Yelena hearing Natasha tell her not to spike the engine, looking at Natasha with love and regret and then doing what she has to do.

Natasha seeing Taskmaster approaching fast, looking at Yelena with love and regret and then doing what she has to do.

Natasha, letting go, falling to save Yelena.

Natasha, letting go, falling to save everyone.

#this post brought to you by the idea that the look on yelena's face when natasha let go of the parachute #would be the same if yelena had been on vormir instead of clint #“she loved you and always wanted you safe” #yelena already knows because natasha's done this before #yelena may be angry that natasha sacrificed herself but yelena tried to do it first #between watching the hawkeye show and the black widow movie and all the bishova fanfic i've been reading #seeing how broken yelena is by natasha's death #this makes me so retroactively bitter about how natasha was mishandled in the mcu #i shouldn't need 7 hours of additional film/tv and supplemental fanworks to give a shit about a character that was in 7 fucking MCU movies #i dunno maybe that says something about me #that i'm only sad about natasha now because yelena is sad about natasha #but i think it's more likely a failure of storytelling on their part #i felt plenty sad about loki (both times) and peter and coulson and hell even yondu and they had way less screentime #anyhoo #this kinda got away from me #basically just wanted to point out some similarities and wallow in my natasha and yelena feels a bit #black widow #avengers: endgame #natasha romanoff #yelena belova #parallels
