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 thiiiink I can see how this could be trash in keeping with the meme (like if, when it comes to sex/relationships he’s just reflecting his partner’s feelings back at them, i.e if they’re enthusiastic for sex he mimics that, or something along those lines), but... I don’t understand the “they really hope he’ll stop crying soon” bit?

omg this is what comes from living in the dumpster too long, i just assumed the trashy background.

i was thinking of some or all of the following
- hydra manipulating WS mirror instincts to make it want sex or to be more submissive/obedient/frightened during
- hydra trying out varying levels of sensory deprivation that make it impossible for WS to defend itself in this last way
- the WS getting punished for trying to mimic a handler or higher, making it more scared and trying to mimic them more accurately

and then the levels of repressed emotions in a room with the Avengers would probably really fuck him up, especially how they'd feel upon seeing him. from Sam's sympathy and heartbreak to Natasha's regret and sorrow to Bruce's fear to Captain The-A-Is-For-Anguish Sadness Errands himself. the only reasonable thing a mirror in the room could do would be to break down.

and they'd probably figure he was starting to process his trauma and his escape and face up to being safe, with no idea just how far they had to go.
