Natasha & Yelena + Avengers Thanksgiving

- There is a whole list of food with names next to the dishes that tells the Avengers who needs to bring what

- Natasha and Yelena are the only ones who are not included on the list because everyone knows that neither one of them can cook anything at all

- The one time that they let the girls bring something, Bucky ended up with food poisoning

- Which in hindsight was likely by Yelena's design because she does not exactly get along with him all that well due to their shared history and his role in the Red Room

- When they are all gathered at the table, Yelena and Natasha are always seated next to each other with Peter sitting on the other side of Yelena and Carol sitting on the other side of Natasha

- Yelena heaps up giant piles of food on her plate and sometimes food is almost on top of each other because she insists on trying at least a little of every single dish that is brought

- And the amount of Avengers and heroes that attend is quite a few so Yelena has an enormous plate by the time it's all over

- Natasha picks a few of her favorite foods and sticks to that, saving room for any desserts that they might have afterward

- Yelena does not have that sort of foresight as her eyes grow as big as her plate and she wants everything she sees

- After Peter hesitantly suggests it, they all end up saying what they are thankful for as they eat their Thanksgiving dinner

- When it becomes Natasha's turn, she talks about how thankful she is that she has a sister as amazing as Yelena and she says how thankful she is to have this entire family of people that she cares about

- And since Peter started the chain, Yelena ends up going last, and she at first jokes about how she's thankful for all of this food that she's getting to stuff her face with

- However, she eventually grows serious and ends up admitting that she is thankful for the Avengers and for them accepting her so openly into their group, and she finally says that she is most thankful for the biggest poser she has ever known who is the most wonderful, amazing person she has ever known

- Natasha has to blink rapidly and focus intensely on her mashed potatoes to avoid crying in response to the heartfelt words

- When dessert is brought out at some point, Carol says something to Yelena and makes the mistake of calling her short

- Which naturally angers Yelena and Yelena throws pudding at Carol

- And then a giant dessert fight breaks loose, and chaos is let loose

- When the entire thing comes to an end, they are all laughing even though most of them are covered with chocolate and various other desserts

- It is a huge mess to clean up, but they all have a ridiculously huge amount of fun

- When Natasha and Yelena finally go home for the night, Yelena just crashes against Natasha, letting her big sister hold her in her arms as she just rests her head on Natasha's shoulder

- It is a chaotic yet perfect Thanksgiving indeed
