Can't wait for part 2!!

Hey. So how about big sis Natasha and little sis reader. (They live in an orphanage called the red room)

Jock Nat finds out that her nerd little sis is getting bullied by the cheer squad. Protective Nat isn't having any of it ..... even if she has to fight with her best friend, cheer cap Wanda ...... ?

Please and thank you 😊

Sweater Weather

Reader Description: She/her, nerdy, often wears an outer, freshman.

Pairings: Natasha Romanoff x Sister!Reader, Wanda Maximoff x Natasha Romanoff

Warnings: Bullying, mentions of suicide.

Summary: Wanda and Natasha are friends, maybe even more. People love a classic jock and cheerleader trope. However when Natasha finds out that Wanda's little groupie had been bullying her little sister, it puts a strain on their relationship. Will Wanda be able to redeem herself?

⧗ᗢ⧗ᗢ⧗

They always said high school was the best time of your life, at least that's what they said in movies or whatever the hell that guy said in that crappy TV show, 'Highs and lows of high school football'.

Y/n thought it was stupid. The show, and high school. It could be that it's true, that this was supposed to be the best time of her life. Yet perhaps that only applies to the popular kids and the jocks who wouldn't stop reminiscing about the 'good old times.'

The amount of alumni that would go back to her class and just talk to the teacher even though they only graduated like a few months ago was insane. And most of the time Y/n could tell they are one of those popular kids. Y/n could only hope her sister doesn't end up like that when she graduates.

Natasha Romanoff, star of Westview High. Captain of the softball team. And is probably dating the hot cheerleader captain, Wanda Maximoff. Natasha is proud, confident, she strides through the hallway like she owns the school. Contrast to her sisters who stray away from the spotlight, Yelena Belova and Y/n Romanoff.

Well... perhaps only Y/n. If Y/n would put them into high school stereotypes, Yelena would probably fall under the 'Cool' kids category. One where people know her and thought she's fun to be around with, she's funny, sarcastic. People knew Yelena, and Yelena knew people, but only sticks to her group of friends and not all that into popularity. Y/n thinks that's the best type of category to be in.

You fit in with everyone, and everyone just chills with you. Unfortunately for Y/n, she got the worst hierarchy in high school society.

The nerds.

Being a nerd isn't necessarily a bad thing... Well, that's what her sisters always tells her at least. But really it's hard to believe that when she gets cornered by two cheerleaders in the bathroom, how cliche.

"Hey girl!" Shannon, probably the bitchiest out of the whole cheerleading squad. "What are you doingg?" She asked with faux interest.

Y/n doesn't answer and merely kept her head down while she washes her hand.

"Don't be rude!" The other cheerleader bumped her hips while giggling to Shannon. "Oh. My. God. I LOVE your sweater, where'd you get it?"

Christ, they literally are a walking stereotype. Y/n knew they weren't interested in her sweater, this was just one of those teasing that these plastic bitches love to do. "It was my mother's..."

"And was your mom like... an old hag?" Well that was just too far, the only thing Y/n had from her birth mother was this sweater after she died in the house fire. Y/n stayed silent.

The two kept giggling while side eyeing her on the side, occasionally re-applying their make up in the mirror. Y/n quickly finishes up, not wanting to be around them any longer. She quickly left the bathroom but she heard the two giggling and talking about her behind her back.

This has been going on for months ever since she started high school. Honestly, Y/n should be used to it at this point. But that comment about her sweater crossed the line and she needed to leave quick before things escalated.

Y/n spent the rest of the day with her head down, minding her own business and eating lunch alone at the cafeteria. Normally she would sit with her friends, Shuri and Peter, the two other nerds, but they were attending some competition at the moment.

All the while, Natasha was sitting at a different table with her group of friends which was mostly made up of her teammates and the some of the Baseball boys.

"All I'm saying is if you don't ask her out, I will." Carol said with a mouthful of food.

"And I will kick you out of the team, Danvers." Natasha narrowed her eyes at Carol.

"Seriously, just ask her out. The tension is so thick I can practically punch through it."

Natasha merely rolled her eyes, but her gaze ended up locking onto a brunette who was sitting at another table. Green orbs met hers, and Wanda gave her the sweetest smile. Natasha couldn't help but to avert her gaze whilst trying to hide the grin creeping onto her face.

"Ugh, I'm going to barf." Clint said as he fake gagged. Natasha punched his shoulder lightly and he winced.

