Are you okay, sweetheart? | N.R

Summary: Your first time.

Pairing: Natasha Romanoff x fem!reader

Warnings: praise, fingering (r!receiving), oral (r!receiving), brief nipple play (let me know if I should add any)

A/N: this is so short, I'm sorry ☹️ and sorry for the shitty summary JQKDJAJ

Nat takes a deep breath, her eyes never leaving yours as she begins to explore the delicate curves of your body with gentle touches and soft kisses. She traces the outline of your breasts with her fingertips, teasing the sensitive nipples before moving lower to taste them with her tongue. As she works her way down further, she pauses briefly at your navel before continuing on to the damp curls between your legs.

"You're so perfect," she murmurs softly, "and I can't wait to show you just how much I love and appreciate every inch of you."

She smiles, her eyes filled with pride and affection as she watches your reactions. She leans in close, her breath hot against your ear as she whispers.

"You're doing so well, sweetheart. Just relax and let yourself enjoy this moment."

Her fingers continue to tease and stroke your most sensitive areas, building anticipation until finally she slips one finger inside of you with a gentle pressure. "Tell me if you need me to slow down or stop at any point," she adds softly.

You squeezed your eyes shut trying to get used to the new sensation of Nat's finger inside you. After a while, the redhead moved her finger slowly looking at your face searching for any sign of discomfort. When she found none, she slowly went down on your body attaching her lips around your clit.

"Oh, Nat!" You moaned loudly bringing your hands to her head. The widow smiled as she brought a second finger to your entrance, slipping it gently. The delicious stretch of her fingers made your hips rise slightly. Sensing that you were seeking more friction, Nat's fingers quickened their movements. With each passing second you felt like you were getting closer to the edge.

"Nat- Natty, I feel weird..." Feeling the strange sensation in your lower abdomen, you began to try to remove Nat's mouth from your folds.

"It's okay, baby. Let go for me." After a few more thrusts and another gentle suck on your clit, you came in Natasha's mouth and fingers. Her fingers slowed down but she never stopped lapping at your folds. You felt you were on the edge again.

"Natasha!" You came again arching your back and moaning your girlfriend's name loudly. This time she did stop stimulating you and began to leave small kisses all over your thighs.

"Are you okay, love?" She asked bringing her hands to your waist gently caressing it. You hid your face with your hands and let out a muffled 'yes'.

"Good, because we're just getting started."

[ask-no151]

It seems Lucifer pulled Nat from @asktheisle for the Star Sending Event! Nat seems glad for the company and the sentiment, though how he managed to get two gifts is anyone's guess. Apparently it wasn't too difficult? Transform's a useful move.

Nat was given a book on constellations ("Atlas of the Stars")! It's a decent read that both gives a good rundown on astronomy, as well as illustrations of the constellations and a general guide on how to find them at night.

In the smaller gift box is a Reshiram-themed pendant! Apparently dragon-type themed accessories and apparel are pretty popular right now. Something about Mystery Dungeons and Dragons...

Little mod note below:

Heyo! First let me say that i REALLY dig your blog, and watching the current arc (mega stone at the time of drafting this post) has been a blast (the emotional tension... the payoff that solidifies the trust that's been built and their potential to grow even further... chef's kiss). You've got really cool ideas and you seem like a real chill person.

I also hope you like this! I really like Nat's vibes and was glad to get an opportunity to draw them 👀 Wishing you happy holidays and a great new year! o/))

Down the line Oscar essentially retires from his role as a guardian to the next generation, Luxu would've taken the role but it was agreed on by Nat and Oscar that these traditions wouldn't be strongly held-anyone could do what they wanted. Luxu's busy doing other important things on the island anyway

So when Nat's kids start going on their own journeys, he gets the help of other mons he met along in his life to keep an eye on them. While Nat gets to teach a few semesters in Paldea, Lando (armarouge) is given the honors to tend to Mateo, the youngest of the kids

Lando didn't sign up to watch over both Mateo and Atlas-a sort of family-friend-not-cousin-kind-of that also goes to the academy and just a month or so older than Mat'

With both the kids having vastly different reactions to being overstimulated, poor Lando has his hands full

[grapecaseschoices]

hullo!! 20-25 for all your twc ships, for the otp asks!! 👀

Ty for the asks!

