Dumpster #3: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch
Holy shitballs, look at us go. Welcome to Captain America fandom's resident wretched hive of scum and villainy: ROUND THREE. AKA Bad Guys Do Dirtybadwrong Things To Your Faves, AKA the Hydra Trash Party kinkmeme. As usual, BLANKET NON-CON AND NSFW WARNINGS apply: just assume going in that everything in this landfill is unfit for human consumption.
Rules in brief: don't be a jerk except to fictional characters, warnings for particularly fucked-up garbage are nice but not required, thou shalt not judge the trashiness of thy neighbor's kinks unless thy neighbor is trying to pass off their rotting banana peels and half-eaten pizza crusts as a healthy romantic dinner for two, off-topic comments may be chucked out of the dumpster at management's discretion, management's discretion decrees that omegaverse, soulbond AUs, D/s-verse, non-superpowered AUs, and dark!good guys AUs are off-topic.

not every survivor develops PTSD
(Anonymous) 2015-09-24 01:02 pm (UTC)(link)Steve and Bucky are both captured by Hydra, who subjects them to terrible amounts of torture, degradation, abuse, and rape. Eventually they're rescued, but not before serious horrors have been heaped upon them both.
Then, in the aftermath, one of them (no preference who) develops severe PTSD, and the other just... doesn't. Not that that person isn't hurting, but the trauma doesn't manifest in a way that fits a PTSD diagnosis, and perhaps isn't as severe as the way the PTSD-sufferer is experiencing. So imagine Steve and Bucky, one of them sleepless from nightmares, tense with hypervigilance, loaded with triggers, beset by flashbacks, in agony, feeling so so weak in comparison to the other, who is experiencing a weird survivor's guilt despite also having been victimized, and is probably ignoring and dismissing his own trauma because it's not as bad.

(Anonymous) 2015-09-25 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)Meanwhile, Steve is suffering these horrible nightmares and he flinches away whenever someone touches him without warning, and he's really confused about why Bucky isn't reacting the way he is. He starts to think that maybe he's overreacting and it really wasn't as bad as he thinks it is, or that he's weak for feeling this way. And you know how stoic Steve is. That'd make him work extra hard to suppress everything and act like he's fine.
I wonder if Steve knows about Bucky's past rapes though? Maybe Bucky's hidden this from him and the other avengers so that he can keep on Not Dealing With It. Or maybe he told Steve about it all nonchalant like, in an attempt to make it seem like he isn't that fucked up by it. Or maybe Steve and everyone else found out by accident when like a video clip or something of him being raped was released on the internet. But whatever the case, Bucky's blasé attitude about it just makes him doubt himself even more and he shuts in on himself and just suffers the anxiety in silence until he bursts

(Anonymous) 2015-09-28 01:10 am (UTC)(link)I like it both ways, though! Because if Steve is the one who's game-facedly soldiering on while Bucky breaks down, then we get Bucky who's suddenly faced with a fear confirmed: he really is weaker than other people. I imagine that Bucky's been repeatedly assured, by Steve in particular, that anyone subjected to the torture he was put through would also have been broken and molded into the Winter Soldier. Even Steve himself, the model of stubborn unbreakableness. It's not a weakness inherent in Bucky. Except apparently it is, because here's Steve, who has now been subjected to the same tortures, and he's... doing alright? While Bucky, who should be practiced at bearing this, is a disaster.
