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.

[Rules in full] [Round 1] [Round 2] [Round 3] [Fill post] [Chatter post] [hydratrashmeme Pinboard archive (maintained by greenkirtle)] [Round 4 in flat view (comments in non-threaded chronological order, most recent last)]

All prompts or fills that contain Infinity War spoilers must go on the Infinity War spoiler post until May 26th. Spoilers in the main dumpsters will be deleted.

Round 4 is closed; comments and fills in existing threads are still welcome, but all new prompts go to Round 5.

Authoranon, you're killing me here.
"He could only guess, but sometimes he felt like a prisoner himself, so he tapped into those feelings that he ordinarily shut out very carefully."
"Still, the Soldier put on a good American"
“A while. Not sure. Feels like decades.”
OH BUCKY.


I love all the subtle power stuff here -- The Soldier feels like he has the power in the situation, not realizing that he's as much at the whim of HYDRA as Steve (and simultaneously, not recognizing his ability to defy HYDRA if he ever thought to do it). And Steve has the power to move the Soldier with kindness.

And all the little hints of the Soldier's fears -- the witholding of food, the removal of the arm. Being stuck in this facility and not seeing the outside. The lab.

And STEEB! So kind, so smart, so feisty... <3 <3 <3

Thank you so much for reading and for those observations. I'm so glad the characterization is being well-received.