[Kat = Kai/Nat, Valdam = Val/Adam, Kate = Kendis/Nate, Keva = Kendis/Ava]

20) Choose one song that perfectly describes their relationship.

Hehe, I have playlists for most of them. Except Kendis x Ava [and Tareq x Ava]. I don't know about PERFECTLY describes but these songs come to mind almost immediately when I think of them.

Pierre x Felix: Dandelions [slowed + reverb] by Ruth B, slater

Kat: The More I See You by Nat King Cole

Valdam: Counting Paths by Matthew and the Atlas

Andy x Mason: I Ain't Never Loved No One by Donovan Woods and Tenille Townes & I Walk The Line [cover] by Halsey

Kate: Without You by Ursine Vulpine, Annaca & Waste It On Me by BTS, Steve Aoki, Slushii

21) Who would get into a fight to defend the other's honor? Who tends to the other's wounds?

Fighter: Ava. Nate. Val. Pierre. Mason. Nat.

Tender: Kendis. Kendis, lmao. Adam. Felix. Andy. Kai.

It isn't that Kendis wouldn't fight for them -- but Kendis is more of a smack talker for "honor" fights. If Kendis is fighting fighting that fight for honor is usually someone's life is in danger. Andy is similar -- though he'd step up if Mason was like betrayed or tricked. Felix would try to fight for Pierre's honor, but Pierre would stop him.

22) What reminds each of their partner?

Pierre x Felix: This is cheesy but light, Pierre associates Felix with light -- specifically light peaking through a shadow makes him think of Felix. Not ALWAYS but when his made wanders? And he catches that? Yeah. Also rainbows. Especially those cute rainbows drawn on concrete. For Felix it is old books and museums are no longer Nat, lmao. Stray cats. And he will find himself thinking of a joke he knows will make Pierre that slight smile and soft chuckle [he will be right].

Valdam: Val says broken pottery. But Val, I don't think looks at something and is like oh, that is Adam. But more it is moments like: Adam would get what I mean here. I wouldn't have to waste time on crap with Adam. For Adam, it is leather jackets qweer4re s lmao. Imagine Adam getting war flashbacks over the word 'greaser'. Also certain scents have become SO Val.

Keva: Ava associates post-its with Kendis. Kendis has introduced highlighters and colorful post-its to her life, Ms. Paper Can't Be Hacked. For Kendis, cargo pants -- mostly because Ava has allowed them to make use of the pockets. I think it is that 'Ava is so dependable', but it is easier t say the pockets.

Andy x Mason: IDK. Is it a cop out to say quiet? I need to ponder. I also think each other's 'vices'. Mason sees alcohol on the rocks and thats Andy

Kat: Everything. IDK, my dude. Kai and Nat balance each other so well, it arguably be like 'oh, if they were here tehy would handle this taht way' ... though I feel Nat would think it more. I think Nat is slowly starting to look at tech with less disdain, tho, bc of Kai. And Kai is more likely to consider trinkets and such, bc he knows Nat would like it ---he's not a big sentimentality dude [outside getting his fave coffee and pastry,lol].

Kate: Kendis has introduced post its into Nate's life too. I think music and the kitchen have become Kendis. Kendis definitely introduced Nate to more modern music, also she hums when she bakes. And Nate loves watching Kendis cook or bake. LOOOOVES it. The leather of Nate's jacket pings for Kendis --- and steadiness.

23) Who's more likely to convince the other to stay in bed come morning?

Convincer: Kendis [though it is barely, lmao; as Kendis is probably up and ready to go --Ava is trying to convince her to get more sleep]. Nate. Val. Nat. Felix. Mason.

Trying to leave: Ava. Kendis. Adam. Kai [though I fee he has surprising moments]. Pierre. Andy [tho, I feel twc!Andy has ... moments].

24) Who's more likely to give the other a massage?

I feel Kat and Pierre x Felix would be the only ones down for this, mutually. Nat for Kai and Pierre for Felix.

Kendis is very particular about touching -- I wouldn't say she is touch adverse [at least not in twc verse, at least not strictly speaking] and certain touches makes them feel closed in and/or clausterphobic. I feel Nate would cue in and would never ask. Ava would never ask either, but I feel it started out as a teasing thing about Ava's tenseness and then became a thing Kendis did sometimes for her.

