PeggyNat is the femslash ship between and Peggy Carter and Natasha Romanoff from the Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom.

What If... The Watcher Broke His Oath?
Peggy (as Captain Carter) is on a mission alongside Natasha to free hostages from a group of pirates led by Georges Bartoc. On a quinjet, Natasha picks up a conversation. She tries to set Peggy up with Bernard in accounting; but she is tuned down by Peggy as Peggy claims that nothing good has ever followed the phrase "Bernard in accounting". Natasha then teases her, asking that if it would be different if the name were "Steve" instead. Peggy jokingly mentions how Natasha has hurt her when they just were becoming pals. She then winks at Natasha and jumps from the quinjet to fight the pirates.

In the fight with one of the pirates, Peggy is recruited by The Watcher to be a part of a team called "The Guardians of The Multiverse" whose purpose is to stop Ultron from destroying multiverse. As they are having a battle with Ultron, the team meets Natasha from alternative universe who has snatched the soul stone from the team. Peggy stops the team from attacking Natasha and tries to get on her good side. She explains that from the universe she came from, they really trust each other to the point where she already knows about Natasha's family. This gains Natasha's approval.

Natasha then joins the team to defeat Ultron. In the battle, Peggy protects Natasha from Ultron's attack and later helps her to inject Zola virus to Ultron's programming. After they completed their mission, Peggy finds herself back to where she was before getting recruited by the Watcher. She is off her guard at the moment, so she falls to the floor just after the pirate that she was fighting earlier punched her on the face. Natasha appears to tase the pirate until he is unconscious. She questions Natasha if the pirate was her type as she seemed to be struggling with him. Peggy hastily hugs Natasha, telling her that she has never been so happy her, which Natasha responses confusedly.

Behind the Scenes
"While brief, the moment between them shows how much closer they are than Steve and Natasha were at that time. In The Winter Soldier, Steve was dealing with trust issues surrounding S.H.I.E.L.D. and anyone affiliated with it, to the point that he couldn't even trust his allies. But Peggy was apparently able to understand that Natasha was a friend she could trust quickly. Plus, the fact that Natasha could openly talk about Steve without Peggy feeling negative about it shows that the two are best friends."

Fanon
PeggyNat initially started as a crack ship. It mostly takes a setting in an alternative timeline where, instead of Steve Rogers, Peggy is the one who receives the super soldier serum. An user on tumblr created several fanarts of Peggy and Natasha in accordance to Captain America: The Winter Soldier movie with Peggy replacing Steve's role. The fanarts then received thousands of positive engagements from fans, therefore giving more traction to the ship. The ship gained even more popularity following episode 9 of What IF...? series which showed how the two characters had become close friends.

The shippers believe that there is romantic tension depicted in the interactions between the two characters. They also point out how Natasha and Peggy are very close to the point where Peggy knows about Natasha's family, while it is shown in the main timeline that not even the Avengers know about it.
