Fics like not just second-best after that meteor strike

Val rolls her eyes, then steps closer. Any other quips Carol might have made die in her throat at the solemnity of her look, of the care and concern she finds there. Almost before she knows it, Valkyrie’s strong arms are wrapped around her, her voice quiet in her ear. “How are you doing, Marv?” Val. Marv. Shortenings of titles, rather than proper first names. Carol likes to think it’s a shared joke between them, not some manifestation of their past trauma and thus attempt to keep themselves at a distance. This is why she chooses sarcasm and Skrull torture devices over Fury’s offered psychiatrist.
