I was so sure I've been following you for ages now but apparently not. I love your mobile header to bits, by the way. Iron Bull is a gift.

Oh, hi! Thanks! I’ve no idea why you chose to follow me. This blog’s boring as hell. Glad to have you here, tho. Ooh, you actually like my dumb mobile theme? Never thought that anyone would like that (let’s say a couple months back, I had a whole thing going on with Bull’s romance and I never recovered from it, lol). I agree with you, Bull is the coolest! ❤️

Who's the more affectionate one? Maria or Nat?

I have to admit that I stared at this ask for an ungodly amount of time because honestly it could go either way. But, here’s my thoughts.

I think it depends on how you define affectionate, because I feel like Nat and Maria are both equally affectionate but show it in very different ways.

Personally, I love the hc that Maria is somewhat chivalrous and loves to do stuff for Nat. Obviously Nat’s no damsel in distress, but I think that Maria struggles with telling Nat how she feels, so she relys on her actions.

At the beginning of their relationship, I feel like Nat was pretty closed off and really hesitant bc she’d never really been in a serious relationship before, but as time went on, I think she became a lot more comfortable.

For Nat, After being in a relationship for a while, I will live and die by the hc that she is super cheesy and hopelessly romantic. You know, always buying Maria stuff, taking Maria out to dinner (even if it’s just fast food, Nat will find a way to make it romantic), celebrating various holidays with Maria, etc.

So I guess in the traditional sense of affection, I’d say Natasha but their both so in love that it’s kind of hard to tell

Something

A holiday gift for @pumpkinnubbin, featuring Natasha, Maria, and Liho.

_________________________________________________

It's Christmas Eve. It doesn't feel like it, but it is. She's been in a windowless cell for a week and a half and now the little twinkly lights are rather dazzling to her eyes. Charming, even. Less than two weeks in there and you're getting whimsical. She hopes Hill fed the cat like she promised. Natasha delivered on her half of the bargain- she has the name that SHIELD needs.

A girl runs past her to the tiny corner playground, giggling as her scarf flutters in her wake; snowflakes stick in her hair. Natasha pauses as she watches the child go, a sense of something washing over her that she doesn’t care to examine too closely. This girl is free and laughing. Safe.

Natasha has the name now. The world will be a little safer. It’s something.

She lets herself into her apartment and Liho meows loudly.

“Still here.” Natasha smiles thinly, stooping to pick the cat up. “God, how much did Hill feed you?” She grimaces.

“Basically what you told me to.” Maria emerges from the kitchen, caught in the act.

“Basically?”

“There may have been treats.” She shakes a small bag that Natasha definitely didn’t buy.

Natasha scratches Liho’s head and the cat purrs, casting a soothing spell through her weary frame. She remembers how reluctant she was to let the stray in. How things change. “Well the great spoiling is over.” Appearances to keep, though. I missed you, cat.

“You got it.”

“I did.”

“You couldn’t have finished one day faster? I lost ten bucks in the office pool.” Hill smirks and Natasha rolls her eyes.

“Maybe I wanted to make a dramatic holiday return.”

“Yeah? Did Santa drop you off?”

“I would have introduced you but he’s a busy man.” Natasha winks and goes to the fridge.

“Good to have you back, Nat.” She means it.

“Just in time to make sure I don’t have to wheel this lug around on a skateboard or something.” She sinks into a kitchen chair and settles said lug on her lap.

Hill snorts and starts to make tea, growing more serious. “Fury’s sending a strike team tonight.”

Natasha nods and takes the mug Hill offers. “A holiday gift to the world.” She says wryly.

It’s something. She tells herself. Wonders if one day something will every feel like enough.
