Oh wow. WOW.

Learning Lilith, Claiming Kali
Biological implications of being a hetero-normative homozygous-X hero – fluff, chocolate, heartache, and blood. Six stories of women of the Avengers movieverse. Betty Ross, Darcy Lewis, Jane Foster, Maria Hill, Natasha Romanoff, Peggy Carter, Pepper Potts and Sif. Plus assorted heterozygous characters of lesser note.

This is AMAZING. Beautifully written, well-thought out, very female-focused, uncomfortable and complicated and poignant and sharp all at once. Natasha and Peggy's sections are particularly moving.

I admit, I had to skim Darcy's section to get to 'the good stuff' which pretty much started with Betty Ross, who I don't even know. And I would have liked a bit more in-depth Maria, but still.
