At Least Out Loud, I Won't Say I'm In Love by Awkward_Bob_Reynolds

Summary
"Do you not know who Medusa is?"
From anyone else, a question like that might have had Yelena's hackles raised. A patronizing commentary, intentional or not, at her own lack of knowledge about all the pop culture she had missed during her years under the Red Room's control. Those things that had been deemed unnecessary for a Widow to know when blending into society for a mission. The things that had seemed so vast to learn about after Yelena’s hard won freedom, she had decided to give up.
Not from Bob.
All there was, at the root of his question, was genuine curiosity. It was a pact they had made with each other early on in their co-habitation. Their friendship.
Yelena Belova.
A day with Bob at the bookstore.
And the book that forces her to admit how she feels

Summary
There was something wrong with them.
An emptiness
Two connected halves unable to make a whole
Ziv, ever the reasonable half, thought it had started when Natasha and Romulus died. Now it simply felt like something bigger.
Just a...void.
Yelena, ever the deflecting half, argued maybe they were just bored.

That Would Be Enough by Awkward_Bob_Reynolds
Fandoms: Thunderbolts (Movie 2025), Marvel Cinematic Universe, WandaVision (TV)

Summary
Dayenu: a song traditionally part of the Jewish holiday of Passover. Approximate meaning: "It Would Have Been Enough."
Yes, unlike his friends downstairs, Bob Reynolds (and that kindred abomination attached to his heart) might prove an obstacle for Wanda if the night turned deadly.
And yet, some tenuous bit of optimism, still clinging by its splintering fingernails in Wanda's mind, told her she had nothing to worry about with Bob. Some instinctual hum at the back of her reasoning.
Like calling to like after all.
Or Wanda Maximoff and Bob Reynolds have a conversation on the Watchtower roof.

Summary
If she was ranking missions, it was Yelena's opinion that, going undercover at a popular nightclub, wasn't the worst one possible.
When the New Avengers are sent out on a seemingly straight forward mission in a night club, Yelena had assumed her biggest concern would be keeping an eye on Bob during his first time out in the field. And perhaps how many mocktails she would let herself enjoy. Or why she was having so many, new, confusing feelings for Bob, not just professionally, but also during all those late nights she spent listening to Bob's steady voice as he read to her.
(Yelena would only ever admit to thinking about the possible mocktails)
But when the mission twists into something unexpected, Yelena is forced to deal with the ghosts of her past and all the scars that go along with them.

Summary
His laughter was beginning to verge on hysterical. He had probably woken up everyone else in the Tower by now.
Bob couldn't find it in himself to care.
Because instead, he had found it. The thread across the multiverse. The very one he had thought he had accidentally destroyed.
All he had to do was tell Reed and Shuri and a solution could be discovered. A bridge to travel across could be created.
He could bring them all back
He could bring Yelena back.
In the fight against Doom, Bob was forced to make a hard decision to keep Yelena safe from danger. Now three years later, he might have just found a way to correct his mistakes and bring her home.But the reunion will not be as easy as he hopes.

“There you are.” She whispers to the light, to Bob, to the life before that she wants back, “Wait for me. I’ll come get you.”

Summary
Gleaming gold, like the sunrise, dawn's own greeting. The same sun that watched her be born, that touched her bare, pure body. That caressed her skin and kissed the back of her neck with a lover's tenderness[...]
She remembers it now—this feeling is the same as the day of her birth. When, lying naked in a field of flowers, the sunlight bathed her entire body.
The heat of a million suns claiming her as their own.

Red String of Fate by HerBitterSweetness
Fandoms: Thunderbolts (Movie 2025), Marvel Cinematic Universe
04 Jul 2026
Tags
Summary
Yelena Belova possessed a rare, dubious talent of being able to see the red string of fate—an invisible red thread said to bind two destined souls together, tugging them toward each other across any distance or lifetime—ever since her sister died five years ago.
It was the reason why she also offered her services to sever people from their fates. She’s fine with tampering in the gods’ domain, taking cash in exchange for amputations of the heart, as long as she never finds out whose string was connected to hers.
Mm, no, thank you. Too much sentimentality made her itchy, like a vest two sizes too small.
Until she finally felt it tugging at the very end, leading to her newest neighbor next door!
Or: Yelena finds out her red string of fate is a timid, thoughtful man who goes by Bob. (Modern, No Powers AU)

how young and innocent we were by BeluKertasOrang, Khismer

Summary
In 1994, Bob Reynolds’ parents shuttle him off to stay with his aunt in Ohio for the summer. It’s a daunting agenda; he’s never even met Aunt Carol. But it becomes a lot more palatable once he meets one of Aunt Carol’s neighbors – Yelena, fearless and fascinating and a fast friend.
AND
In 2016, Yelena Belova is newly freed from the Red Room’s hold on her, and desperate for something familiar and comforting to anchor her. Those years in Ohio were the first – and the last – time she felt that. Maybe, maybe she can be selfish, and try to track down the boy she’d once known, oh so long ago. That is, if he even remembers her.
