Aunt!Yelena x niece!reader headcanons
masterlist
a/n: here’s the second one !! writing auntie Yelena has to be one of my favourite things ever :))
You do not have my permission to repost, copy or translate my work
 |——————————— ⴵ ———————————|
Auntie Yelena who was more than ecstatic to meet you when she first heard about you. She was totally overjoyed when she found out that Natasha was adopting a baby girl
Auntie Yelena who spoiled you with gifts ever since you were a baby. Natasha had once tried telling her to stop because her house simply couldn’t take much more stuff, but after she saw the joy it brought Yelena she had given up trying to stop her
Auntie Yelena who always stole you out of Natasha’s arms when she came over. She always wanted to hold you. After Natasha would put you down for a nap Yelena would sneak into your room and hold you while you slept. Natasha caught her once but decided not to say anything. She adored watching her sister love her daughter so much
Auntie Yelena who took you with her when she went to adopt a dog at the shelter. She valued your opinion more than anyone else's
Auntie Yelena who, when she came over, always brought you a gift from whatever place she had been to then. She was always travelling, and her favourite thing was bringing something with her for you
Auntie Yelena who ‘accidentally’ taught you multiple curse words, enjoying Natasha’s face when you blurted one out. Obviously you didn’t know what they meant. All you knew was that your auntie Yelena would laugh when you said ‘fuck,’ and you took great pride in being able to make your auntie ‘Lena laugh
Auntie Yelena who, when you got older, would take you on little road trips around the city. She would simply show up in front of the house and demand Natasha to lend you to her for a couple of hours 
Auntie Yelena who made the best hot chocolates for you when you felt down, and who would make the best mac and cheese when you were sad
Auntie Yelena who didn’t hesitate to drop anything and everything when you called her while upset, and who would fly or drive to you in a heartbeat if you needed her
Auntie Yelena who loved that you loved her so much. Ever since you were a baby you always wanted to sit in her lap and play with her, and when you grew up you still wanted to hang out with her whenever you could
Auntie Yelena who scolded Alexei when he made fun of you once, claiming he was fat and mean and had no right insulting you with whatever he insulted you with 
Auntie Yelena who broke your trust only once, and that was when she called Natasha while you were being bullied in school. Natasha had comforted you while Yelena went on a little house visit and nearly made the poor girl piss herself from fear
Auntie Yelena who was the sweetest person you had ever met, yet made people fear her with a simple glare 
Auntie Yelena who, despite your age, took you to build a bear when you turned 16. She helped you pick out a soft, adorable bear and when you got to the dressing bit she had basically forced you to give it a small black widow outfit
Auntie Yelena who always supported whatever hobby you started, making sure you had plenty of supplies in stock. If you ran out of something she would know before you did, making sure you were restocked before you started another project and missed something
Auntie Yelena who, in the end, loved you more than she loved herself

Spare key
Tumblr media
Pairing: Yelena Belova x reader platonic
Summary: Reader gives Yelena a spare key to her apartment.
A/N: Hey everyone! This is my first Yelena headcanon. I hope you enjoy!
Masterlist
You heard a knock on the window and you immediately knew what that was or should I rather say who?
You turned around and saw your best friend Yelena climbing in through your window.
Yelena does this every time when she comes over.
The first time she did it you were watching TV when you suddenly heard a bang behind you.
You screamed and grabbed the remote control from beside you and were ready to hit the person with it.
"Stop the screaming it's just me."
"Oh my god Yelena you can't scare me like that!"
"Sorry." She said and then noticed the remote control in your hand.
"Were you about to hit me with that." Yelena pointed at it.
"It was the first thing I saw." When you said that  Yelena chuckled.
"Why did you even came through the window and not through the door like every other person?" You asked her
"Because I'm not like every other person." Yelena said in full confidence.
"Hey, you sill here y/n?" Yelena asked and brought you back to reality.
"Yeah. I'm glad you came over because I have something for you." You walked over to the table next to the door, took your spare key and walked back to Yelena.
When you stood in front of Yelena you said
"I want to give you a spare key so you don’t have to keep coming in through the window."
She looked at the key in your hand and then back to you.
"So you can come over every time you want. I mean yeah you do that now too. But it's different, you can.... maybe it was a stupid idea. I..."
"No it's not. Thank you, it really means a lot to me." Yelena interrupted you and made you smile.

