Since this post is talking about angst, a comics question!
I haven't been following Hickman's Avengers at all - has the Steve and Tony thing at the beginning of New Avengers blown up in their faces yet? If not, will that be happening in Original Sin? What are the chances the fallout will be handled/has been handled in an emotionally honest and organic way? Hit me with whatever spoilers exist.
More on topic, I tend to prefer angst that follow naturally from the choices characters make, often because they are so singleminded the costs don't occur to them until it is too late. I like Charles/Erik in canon, for example. Fic that is just characters being beat up repeatedly and moaning about being fate's chew toy is more hit or miss. It depends on whether they are beat up enough to justify the whining!
