Kate/Yelena Masterlist 2
part one
a kiss a day (anything for kate bishop) (ao3) - dare121 T, 49k
Summary: Adjusting her fake glasses, Kate moves in the direction of the nearest painting and settles herself in front of it, doing her best to look like she’s taking notes on the notepad in her hands. The lanyard around her neck swings uncomfortably close to the rope that separates herself from the art on display as she tries to take in her surroundings at the same time. She only spares a glance at the picture, and squints at the three alien creatures on it that mostly resemble common house cats, while being just off enough to unnerve the observer.
all you’re giving me is fiction (ao3) - sten06 M, 42k
Summary: Kate is Avenger-Adjacent, already taking up the new Hawkeye mantel when Yelena tracks her down for help with a mission (not before doing COPIOUS amounts of research on her, of course). When Kate realizes its Wilson Fisk they’re going after, and his connection to her mother, she has a ridiculously wild idea for how they should go undercover — as girlfriends, naturally.
(Also: Natasha is alive and giving all the sisterly advice. She’s off-world with Captain Marvel, because I say so.)

The Kate/Yelena Fake Dating AU
Arrows Cutting Through the Cold (ao3) - Lord_Ghirahim clint/laura, kate/yelena, + more T, 58k
Summary: Kate Bishop is tired.
She’s fought the Furies, hellhounds, Medusa, empousa, even dueled and defeated Hyperion in an excruciating one-on-one fight. She destroyed Kronos alongside Percy and Annabeth, and then did the whole thing over again with Gaea less than a year later. Finally, to top it all off, a purple alien named Thanos killed half the universe.
Because Kate really needed that in her life.
But when a strange alliance between monsters and thugs rears its ugly head, Kate realizes all is not what it seems. As a new threat rises that brings the greatest demigods of the age together, Kate questions who her enemies and friends are. Betrayal and romance ensues, culminating in a final showdown that forces Kate to confront her worst trauma—literally.
a voice that came from you and me (ao3) - sten06 M, 25k
Summary: Kate Bishop is 10 years old when she hears the voice for the very first time.
It’s rare to hear it so young (she learns this later) and she doesn’t understand the significance quite yet, but there’s something about it that’s exciting. Incredible, even, which is a word she doesn’t use often but she’s pretty sure is appropriate for this.
OR
Kate/Yelena are soulmates and can communicate telepathically until their first in-person meeting. This is the story of their relationship through the years, their first meeting, and what happens next.
Come back, Be Here (ao3) - nwd21 G, 5k
Summary: It’s Kamala’s idea. They could use this. If they recorded Kate singing with her beautiful angel voice and with an anguish so deep any human would be able to relate to, then maybe they could manipulate the public opinion in their favor. A message that says “we are just like you. Just doing our best to get by.” And who else to better convey this message than the one member of the team without superpowers? Yes, Kamala thinks, this is yet another great idea Miss Marvel.
Kate writes Yelena a song from space. She doesn’t expect to get a song as a reply.
Come Back Home (ao3) - StolenParadise E, 15k
Summary: Yelena has felt overwhelmed regarding her new relationship with Kate, not having expected so many changes. She needs a little bit of time to think. What happens when a little time to think turns into Kate missing in action during a mission?
Deadpan’s (ao3) - genteel_joints T, 8k
Summary: Open mic night: where Kate Bishop discovers she is not, in fact, meant to be a stand-up comedian. One disastrous set, several painful archery jokes, and one devastatingly accurate heckle later, Kate discovers the universe’s idea of a punchline, her soulmate is the gorgeous Russian who just publicly eviscerated her with perfect comedic timing.
OR
When the universe decides your soulmate should be the woman who just publicly humiliated you during amateur comedy night, you have to question cosmic judgment.
Devil in a Widow’s Web (ao3) - shemyaza E, 1k
Summary: Kate had a long night as Daredevil and can’t sleep without her assassin girlfriend’s heartbeat to drown out the world.
Happy Anniversary (ao3) - ProbablyHuman E, 5k
Summary: It’s their one year anniversary together and Kate has a gift for her girlfriend. A strap on bigger than their usual toys, and she is more than ready to put it to use on her favorite ass in the whole world.
Yelena wants it even more than she does.
Happy Birthday (ao3) - Madquinn13 kate/yelena T, 1k
Summary: It’s Natasha’s first birthday since her death and Yelena isn’t sure how to celebrate it.
in space no one can hear you scream (ao3) - ooga_94_booga M, 35k
Summary: Did you hear about the new restaurant on the moon? The food is great, but there's just no atmosphere.
---
aka my love letter to the Alien franchise! For the Bishova October Challenge Day 20 prompt (medieval / sci-fi).
Kidnapped! (ao3) - Sartapaw92 T, 11k
Summary: Kate Bishop takes a break from her superhero duties for a while as she relaxes in her Apartment. Yelena Belova remains active in working for the ill-repute as she likes to be paid. At times, Yelena likes to mess with Kate, mainly over the phone. And at times Yelena likes to bring Kate to assist her with whatever task that Yelena has been given by her Mob Boss. The next job will be no exception.
Knock Down The Hinges (ao3) - BurdenedWithPointlessPurpose E, 3k
Summary: In the beginning pissed off was an understatement. A drastic one. How else was Kate supposed to feel being assigned a bodyguard? Unfortunately for her mom, Yelena keeping her out of trouble doesn’t exactly pan out the way she had planned.
