Summary
By the time she and Yelena were doing the final fitting, the dress was nearly complete—like it was supposed to be for a final fitting.
Agatha was right next to them as Yelena tried it on.
“Oh, wow,” Kate said, taking a step back as if to get the full picture.
“It really does fit perfectly,” Agatha commented, sounding impressed.
Yelena was too; she had doubted Kate’s photographic memory to get all the measures right.
As Kate helped Yelena out of the dress, she felt her own face growing warm once again. Yelena pretended not to notice.
or
The Great British Sewing Bee if it were set in New York City where Kate and Yelena quietly stitch their way towards each other one garment at time.

Summary
Yelena’s fully focused on Kate now, gaze piercing; looking at Kate as if she can see every less-than-innocent thought she’s had involving the two of them. She wonders — just for a moment — if this is where Yelena breaks; where she laughs and tells Kate she’s just playing around, and Kate just prays the ground opens up and swallows her whole. And maybe Kate was on to something, thinking Yelena could read her mind because she gives her the slightest tilt of her head and an eyebrow raise.
A challenge.
An invitation.
or
They've been dancing around this for months and Kate's finally hit her breaking point.

Summary
“So you rescued him.”
“More like I stole him?” Kate winced. “Kidnapped. Dognapped? Um. I saw him around before; I’m pretty sure one of the mobsters took care of him sometimes, though he obviously wasn’t doing a very good job about it.”
Yelena blinked, opening her mouth, then closing it again as she took a moment to process what she had just heard. “You stole a dog.”
“Technically? It depends a little on your definition of stealing, I suppose.”
Or
Kate rescues Lucky and brings him to the animal shelter to see if anyone is looking for a lost dog before taking him home. Yelena is a volunteer at the shelter.

Summary
“Trust me, all of that will be sorted out. They’re not going to send you up there without all the bases covered. Both of you will be fine.”
Both of you. Right because she’s not going alone. Someone is going with her and she still doesn’t know who.
That’s when she sees the way Clint is looking at her, like he’s specifically said this to remind her of that fact. Like maybe, finally, she’ll figure out who is going with her. “You know, don’t you? You know who's coming with me.”
“Well he should, he practically begged me.” That voice, the accent, all of it sends a tremble down Kate’s spine. She’s seen that face outside of her work on that stupid billboard for months and yet when she turns around, the sight of her in person still makes her stomach flip.
“Yelena,”

Summary
Yelena has been travelling ever since her and Natasha parted ways after they finally ended the Red Room. She's running from something, but she doesn't know what. That's how she ends up stuck in a small, sleepy town in upstate New York with a broken-down truck. Stuck in Levy, NY, she meets the doe-eyed, sweet Kate Bishop, who just so happens to know exactly what's wrong with the truck, and exactly how to steal Yelena's heart in the process.

Summary
"Yelena?”
She waved. “Hi, Kate Bishop. How are you?”
“I- I'm good. You're here?” Kate said intelligently. Then, a bit more coherently, “Why are you here?”
“Do not be so stunned, Kate Bishop. You asked me out for drinks. I have brought drinks.”
Yelena comes back after Hawkeye. Kate comes back after Thunderbolts*. Over the course of about three years, they fall in love.
Very slice-of-life, but also very angsty. It's a fun time! Mind the tags. Rated T for themes.

Summary
Yelena was trying valiantly to adjust to the world around her, but it was harder than she thought it would be. Being abruptly yanked out of chemical subjugation had been disorienting at best and dehumanizing at worst, as she tried and failed to learn how to be a person again.
At least before the Blip, she’d had Natalia to guide her. Now, Yelena had no one.
…Or so she thought.

Summary
She used to be able to just feel the urge to draw and pluck something from her imagination to work on. Now, every time she goes to put pen to paper it’s nothing but Kim. And it’s fucking embarrassing. So, she shoves it deep, deep down into the depths of her chest, as far as it allows, and settles herself in the fact that she’s cursed to just let her feelings pour out into sketches in a notebook and remain there, forever, unspoken.
or; trini has a bunch of sketches of kim in her biology notebook and she's fine with living with her huge crush until she accidentally gives kim the wrong notebook and oh god she's got to get that thing back before kim sees.

Summary
After being defeated by the heroes, Gothel makes one last ditch effort to win, kidnapping Alice and using both their untouched potential in order to recreate the world. And she succeeds. Gothel changes everything into her own perfect image with herself as Empress. Unfortunately, a side effect is that Alice is completely unaffected by her spell. When she manages to escape, Gothel realises that she could prove troublesome, but no matter; Alice will soon find that she doesn't have quite so many friends in Gothel's world as she did in her own.
Edit: This work is technically complete however the epilogue is not properly done. From Chapter 25 there has been no proof read or editing, so it can get kind of sloppy. I won't be coming back to this but I wanted to post all the stuff I had already written for the people who had enjoyed it and left so many wonderful comments. Thank you.

Summary
Alice Jones, a golden-haired girl with a fair complexion. Taupe freckles made a cute trail along her jawline, birthmark constellations across a landscape of smooth skin. She often wore a smile, exposing a set of iridescent white teeth. Her exquisite azure irises glimmered, drenched in a fascinating hue of cerulean. Not that the young woman could actually perceive any of this, the color spectrum evaded her sight.
Colors, a characteristic of human visual discernment, described by using names such as yellow, orange, red, violet, indigo, blue, and green. Most people were doomed to see life through a palette of greys. Trichromaticism was a privilege only bestowed onto individuals who had unlocked the ability, a process known as accentuation. A sophisticated term, the word simply referred to the romantic transaction of kissing an anointed person and receiving the gift of prismatic vision.
