!!! I am squeaking so much at your comments. SO MUCH. *hugs!*
Thank you for pointing out the tango thing! I'll have to clarify it for when I post it to AO3 (once I have enough distance to edit it properly, aha). In some versions of comics canon, Natasha was in Stalingrad during the siege. Tango music was used as a form of psychological warfare against the invading Nazis, blaring constantly (24/7) on the radios except for occasional intermissions to remind the Nazis they were all going to die. So this Nat, while a soldier for Russia at the time, still has some pretty bad associations with it.
:DD (I am responding to each comment because it's easier to get the words straight in my head that way, haha!)
