Dumpster #5: We didn't start the trashfire

Welcome to the latest, greatest, scummiest iteration of [community profile] hydratrashmeme. Come on in and please check your sense of shame at the door.

Rules in brief: Don't be a jerk except to fictional characters. Warn if you want, but read at your own risk, because this is emphatically not a safe space. Link your fills on the fill post. Unprompted fills: make a prompt or a header comment and reply to it with the full text. Continuations of fills from earlier rounds: just make sure you link in both places.

What's on-topic: Filthy and perverted twists on all the quality whump served up by Cap: Winter Soldier. Noncon, aftermath, uncomfortably sexualized violence, mind control, inappropriate uses of Bucky Barnes' metal arm, bad guys doing dirtybadwrong things to your faves.
What's off-topic: a/b/o, D/s-verse, soulbonds, mundane AUs, shippy/romanticized noncon, MCU heroes repurposed into OOC or edgydark delivery vehicles for your fave's suffering. If you've got a prompt for one of those burning a hole in your brain, head on over to [community profile] mcu_trash.

burden of choice

(Anonymous) 2018-11-24 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
This is like my third prompt this week. Forgive me for flooding the trash board. I'm just inspired.

In order to form Bucky into the Winter Soldier, Hydra doesn't only teach him the loss of bodily autonomy - they also make him associate choice and voicing anything that even remotely resembles an opinion with pain. Every time Bucky gets tortured, they give him a choice between two bad alternatives: Getting beat with fists or getting kicked in the stomach, getting whipped with a cane or a bullwhip, getting raped by one or two men, and so on. Whatever choice Bucky makes, Hydra makes sure that it's always the wrong one. They twist their words around, treat him more horribly than he could have imagined, and then insist that he's the one who asked for it in the first place.
After a while Bucky starts to doubt himself so much that he asks others to chose for him and then stops giving his opinion entirely. When he's finally free from Hydra, he still struggles with basic decision making and relies on others to guide him.
I hope this last bit is not wandering too close to bad guy territory:
Bucky finally gets so angry about everything he went through and how much it still effects him that he goes on a revenge spree, offering his Hydra tormentors a choice between different ways to die before he kills them (or maybe he just makes them believe they're about to die and releases them after the choice is made - that's fine, too)