Bishova is such a funny ship name imo, 'cause "fag" in portuguese is "bicha" so whenever I read "bishova" inside my head, it reminds me of "bichona" (aka "big fag" in portuguese) lmaooo
Anyways. Pls feel free to share some of your bishova headcanons (even though I don't even go here lol). I kinda see the ~vision~ from that one scene w/ them that I saw (yeah, I'm gay and weak, sue me)
I HATE the ship name soooo much lmao I was on the ground floor of the ship (Like, pre-hawkeye, using their interactions in the Thompson BW run for inspo) and I was gunning for it to be Katelena but I was 100% outvoted.
I'm gonna give you a couple SFW ones and then a couple NSFW ones because I WILL make you a Marvel girlie if it takes the rest of our tumblr lives
Yelena has some food issues (food insecurity/aversions, trouble acknowledging her fullness cues) and Kate is the one who helps her figure out how to treat those. One thing they do is that when they go out to eat, Kate boxes up half of Yelena's entree for her when it comes to the table so Yelena doesn't eat herself sick.
They're both neurodivergent-Yelena was an excellent assassin but in the MCU there's little to no suggestion that she ever did honeypot missions and I think it's because her social cues aren't great. Kate absolutely has hyperactive ADHD.
I think Yelena enjoys being read aloud to. She finds it soothing. Kate will read news articles and books and shit out loud to Yelena with Yelena's head in her lap.
They are both obviously dog people but Yelena is *obsessed* with Bucky's cat Alpine and will wander around with Alpine tucked in her hoodie. Alpine does not like Kate. Kate will MAKE Alpine like her if it's the last thing she does.
Antonia Dreykov is not much of a Kate fan at first. She finds Kate soft, loud, overly dramatic, and painfully naive. Then Yelena almost dies on Antonia's watch, and Kate steps up in a very serious, real way. That wins Antonia over to the Kate side.
NSFW
Yelena's the bottom. I love bottom Yelena. She's a spoiled, bratty sugar baby pillow princess and Kate is OBSESSED with the power trip it gives her to see Yelena like that.
Tbh I'm not into asexual Yelena and less and less inclined to even discuss it but I DO think Yelena has hangups and triggers around sex. The girls take the physical intimacy part of their relationship at a GLACIAL pace, and there are times where something Kate says or does ends in a meltdown or panic attack for Yelena. It makes Kate feel very guilty. Yelena makes jokes about it, which does not provide the levity that she THINKS they do.
Kate doesn't really like to wear pants much, especially in their room/their own apartment once Yelena is secure enough to live with just Kate (I think for a while Yelena lives with Bucky and thus Sam, and Kate ends up there too-Yelena gets anxious alone and needs to learn to person). Yelena regularly grabs her ass and squeezes before BOLTING to trick Kate into chasing her and throwing her on the bed.

Okay, yknow what? Yelena is a fucking dork. When she’s not busy assassinating people, she goes on long rants about which movie is the best in a series. She stays up all night tapping away on tumblr(like all of us right now) trying to find people who agree with her opinions, as well as making Google slides at 2:37 in the morning to show you when you wake up. She’s a total film nerd, but you love it.

dating yelena headcanons
Requested by @tinydeanhandsfarm
Tumblr media
i feel like nat would set you two up bc of how oblivious/nervous the two of you are
not before giving you a stern warning (threatening your life) to not hurt her little sister
yelena is a little shocked but relieved that you share feelings for her
at first she’s a bit closed off but opens up once she knows you’re really there for her
she needs a lot of assurance :)
she isn’t experienced in relationships so usually you just straight up tell her if something is bothering you in the relationship to avoid miscommunications and arguments
if you complain to her about your work, coworkers, or just having a bad day, she’s already up and asking who she needs to kill
she’s not big on pda, the occasional brush of your hands by hers and lingering gazes leave her wanting more
when you’re in private though she loves to cup your cheeks to kiss you firmly
you love playing with her rings when you two hold hands
you end up wearing some of them
they remind you of her whenever you’re alone and absentmindedly fiddle with them
she buys matching vests for you (and fanny)
when you two spend the night in, she’ll put on some random show and play with your hair while snuggled up on the couch
you convince her to braid your hair
in turn she lets you do her makeup
whenever she comes back from missions and meets you she envelopes you in such a firm hug and buries her face in your neck murmuring how much she misses you
after, there’s always some small souvenir she gives you, she says they reminded her of you during her missions
you have a small area in your home just for those souvenirs
yelena wants to experience things she never got to as a child, so you love taking her to the movies, festivals, and silly little adventures
when her face lights up during these dates>>>
sometimes you wake up at 3 AM to find her in the kitchen making mac n cheese and listening to old 80s music
of course you join her
A/N: send in more requests!

