Dumpster #3: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch

[trashmod]

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.

I think the thing that really breaks me about this update is the fact that the consent issue has gotten worse, and Steve's *still not noticing*. Bucky's saying yes to things outside of sex just to get the conversation to stop, and whereas before everything broke down Bucky might be honest to Steve about not going to class, or not planning to talk to his therapist, he just can't, right now, because the most fundamental part of his understanding is broken. He can't promise to say no to other people because he can't comprehend his body as his, but that's what Steve wants to hear, so he says it. Because it's easier than trying to wrap his head around it. Just like how mourning Bucky Barnes is easier, too.

James kind of had this big moment of damn-the-consequences honesty, where he asked Steve to sit with him and tried to get Steve to hug him and finally asked Steve for a kiss - and it backfired so spectacularly that he just can't anymore. As you say, his understanding is just broken. :( And the conversation is so painful for him by that point that he'll say anything to make it stop.

Just like how mourning Bucky Barnes is easier, too. And that's hard enough! But still, yes - easier for James than saying it happened to me.
