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.

oh god.

I love the feeling of endgame here, that palpable feeling that everything is going to come to a head and it's not going to be pretty. And the Soldier, just clinging to the possibility of keeping Steve for a moment longer. I wonder if this is the first time he feared the Chair out of wanting to care for someone else rather than "just" losing his own memories. You have done such a good job of portraying that these are still good guys in bad circumstances. What makes the Soldier different from all the other HYDRA people, is that when he is shown even the tiniest bit of human decency, he repays it with humane actions of his own. The kindness has to be literally burned out of him with electricity, or dulled by drugs.

I am so afraid of what's going to happen. Does Steve already know that Bucky is WS? Will the Soldier get a last chance with Steve before they put him in the chair? How will Steve react when facing the chill of the Winter Soldier?

My heart is pre-emptively breaking.

On another note, I love that the things that Steve shares here, despite its honesty, is still so clearly different from the rawness of delirious!Steve. Delirious!Steve had no filter and shared things that he probably never told Bucky. Whereas here, Steve considers his every move. Hnnng I just love your character portrayals so much. <3 <3 <3