"Shut up before I show Laura that horrendous hair you had in 6th grade."

"Don't you fucking dare-"

The group fell into an easy conversation, talking about their plans after school. Showing each other funny videos they found while scrolling through social medias. Everything wasn’t out of the ordinary until suddenly they heard yelling from another table.

"Leave me alone!" The voice yelled, normally Natasha would ignore it but when the voice belonged to her little sister, her head snapped to the source.

The cafeteria was silence, some whispers could be heard. The cheerleader table fell into a hushed giggling, occasionally glancing at Y/n's table. Natasha narrowed her eyes slightly and returned her gaze to Y/n. She could see Shannon Carter sitting at the same table with her, wait are they friends or...??

"Was that Y/n?" She heard Clint's voice.

Y/n was quickly got up from her seat, feeling uncomfortable at the amount of eyes on her. She was in the verge of tears, but manages to hold it through until she was out of sight. Natasha quickly got up from her seat, which caught the attention of the rest of the group.

"Where are you going??" Carol asked.

"I'm just gonna check up on my sister." Her friends simply nod, knowing how protective Natasha is over her family.

Natasha made a note to slow her walk as she passed the cheerleader table, with her perceptive ear she manages to caught a few sentence. "She's probably so poor, that's why she has no other clothes to wear." She heard Shannon said. Fashion police much? Especially when she dresses like a basic bitch-

"Maybe it's vintage." She heard Wanda responded with a little bit of an attitude. Wanda notices Natasha passing by and greeted her, only for Natasha to glare and ignore her. She may like Wanda, but no one messes with her little sister.

She navigates her way through the hallway, trying to find Y/n. Damn it where is she?

Think, Natasha, think! Where would she go?

She trusted her instinct and it led her to the music room, surely enough, someone was playing the piano. Natasha peeked through the window and saw a glimpse of a familiar y/h/c hair, she opened the door and her sister was slightly alarmed, but ultimately let out a sigh of relief upon noticing it was only Natasha.

"Hey Nat."

Natasha gently smiled and took a seat beside her. Y/n's hand danced on the keys gracefully, filling the room with soft tunes.

"You wanna tell me what happened?"

Y/n shook her head, and Natasha didn't budged. Natasha simply let her head rest on Y/n's shoulder listening to her play. Y/n finishes and started to play another piece, one that was special to them. Natasha recognize the song as soon as Y/n played the intro. 'Love of my life' by Queen.

"Mom would be proud of you." Natasha said in a soft tone.

Y/n didn't answer, yet she had a soft smile on her face as she played the piano. Their mother used to play this song when they were younger. Natasha, Yelena, and Y/n would huddle around her and watched as their mother skillfully moved her fingers across the keys. They would fight over who could play the piano first, as they all wanted to be as skilled as their mother.

But ultimately, Y/n was the only one who inherited her talents. They didn’t talk and only enjoyed the soft tunes of from the piano for a little while, with Natasha occasionally humming to the lyrics.

When the song ended, the room was filled with silence. After a few moments, Y/n finally spoke up. “I don’t… Feel like going back today.”

Natasha nodded, she knew Y/n had meant the orphanage. They refused to call that dump a home. That orphanage shouldn’t even exist in the first place.

“You want to crash at Clint’s?”

“I’m not that close with him, beside, I kinda feel bad to his parents.”

“I’m sure it’ll be alright, you want me to ask him?”

Y/n nodded and let out the breath she was holding, one less thing to worry about. “I didn’t mean to make a scene, they just went too far today.”

Natasha’s eyes shifted in confusion, she lift up her head that was resting on her sister’s shoulder to face her. “What do you mean?”

“They kept teasing me about the sweater, cause I kept wearing it almost everyday.”

“Well they should mind their own business.” Natasha said with a slight venom in her voice.

“It’s ok, I’m used to it. It’s just because It’s mom’s y’know?”

Wait… “What? What do you mean by used to it??”

“I mean, it’s not a big deal-“

“No.” Natasha said firmly and turned to face Y/n fully. “No, it is a big deal. You’re telling me they’ve been bullying you?”

The younger Romanoff sighed, “You could call it that. But they never went as far as teasing, Nat. It’s fine.” Y/n knew how over protective her big sister could be.

In the Red Room, Natasha would not hesitate to punch someone if they messed with Y/n or Yelena. The other girls at the orphanage was afraid of Natasha because of it. As much as Y/n appreciates it, she didn’t exactly wanted to be known only as Natasha’s puny little sister.