Val is too awkward for this for this shit -- Val is intimacy adverse, lmao. No ... but it would make them jump out their skin if Adam tried and if they tried it on Adam and it went wrong, they'd just skitter up the wall like a frightened spider.

Andy would fucking never -- though I feel for twc!Andy the thought might occur, so he might do something ... like if Mason got a charlie horse maybe. And IDK if Mason would? Actually maybe ...

25) Do they have any hobbies they share?

Kat: Reading -> Learning.

Valdam: Cars.

Pierre x Felix: Does snuggling the cats in Pierre's building count? Making each other smile?

Andy x Mason: Smoking and Sex. Quiet. They're both fucking lurkers. No, for real.

Kate: Shopping. Cooking.

Keva: Being workaholics? I feel both would enjoy a quiet day organizing. Freaks.

Obligatory OTP Asks

[comradekatara]

which yellowjackets characters best correspond to the atla characters? or alternatively, wwtgd (what would the gaang do) if their plane crashed in the yellowjackets woods en route to nationals 💛

now THIS is what im talking about!! I already answered the second thing here but the first part is fun too

sokka has big coach ben energy. he doesn’t even know how good he has it, what with his both legs, and lack of misty. he may not have much else going for him, but at least there’s that.

taissa = azula = taissa = azula 👀

I think katara and mai both give nat for different (perhaps even opposite) reasons, but this is a compliment to both/all of them bc I love nat

yue is actually who lottie and laura lee both thought the other was lmfao

suki and akilah fulfill the same role in the narrative (kyoshi warriors are basically the girl scouts of avatar) (if akilah gets a meatier* arc in s2 watch this take age like milk!) (*no pun intended)

ty lee is like if jackie was actually That Bitch instead of just a useless popsicle (rip girl)

I’m gonna say toph is van just bc they’re both baby butches w goalie energy, but aang also has van energy tbh <33

I guess zuko would... also be nat.

no one in atla is quite as deranged as shauna or (especially) misty. there’s only one misty ❤️ and thank god for that!

Hi Beau! I watched the first episode of season 2 of S&L! Oh boy...... I don't like Candice at all. When she was in the truck with Clark and Jon I thought that was Lois. Then when Jon said he was glad he was dating her I was like 😬. I cringed and looked away when Lois found Jon and Candice. Holy crap that was terrible!

I'm thinking Sarah met someone at camp, and that's why she's so weird with Jordan. I'm still glad Jordan's being sweet, that's definitely refreshing. His date idea was so cute! Definitely reminded me of Zuko and Jin's date in ATLA.

I'm glad Lois decided to get to know Natalie and her and John are living in town. That was really cool. I also love Nat's hair! Any character who has their hair dyed is cool in my book.

Okay I don't trust Lt. Anderson at all! I'm so glad Clark turned him down.

This season is already such a rollercoaster.

I'm not gonna spoil anything but you know I agree about Candice. I hate everything about her, but I never really thought she looked too old for Jon tbh but now that you mentioned it I understand what you mean but I'd much rather them cast women in their 20s to play his love interests since he's also in his 20s. The fact that Sarah's actress was over 18 when Jordan's actor was 16 grossed me out.

Candice looks like every stereotypical mean popular girl in a high school tv show/movie all rolled into one and her bland as cardboard personality makes her even more annoying to watch. The fact that they had to dumb Jon's character down just to not dump her ass says a lot.

Jon really should have had a relationship (whether romantic or good friends) with Tag Harris instead or literally anyone else. What's with this show making Jon be stuck in toxic relationships and refusing to let him have friends??

In other news, can't wait for you to see the unhinged raccoon that is Jon-El. To me, he was the only thing that saved the season.

Day 47-52

My last two days to discover and adventure in Sequoia National Park were dashed on the rocks. I thought I would be sad to miss out on so much – and in some way I definitely was – but I was also tired, hurting, and sick. As I mentioned last post, I had a restful day reading, eating, and napping – something I rarely can do, and have to be desperate for. I did manage to do physical therapy at my site, which was nice being in the cool temperatures and surrounded by tall trees. I sewed on a felt stocking and listened to true crime podcasts like any solo female traveler would while in the woods on a dark mountain all alone. I did manage to draw a picture, as I promised my nephew I would mail him one:

On such a lazy day, it may be the right time to share with you a few things I’ve found that have made my traveling much easier. Number one would be these food grade produce and dish wipes.

