Back in 1967, it was very taboo for two women to be seen in a relationship together, let alone one of whom was a mutant. That didn't stop Irina Romanoff and Viviana Maximoff from dating each other. The two of them were trying to defy all odds, but it didn't work. Both women met their demise on the same day, ending their own lives.
In 2017, Y/n Maximoff and her siblings, Wanda and Pietro Maximoff, were all starting their first year at NYU. The three of them, triplets, had lived at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters since they were four, being the youngest kids ever to attend the school. Being mutants, they learned how to control their powers. Deciding they wanted to venture into the real world, they enrolled in college. Y/n had always felt like something was missing. She couldn't figure it out, but she was going to figure out why.
At the same time, Natasha Romanoff was starting her third year at NYU. Her sister Yelena Romanoff was beginning her first year. Natasha was always someone who was looking for something. She was often perceived as stern and frequently appeared lost. She is the president of the college's ballet club. Her group of friends constantly pokes fun at her because she is always looking for something or someone.
She was the assassin who trusted no one. I was the broken girl no one could save.
Captured by the Avengers and imprisoned inside Stark's compound, I didn't expect to survive-let alone feel anything again but, then there was her Natasha Romanoff cold, lethal, impossible to read at first, she saw me as a threat a weapon a mistake.
But broken recognizes broken.
Haunted by past abuse, trauma, and secrets I never speak aloud, I try to disappear behind silence and scars. Until Natasha begins to see through me, until Wanda Maximoff becomes the best friend I never thought I'd have. Until I stop running from the pain and start fighting for something more.
This is not a fairytale. It's slow, it's messy, it's painful.
But maybe-just maybe-it's love.