Especially now that she’s in high school, where she could make a name for herself. Unfortunately high school stereotypes chooses you, not the other way around.

“Please just don't make a fuss about it.” Y/n said, hoping to change the subject but to no avail. Natasha was stubborn.

“It was Shannon Carter wasn’t it? I saw her sitting next to you before you left.” Oh well rest in peace Shannon. No point in trying to cover her fake ass now-

“If I say yes will you promise not to do anything?” Natasha gritted her teeth, she was about to protest but Y/n cut her off. “Nat, I'm being serious. I really, REALLY, just want to stay out of drama. Living in the orphanage is already hell, I don't need the teasing to go further because they know I'm your little sister."

Shannon better thank the gods because if not for Y/n, she would've need to book a plastic surgery appointment. Natasha reluctantly agreed to drop the subject. What matters now is cheering up Y/n.

An idea popped up in her head and Natasha playfully bumped their shoulders, "Hey, you wanna skip school?" She asked with a smirk.

Y/n furrowed her eyebrows, "Wouldn't we get in trouble?"

"Only if you get caught. Come on! I'm pretty sure Yelena's skipping too." It took a while to convince the younger Romanoff, but eventually they were out of the school's boundaries in no time. It was kind of embarrassing that her first time skipping school was with her big sisters, but nevertheless, Y/n thought it was fun.

And she wouldn't want it any other way.

Three days later, Natasha had been trying to avoid Wanda and her cheer squad. Because if she didn't, she would've probably punch Shannon Carter straight in the face. Unfortunately for her, fate wasn't exactly on her side.

While Natasha was opening her locker, Wanda approached her with that adorable smile. "Hey." Wanda greeted her shyly. It was strange really, the girl was different when she wasn't around her friends. Natasha found it rather adorable to see this other side of Wanda.

"Hi." Natasha responded with a kind smile, ok she may be a little upset at Wanda. But really, can you blame her? Wanda's extremely cute.

"Uh... I was just wondering if you wanted to go somewhere after practice, maybe get some food or whatever?" Wanda asked with hopeful eyes.

Natasha desperately wanted to say no. Mainly because she didn't want to associate with people who are friends with her sister's bully, unfortunately she is merely a teenager with raging hormones. "Yeah, sure."

Wanda then beamed in delight, "Ok! So uh, I'll see you then." They both then went to their respective class, both with a smile on their face.

Practice was hell that day, I mean fuck, she gets that competition was around the corner but today's drill was insane. At this point, Natasha thinks their coach is just trying to kill them. Thankfully they were done for the day and she's got a date with a hot cheer captain.

Natasha finishes up in the locker room with the other softball girls, they had to change rather quickly as they shared the locker room with the cheerleaders. Though they didn't mind sharing, it just gets a little crowded. Natasha felt a tap on her shoulder and turned around to be greeted by those beautiful green eyes.

"Hey! I won't take long. Meet you outside?" Wanda asked.

Natasha nods, "Sure, I'm just finishing up. Text me when you're done." She responded rather shyly, only Wanda Maximoff could make her all fuzzy feeling.

Wanda smiled at her and returned to her place with her friends. Natasha went back to packing up the last of her equipments. Pants, towel, glove, and- shit where's my shoes?

"Did you guys see Y/n today?" Natasha tensed the moment she heard Shannon's voice.

"About time she wash that sweater." Another cheerleader said.

"Honestly, I bet it smells so bad." Sharron giggles. "It's not like her taste got any better, all of her clothes looked worn down."

"Guys stop it." Wanda said, gaining attention from her friends. Oh ok good to know she wasn't- "It's called being indie." Fucking hell, Natasha clenched her jaw. Trying to hide her disappointment.

The girls giggled and another one spoke up, "Does her parents not love her enough to buy her new clothes."

"I heard her parents died."

"If I was her mother, I would've killed myself too-" Sharron was quickly slammed against the locker by none other than Natasha Romanoff. Causing all the girls to look at her in shock. "What the fu-"

Natasha couldn't contain her anger and gave her another rough shoved, she didn't care that Wanda was witnessing the whole confrontation. "Go on. What else do you have to say, Carter?"

Sharron was lost for words, she could barely utter a word. "I-"

"What more do you have to say about my sister?" Shit.

"S-Sister?" Sharron manages to ask.

