Prompts and Drabbles

[scribblemyname]

I'm getting ready to read about 100,000 words of canon review for the collaboration, which is no small chunk, and before I do, I kind of wanted to write some drabbles. Any prompts?

1. fandom or canon - tagset of fandoms
2. character(s)
3. fluff or angst
4. one to three word prompt

MCU Drabble: A Violent Grace

They call her graceful in a fight.

She says thank you because it's expected, it's polite, and she's all about appearances, but not the beautiful appearances—the effective ones.

Natasha was beautiful when she needed to be, utilitarian when she needed to be, homely or mousy or stunning as the need arose, but when she really went to work and showed them all why her name was the Black Widow, when she fought sweaty and bloody and dirty and scraped up and ruthless, she wasn't graceful, wasn't beautiful.

Killing wasn't beautiful. She was a weapon, not a piece of jewelry.

Ouch. That last line. Powerful and painful.

I think so much of who she is IS powerful and painful and more so than those who know her always give credit.
