Florence Pugh was once asked if Yelena could team up with anyone within the MCU, who would it be? Her answer was none other than the Scarlet Witch. I have to agree. Sharing the same experiences of being Russian, losing their siblings to the same man, and living through loneliness, I think it's fitting we get some Widow/Witch bonding time. So here it is.
This is a fic that is very dialogue-driven, probably boring, and overall not that exciting. That is to say, exciting stuff does happen, but there's sadness within that exciting stuff. However, one could argue, and I am, that that is the entirety of the MCU. It's got a lot of Wanda and Yelena, a sprinkle of Val, and a dash of Kate. And don't forget Fanny, too.
And fear not, this fic doesn't connect with my other two written, but there are some overlapping references. It is the third installment in this anthology, and reading them in order is not necessary for enjoyment. That being said, enjoy.
The Kate and Yelena team-up we all dream about. Slightly connected to the sister fic of mine -- not really -- not necessary to read them in order, but this is the second edition. I miss Yelena and Kate. I think we can all agree Hawkeye was not long enough, and the amount of time Florence was in it was a joke. But I digress. I present you with my coping mechanism.
Kate is fresh off the high of what happened in New York with Clint, spending the holidays with his family. When Yelena pops by, Laura convinces her to take on Kate as an apprentice with the hopes of them becoming partners. As reluctant as Clint was about Kate the first time, Yelena accepts begrudgingly, and thus begins a story of rescue, kidnapping, spilled blood, and found friendship. Who's in?
