THANK YOU SO MUCH WRITERS FOR MAKING OUR LIFE SO MUCH BETTER! I am so grateful. A friend of mine who is having a really bad time recently discovered the wonderful world of ao3 (I showed it to her) and it is helping her a lot to have stories to look forward to. So I am full of gratitudes towards the writers, I don’t think most of you realize how impactful and essentiel your writing is, you are helping people and bringing joy and representation and everything, thank you ❤️

this is real enough to ruin us by eauline, I am currently obsessed with this fic, it’s a vampire au (trendy theme right now in the fandom and I love it) it’s got family drama, spicyyyyy scenes, HAPPY LIVING DOGS that are so cute and an assassin vampire and a vampires assassin, the writer also wrote the distance between here and gone, another absolute banger that is going to make you cry trust me

i still fall for you like suns do for skies by mooncacti and swimberly, I think I already recommended this fic (if I remember right) but I LOVE IT and chapter 2 came out so it deserve another recommandation! Yelena and Kate, Natasha alive, dogs, family drama all the things that I love, it’s amazingly written and I am so excited about it!

Imagine What You'll Know Tomorrow by @gayasawindow this is a Men In Black AU, which is something I had never read before so truly an unexpected AU, like all of gayaswindow works this is amazing! And I can’t recommend it enough. Same goes for You Were Never Supposed To Leave, a Harry Potter AU that is sooooo goooood so so good, with mysteries and dark past and great dilemmas, just omg so good

The time I kill is killing me by Zarkozaur, it’s been a few months since the last update but I have been thinking about this fic and I am reading it again, it’s like a time travelling bishova story that is so interesting and well written! The story is so creative and well thought out, I had to recommend it.

A few recommandation from the bishova fanfic librarian (me), they are all recent-ish fic! (go feed the authors!!)

Better Late Than Straight short one shot with bishova and a Natasha cameo!

The latest chapter of why am so dangerous to you came out and it’s everything!

Lately I have been loving the space between sisters, it got everything I love : angsty yelena and complicated family relationships (and bishova of course), it’s updated every week! Go give it a read!!

The distance between here and now is such an emotional punch, just amazing and devastating

Go send love to the writers!

You’ve got my body, flesh, and bone demon!yelena! I AM OBSESSED with this fic!!

I still fall for you like suns do for skies FIRST CHAPTER IS 12K OF BEAUTIFUL WRITING! There is bishova and also, you know by now how much I love it, COMPLEX YELENA AND NATASHA FAMILY RELATIONSHIP!

The sky is always pink LAUREADY IS AT IT AGAIN, making us cry in this poetic and beautiful yelena centric slice of life kind of fic!

Once again, thank you to the wonderful writers, you all make life way more fun ❤️ I am genuinely so grateful for everyone of you

Kate never liked wearing dresses even as a child but her mother always forced her

She was always really muscular (because of sport) and tall and because of that she was treated differently than the other girl

Since she grew up in New York in privileged spaces, she never felt like she had to conform, she always felt really confident with how she presented

In high school she learns about everything lgbt+ and about gender norms and everything. She learns that she can have fun with gender expression, but she doesn’t really have friends/partners with whom she can explore all of that

In uni, she buys a binder and she discovers that some days it feels good, others it doesn’t

My hc for yelena is that she is so girlish, like she love wearing dresses and having long hair and extravagant makeup. She is longing to be the girl she couldn’t be, the one with the dog and the parties and the sister.

She has never been with anyone other than men, so when she start dating Kate, she doesn’t really know what to do.

When she finds Kate’s binders, while Kate is in the shower and she is being nosy, yelena is really confused. She doesn’t know why Kate would wear it. But Kate explain to her how she doesn’t really feel like a woman but she doesn’t feel like a man either but it feels good and yelena really listen.

They talk about it, Kate’s point of view and yelena says “I’ve never had to think about it, I have just always been a women” and she realizes it’s like everything else, something that was assigned to her, a performance.

They talk about which pronouns Kate prefers, gender identities (Kate like the terms genderfluid), nicknames, and limits. And at the end yelena teases Kate “so are you my boyfriend now?” And Kate stutters (she loves it).

Yelena presents kate as her boyfriend to a confused alexei, after a night of shenanigans he tells kate “you are good boyfriend for my yelena”

Kate loves all the new little things that they do after that discussion. Like yelena helping her with her tie and then placing her hands on her flattened chest, or yelena jokingly making them soap beards during their joined showers/bath, or helping her with her makeup when she feels like presenting more femme.

1) Kate is really popular, doing all the sport and everything. She is idealizing the avengers. Yelena is the new girl in their private school. She is a bit weird, she smoke and she skip schools a lot. In this universe, yelena got out of the red room at 16/17, and she found Natasha like in the movie. She joins her sister in New York, Natasha gives her a room in her apartment. But Nat is always on mission or hanging out with the avengers. So Yelena is left alone, and she kind of hate the avengers. Yelena is reluctant to even talk to Kate at first but Kate win her over. They bound over sports, dogs, and being left alone by their families.

2) Mystery HS AU! Kate is popular again. Yelena got a different life in this one. Grew up in Russian orphanages but got adopted by Melina and Alexei at like 7ish. By the time she joins Kate’s class, Natasha left the city to join something like the fbi. Yelena and Kate aren’t really close (Kate already has a crush on Yelena) but they are forced to work together to uncover the mysterious events happening in town (it’s Bob). In this universe Kate is Kate, and yelena is yelena but more her joyful and weird side that we saw in black widow. Less broody than thunderbolts. And in this universe she has like 3 dogs because I want her happy and fulfilled. And Alexei is a girl dad so if yelena wants a dog she will get a dog.

3) after destroying the bell tower Kate get send to a private school for like delinquents. Yelena is her roommate in the dorms, she got sent here by her adoptive family (not the widow fam) for being violent. Yelena is friends with the thunderbolts but she is still lost and sad when she meets kate.

Yelena is an amazing cook because she learned by watching cooking videos on YouTube at 3am.

Or

Yelena is just as bad if not worse than Kate at cooking because she has children taste and she doesn’t care about her health so she eats whatever is quick and available + she like when it’s weird and surprising like banana with tomato sauce.

Maybe she used to love cooking and she started to learn before the blip and after that it didn’t bring her joy anymore so now she just eats whatever and mix questionnable foods in the hope of feeling something ? (Like with her make up ?)

Either way, both Kate and Yelena love eating, especially cheese. For their first anniversary Herman cook them a Mac and cheese pizza and yelena draw a hot sauce heart on it (Kate can’t eat more than one slice, she is bad with spice).

Kate is definitely an affectionate and touchy person, and she is big with consent. At the start of their relationship, she is very cautious -knowing about yelena’s past experience with bodies and autonomy- and Yelena doesn’t understand why Kate is being “weird”.

Kate kisses Yelena on the head! One time she does it in front of the thunderbolts team and they all tries to embarrass yelena but she bullies them back twice as hard.

All the animals sleep on the bed, Lucky, Fanny, and the Guinea Pig (and Bob sometimes).

Kate is surprised to see yelena being very affectionate and close with her team. She cuddles Bob, kiss Ava’s cheek, falls asleep on her dad shoulder while watching tv, let Bucky style her hair.
