I'm so curious about how Tiny Tom (GG anon killed it with that I laughed) reacts to Yelena leaving.
“…and I told you I didn’t like you letting a total rando be around my baby. She was practically living here, KitKat. Look what happened.”
Tom speaks from the ensuite bathroom, mid-pee. Kate’s eyes roll completely at the sound of the nickname she’s grown to despise.
“You don’t get a say on who gets to come and go from my apartment.”
He steps out, stark naked and jumps on the bed.
“This could’ve ended badly. What if she had snatched her?”
Kate groans.
“Oh my god. She wasn’t going to kidnap Ri.”
“How do you know that? She…poof…gone…in the middle of the night. She could’ve just as easily vanished with our daughter.”
“Keep it down. You’re being too loud. She hasn’t been sleeping too well lately.”
“Nightmares?”
Kate nods.
“I bet the stranger pulling a Copperfield on her didn’t help.”
Kate groans.
“Get out…Leave.”
“Giving her some stability right now would be nice. Mom. Dad. In the same house. No more split days or weekends…arranged pick ups…different bedrooms.”
“Tom, I’m so not in the mood. Go. I have a big day tomorrow and I could use the time to review my pitch.”
“You could practice your pitch on me. Like you used to do.”
“Please go home.”
Tom sighs and tries to kiss her goodbye but Kate turns her face and his lips lands on her cheek.
“Well you can call me if you need anything, KitKat.”
“You know I won’t.”
“Did tonight.”
Kate doesn’t answer.

The fact that Vaggie knew it was a HORRIBLE idea for her to go to Heaven because there were so many things that could go wrong and so many bad memories there, but her girlfriend needed her and she couldn't say no to her cute face; the fact that the headstrong, optimistic, determined, powerful Princess of Hell knew she couldn't handle taking this huge step alone and the only one person she could imagine being by her side in that critical moment was Vaggie.
The fact that even when she felt so hurt, heartbroken, and betrayed and tried for a second to deny it, Charlie never stopped loving Vaggie, still referred to her as her girlfriend, and had full faith that she was completely succeeding in her task (getting detailed sensitive information from a weapons-dealing Overlord) while Charlie herself was struggling and failing with her own.
The fact that even with Charlie so upset that she intentionally threw a painful commentbat her (a comment with a subtle double meaning, though Charlie herself was definitely NOT thinking clearly enough to realize that implication and only meant to make a jab at the secret-keeping), Vaggie still wanted so desperately to protect Charlie out of love that she regrew angelic wings despite having been in Hell for years.
The fact that one gesture from Charlie told Vaggie everything she wanted to say to her, and that mutual understanding was so complete that she didn't hesitate to run to her knowing she would be accepted because her girlfriend still loved her and forgave her.
The support, love, and intimate understanding these two share even when things are hard and painful is so beautiful. They've been together for years; they've been through so much; and it's wonderful to have that respected and portrayed canonically instead of dipping into that easy, fan-craved trope of dramatically heavy relationship angst. I'm glad they left that angst itch to be scratched by fanworks instead, because these ladies aren't that type.
They are powerful; they are determined; they balance and complete each other; and most importantly, they are so head-over-heels and experienced in their love for each other that it took one day for Charlie to deeply consider everything and fully reconcile with Vaggie, who never doubted her even for a second. Their relationship isn't just established; it's stable, and I love to see that for a wlw couple. <3
