about:
This is a sideblog, and I follow back from my main @grimmusings. Please direct IMs there, since it's easier for me to keep all my messages on one blog. It's also easier to start interactions with me there, where I regularly post open starters and meme prompts. For a full list of rules, see my main. Honesty hour questions will largely be answered IC and treated as anonymous unless signed by a muse.
All details vary based on verse, but in general I play Natasha based on an MCU timeline with 616 plots/connections added as needed. Specifically, I almost always include her history with Bucky in the Red Room, whether that relationship was romantic or platonic. I also re-write her Endgame death as either Tony/Bruce's snap brought her back, or Steve traded the soul stone to bring her back. If you prefer one of her faceclaims over the other, feel free to request!
wanted connections:
This is by no means a comprehensive list, and I can roll with most muses as far as basic interactions. I'm happy to ship Nat with other Marvel characters and OCs/fandom crossovers based on chemistry, but unless they're on my OTP list, they need plotting and interaction first. There is never any pressure to ship with me, even if they're on my list.
OTPs: Bucky Barnes (happy to write and rewrite every AU for them), Steve Rogers, Sam Wilson, Clint Barton, Tony/Natasha Stark Possible Ships: Thor Odinson, Bruce Banner, Maria Hill, Pepper Potts, Matt Murdock, probably most of the Avengers NOTPs: Peggy Carter, Sharon Carter, Howard Stark, Yelena Belova (they're not related by blood, but she still thinks of her as a sister), MCU Peter Parker (also more of a little sibling relationship) Family: YELENA PLEASE, I adore her. Always happy to write with Nat's canon (James, Mapone) or OC kids as well. Other: all Avengers, Gamora, Widows
default verses:
alt!postblip: A post-Endgame canon-divergent MCU verse where Thor's snap brings back Natasha, Tony lives, and Steve passes the shield on to Sam and stays in the current timeline.
mcu: A mashup MCU/616 verse that pulls Natasha's comics history in the Red Room, including her version of the super soldier serum and her connection with her former trainer, Bucky Barnes. It merges with the MCU timeline at the first Iron Man movie.
mom!verse: Any MCU/616 mashup AU where Natasha has canon or OC children.
multiverse!madness: Various comics universes collide, whether Marvel/DC/etc. have always existed on the same Earth, or other-dimension shenanigans are at work. Duplicate friendly!
verses by request only:
I'm happy to write these, but since they're more specific AUs, I don't default on them for asks/memes. Please feel free to request them.
college!verse: A modern/realistic AU where Natasha is a Criminal Justice/Forensic Sciences major. While this is a no-powers verse, she excels at reading people thanks to the abuse from her wealthy, crime connected father, and her primary goal is shielding her younger sister, Yelena, from the worst of him.
dark!winterverse: An MCU AU where Steve and Bucky both fall from the train and are captured and brainwashed as Winter Soldiers. They work together for decades until Steve starts to regain his memories, and he seeks out a Widow he once trained for help in freeing them.
super!mcu: A mash-up of the MCU and Supernatural and universes, where The Winchesters manage to stop the first apocalypse shortly before Thanos snaps away half the universe. Natasha discovers some of the freed Widows have been possessed by demons and joins the hunters.