hcs about jealous Yelena... pretty please 🥺
My thoughts on how Yelena deals with jealousy;
Masterlist
—⧗—
- let's get one thing out of the way yeah?
- Yelena is not the best at dealing with emotions.
- if she happens to get jealous of you, you're most likely not gonna hear her say "I was jealous" right away.
- if she spots you across a room with someone else;
- someone who's looking at you, touching you, with more intent than they should;
- she will keep the feeling to herself at first.
- feeling jealous because of someone she loves, is very new to Yelena;
- and she's not happy with how much it can hurt and bother her.
- however, she will keep it to herself;
- Yelena was trained to endure pain and hide emotions, so that's exactly what she will do;
- that feeling will be locked inside until it forces itself out.
- if your relationship is new, or you're not even in a relationship with her yet;
- Yelena will keep her distance;
- for her, she has no right to feel that way, so she suffers in silence;
- until you decide to come to her;
- then that feeling starts to show itself through some witty and sarcastic remarks;
- Yelena may say something a little harsh about your relationship with the specific person that triggered her jealousy;
- and more often than not, her words may hit you as well;
- she'd never want to hurt you, but she's hurting too.
- Yelena can be insecure;
- she's had fake relationships before and that fear lingers sometimes;
- if Yelena keeps that feeling bottled up for too long she starts to get quiet and distant;
- with her mind making up unkind scenarios;
- so hold her, tell her she's the only one you have eyes for;
- in certain situations you may even find yourself gently wiping away her tears and insecurities;
- but she'll settle eventually, if not, just kiss her pout away.
- other times, most likely when you're already in a relationship;
- and jealousy doesn't make Yelena insecure anymore, just makes her blood boil and some light possessiveness appear;
- she can end up coming up to you and whoever you're talking to;
- she's gonna stay there with a steady hand on your waist or holding your own hand;
- you're gonna feel her fingers tracing your skin in a pattern that you quickly learn to associate with her jealousy;
- her firm grip on you and more evident PDA are also a telling that she wants people to see you're with her;
- you may tease her later just to see her blush, and deny it;
- "I wasn't jealous детка, I just missed you."
- her jealousy makes her touchy and affectionate;
- subtly showing everyone who you belong to;
- and don't expect her to leave your side anytime soon.
- and if you fancy a story with a jealous Yelena, I give you this ;)

