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

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.

I love how Bucky's reading of what I feel safe assuming is an established consensual relationship between Sam and Steve just fits every act into a framework he knows. The broken fingers I assume were something Steve asked for and Sam reluctantly agreed to and the chair is the consequence of the sex pollen requested in the prompt?

Also, Bucky's inability to come to "the asset's" rescue until he sees him crying. Bucky is confused. He's not ready to see Steve and he knows it. But now circumstances have forced them together in a truly unfortunate manner.

Beautiful. Kudos!

Wait, sorry, it's a lab bench. The chair was Steve imagining himself in Bucky's place and Sam getting mad at him for insisting on doing that to himself?

(a!a) Hah, yes, sorry if that was confusing—the chair was a different and earlier occasion. Re: sex pollen, the lab bench/bunker were actually specified in the prompt! This is a full service joint. ;)

I don't think we have enough information to say why Sam was mad, or if he even really was—Bucky's account is not the most reliable—but in my imagination Sam is by now thoroughly acquainted with and unimpressed by Steve's emotional masochism, and something less than shocked at his wanting to lie in the chair and imagine himself in Bucky's place. To the extent he was angry rather than just upset, I think he was angry at what was done to Bucky—angry right along with Steve, rather than at him.

...what I feel safe assuming is an established consensual relationship between Sam and Steve. Oh man, I love this comment—it makes me think of the sketch of a much darker story, where it turns out to be (a) not Sam, and/or (b) not consensual. (Maybe it's been decided that enhanced individuals can't be trusted to operate on their own, and need the supervision of handlers? A pretty small step for the government that went all floating-raft-prison at the least provocation. Maybe Sam stepped up as the least bad option? The lone and level vistas of fuckery stretch far away.) But naw, you're right, it's totally both. :D

Thanks so much for reading and commenting!

SA, Yes, similar really dark scenarios did occur to me, but I didn't think something truly not consensual would be the case given the conventions of the meme?

But, given what I do know of the characters and frequent plot points, that was my best guess as to what Bucky was actually seeing.

Excuse me while I admire the phrase "lone and level vistas of fuckery". It's...so beautiful.

(a!a; ayrt) :D
