This is a fic from Yelena's point of view, taking place before the end credits scene. All of the new "Avengerz" are living in the tower, and you are learning how to adjust to your new lifestyle, one where you feel a sense of purpose and help others instead of just wasting time doomscrolling. This will be a slow burn. I am going to try to update often, especially if people enjoy my writing! I was a huge Marvel fan, but honestly, the last few years I've been kinda out of the loop, and so watching Thunderbolts was really awesome because now I feel like a 14-year-old fangirl again. Just check it out, you might like it!

This work contains a collection of oneshots from Marvel's Thunderbolts* (2025), with the majority being focused on Bob and Yelena. They will take place after the events of the Thunderbolts* movie, so there will be spoilers and references to events that occur within the movie, as well as the rest of the MCU. It is based on the character representations found in the movie, not the original comics.

Synopsis: Yelena Belova doesn't do feelings-she's sharp, focused, and keeps her distance, especially from unstable allies like Bob Reynolds. He's awkward, powerful, and oddly endearing, but she chalks up their growing closeness to battlefield adrenaline. Bob, however, sees everything: her quiet habits, her silent courage, and the way Bucky hovers near her. Bob could destroy worlds, but he can't admit he's falling for her-not when he thinks she'd choose someone like Bucky. Each mission draws them closer, until one goes wrong and forces Yelena to face the one threat she's never prepared for: a man who is falling in love with her.
