You know what, the ‘suddenly, there’s 5 more Winter Soldiers’ subplot
has gotten a lot of flack, and I don’t disagree that it could and should have been handled a lot better, but even as it is, I really really like what it says, or rather, confirms about
Bucky.

Drawing #2 in my horrible #Winter Cyborgs AU. [RoboHipster haircuts INTENSIFY] Drawing #1 is HERE. There is also a fanfic for this AU, courtesy of the lovely monicawoe, HERE.
No matter how far Bucky runs, or how much progress he makes in rebuilding his life, he can’t shake the feeling that Hydra are following him and working to control him again.
I couldn’t stop myself – I just had to give him a pin with Steve’s wings for his jacket ;).
So someone on the Shrinkyclinks tag was like “skinny!steve given to the winter soldier tho”
and I was like yeeeeeeee
Hydra figures out a way to de-serum Steve and proceeds to make the fatal mistake of underestimating him. They think just cuz he’s tiny, he won’t be a threat. They think if they take away his voice and humiliate him by carving their sigil into his chest, he’ll lose the will to fight. They think giving him to whats left of his best friend will break his spirit.
they are so fucking wrong
Steve bides his time and when the moments right, he dismantles Hydra from the inside. They never should’ve underestimated Steve and they never should’ve let him near the weapon he’s known how to fire since childhood; Bucky goddamn Barnes
Here’s your soundtrack!

And happy reading to all who have patiently waited for the fic to be complete before diving in. 🙂
In a fandom with many beautiful stories where the narrator or the information they hold as truth may be unreliable, this is something I think is unique and special. Brightwork just finished posting today, and it’s a story I’ve followed with interest since it began. notoska takes a fascinating ‘what if?’ premise and teases it out over twenty-two chapters as the characters travel around the world, tracking down the remnants of Hydra and finding tiny pieces of the puzzle. There’s a tension that runs through the whole story that’s equal to any conspiracy thriller, and the reveal, when it finally happens, is so small and subtle that you’d be forgiven for thinking it completely opaque unless you’ve got a very good memory for minutiae (or you do what I do, dig back into the story and find the answer) and realise its profound significance. It’s not a story for people who need everything wrapped up in a bow or are unsatisfied with open endings, but for those of you (like me) who love a story for the beauty of its construction, for those who love seeing characters struggle and don’t need to see them triumph, just survive, for those who like to see Steve, Bucky, Sam and Natasha questioning everything they know, then this story is for you.
Villain Steve. HAIL HYDRAAAAA
Hydra Steve!Clone and the Winter Soldier in the battle field.
Headofporridge suggested the clone cannot speak because Hydra surgically removed his vocal cords after the Winter Soldier “malfunctioned” and fatally wounded a lot of their staff due to the sound of the clone’s voice. Either way, he probably uses a combination of ASL and military signing on the field because it is imperative they both remain unseen and unheard.
I like the idea of Clone!Steve being the sniper and the Winter Soldier the brutal force, because eeee role reversals. Also, the Winter Soldier seems less built for stealth and more for absolute carnage, with the guns and machinery he’s packing. It stands to reason the weaker and smaller (for now) Clone!Steve would be his backup from afar, fatally silencing anyone who sees the Winter Soldier.
ALL THE SIGN LANGUAGE/ASL/NONVERBAL HEAD CANONS. ALL OF THEM.

As a supervillain supercriminal contract worker with a morality deficit, Clint Barton leads a glamorous life. You know, stolen cars, dangerous women, a really confusing relationship with a meddling do-gooder, the works. It’s pretty awesome. Except for, uh, medical bills, the mob, and being on the run all the time. That part isn’t all that awesome.
(A supervillain AU where Clint shoots arrows at people and gets beat up a lot. So, not really that much of an AU.)
Okay, I usually don’t single recs out, but this fic, guys, it is SO GOOD. It is incredibly funny and ever so sightly cracky in the best of ways. It’s got the failboaty Clint Barton that we know and love, he’s just working for the other side. He’s Deaf, he’s a bit of a manslut, he’s kinky, and he loves what he does (even if it does wind him up hurt nine times out of ten), and he’s got the gang of Bucky, Natasha, Kate and Lucky around him to get him on his feet again. It’s got sign language. It’s got ridiculous comic book fights, inadvisable hookups, and a lot about the grey (sexy) line between heroism and villainy. It’s got a bit of violence and a bit of fairly kinky sex with various partners, but those scenes are short and I don’t think it’s hugely explicit, and even if kink isn’t your thing I really think this fic is well worth reading. It’s about so, so much more than bedroom shenanigans and it’s just so much fun that I think you’ll like it even if a Clint who likes being slapped around a bit isn’t your thing. I don’t remember the last time I read a fic where I had to stop so many times to literally laugh out loud.

Maria Hill irritably recruiting the latest batch of SHIELD
minionsinterns.“Earn $45K a year or for as long as you manage to avoid catching a bullet with your face."
"Medical and dental and the occasional accidental chemical exposure that might turn you into the next Bruce Banner! And if you think that’s a perk you should work in R&D.”
“Free housing as long as you don’t mind living in Hawkeye’s building. He’s a shit landlord but his dog is cute.”
“You get to be in the vicinity of pretty people like Captain America, Thor and me. Mostly me. Yelling at you. Occasionally Agent Carter. Also yelling at you.”
“Lower level interns may only refer to Agent Romanoff by her codename: Black Widow. Only agents with level 6 or above clearance may refer to her as She Who Doesn’t Fucking Clean The Microwave After Her Hot Pocket Explodes All Over It Jesus Fuck.”
“There’s no glamour in spying, people. Long hours. Shady missions. Morally dubious choices that will keep you up at night, eating at your soul from the inside out. On the plus side, you will be assigned a catsuit and they make your ass look great.”
"After the whole Hydra incident, everyone who was sorted into Slytherin in Pottermore is officially banned from recruitment … what do you mean that’s not a rigorous personality test."
