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:

- The Hulk
- Being unmade/brainwashed (and this is debatable).
- FEELINGS.

Yes, yes, THIS, yes.
Things that typically drive me nuts: Natasha being helpless, Steve being a wide-eyed neophyte, Chloe being selfish/betraying those she loves, Sherlock being both virginal and completely ignorant about the biology of sex and attraction, John having zero self-worth...
You know what? There's way too much that makes me go "Oh, honey, no."

Sadly, yes.
Natasha being helpless, Steve being a wide-eyed neophyte,
Natasha is never HELPLESS. Never. She might lose sometimes, but she is NEVER helpless.
And I've had a lot of people very wittily comment on what exactly was going on in the 1940s, and all the reasons it makes not sense for him to be completely clueless about sex. Starting with his best friend and ending with the entire culture of the 1940s.