"If you so much as glance at her I won't hesitate to permanently damage your face. Got it?" Sharron didn't need to be told twice. The venom in Natasha's voice scared her to her core. She nodded frantically. "Same goes for the rest of you." That was all that Natasha said before hastily taking her leave.

The audacity of these girls.

Natasha stomps her way out of the locker room. She was filled with too much anger and disappointment. One, they insulted her sister. Two, they brought up her parents as well. And three, the fact that Wanda was no better than them. Her friend, her best friend, one she had a crush on, and maybe even love. Was a down right bitc-

"Natasha wait!" Speak of the devil.

Natasha tried to ignore her and made her way out of the school through the field. Wanda manages to catch up to her and pulled her to a stop. Yet Natasha pulled her hand away just as quick, it tore Wanda's heart. "What the hell do you want?!"

"Natasha please, I- I didn't know Y/n was your sister-" Wanda tried to reason. That made her furious.

"And if she wasn't, would it make in any better to bully someone?" Natasha asked. "Just- Leave me alone. I don't want to associate myself with someone like you." Natasha spat.

Wanda knew she was wrong, there's no denying that. But she didn't want to lose Natasha, her best friend. "Tasha, wait please just listen!"

"I have nothing more to say." Natasha started walking away again towards the parking lot, and she made it clear nothing Wanda had to say would make her listen. So, Wanda ran to stand in front of her to stop her track. Guilt smeared across her face.

"Look, I'm sorry. I really am!" She pleaded.

"I'm not the one you owe an apology too."

"I will, I promise. I just- I don't want to lose our friendship..."

Neither did Natasha. She genuinely liked Wanda, their friendship, and... well, Wanda. But nobody messes with her family. "You did that when you bullied my sister."

Wanda tried to defend herself, because yes she maybe have joined the conversation with her friends just to stay on topic, but she never actually teased Y/n. She never outright bullied her, or corner her in the bathroom. All she did was chime in here and there when their friends talked shit about other people. It doesn't make it any better, In any way It was pathetic.

But can you really blame her? She was merely a teenager trying to fit in.

Before Wanda could even explain herself, Natasha held up her hand to stop her. "Safe it. I don't ever want to speak to you."

"No... No, please. Natasha just listen-" Wanda was cut off by a honk of a car. They glanced to see Clint in a car with the window's down.

"Come on, lovebirds! I'm your chauffeur for the night." He clearly missed out on a few episodes.

Natasha quickly approached the car and got into the passenger seat. "Just drive, Clint. Date's canceled."

One of the things Natasha appreciates from Clint is that he understood her better than anyone. And seeing Natasha's distressed face, he drove out of the parking lot without another word. He gave Wanda a quick look of apology before rolling up his window.

Wanda watched as Clint's car drove out of the school boundaries. She felt sick to her stomach, tears pooling in her eyes. Wanda's heart broke into a million pieces. Not only did Natasha hated her, but she also ruined their friendship.

What can she do to restore it?

Hellooo, sorry this took a whilee. I've had many projects to do it makes my brain dead to write anything. Anyway I hope you enjoy this one! I'm planning to make a part 2, hopefully their relationship is not doomed😩

Zuko is the last person Sokka expects to end up as his roommate when he starts college. Sokka is the last person Zuko expects to befriend when he starts his whole life over. And no one who knows a thing about their shared past expects them to end up together.

Except, maybe, Toph.

(the fic is "priestly's pesto" by amazinmango - it's an AU where dean left john&sam at age 19, and goes by his mom's maiden name priestly) - 🧩-anon, in her feels

Song reccc for ✨Thomastair✨

And now for the analysis😌 bear with me

You're the last crack on the pavement

You're the water running cold

Into the wild, washed up and wasted

You're staying up

You're staying up at night

Dunno how to explain but definitely Alastair

You're the flower in the concrete

Find your way into the light

I wanna show you what you can't see

You're keeping me up

Keeping me up at night

He's Tom obviously he stays up at night thinking about him. It's Alastair we're talking about you can see how bad I am at analysing

So let me give you every color that I find

In your eyes

You wake me up

And it breaks my heart

That you're perfectly imperfect

Tis obviously Alastair we're talking about c'mon

You're hurting but you're worth it

*dies* this is all Alastair's ever wanted to hear

You don't know why

I would waste my time

But I'm falling and I mean it

I want you like I need it

There's nothing you could try to change my mind

well remember when Alastair was all "Hate me on your own behalf" and our darling Tom was "sorry baby but no♥️"

