Watching a documentary about the Romanovs the other night

copperbadge:

historymiss: It’s like Who Do You Think You Are for Natasha
copperbadge: Which is now a fic I want to write
copperbadge: Natasha goes on the show because it’s the best of a bad lot of PR options. Also she DID say she wanted to find herself
copperbadge: MCU-wise, if Nicholas had a couple of kids on the wrong side of the blanket, she could be a granddaughter or great-granddaughter, I suppose
archwrites: how would anyone get the red room data to find out, though
copperbadge: Well you wouldn’t need it necessarily. You could just DNA test her against the remains of the princesses.
Em: Putin makes her renounce any intention of making Russia a monarchy again and taking the throne 
copperbadge: Ahahaha like Putin could. He just begs her not to invade.
Em: true but still. He tries to make it *look* like he’s controlling it, and Nat lets him because she can’t be bothered.
copperbadge: Well, she checks with Tony, and apparently it’d be bad for the economy if she sets herself up as Tsarina. Plus James would make a terrible Tsar.
copperbadge: And Steve’s right out. And Sam doesn’t want to.
Em: LOL
copperbadge: Clint DOES want to be Tsar but…no.
Levynite: dear gods no
