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.

EXACTLYYY

I love your ideas. Especially the hot dogs one. And yes, the implication was intentional; the idea of him trusting a single person to tell him the truth after he escapes is Too Good, and of course it would be Steeb. Maybe before he escaped it was always one person at a time?

I'm also tempted to have at least one non-Steve person *after* he escapes trying to feed him bullshit. Maybe a good guy being sarcastic/joking (not dark good guys, mod, just good guys saying the exact wrong thing on accident)? Or maybe an evil!OC.

Also imagine him reading a fictional book and just being like "but Steve said..." but the book has its own, consistent rules and he starts to doubt that anything outside it is real. He rereads it dozens of times, trying to find a flaw in its reasoning, but he can't. Or the book *doesn't* contradict anything Steve's said (that's even worse, isn't it...) and he ends up believing in ghosts or lightsabers or what-have-you without any cognitive dissonance. Also consider: him finding the SCP Foundation.

"Steve cautiously rubbing his back" I AM HERE FOR THIS

Also building on your hot dog idea: "Of course humans taste good, Steve. They've got all that nutrition. Especially the eyes, but I was never allowed to eat them before. Can I try them, Steve? Next time I kill someone?" And Steve has to say no and Bucky is crying because they'd always say "maybe next time you'll get to" and even when he's free he still can't have that.

"Bucky starts getting really embarrassed asking Steve all these incredibly obvious/bizarre questions so he keeps trying to do research on his own, getting more and more confused and suspicious of everything he finds, which ends in some kind of horrifying meltdown/spillover of all Bucky's paranoid fears"

I am so, so here for this. You have no idea. Bucky learning to act like people is my favorite, and Bucky learning about the modern world and drawing fucked-up conclusions is my favorite, and memory-loss!constantly-lied-to!Bucky is my ULTIMATE FAVORITE and yeah basically this is my trash jam here. Thank you so much for responding.

different anon here, just had a thought:

what if bucky starts asking moral questions of steve as he recovers and tries to understand the world. not just 'do cats really have poisonous fangs?' but also 'hydra said that the american democracy was a sham, is that true?'

'is communism actually bad?'

'is the death penalty evil or not?'

'is a strike soldier who killed more bystanders than necessary in a paranoid attempt to avoid mission failure and formal disciplinary action a bad person? what if that strike soldier was me?'

YES

He's not used to thinking for himself, is how I think of it, and that would totally bleed over onto moral questions. Thank you for giving me that glorious image. In fact, if the main focus of a fill were the moral aspect, I would be a very happy trashbaby indeed.

And wow, your examples, my heart is breaking all over again...

(I'm so happy that I'm getting responses. I thought this kink might be unpopular, or that it might not be considered trashy enough? But institutional gaslighting is *totally* trashy enough. I don't know what I was worrying for...)
