Fandom

Tumblr user the-blackest-spider explains why they ship the pairing:

"Yeah this ship sort of came out of no where a while back for me. It’s interesting, I enjoy it. I see them as friends with benefits or attempting a relationship. Look its justifiable, he saved her from the Hulk. I see Thor wanting to prove to Natasha she can be honorable and she isn’t as bad as she thinks she is, also considering how much Natasha is like Loki I can see that being a reason for the Thunder God to gravitate towards her."

Common Tropes in Fanworks
