I'm Sorry, But There Is No Heterosexual Explanation For These Two

Archer and the Assassin 5

Note: The header image is a photo capture of a gif edit by @seaquell . The gift edit is beautiful and can be seen above on my blog.

This is the first chapter or fic where I have entered into the romantic shipping of these two characters. I may continue in this vein, but for now, this idea worked out pretty good. I hope you enjoy it.

Two Times Yelena came to Kate’s bed and one time she didn’t.

It had been about a month since Yelena decided to stay with Kate. It had never been discussed. Kate had never given her a key. The blonde spy had never needed one. Yelena would simply let herself in after whatever job she would go off to do. She would crash on the futon when she returned; most of those first nights without any covers and still in her tactical gear. Sometimes, either she or Kate would make dinner, something simple. But most of the time they were on their own. They were friends, after all, not a couple.

Yelena didn’t complain, but there was something in her ‘my business is not yours’ and ‘for your own safety’ comments that gave Kate the impression that the blonde assassin didn’t care for her new bosses. Of course, it was possible she was being protective which made Kate smile wistfully.

When Kate had gone to bed that evening, Yelena had not yet returned. She waited for a while, scrolling her Instagram, which was nothing more than news items and celebrity postings. It was a sobering and sad moment for her, realizing she had no friends, or acquaintances for that matter. She drifted off to thinking of the Bartons and their nice nuclear family.

The brunette stirred awake when she felt movement in the bed. Someone or something had touched her leg. She sat up straight in shock and though to room was dark, she notice the blonde hair and lovely, oddly peaceful, face of her friend Yelena.  

The blonde was dead asleep and had apparently gotten into the bed silently and simply gone to sleep. Kate laid back down as quietly as possible, resting her head on the pillow facing Yelena. Her friend was beautiful. Was it creepy to watch her sleep? After all, they weren’t a couple. She imagined the assassin knowing she was watching her sleep and pretending to be asleep just the scare the crap out of her at any moment. But, she didn’t. Kate also marveled at forwardness of Yelena getting into her bed. Did the woman even consider that Kate might not have wanted it? Or, did she think, or already know, that Kate had fantasized about it many times?

From where her head lay, Kate could see that Yelena was still wearing her tactical suit, at least the under armour long sleeve that zipped up to her neck. Without removing any covers, Kate lightly touched her friend’s leg with a big toe. Yes, she was still wearing her spy pants for lack of a better term. Kate thought it could not be comfortable to sleep in those clothes. She thought they might be too hot, too itchy with sweat. She could how sweat had dried in her hair, at the temples and scalp. Yelena Belova was in her bed. The mysterious woman had literally broken into her life, first making herself at home in her apartment, now making herself at home in her bed. Was Kate such a pushover or did it go deeper than that.

“Do not overthink, Kate Bishop,” Yelena said through a yawn. “It will keep us both awake. Do you want me to go to futon?”

“No,” Kate replied, easily. “You’re fine.”

“Okay. Good night.”

I've been wanting to make a Bishova fic with a daughter for a while, it's still in progress, but I'll leave you with a preview🫣

(By the way, that manip was one of the first I made for the fandom)

Okay but what if Rejanis were a cheesy sapphic novel (yk the book covers I’m talking about)

ALSO THEY GIVE SAPPHIC NOVEL VIBES LIKE IMAGINE IF THEY WERE THE MCS THE INNER DIALOGUE??? AND LIKE WHAT ABOUT POST MOVIE???? It’s got all the bones of a good cheesy friends to enemies to lovers novel

Kate buying Thunderbolts Merch part 2:

I haven't been able to stop thinking about this since I saw the Thunderbolts cereal poster.

So here's an edit of Kate after buying a cereal she doesn't like just because Yelena is on the box

a poisonous kiss 💀

Hi, I've read your text about Yelena not being canonically ace and it was really well written so I thought maybe you wanted to know Devin Grayson just wrote a whole ass Twitter thread saying she doesn't know/doesn't think she's ace lmao

All I will say is, poor Devin had to clarify this again… Thank you for telling me anon! And yeah, she said once more that any concept of Yelena’s sexuality is a headcanon and that that is wonderful. She also added that we had to respect each other and not fight. So people: stop saying Yelena is canonically X or Y. She is not. It’s been confirmed several times, the many possible interpretations that a couple of panels of the comic may have (which, as Devin previously said, vary from person to person and that’s wonderful) are all valid, stop harassing those who don’t share your headcanons. Because that’s all they are and Devin Grayson had to spoke about this again to prevent people harassing others with a different hc. Those who do that: stop. There is no canon thing here, you can (once more) see what Devin said less than a couple hours ago on that topic (I’ll leave the link here, because she addresses it again on Twitter, thank god for that woman). Be kind to each other. I’ll leave the link at the bottom, I’ll make dinner and I’ll read a beautiful Bishova fic on ao3 for comfort before going to sleep because it’s been a hell of a day and I deserve it. Cheers. ❤️

The thread she made:

Have a wonderful evening everyone, and enjoy your fictional characters and your favorite headcanons about them without harassing anyone on the internet.

If you wish to have more knowledge regarding this topic (although it was not written in the best of my days, but I’m human too and so I’ll leave it as it is, I don’t like hypocrisy) there you go:

"After all this time?" "Always"

"After all this time?" "Always"

Okay, I've seen this post and it is absolutely ridiculous. So I had to make this giga post of my own. I will address this. Yelena's creator

There's space for every one of us here. Let's behave. Let's also support characters like Tremor in the "big comics" who actually and purposely try to address this properly and of which no one has spoken about or supported.

those people who make non-con fics of Kate and Yelena are so fucking weird and need literal psychiatric help before they become a danger to themselves and others 🧚‍♀️✨

I really can't understand how those kinds of people get to have readers, I was very disgusted with the tags of the stories that came out of those two accounts. From what I can see from the descriptions, they put Yelena as a sexual predator who abuses Kate, I know that creative freedom exists, but there are certain limits that should not be crossed, stop spreading things that romanticize sexual abuse.

NEW LIGHTCANNON SKINS!! I’M SPINNING IN CIRCLES AND JUMPING UP AND DOWN!! I KNOWW THEY ARE IN LOVE!!

I’m gonna ignore the blatant timebomb implications…😁

“Let her go” Yelena’s eyes fall shut the moment she hears her voice. Its been close to two months since she heard it last. She opens her eyes and looks her assailant dead in the eye. “Don’t listen to her, do what you came here to do.” She chokes through the crushing of her throat. “Bucky, drop her, don’t test me” Kate growls and Yelena wheezes when Bucky closes his vibranium hand tighter around her neck. “She’s a liability.” Bucky answers, short and efficient as ever, cold, detached. A soldier, like Yelena. “I swear to god, I will shoot an arrow through your head,” Kate roars and Bucky doesn’t even flinch. “She’s a liability, Bishop.” He says again, short, and Yelena starts seeing black spots obscuring her vision. “No. She’s my wife.”

Ever since this was posted, it stayed in my mind and so I just had to create this manip. Pls do check out her twitter (@/DoubletheTrou13) and AO3 (Neda5555)