'Cause I'm in love with you

Tom you're whipped

You live like you're a secret

I don't have the vocabulary to explain why this line is so Alastair

One that only I could know

'Cause I said

You know what I want and

I know who you are

I know when I hold you and love you

You'll get up and go before you fall apart

THIS THIS THIS ALASTAIR DID EXACTLY THIS. HE LEFT BEFORE HE THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO BREAK COZ HIS FRIENDS WOULD REJECT HIM AND HE DIDNT WANT TOM TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THEM

I'll bring you every colour that I find

In your eyes

You wake me up

And it breaks my heart

That you're perfectly imperfect

You're hurting but you're worth it

You don't know why

I would waste my time

Find me waiting at your door

So tell me if you're lonely and it won't last long

'Cause I'm in love with you (you)

Hahshahdhajsjahsgahagsg. I can just hear Tom saying this. Not in canon obviously because Cassie doesn't like us

You wake me up

And it breaks my heart

That you're perfectly imperfect

You wake me up

[loxxxlay]

Hiiii, came for the thorki, noticed the kurofai owo. Haven't seen that name in a long time. Can I ask for some recs of that(or anything tsubasa)? c:

HEYYY sorry this took like an entire week longer than i was planning on. i have no excuse lol but anyway without further ado HERE ARE A COUPLE OF MY FAVORItE KUROFAI FICS OF ALL tIME!!! because i fucking love this ship

(before starting, i want to note that my letter “t” key is still broken, and i have to copy paste it every time…. so i will not be capitalizing any letter “t” in this, even if it’s a fic title. i’m sorry to the authors :( it’s either lowercase t’s or no recs, and i really wanna reccc okay t_t)

the Wizard of Ceres by Mikkeneko

(cw for vivisection, also on a human, and suicidal ideation)

if you haven’t read this, i am so fucking excited for you because it is probably one of my favorite pieces of fiction ever, let alone fanfiction, let alone in the tsubasa fandom. the world building (fantasy! kinda in-universe Nihon-ish) is phenomenal and works really well with these characters. sometimes i forget that this wasn’t an alternate CANON universe. there’s lots of angst. i cry like a fucking banshee when i read this, and it hurts in that Really Good Cathartic Way where u can enjoy the suffering :) 999/10 recommend

the sequel was good too - it focused more on Syaoran and Sakura, which is less my cup of tea, but still overall had a shit ton of good Kurogane and Fai moments and… idk guys, the plot structure of these two stories was just really good and worth, like wow. professional level. (y’all know this if you read this author’s thorloki fics too XD)

(Also to NON-tSUBASA-FANDOMERS, this is a fic that stands alone. you don’t need to have read the source material. it’s a good story okay. i recommend it like i would recommend a book *_*)

All that I Am by Roxie Archer

(cw trafficking/prostitution & suicidal ideation) 

this fic is a classic. it can only be found on fanfiction.net as far as i know. i go back and read it every 3 years, it’s fucking brutally heartbreaking and cathartic. basically kurogane and fai go on a road trip–fai, a prostitute, wanting to travel far away, and kurogane, fulfilling his deceased mother’s last request. they do NOt get along at all at first. literally an “enemies” to friends kinda fic. the ending… again… focuses on more syaoran and sakura stuff. BUt there’s a fai moment that is so fucking worth it. so much so that i still recommend following through if ur not into the lil characters as much

there’s a lot of suicidal theme and mention of noncon in this fic, and the author actually did a hella lot of research on sex trafficking (especially for the time period this was written). i thought it was super respectful, while also being super respectful. probably my gateway fic into other fics dealing with trafficking, and i don’t think i ever found another one like it in this fandom

(interesting tidbit: i have a friend in RL who also had a kurofai obsession, and before we met each other, we had both read this fic and fucking loved the shit out of it soooo if u don’t take my word for it, take hers lol)

the Stars We Live By by @invisible-as-i-run

(cw for suicidal ideation)

this was a fic that i found fairly recently. it’s a scifi au, in which syaoran and sakura are cute little droids and fai is their owner who programs them into their own sentience with their own personalities - even though it’s against the law. Kurogane, meanwhile, is someone whose parents were murdered in a very old droid uprising. hence…. lots of angsty angsy drama omg.