Although I am a Master Educator in outdoor ethics and teach people how to properly wash their dishes in primitive places without damaging the land or wildlife, I tend not to have the energy it takes to do these things while on my own, so I have to find a way around it without breaking my own ethics – remember, ethics is what you do when no one is watching. I found these wipes and have been SO impressed by them I will give them my number one MII (Most Important Item) Award for camping. They clean extremely well, have minimal waste, and mean people are less tempted to leave food scraps near their site, restrooms, fire pit, etc. Though effective, they are also small, so they are easy to pack out of your camp and use anytime!

Next would be this great Chuckwagon that Husband got me shortly before I left. Instead of using a bin, this Chuckwagon keeps all my dishes, wipes, pots, pans, utensils, etc. in one easy to get to and carry place. And it’s colorful too! Definitely saved me energy and many, many trips walking from picnic table to car.

Inside the Chuckwagon is this little kettle that he surprised me with from H-Mart. This may seem like an odd thing to put on a list, but this little guy was great (other than when I melted part of the handle the first time I used it…whoops!). This meant I always had a designated place to boil water quickly, which while camping, is invaluable.

I also relied on Ensure (or similar) brand nutrition drinks. This is an easy way to get food energy when my appetite suffers due to medication side effects or dysautonomia. I found this specific Cinnabon flavor *actually* tasty.

I’m sure there are many other things I could recommend to you, but as to not bore most of my audience, always feel free to reach out to me if you are a beginner camper, need travel advice, park advice, or want to learn more about how to be a good steward while enjoying our natural world.

The next day, 48, it was time to pack up and head out. Some people made it weird by showing up to my campsite at 8:30am (check out isn’t until 11:00am) and literally walking around it, talking about where their families’ tents will go. They then parked in front of it, sat in their car, and watched and waited until I packed up and left. Although this was beyond awkward, and quite frankly, rude, I decided I wasn’t going to speed it up one bit. I wasn’t going to purposefully take longer, but as much as I wanted to scream and run for the hills, I decided not to. I could tell they were getting antsy since I had to finish breakfast, pack, and hook up the camper. As soon as my back tire was out of the site, they were already driving into it. This is really confusing to me, as only 2 other sites in our section of the campground (about 10 sites total) were COMPLETELY empty!

To break up the drive today, I stopped somewhere I saw on my Nat Geo adventure atlas that I hadn’t previously known existed; Cesar E Chavez National Memorial. I am so glad I did! The staff was so nice, and I learned SO much here. Largely recognized as the most influential and important Hispanic leader in the US, Chavez worked peacefully to unite migrant, minority farm workers to create the first agricultural union, fight for the rights, higher pay, sanitary conditions, and more, through peaceful protest, hunger fasts, eloquent speeches, and more. The grounds include his small town of La Paz, a fully functioning town and sanctuary for his people, his garden, gravesite, and memorials.

I earned what I see as a very special Junior Ranger badge here since I learned so much about someone so important, that wasn’t really taught in the schools where I grew up in Texas, even though our Mexican and farm worker population is quite high. This badge is dedicated to every single one of you that helped me raise my goal for the Ehlers-Danlos Society. We raised most of one of their research grants that will work to resolved patient suffering, disparities in diagnosis, and more. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. Your outpouring of support, emotionally, virtually, and financially, was deeply touching and still is today, at the tail end of this trip. This also goes out to all of you who have read this blog and traveled with me on this journey! I was surprised at the amount of people who have told me they have been reading and following along on the highs and lows of this journey. Thank you for taking the time to learn about my adventures, and this condition that has befallen me.

I was a little too excited about taking a bath tonight, but the water would have been warmer had I picked any pond off the side of the road to take a dip in. I had a fitful night of sleep, then back on the road for the long drive home. Still trapped in the 55 mile per hour cap on California highways, the days stretched on into eternity. I have now entered back into Dante’s 15th level of hell, where the temps have risen to over 100 again. At one point the transmission fluid got too hot and I had to pull over to let it cool. I sure am missing the Pacific Northwest already.

Stayed at Homolovi State Park in Arizona, and although my view was a nice barren field of grass, I got to watch wild burros soodling about. Got out at night to get ready for bed and a coyote was nearby and startled me. Then it just started yipping. When I looked into the field, I just saw its glowing eyes bounding through the field, looking at me.

