fic: one step forward, two steps back (pg-13, natasha-centric)

[noblealice.livejournal.com]

title: one step forward, two steps back
ship: natasha romanoff (the avengers)
warnings: mentions of Red Room and therefore child abuse and violence
word count: 1,400+
notes: written for this prompt at the be-compromised prompt-a-thon, I’m saying fuck the canon that retconned Natasha’s ballet dancing past, mostly because this is fic and I can.

( she wasn’t taught to dance with the typical arabesques and pliés, she was taught with knives between her fingers and blades strapped to her thighs )