I fucking loved this fic. there were moments where I could just feel Fai’s self-loathing as if it were my own. And even though Fai hides the truth about the droids from kurogane for a long time, there was never a moment where I actually thought it would work out if Fai told Kurogane the truth. the conflict between them was believable and so so so fucking intense. I spent many a chapters crying and panicking and just overall loving it like the demented angst-love i am. Fully recommend this. It has been added to my All-time-Favorites collection gahhhh.

(Also I recommend pretty much every kurofai fic by this author! they are all damn good *_*)

Otherwise, I cant think of many more because these fandom days are far behind me... D: I will recommend my bookmarks though, which include a few of the entries for the 2017 (? or 2018) KuroFai Summer Olympics, so that might be of interest to you!

Hope you enjoy and thank you so much for this ask!! I love being able to recommend these glorious fics a;lkdshglskhg

ZUKKA FIC RECCC

I'll Come Back Someday (For You)

“We’ll be together someday. I won’t stop looking until I find you again.”

Those words, Sokka thought, were a blessing.

After living through several lives without Zuko, they now feel like a curse.

They were the last words Sokka muttered to the Fire Lord on his death bed after saving Avatar Korra from an attempted kidnapping, and while he meant them, he didn't know that they would come true.

Yet, he tried, tried, tried again, and after cycling into his fourth life, he's starting to give up hope.

All until he walks into the Jasmine Dragon right next to Republic City University's campus.

Different Kind of Love Masterlist

"Mommy do you have to go back to work?" Dylan pouted as you placed a bowl of cereal in front of him, giving his dark curls a little ruffle. "I do sweetheart, I have to make money so we can go to the zoo over next weekend" you replied, "the zoo?! Where all the big animals are?" His pout turned into a wide smile, "that's right baby, we're going to see lions and bears and elephants" you smiled as you sat beside him at the small round table in the middle of your kitchen with a coffee. "Even monkeys?!" Dylan asked, his mind racing with excitement, "even monkeys little man" you sipped your coffee. "Kate will be here shortly so eat up honey, she's taking you to the park today" you added. 

Dylan didn't need to be told twice before he dug his spoon right into his honey cheerios, milk dripping from his chin. With Dylan not in pre-school yet it was important to have him interacting with other children so most days, Kate would take him down to the park that was only a few blocks from your apartment. There were some regular children that would spend the morning at the park and Dylan was always excited to go play with them and telling you all about it when you got home from work. Once Kate arrived, it was a quick hug and kiss to Dylan and you were out the door already waiting for the moment you could tuck Dylan in for the night. 

"Oh good, you're here" Natasha greeted you as she rushed from the copying room back to her office. "Good morning" you smiled, "I need you in my office in 5 minutes" she replied with her eyes glued to the documents in her hand, "and for gods sake David, I need those reports on my desk before midday!" Natasha snapped as David stood from his desk, "don't look at me like I'm fucking stupid! Midday!" She added before slamming the door of her office shut. You weren't sure what was going on or why Natasha was already so worked up before 10am. 

"Is everything okay Miss Romanova?" You kindly asked as you entered the office, closing the door carefully behind you. "I need to leave town for a few days, it's sudden but turns out you can't get a man to do fucking anything right!" She replied, "I need you to sit in on the Maximoff case. Husband wants custody, Wife wants an agreement, it's all in the file. Don't fuck it up! If the husband gets full custody, Wanda is going to go apeshit" Natasha looked up at you as you listened, slowly nodding as she went on. "Don't bother moving any of my meetings this week, you can sit in on them. Take notes, record them, I don't care. That stack of paper work needs to be signed, scanned and emailed. Make sure David has those fucking documents by midday, if he doesn't, fire him"

"Miss Romanova, I c-can't fire somebody" you kindly cut her off. "I pay him to do a job and he clearly isn't doing it" she raised a brow, "midday or he's fired. I have a plane to catch, I'm trusting you with all of this. Can you handle it?" She grabbed her emergency travel bag before looking deeply into your eyes. You weren't qualified for any of the legal work she asked of you, nor where you in any position to fire somebody. Even though you'd seen a kind side to the redhead, your palms still began to sweat as you nodded lightly, "Of course, Miss Romanova. When will you be back?" You asked. "When I'm back" Natasha replied leaving you in her office alone. 