Day 50 dragged on. I can feel I’m definitely on the anti-climax of this trip. I waited in the morning at the Homolovi visitor center. The ranger had stepped out and left a note they’d be back at 9:05am. At 9:30am she showed up and was SO grouchy and just about rude, I have to wonder what terrible morning had befallen her. She told me there was no Junior Ranger program when I asked. I remarked, “Oh, I saw you had one on your website,” to which she responded, “Well, we are out.” I looked around the museum and eventually she started digging under the desk and asked how old my kids were. I told her that it is actually for me. She looked at me in disbelief, quit rummaging around, and plopped down at her computer and typed very, very hard. A type I know well from working in a call center with lots of unhappy people. Well, sorry everyone, no Junior Ranger badge to earn here! It bums me out when a ranger thinks that people are too old to learn or have fun in the parks. I didn’t have opportunities to do things like this as a kid, so I do them now. As a ranger myself, my oldest Junior Ranger was 98 years old, and I was honored enough to give him his first badge and patch at Crater Lake. Please, don’t let grumpy rangers ruin your time; you are NEVER too old for learning or fun.

Here are all of the Junior Ranger badges I earned during this trip alone! It is but a fraction of how many I have since I started earning and learning in 2010. 

The best thing that happened the rest of today was a big ol’ banana split – a key to my heart. I stayed at Santa Rosa Lake in New Mexico again and got in too late to go swimming at Blue Hole down the road. I have been before but didn’t get to swim. I was a place people often mistook for Balmorhea State Park in Texas, a place I used to work and volunteer at for a long time. Right at 8am, a guy left his site and came to an empty one near mine to practice his violin. I actually quite enjoyed it, but I have to question the decision in general.

What an uneventful day, with zero banana splits, all the way to Abilene, Texas. Before I know it, it’s day 52, the very last day of my trip! I was so excited to get home. Having worked seasonally, away from home, pets, and Husband frequently, I am always excited to come home, but there is always a marked sadness that I’m leaving something I really enjoy, too. This time I think I was so tired I didn’t have that. I want to put on a long plush onsie and lay on the couch and hug my cat. Of course, the phone service went out leaving me with no maps, so have you heard about our lord and savior, Nat Geo Adventure Atlas?

As I pulled into my house, there were 4 white tail fawns with an adult doe lounging and eating. What a welcome home! I’ve also never been greeted so voraciously by a cat in my life. Husband greeted me with a pile of gifts he had collected for me, a “Let Fall begin NOW!” package of curated items that means, in fact, that fall is here even if it’s still 99 outside. What a great welcome back from these two perfect creatures I call home.

Here are all the patched I got during this trip; I also collect patches, which are more common to find places than Junior Ranger programs. I’m starting to run out of room to put my collection, the entire thing is getting big. 

I guess I can’t help but notice this trip ‘starts with a flood and ends with a trickle’, as the sweetest Regina Spektor has said. Thanks to modern medicine and physical therapy, I have done more on this trip than I thought I was able to do – more than I have been able to do in YEARS – but I still had to put the breaks on when I pushed it too far. I found out that difficult last alpine lake hike I did was just over 7 miles. That is nothing by old standards, but it’s gargantuan by todays.

I thought I would be really sad at my burn out at the end of the trip; missing out on my last finale hike in Mineral King, but oddly I’m at peace with it. I did what I had to do to take care of myself, and that’s alright. I go back to Texas to a litany of doctors’ appointments and procedures to continue to try to be the best me I can be, even if it’s not who I used to be. I truly hate the saying “it could always be worse” because it invalidates our very valid experiences, but I want my readers to know that this condition could be worse than I have it, and that’s one reason I wanted to raise awareness and funds. Some are wheelchair bound, others have feeding tubes or ostomy bags, permanent mobility aids, and more. And I know anyone of these things could be in my future. Even with a tad of an inside look on this blog, there is still a lot you don’t see; the constant medicine, the downtime, the pain, it doesn’t translate, but it’s heavy. That’s why I need to live life while I have it, and why you should too. No one ever things that chronic illness will happen to them, but it happens to all of us eventually, even if you’re lucky enough for it to be nothing more than old age. Don’t be afraid to adventure, especially if you are meek or a solo traveler, or a woman, or a minority, or disabled, or any one of the many things that puts up a roadblock to accessing adventure, travel, and happiness.

¡Si, Se Puede!
