Dumpster #4: I Don't See How That's a Party

[trashmod]

Okay, kids, you know the drill. Don't be a jerk except to fictional characters. Warn if you want, but read at your own risk, because hydratrashmeme is about as far from a safe space as you can get. Garbage we like: noncon, whump, aftermath, violence, mind control, inappropriate uses of Bucky Barnes' metal arm, bad guys doing dirtybadwrong things to your faves. Garbage you should find a different trashcan for: a/b/o, D/s-verse, soulbonds, mundane AUs, OOC evil!good guys doing dirtybadwrong things to your faves, rotting leftovers dressed up as a romantic gourmet meal. Nothing wrong with 'em, but this isn't the crowd you should be pitching to if you're trying to sell Brock Rumlow as anything but a human dumpster fire.

Link your fills on the fill post, post unprompted fills as replies to a header comment so the wall o' text is collapsible, and let me know if you're interested in helping out with the Pinboard archive.

Mission Report / Memory issues

[(Anonymous)]

HYDRA has Bucky programmed such that, once he's made a mission report, he forgets about the mission (so the intel is super safe!) Conversely, anything that he doesn't report on, he retains every single detail.

No one has asked for a mission report on his "recreational" missions.

I'd be very interested in:
- a recovering Bucky realizing that the only way to move on from these memories is to make "mission reports" to someone. Who would he choose to report to?
- the reactions of the person (or people) he reports to.
- the transfer of burden with these reports: now that person (or people) are saddled with very detailed knowledge of what happened at a specific trash party, but Bucky doesn't remember it ever happening.

Also related, and possible worth exploring:
- Does this hold true for the non-HYDRA years? As in, does Bucky forget about an Avengers mission after he reports on it? Does he forget about having sex with Steve after he talks about it? Does it create a taciturn Bucky who doesn't want to talk about memories because he wants to save them?
