What are your fave post-cap2 stevetony fics? Xx

brandnewfashion:

There aren’t very many, but a few do come to mind: 

Favorable Winds by RurouniHime is probably the first post-Cap 2 fic I read that I really, really enjoyed.  I love fics told from another person’s POV because we can see how an outsider feels about their relationship, and this was done beautifully.  Also, she’s one of my favorite authors in the Steve/Tony fandom, so you should check other fics as well! 

From the Past by sara_holmes is another fic that deals with Steve visiting Tony while looking for Bucky.  Half of it is rough sex, but the other half is really sweet. 

Iron Man: Director of S.W.O.R.D. by Pookaseraph is a long fic (about 75k) that quickly became one of my favorites.  I loved it because the way she depicted the relationship between the two of them was very believable given the whole “oh crap, there’s no more SHIELD, what do we do about global security now?” situation.

Blueberry Waffles and Fireworks is much less serious than the others, and definitely more of a crack-y read, but still very enjoyable.

I also wrote I’m Ready to Lose (Everything but You) which deals with Tony coming to see Steve in the hospital right after the events of the movie. 

I haven’t read the others yet, but I know for a fact that Iron Man: Director of SWORD is AMAZING. So if you like long, plotty awesomeness with slow burn, you should go read it.

JUST NOTICED LAST NIGHT THAT BUCKY WAS ALSO ON A DRIP IN THE ENTIRE CHAIR SCENE

I know it’s a fucked up scene, I do, but that to me just is nOPE. What the fuck are they putting into his system on top of the mind wiping and the physical abuse and the conditioning. 

wait, what?

THE TUBE ON THE BACK OF HIS RIGHT HAND, IS THAT A DRIP?

Dr. Cyan calling in here, and yes, that is absolutely a peripheral IV cannula on his right hand. Watching the scene carefully you can see the IV stand on his right, with two infusion bags attached (sorry for the crappy images, maybe someone can grab a better screenshot if they have the DVD):

If you watch frame by frame, you can see that Bucky pops the connection tube off when he attacks the med tech; it dangles freely from the IV bag when the guards move to point their guns at him. In real life he’d probably have torn the cannula out of his hand entirely; it happens all the time with little old ladies in my ER so I was disappointed the directors didn’t draw on that particular body horror/’ouch’-factor here.

The infusion bags appear to be one 1,000 mL isotonic saline or D5W/D5NS (dextrose/glucose in a saline solution) for tissue rehydration, and one 500 mL isotonic saline, most likely a diluent for injectable/parenteral drug administration:

Which drug? Well, it could be any HYDRA concoction, but I’d put my money on the tried-and-true fallback of some benzodiazepine. BZDs/derivatives are anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing), hypnotic (sedative/sleep-inducing), anticonvulsant (good for when you’re electrocuting someone’s brain), amnestic (affecting memory), and myorelaxant (muscle-relaxing), a nice cocktail for working with the Winter Soldier – and hey! paradoxical BZD reactions include aggression and violence (such as attacking attending medical staff), and it may also cause anterograde amnesia as well as internalised feelings of turmoil, anxiety, depression, and loss of the ability to experience and/or express feelings. Plus, withdrawal can cause depression, depersonalisation, derealisation, hypersensitivity, psychosis, and suicidal ideation – sounds like a lot of Bucky-in-from-the-cold fanfics, am I right?

Seriously, writing this, I’m wondering where the withdrawal!Bucky fanfics are – the fics I’ve read all focus on his mental issues, but what about the physiological ones? I’d really like to read a fic about Bucky coming off whatever HYDRA pumped him full of – now that’d make for some neat hurt/comfort (and a lot of curling up on Steve’s bathroom floor shaking and puking his guts out).

(When I get my hands on a HD copy of the movie I’ll have a look at the rest of the medical setup in that scene. I’m especially interested in the screens behind the chair – maybe some more medical meta to be explored? Please send any screenshots my way if you have them!)

Hey, zooeyscigar – angsty fic reference here!
