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.

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

I hate it.
Same here. I think she went through things that Tony and Bruce and Steve and Thor CANNOT IMAGINE and I can accept more scarred and damaged... in the context that it's that much more fucking amazing that she remake herself into the epic BAMF she currently is.

Like you said, damage is fine, but not in a kind of....I think the word I'm looking for here is fetish? It doesn't quite fit but it's as close as I can get.