Your heart skipped a beat when you looked over her calendar for the rest of the week, there was no way you'd be finished by 3:30pm to be home and spend a short amount of time with Dylan before it was bedtime. It left you with no choice but to text the sitter. 

~~~

You wondered where Natasha ran off too on these random trips, what was so important that she had to drop everything at the last minute, leaving you to clean up the mess. Your first meeting was with Miss Maximoff, a quick brief before court. You were more than nervous, you weren't a lawyer and didn't have the first clue on how to fight a case, especially one that involves children. The ringing sound on your phone made you jump slightly, "Hello, Y/n Moore speaking" you answered politely. "Miss Moore, there is a Ms Maximoff here to see Miss Romanova" the receptionist replied in her normal kind tone. "Thank you, I'll pop down in just a moment" you replied before hanging up the phone. 

The elevator doors slid open, and you were greeted with the warm smile of a red head with a brief case in one hand and a takeaway coffee in another. "Ms Maximoff how are you?" you asked with a smile, "Nerves but I have a lot of faith in Miss Romanova" the redhead replied as you led her to the nearest conference room. "Is she running late today?" Wanda asked, placing her brief case on the large table with her coffee next to it. 

"Miss Romanova has had to take a last-minute emergency and has asked me to step in for her today, if that's okay with you" you explained, pulling up a chair. 

"No no no, she's meant to be here. These are my kids we are fighting for!" 

"I understand that, I also have a great understanding of your case against your ex-husband W-"

"I need her here! I don't mean to be rude, but you look extremely young, do you even know what you're doing?" 

You knew you should be honest and tell Wanda that you hadn't the first clue on how to win a case, it wouldn't be fair on Wanda if her husband got full custody of the case simply because you didn't have the skill or knowledge. "I can assure you I will do everything I can to make sure you get custody of your children" you spoke with hope as you looked promisingly into her eyes. 

"When will Natasha be back?" Wanda asked, running her fingers through her hair. 

"At this stage I am unsure but I'm under the impression that she'll be back within the next few days" 

"Next few days?! Are you serious!? She promised me that this was her most important case right now and now you're telling me she's up and left and you have no idea when she's coming back? I cannot believe this!" She spat with frustration. "I understand your frustration. If you would rather wait until she is back I'll be happy to make sure that this case is the only she will do with her return" you offered, deep down hoping she'd take the offer and save you the embarrassment. 

Wanda sighed and shook her head. "Fine, but if this happens again I will be finding a new lawyer!"

As the rest of the week went on there was still no word of Natasha and the workload just kept piling up. Not only did you have Natasha duties to cover, but you also had your own to cover and also the entire office to keep steady and on top of things. Every afternoon Dylan was dropped off to the office with a backpack of toys and some snacks, you made a spot in your office for him to make himself comfortable as you did as much work as you could before it got too late. 

The weather only got colder with each day and with still no sign of Natasha, the overworking started to take its toll. The flu attacked you hard, a harsh cough, a running nose, a fever and aching body still couldn't stop you completely from doing your job. 2pm on Friday afternoon marking 2 weeks since Natasha left the office in your hands. Dylan was on his way with Kate shortly and your body was shutting down with the need for rest, much needed rest. The sofa in your office was calling your name as you caved and opted for an hour's shut eye before Dylan would arrive. 

"I see the off-"Natasha entered your office to find you fast asleep on the sofa with the trash can almost overflowing with used tissues, "standing" she finished her sentence with a whisper. She walked over to your desk and grabbed your coat from your chair and used it as a blanket to cover you before quietly leaving your office. 

"David" Natasha said, walking over to his desk, "Fill me in, was everything okay in my absence?" She asked. David nodded, "Yes Miss Romanova, Miss Moore was been working off her feet day in, day out since you left. She's been staying here til late. We all told her to go home but she insisted. Her kid has been getting dropped over here every afternoon" he explained.

 "What time do you know?" 

"Usually around 4pm. I know you don't like kids in the office but he's well behaved and stays in Y/n's office" David replied. Natasha looked up at the clock and noticed that Dylan would be here at any moment, she thanked David before making her way down to reception. 