◌ 𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡 & 𝐘𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐚'𝐬 𝐬/𝐨 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞 ◌
✧ gender neutral, requests are open! Yelena is asexual and I want to respect that; so these will always be SFW.
𝑴𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕
⭒ You & Yelena met during a mission. Her source led her to you; a witch interested in all the magical & mystical arts.
⭒ Yelena thought it would be easy enough to enter your home/apartment, but didn’t account for the fact that you actually did have magical abilities. Therefore, your wards and protection were a match for the black widow.
⭒ So, she knocked. And waited, and her usual surprising and intimidating entrance had been ruined.
⭒ “Ugh, hello?” You called through the closed door.          “Yes - I am here to see Y/N Y/L/N. This is you?” She stated, her accent thick.     “And what do you need Y/N for?” “I need some ... help.”
⭒ Your first impressions of the assassin were this:      ・ somewhat grumpy; which you found out was because she didn’t like asking for help    ・Very beautiful (this you were somewhat intimidated by)    ・Russian, but with great knowledge of the area     ・Suspicious
⭒ “What you desire will have to be traced by a spell. And the ingredients for this don’t come cheap.”           “I can pay,” Yelena answered, and took a sip from her cup.  “Well...good.” You felt somewhat awkward as usually the customer would leave. But Yelena did not move from her seat at your kitchen table.
Clearing your throat, she smiled.     “I will be coming with you. This ... this is dangerous.”
⭒ It’s safe to say the mission went well and through your time together feelings grew. It was pretty obvious as she did take a bullet in the arm for you. (She never lets you live it down.)
⭒ Yelena LOVES to decorate; it’s something makes her happy and feel like she’s expressing her true self. You didn’t mind; your tastes ended up being quite similar.
⭒ She’s curious about magic, and you show her your abilities. When you gain more knowledge, whatever you can do intensifies.
⭒ You make sigils for Yelena when she has to go out and work; you’re worried sick but know that your magic will keep her safer
⭒ You guys do a nightly skin routine together; you’re kinda like an old married couple
⭒ Pets! Obviously Fanny is thriving, you have a cat as well & a gold fish
⭒ Your favourite things to do together consist of movie nights/pamper nights, ice skating and crystal shopping.
⭒ Yelena’s favourite crystals are: Moonstone, Sunstone and Garnet ⭒ Favourite songs: boss by Little Simz, The King by Sarah Kinsley, the fruits by Paris Paloma and Holding Out For A Hero
⭒ The photobooth pictures of Yelena & Nat are framed and hang in the living room.
⭒ You do catch up with Kate & Clint, they’re regulars for dinner

A sad Yelena headcanon?
Omg I have so many but sure, all of her time under the red room was a blur except for the small flashes she had of her and Natasha, and Melina (Alexei as previously stated was barely present), when she was freed it was like coming up for air after drowning, she was navigating a world she did not know how to navigate, atleast for the first couple of months, she also harbored a deep anger towards everyone and everything (especially for Nat, not really but she felt betrayed)

#62 & #65 for Yelena pls! :)
62: What’s a weird skill they have that they don’t really talk about?
She can touch her elbow with her tongue, but she doesn't talk about it anymore after she told Natasha and the redhead teased her about how the hell she found that out in the first place.
65: Who’s a close friend of theirs that you wouldn’t expect?
Steven Grant. While her friendship with Marc Spector was not a surprise, her good relationship with Steven shocked virtually everyone. Yelena loves how kind (and even naive) Steven can be, and although he's scared of the blonde from time to time, the man is quite amused by the girl's goofy personality.
Send me numbers + a character and I'll write some headcanons =]

How about some Yelena facts 😌💕
I have so many Yelena headcanons posted I feel like I might run out, so these are absolutely random and off the top of my head.
Absolutely obsessed with the Oreos + peanut butter combo. Coincidentally, also a big fan of the Lindsay Lohan Parent Trap.
Hisses at feral cats but also periodically feeds them.
I stole this from TikTok (if someone knows the creator's name tell me so I can direct people their way), but because the Red Room pheromone brainwashing was developed from the Winter Soldier program, Yelena treats Bucky like her long-lost grandfather. She calls him deda/dedushka. Bucky takes to it surprisingly well.
Whenever anyone brings up the fact that Alexei is her father, she says "he's not my real dad". Whenever anyone shit talks Alexei or reiterates that he's not her biological father, she says, "hey! that's my dad you speak about."
I feel like Yelena and Matt Murdock have run into each other at some point, and I'm obsessed with the mental image that brings me.
"You can't just shoot people without reason."
"I am number one assassin in the world, horny boy. I can do as I want."
Hates the little outfits people dress their dogs up in on the basis that the freedom to choose your own self expression is extremely important to her. Yelena's dog had the option of at least three different collars and she went with the one that it ran to first.
Unhinged gift giver. Finds the thing that you were 100% sure was sold out, refuses to tell you how she obtained it beyond "I know a guy".

