Summary:
Margot thinks Scarlett would make a great Harley Quinn
Author's note:
I like clothes swapping, cosplay, beautiful women and lesbian discoveries - here's a story that will hopefully tick all of those boxes. Margot Robbie and Scarlett Johansson are two of my celebrity crushes, and seeing them in action as Harley Quinn and Black Widow... well,
wow
is about all I can say. If you're a fan or either (or both) of them, I hope you'll like this story!
One tiny little note - the premise is linked to a bet that could have gone either way, and I think either option would have been equally delicious. I've chosen one outcome, but I love the other one too, and I don't want to leave it unanswered. So, somewhere down the line, expect a parallel story/sequel/something else that gets these two women back together - it'd be a shame not to, so if there's any preference for what you'd like to see, let me know!

The Dressing Room -- Margot and Scarlett
"Calm down, Margot, calm down!"
The Australian actress spoke to herself as she paced around her living room, keeping an eye on the time and trying to steady her nerves. She'd been thinking about this moment for weeks now and, even now, she couldn't quite believe that it was here.
It wasn't often that your dreams came true, she thought.
But they were today.
Margot left the room and started pacing around the house. She went to the hall mirror to check herself again - she knew it didn't matter what
she
looked like, not today, but she wouldn't have felt right if she didn't make an effort, given how special the occasion was.
She'd dressed casually, wearing a form-fitting-but-not-too-much red summer dress, which hung loosely yet tightly on her slim frame. It was the kind of casual outfit she'd have completed with a simple pair of white trainers, maybe some low heels, but she was home and so went barefoot, completing the sense of legs that went on for miles.
She hadn't opted for much make-up (for reasons she would make clear to her guest later on), but she was the sort of natural beauty who didn't really require too much - her blue eyes shone, and her blonde hair hung gently on her shoulders. She was a good-looking woman, and she knew it.
She was just hoping that, after all the fun and games were out of the way, her companion recognised it too.
If it was going to be any day, it would be today.
The time was near, but would she be punctual? Would she be looking forward to what she and Margot were going to do, or would she be apprehensive? Was she thinking about this moment every moment, as Margot seemed to be?
Or would she chicken out? That'd be the worst thing of all - would she decide that their agreement was just a stupid bet that meant nothing, and not even show up?
Margot smiled in delight at the chimes of the door - that was a definite 'no' to her last question.
And that meant Scarlett Johansson was here.
Today was the day that the Marvel star held up her end of their bargain, and the Australian actress had been looking forward to it for... well, since they'd met.
The two women had become friends over the past few years, and they met up semi-regularly for a drink and a chat. As two A-list stars in Hollywood, there were few people on their level who they could chat with and vent at, and receive a genuine response that didn't come from a place of sycophancy - they were fortunate that they had each other. They could chat about anything with each other - work, life, love.
Margot especially liked it when the conversation shifted to love. Somehow, their friendship became even more intimate when they talked about love and sex, and the kind of topics only the closest of friends comfortably discussed together.
And then, after a few glasses for wine, there was always the suggestion it could have been something more - that their friendship could lead to them being more than friends.
When they got onto these topics, there always seemed to shared looks and glances that could have meant more, posing questions about where their relationship could go.
But, thus far, those glances remained unanswered.
Did Scarlett feel the same way as she did, Margot often wondered? Some of her comments seemed flirtatious, as though the Marvel actress was putting out feelers to see if her own feelings were reciprocated. Margot tried to respond, and flirted back, but nothing ever seemed to come of it. She couldn't read her friend - she didn't know if that flirting was just Scarlett being Scarlett, or whether it meant something else?
All the Australian actress knew is that Scarlett's words and her looks made her heart leap in a way it never seemed to with anyone else. And so, Margot waited for their next time together, hoping that would be the time she finally confessed how she felt.
Would she ever find her nerve?
It so happened that one of those chats came just as they were both getting ready to don their superhero outfits once more - Scarlett to film the solo
Black Widow
film, and Margot for
The Suicide Squad
. These films were crowd pleasers, and they were guaranteed money-makers - how could they grumble?
Both women began as they always did when they met that day - it was Scarlett's turn to host, so the actresses sat on the Marvel star's sofa with a glass of wine, and talked about everything but work. The trips they'd taken, and the people they'd met. Any nice outfits that they'd purchased recently, or designers that wanted to work with them. Any memorable fan encounters, pleasant or strange - fortunately, it was largely the former, but they always seemed to have a weird one to dissect too. And they'd talk of romance - anyone who caught their eye, or the rare occasion they managed a date.
These fleeting romances never seemed to last, though - it was as though their hearts weren't quite in it. Margot, for her part, knew hers certainly wasn't.
But eventually, the conversation drifted towards their upcoming films. Margot described how excited she was with how the Harley Quinn character would be portrayed in this new
Suicide Squad
film, and some of the incredible actors she'd be working with. She knew that this film would take the potential of the first one, and actually do it justice.
Scarlett started talking about the challenges of the solo
Black Widow
- executive-producing the project as well as starring, and ensuring that the film truly delivered on the love for the character since the fans first met her in
Iron Man 2
. She also told Margot that the film would see audiences meeting Natasha's family, and a whole new army of Black Widows.
"You know," Scarlett said, a wry smile on her lips, "you'd make a great Black Widow yourself, Margot."
Margot smiled - this wasn't the first time Scarlett had tried to get her in one of those famous catsuits. She was always talking about a cameo in a Marvel film, maybe even an appearance as Natasha's sister down the line, but Margot knew that moment had now passed with this new film - she knew they'd already signed someone up for that role.
So what was she playing at?
