Agents of SHIELD fic. Bobbi Morse/Lance Hunter post-divorce. Bobbi is more than a little (justifiably) angry about Hunter keeping his options open with someone else (Hartley) but won't cut herself out of her own side deal with Hartley and Mac. The betrayal stings, but she manages to make the working relationship still work. She doesn't think about Hunter, doesn't need to think about him, and it "never comes up" in conversation. Mac worries about her a bit, but she shuts him down when he brings it up and focuses on the project, creating/recreating and dealing infinity formula and an aspect of the supersoldier serum, if she just had more time to work on it.
Hunter largely stops freelancing for SHIELD and pulls jobs with Hartley until he joins her crew. Bobbi's name never comes up, he never even has to think about her. Eventually he becomes close friends, maybe more with Hartley, but it doesn't actually cross over. He wasn't cheating, just moonlighting, keeping his options open because that's surviving, that's smart, and who cares if the distrust should have gone both ways?