Yelena's Birthday
Tumblr media
Masterlist
Because Yelanas birthday was right around the corner and you knew she never really celebrated her birthday you decided to surprise her.
Yelena told you that you don't need to do anything special but you wanted to plan something beacuse she deserves it.
You bought all kind of things to decorate your apartment.
You called Melina, Alexei and Natasha and explained to them what you had planned.
With Wanda's help you made a cake.
Melina, Alexei and Natasha came at the perfect time and helped you decorate everything.
You thought of inviting Wanda and Kate too but then decided that this day should only be with Yelena's family.
Maybe you'll make another party with Kate, Wanda and some other friends.
Because Yelena doesn't live with you yet it was easy to surprise her.
You asked her to come over to spend some time on her birthday.
When you heard the knock on the door you all hide somewhere.
When Yelena opened the door you all jumped out.
Yelena was very surprised but imediately began to smile when she saw her family.
You all gave Yelena a hug.
Later you gave her your presents and ate the cake.
You all had a wonderful and fun time together.

(platonic) kate bishop x yelena belova blurb
yelena keeps telling kate that she has to listen to this great song, her absolute favorite song, so kate is like "ok what is it" and she pulls up spotify on her phone, ready to search for it, but yelena says "oh no." she then whips out a cassette and eventually yelena gets it playing and kate hears the first lyrics and notes and just audibly groans, "this is like an 8 minute song?!" but yelena just shushes her and eventually kate sees the recognition and nostalgia in yelena's eyes and her heart aches for her friend who has been through, still goes through, so much.
i never post stuff in this format but I had this idea for a while so I hope this is okay

For the headcanon game, can I have 1, 9 and 27 with the thunderbolts team?
Someone just saw the team announced isn't it anon? I don't know everyone that well, so forgive me if something here goes too far out of character.
1: What color(s) do I associate with them?
An elegant black or gray for Valentina | Definitely gray for Ghost. | I hate the Guardian, but his color is red. | Yelena my beloved can have yellow. | Bucky is green or dark blue. | Damn, I hate John. Maybe black or brown. | And for Antonia our dear Taskmaster, I like orange.
9: What kind of dance would they do at 3am?
Valentina doesn't dance, ever. | Ava would be listening to music coming from the neighbors, maybe a famous pop or electronics when looking for something to eat and without realizing she would try a few steps, but nothing too big. | Alexei will dance to anything if he's drunk enough, and he usually is. | Yelena isn't much of a dancer after the red room, but I like to imagine her returning to New York to visit Kate Bishop at her apartment and being fascinated to find the girl dancing at dawn while heating up pasta. She would break in through the window, and join the surprised Bishop. | Bucky is a born dancer, but he became very reclusive after Hydra. Sam is definitely working on it, and he doesn't miss an opportunity to pull his friend-husband in a dance. | I don't care about John. | Antonia definitely goes ballroom dancing with her girlfriend.
27: What genre of music do they listen to most often?
I have no idea about Valentina, John or the red guardian. | Yelena loves old rock and probably listens to national songs in Ukrainian/Russian as well. Bucky is passionate about classics from his own era but is trying to give new music a chance, especially the ones Sam recommends. I feel like Ava likes hip-hop, and Antonia likes melodies that aren't too stimulating (she probably feels charged all the time because of the Taskmaster chip).