Live, Laugh, Louvre (ao3) - DoomTheShroom M, 6k
Summary: Kate kicked her legs over the two empty seats. “I can’t believe I was personally asked to help with a Top Secret mission by an Avenger! I knew you missed me.”
“Don’t flatter yourself, Kate Bishop,” Yelena teased cheerily from the cockpit.
Smiling, Kate launched out of her seat and catapulted into the passenger seat, nearly knocking her boot against the side of Yelena’s head. “Tell me everything!”
But as Yelena unfolded her plan, Kate almost wished she’d been kept in the dark until the very last moment. At least that way, she could claim coercion when asked by the authorities. “You want to do what?” she exclaimed.
“We need to rob the Louvre.”
OR the Bishova Louvre Heist story I couldn't get out of my head.
Pretzels and Pizza (ao3) - Spikedluv T, 1k
Summary: When Bucky dragged Yelena out for an afternoon of ‘fun’, she didn’t know they were going to Clint Barton’s apartment, or that Kate Bishop would be there.
push me over (ao3) - Peter_Pandemonium E, 7k
Summary: Kate Bishop has a bisexual awakening courtesy of an extremely attractive blonde woman who she meets in a club.
Rage Unleashed (ao3) - KurosakiIchigoat E, 86k
Summary: Following the fall out of being bonded with the symbiotes can Kate and Yelena move forward and heal or will other threats force them to reconcile with what has happened to them, and what they both want?
Stay Gold (ao3) - Peter_Pandemonium G, 1k
Summary: In the immediate aftermath of the events in Thunderbolts*, Yelena is trying to catch her breath (emotionally), and the universe sends her a sign in the form of an enemy (frenemy?) from her past and a very cute dog. Maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Unintentional Double Date (ao3) - dvdson mj/peter, kate/yelena T, 13k
Summary: “I don’t know, I panicked!” Peter throws his arms wide to his side. “I was scared she’d turn me down, so I told her it was just a casual, hanging-out-between-friends thing!”
“I thought you said you asked her out!”
“I did! But then I thought, ‘Wait, what if she doesn’t like me like that?’ and then I was running my mouth, and…” He gestures to her. “Now she thinks the three of us are hanging out together.”
Kate sighs.
She sighs again.
“Goddamnit, Parker…”
~
When Peter screws up and accidentally invites MJ to hang out instead of asking her out, Kate’s brilliant plan is to invite Yelena as well.
And that’s how the four of them accidentally go on a carnival double date. (And accidentally form an unlikely found family.)
We Gotta Get Out of This Place (ao3) - Uncle Asad (Uncle_Asad) M, 34k
Summary: After an exhausting night in which she fell asleep on the couch in Yelena’s arms, Kate Bishop wakes up in an unfamiliar place—a makeshift operating room in which she’s being called upon to save lives. All the usual questions run through her mind: Where am I? How did I get here? How do I get home? What happened to Yelena? But before she can figure out the answers to those questions, she’s got to stop her patient from bleeding out!
Ship: Katherine/Elena
AU: Katherine pulls Elena out of the water under Wickery Bridge
[Three Sentence Fic Ask Meme]
…
Elena’s eyes shoot open and she coughs.
Water tears out of her throat in violent, choking bursts and she rolls onto her side, hacking and gasping like her lungs have forgotten how breathing works. Everything hurts. Her chest burns.
Somewhere above her someone is kneeling over her.
Elena blinks up through streaming eyes. It’s night, she knows it is—she remembers the bridge, the water, the headlights—but everything is blindingly bright, like someone dragged the sun down into the trees.
“Am I… dead?” she croaks.
The blur above her doesn’t answer immediately. Elena squints harder at it, the light stabbing straight through her skull.
“…Are you an angel?” she manages.
The blur snorts.
“Oh, sweetheart,” she says, sounding deeply unimpressed. “You almost die and the first thing you do is assume the angel would look exactly like you? That’s incredibly self-centered.”
Elena frowns, confused.
She blinks a few times and the brightness finally resolves into something smaller—much smaller than the sun.
It’s just a cellphone flashlight.
And the woman holding it—Elena’s stomach drops. Dark hair. Same nose. Same mouth. Same face staring back at her like a reflection that decided to step out of the mirror.
The woman tilts her head, studying her.
“Well,” she says lightly, lowering the phone. “At least the resemblance is still flattering.”
KNOW THY ENEMY, katherine + elena.

Elena after coming back from the Viking ages™
Elena sing-songs old viking musics while doing house chores;
Seeing Elijah with a bloodied shirt and straight out telling him to take it off so she could soak it in water and salt before it gets stained;
Doing recipes by heart but getting confused when it comes to the taste change of vegetable, fruit, etc. over the years;
Her being hyper aware of which day of the month is a full moon and preparing rituals accordingly;
Swords fighting as stress relief;
Talking to her children in old viking;
Mixing American history, culture, etc. with viking when writing.
I honestly can’t imagine loving Katherine but finding Elena completely uninteresting or loving Elena but having nothing but contempt for Katherine. Like I love both but prefer Katherine, yet I just think neither would be nearly as interesting without the other’s existence and what they bring to / inform in the other character. They’re fundamentally not nearly as interesting without the other.
