    Summary

    Yelena Belova is a hero. Kind of.
    Bob Reynolds is a hero. Well, not just yet.
    Both of them aren’t certain who they are or what they’re doing, but at least they have each other.
    Now, if only they had the sense to figure out how to become more than friends.

    Summary

    The courtyard suddenly became too silent. No one dared to move. Smoke drifted in slow, uneven ribbons, curling around broken concrete and scorched metal. 

    At the center of it all stands the Sentry.

    Golden light hums faintly beneath his skin, flickering like something barely contained. His arms are wrapped around Yelena—too tight, too careful, like she might disappear if he loosens his grip. Her head rests against his chest. Her breathing shallow.

    Or,

    A few months after the disaster that nearly consumed New York, the team embarks on a new mission and Bob is forced to join them. It suddenly spirals out of control and Bob instinctively transforms into the Sentry to protect Yelena.

    This first chapter is more of an intro. In later chapters, the team quickly learns that the Sentry, Bob, and the Void do not share the same memories. What no one knows is that their emotions drift freely between the three, blurring the line between separate people and a single soul. The team struggles to earn Sentry’s trust as he battles old memories of him fighting them off, and intense feelings that compel him to protect Yelena at all costs.

    Summary

    “I’m sorry, Lindy who?!” Yelena blurted, her voice sharp with disbelief. The room went silent. Every head turned toward the stranger again, like the situation was too surreal for doing anything but stare. Lindy lifted her chin, meeting the weight of their stares without flinching.

    “Reynolds,” she declared. “Lindy Reynolds.”

    Yelena’s gaze snapped immediately to Bob. He looked frozen in place, wide-eyed, like a deer caught in headlights—jaw half-open, hands twitching at his sides. Her stomach sank. Oh, he better have a good explanation for this. Because this woman did not just stroll in here and claim to be his wife.

    Summary

    Bob has had the most support he’s ever had in his life, living in the Watchtower. Still, he’s struggling with the realization that the power of the Sentry and the destruction of the Void are a package deal, and finally decides that he has to stop being both. Being around the New Avengers only makes his desire to be useful a burning need.

    Yelena loves the team, and she’s proud of how she’s stepped up as a leader, but unlike the original Avengers, being the New Avengers came in with all sorts of strings she wasn’t prepared for. Also, the person she’s been the most herself with in the world doesn’t remember any of their most powerful conversations.

    Both of their lives have improved so much. With their pasts, they shouldn’t have anything to complain about. Still, they’re not sure how they can go forward from here.

    Until Yelena comes in with a proposal: “Would you like to go to couples counselling with me? I think we could trick a therapist."