hi lovely vy could u do headcanons where yelena works for shield and always does missions alongside the avengers (even if she’s like 16/17) and so everyone sees her as super mature for her age but she’s still just a teen and faces some of the normal struggles like body image problems/ depriving herself of food because she’s been told that her worth only comes from her appearance. and maybe steve and tony and bucky all notice at separate times and try to help her and come to the realization that they’ve all been treating a child as an adult
As someone who struggles with body image and an ED I'm incredibly thankful for this request dear. Hope you like the headcanons 💕
Platonic pairings: Yelena & Steve, Yelena & Bucky, Yelena & Tony
Warnings: Body image issues and food restriction, Over-exercising, Self-doubt, Questioning self-worth
Genre: Hurt/Comfort, Platonic Fluff, Angst
She's found a home here, two actually
She's surrounded by people who care for her, people she trusts
She contributes greatly in the city's - or rather world's - security
She's never been at a higher point as far back as she can remember
Then why does this dark raincloud still dangle itself above her head?
Why is it raining down doubt, hesitation and reluctance into her mind?
Why does it leave her sleepless at night?
And why does it get her stuck in front of the mirror a lot longer than necessary?
Yelena's always been treated years beyond her actual age
There's really no other way she could've been approached and treated when all her life she's been seen as some sort of weapon
Now, she's a soldier, an agent, a hero
And the weight of the responsibility has only grown heavier on her back
It was a close call during their last mission, one that could've cost a civilian's life, that sent her down the dark spiral without any harness for her to hold onto or get lifted up to the surface eventually
She's deemed the high viewing adults have of her as something for her to feel complimented by
To be seen as mature, intellectually and physically, past one's age is often perceived as a great admiration of the person's skillset and their ability in a certain field or line of work
But when the person is still just a teenager, one who never got to experience proper childhood at that, the positive aspects of it get thrown out the window
It does more harm than good
Which is precisely the case with Yelena who, despite doubting it, started losing self-regard and care for the sole purpose of being the hero and protector she'd deem 'worth' fighting alongside the Avengers
It took effect drastically
Drastically enough for people to thankfully start noticing
The first was Tony
He picked up on her more than half full plates following every meal, the lack of empty spaces on the plate contradicting her claims of feeling full or stuffed
He'd tried to point it out to her, how she was not rationing her food intake properly with her workout regimen, but she brushed him off with a claim that the protein shakes she drank were making her feel full
When he told her to cut down on them, she'd unconvincingly agreed
Second was Steve
He noticed her excessiveness, the newfound urge to go further and faster with every workout than ever before
He had half-jokingly warned her to slow down to which she almost bitterly replied that if it were him he definitely wouldn't slow down
The nail didn't get hit on the head till Bucky accidentally stumbled across her journal
It had been left in the cafeteria - her newly-scatterbrained self had forgotten it there - and he had flicked it open in hopes of finding any evidence of the owner's identity
He immediately recognized Yelena's neat cursive handwriting and was just about to close it and go return it to her when he noticed what had been written
A workout routine, body measurements, calorie counter comparing intake and the amount burnt during her training sessions
This sent off every last alarm in Bucky's head who, up until that point, had already had a sneaking suspicion that something was awry with the girl
And when he brought it up to Steve and Tony, he was beyond relieved to know he was not the only one
An intervention was bound to take place
And it did when Tony stumbled across Yelena in one of the rec rooms on base
He'd beckoned Steve and Bucky over too with one quick text and the meeting was in order
It took a lot of back and forth, a lot of false convincing from Yelena's side of the table and even more disbelief from her three mentors
When she admitted her struggles finally, tears staining her eyes as she white-knuckled her hands into fists, it felt like a ton of that weight she'd been carrying around, pressing down on her, was lifted
Like that raincloud had finally stopped pouring over her and had lightened up greatly
Her admission was followed by a spiel of genuine reassurance and comfort from the three Avengers
The first step of her recovery from that negative mental space was the burning of that damned journal
From that point on, she promised to trust the three with her workouts and meals as she had done prior to those depleting thoughts' nestling into her head
It's the one thing she's been seeking out all her life
People to trust and rely on
People who actually care
A family
That cloud might still be following her around, but it's pearly white and calm, not a raindrop in sight
But if a storm does start brewing, she'll have someone to shield her from it

Jealous Yelena Headcanons:
Tumblr media
Requested by @yelenabelovasgf
Yelena wouldn’t know the exact emotion she’s feeling at that moment
But she knows it’s a strong one whenever your gaze fell on someone else for too long or you laughed at someone else’s jokes
You two aren’t together… yet
Which makes her feel like her jealousy is wrong
This makes her feel super conflicted
So all she does is clench her jaw and swallow her feelings down
After sometime, her jealousy grows as her feelings for you grow as well
Yelena would glare at the person your attention is being taken up by or she would make an effort to physically get closer to you or redirect your attention to her (with poor attempts at flirting i.e. “Hey want to see the new knife set/vest I got?”)
Of course you notice her shifts in behavior
You just wanted to see how far you could push it before she confessed
Since she’s new to feelings in general, she would ask Kate about it
Kate would tease her a lot when you aren’t looking and sometimes stir the pot a bit by getting into your personal space
She only stops when she spots the death glare sported on Yelena’s face
When you are together, she makes sure everyone knows you’re hers by wrapping a protective arm around your waist
You secretly like Yelena’s jealous side because you get to reassure her that you only have eyes for her
A/N: I’m very new at this, esp at formatting. Bear with me. Pls send requests ;)
