See, in the fic I'm trying to spork, our heroes inject the Mary Sue with deadly nightshade in an attempt to cure a gunshot wound, and for reasons which are never explained it instantly heals up the wound and brings her out of her coma. Even though it was, I repeat, deadly nightshade. However, we're talking about a continuum in which head injuries make your hair turn blue and it's possible to live through having most of your internal organs removed and someone else's put in their place with rusty cutlery for surgical tools and absinthe as anaesthetic. So, you can see, I was unsure whether this counted as a charge. I still think it does, because the canon weirdness seems to run on the Rule of Funny, whereas the nightshade thing was apparently pulled out of nowhere purely for the convenience of the author.
