ATTF: Community Trick-or-Treating  
trick or treat

Happy (almost) Halloween, bar! It's been quite a week in fandom, hasn't it? This post will be the spot for your community Halloween party for the next week or so!

Last year a bunch of people did fandom trick-or-treating on their personal journals (here's mine, for an example) and it was so much fun that I decided to steal the meme.

So, here's how I'm going to adapt it for the community:

  • If you want to give out treats, reply to this post with the comment "My door is open" or something clear to that effect!

  • Your fellow bar patrons will then reply to your comment with "trick-or-treat"

  • You will provide some sort of treat (or trick, I suppose)! Treats can be anything you want--a picspam, a short comment fic, a compliment, or anything else that strikes your fancy!

  • There is no deadline for providing treats. You are also welcome to put a limit on how many things you're willing/able to fill.

  • Anyone can participate!

  • Out of consideration for your fellow bar patrons, please refrain from including Age of Ultron trailer spoilers. I know we're all excited, but this is going to be a busy post, and I'd hate to see the experience ruined for anyone.

Things to remember:
1) Always label NSFW (Not Safe For Work) stuff in the title and post under a cut.
2) Fic and artwork needs to have a rating and warnings (or you can say that you’ve chosen not to use warnings).
3) For people with annoying internet connections, say in the title if a comment is graphic/images/gif-heavy and post picspams under a cut.
4) Have a damn good time! (Because if that’s not happening then this post has clearly failed.)

Sometimes it gets hard to look in the mirror. It's hard to see the woman that stands in the reflection an claim her.

But every time she wakes up, she does. Every morning, evening or whenever she opens her eyes, she stands in front of the mirror and claims her reflection. All of it. Every part of her.

Because Natasha carved herself out of blood and sweat. She put her bones together like a puzzle and made herself anew.

She cared herself from what had been done to her, put herself together with stitching and shaking hands. She may not be proud of who she is but she is so, so much happier than with what who she had been.

She looks in the mirror, touches the glass, and smiles.

She is far better than any version of herself anyone else could have mad.e She is beautiful and she is fierce and she is proud.

And as she walks away from the mirror, her confidence unwavering, she knows she is almost happy with who she is today.
