Natasha Romanoff x Reader Oneshots

natasha romanoff headcanons

so sorry for disappearing😭 I've been having the writers block of my life and cannot write more than five coherent sentences... anyways I don't want this book to die and hope that those get me back into flow😭

1. Natasha's favourite band is Nirvana- she kind of adapted that from Maria once she showed her. Additionally I see a lot of people saying that she listens to Pop Music like Taylor Swift or something like that- I, personally, see her listening to Rock in general or something Metal-like.

2. Clint got her her arrow necklace the first time he retired because she thought he was abandoning her. Now she could wear him around anytime she wants, it's one of her most prized possessions.

3. She smokes. She's not addicted but needs a way to release the stress sometimes.

4. She is a lesbian. And she struggled a great deal with this. In the Red Room she was taught that every non cishet relationship and interaction is wrong and she believed that- even when they taught her to seduce women because she should play into "those roles". Later when she escaped she tried loving men but never could hold onto a relationship and they would break quickly (Bruce for example), she soon "realised" that women were doing something for her but ignored and denied it for long because it was "wrong". Basically just a lot of heteronormativity and comphet stuffed into a poor traumatised human being lmao.

5. When Wanda joined the team Natasha hated her- one, for the Age of Ultron events, for obvious reasons, and secondly Clint started to care for her which heavily triggered her abandonment issues. Also, and I fear some will dislike me for this😭, I heavily dislike the WandaNat ship. Firstly, I don't see ANY tension between the two. Secondly, after the AoU thing happened I just don't feel like Nat would develop feelings for Wanda, I think that, yes, Natasha's hatred faded over the time and she maybe even grew fond of her- but nothing romantic. Also and this is probably even the biggest point, when they first encountered in AoU Wanda was 16/17 and Nat was 30 I think- with Nat's past I don't see how she would fall for a minor with the ripe age of 16/17 when all she ever knew was grooming and sexual abuse.

6. When Nat first joined SHIELD, Bobbi helped her out with English after they discovered that Natasha struggled to read in English. Reading in English was never required in the Red Room, so she was never really taught. But she was absolutely ashamed of herself and because she could speak flawless no one ever even considered that she couldn't read- it took them month to figure out. The only one who knew was Clint, he was rereading and correcting her floppy mission reports for her.

7. She struggles with insomnia and sometimes doesn't sleep for days.

8. She was quickly adopted into the Barton family. When Clint rescued her and brought her home all beat up, Laura was actually the one who took care of her wounds as far as Natasha would allow it. Even though Laura took care of her, she was wary of her, especially around her kids- this soon settled and Laura became like a big sister for Natasha who now turns to her for any kind of advise.
(Justice for Laura, she isn't talked about enough!!)

9. Sometimes she still sleeps with handcuffs on.

10. Natasha gets overwhelmed by big crowds and loud noises so Maria gifted Nat noise-cancelling headphones for her birthday.

11. Even after all these years out of the Red Room she still has phrases "programmed" into her brain. Some of those are the 'standard' "I am made of marble and marble doesn't break" or stuff like "Hesitation is weakness. Weakness gets you killed". Sometimes it scares everyone around her when she unconsciously drops one of those quotes.

12. She has anxiety around everything medical related. This is rooted in her trauma with the Red Room doctors who where just a bunch of bastards xx  

13. She's an obsessive James Bond fan.

14. She struggles with self worth and eating because on one hand all of the guilt she has and on the other hand she was always told to loose weight and to "stay in form" by the madams. She also internalised said guilt into absolute self-hatred.

15. She still dances ballet sometimes.  

16. She's messy. She was never taught to clean up after herself because, except for blood, there wasn't even anything she could clean up and it was not "necessary" for her training. So now, if she's alone in Maria's and her apartment, there's always a mess- in the kitchen, in the living room, in the bedroom, even in the bathroom. Sometimes it makes Maria go feral but honestly she can't really blame Natasha.

17. She has the photo strip of her and Yelena hidden in a book on top of a shelf, scared that she might lose the only thing from her childhood she ever owned.

18. She overfeeds Liho because she's just "so cute" and "her big doe eyes- I couldn't resist, Masha".

19. She's jealous and possessive. She's a master at hiding it but those who know her well, know the signs.

20. Okay so this is more of an opinion lmao. But I feel like there are only two acceptable ships for Nat and even on of those I like I kinda don't- Idk guys. I think I'll just list them with my opinion because I like when other people do that lol

Brutasha- nope, no no no, big no. That shit was RUSHED and so out of place. I feel like a lot of Nat's character was just evolving around this relationship in AoU and it is so weird to watch idkkk. I don't even know what to say it's just awkward. THE BAR SCENE I'M SCREAMING

Romanrogers- don't hate me pls :)) I get where it's coming from (I think) but I see them as friends at best. Also I don't not like Steve Rogers, dear God. He's still in love with Peggy which in itself is alright (except that Peggy is in love with Dottie😔 #justicefordottieunderwood) but Nat just deserves better tbh.

WandaNat- talked about this, just no

WinterWidow- the only other acceptable ship for Nat in my opinion. But I feel like with all the abuse they cause each other it could get really toxic, really fast- so mixed feelings. Also I think Bucky matches better with Steve. Also it feels like a relationship between them in the MCU would be kinda weird because it's completely different in the comics and all.  

Tony and Nat- no. friends.

BlackHill- YES. best ship of all timessss. they're so cutie pie. #lesbians

Clint and Nat- NOPE. Bother-sister relationship or friends, I don't accept anything else with these two.  

PeggyNat- I feel like this might be okay but there are just better ships for the both of them.

anywaysss that all for now, would love to hear your opinions or headcanons or whatever:)