"Nat!" Dylan smiled when his blue eyes made contact with Natasha, "Hey Dylan! How are you buddy?" Nat smiled softly before she noticed the baby sitter, Kate stood behind the young boy with his toy story themed backpack. "Hi I'm Kate Bishop, the sitter. I'm just here to drop Dylan off with Y/n, are they around?" Kate smiled softly as her free hand reached to shake Natasha's hand. 

"Miss Romanova" Natasha gave Kate her iconic nice to meet you smile, "I'll take Dyaln for you. Miss Moore is a bit busy at the moment" she adds. It didn't take Kate long to realise that Natasha was the boss of this place once she heard the last name. "How much does she owe you for today?" Natasha asked. 

"Oh, it's fine I can pick it up Monday when I see Y/n" Kate smiled once again before handing Natasha Dylan's backpack, "Well Dyl, be good for Miss Romanova and I'll see you Monday" she adds. "Bye Kate!" Dylan turns around and hugs his sitter who is more like a best friend to him than an adult who looks after him every day. 

"Is mommy going to be long? She promised we would draw together today" Dylan pouted while holding tightly onto Natasha's right hand as she took him back to her office. "Your mommy doesn't mean to be feeling well so I thought we could let her have a rest, can I draw with you?" She asked, looking down at the little boy. 

"Can you draw well like mommy? She's the best drawer!" 

"I don't know about well but I can draw a pretty cool monster" Nat smiled, closing her office door behind them both. 

"A big one?!"

"However big you want it" 

----

You woke up to the loud sounds of small giggles coming from the room next door. Rubbing the sleep from your eyes, the time read 8pm on your phone. "Dylan?!" you called nervously as you jumped up from the sofa. "Dyl!" you called again when there was no answer, the office was empty as you walked out of your office, the light in Natasha's office caught your attention. 

"Dylan, you're not sup-" you opened the door to see Natasha sitting on the floor with a box of pizza and Dylan using pepperoni as eyes. "You're back" you looked at her, your nose red from the consistent blowing. "Mommy!!" Dylan ran up to you as you scooped him up into your arms, "Hey honey" you kissed his cheek and brushed his curls out of his eyes. 

"He's been great, we've played, we've drawn things and I wasn't sure what he ate so I got pizza, I hope that's okay" Natasha slowly stood to her feet, "you were out like a log when I got back so I thought I'd let you rest" she added. "Dylan can you please wait for mommy in her office?" you placed him back on his feet, confusion filled his eyes as he nodded slowly and made his way to your office. 

"Thank you for watching him, I appreciate it but I can't be picking up after you like that again" you looked at Natasha. "You're mad" she sighed. "I'm annoyed, yes. I have a son, Natasha. I need to be home for him! He is my world, not this job. The next time you have to take off at random, don't bother asking me to take over. You can fire me, I don't care anymore" you huffed. 

"I'm sorry, I honestly thought I wouldn't be more than two days. You did a great job, I can see that. I went over your notes while Dylan was playing this toys, you have the skill to do this" 

"I don't want it! Being here till 10pm with my son every night? No. You promised me better…I'm not trying to sound selfish, but I have to put Dylan first and I need you to respect that"

Natasha nodded with regret seeing how upset and run down you were, "I'll get my driver to take you both home" 

"We'll get an uber, thanks"

----

"Do you always keep at 5-year-old out past bedtime?" the deep voice made you look up from Dylan's drawing as you both walked the wall of the apartment complex to your apartment. Your heart raced when your eyes connected with his. "Who is that mommy?" Dylan looked up at you with worry, "No-nobody honey" You squeezed his hand tightly, not enough to hurt him. 

"Kane, what are you doing here? How did you find us?" you asked the dark-haired man as he leaned against your apartment door, "I think it's obvious why I'm here, isn't it?" He pushed himself off your door and took a few steps closer to you and Dylan, "I'm here to see my son" 

The words leaving his lips made your heart race faster, your jaw clench and your palms sweat. "He's not your son, Kane" you replied, Kane smirked and shook his head, "you think I can't see the similarities between us? He has my eyes, must hurt looking at him and missing me" he kneeled, "hey there kid, why don't you give daddy a hug?" He spoke to Dylan who shuffled himself behind you, still holding your hand. "Don't talk to him!" You stepped back. 

"Oh, come on, Y/n. Don't be like that, I'm not going to hurt him. I just want to connect with my son"

"Mommy, I'm scared" Dylan started to cry from behind you. 

"Kane, you need to leave! Now. He's not your son, he never will be" you spat. "Mommy!" Dylan sobbed, you turned around and picked him up, holding him tightly against your body. "It's okay baby" you coo'd, pushing by Kane to unlock your door. "Don't worry buddy, daddy will be back, with a lawyer" Jason said before walking away. 

You quickly locked the door behind you, keeping Dylan in your arms as he sobbed in fear. "Shhh, it's okay honey, he's gone" you rubbed his back gently, "how about we watch some cartoons in mommy's bed tonight?"
