A Thousand Armies Couldn't Keep Me Out

This is a great, villain-centric Once vid:

I both find it hilarious and bang-on that the vidder decided the Blue Fairy was a villain. You know you can never trust a nun.

This Avengers-as-teachers AU snippet makes me soul weep due to awesome. Someone please write that.

Okay, so I've been reading a lot of Natasha Romanoff + other people fics and there is one persistent piece of fanon that makes me go, "Oh, honey, no." It's the idea that Natasha is someone how more scared than other BAMF and that it gets her and edge, or something? (And it's otherwise excellent writers working with this idea, but it just DOES NOT fly for me.) This is a woman who came out of the Red Room, okay? She knows what it's like to be unmade. She is likely LESS scared than other BAMFs.

Look, as far as I'm concern there are three things that Natasha is afraid of:

1.   The Hulk
2. Being unmade/brainwashed (and this is debatable).
3. FEELINGS.

That is it. End of list. Crazy alien invasion, guys with pliers, madman with an army of robot soldiers - none of that is going to get her pulse past the same level of a hard workout, okay?

So that's my example of 'fanon that just doesn't work for me.'

Flist, what are YOUR examples of fanon (from any fandom) that just makes you go, 'Oh, honey, no.'

Sometimes, when I read Clint/Natasha stuff and they have her being so open and fluffy and I'm just...

NO

I'm sure there are more, but that's been bugging me a lot lately.

Natasha and fluffy? Fuck no. What people who want to write fluffy Clint/Natasha have to realize is that, for her and Clint, the most romantic thing ever would be saying something along the lines of, 'no one gets to kill you but me' you know? Things of that nature.

Exactly!
