CATWS 10th Anniversary | REJECTS!
» Prompt: none
» Title: how it makes you a weapon
» Reason for Rejection: I didn't have a specific prompt in mind when making this one, so it sort of got forgotten about. Although, now that I'm looking at this today, I guess Memories would have been a really clear choice. Huh.
a loving homage to A Softer World and @asofteravenger
made for the CATWS 10th Anniversary Celebration

darling bean @silver9mm tagged me... erm, a long time ago, to do this lil writing meme, and it’s actually a good thought exercise as I try to figure out a g.d. summary for the thing, so--
Rules: Write 10 words or phrases that have to do with your current wip, then tag 10 people to do the same.
for my upcoming big bang fic Black Cat Mercantile (posting on Wednesday!) -
Kind and well-meaning expectation can be paralyzing.
Introversion isn’t something to be solved, but loneliness is.
Feelings are dumb (but necessary).
when you assume you make an ass out of u and me, hoho [the chortling of dads alive and long-dead echoes through the internet]
Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.
Revolutionaries are brave--but there’s also a kind of brave which is just trying to make it through, day by day, and looking for brightness where you can find it. It’s okay to not have the wherewithal to fight.
Blind trust is just faith; trust that’s been proven and verified and earned isn’t as romantic, but it’s something you can actually rely on.
Power is power--and it solves all manner of problems, no matter how unfair that is.
Let Chekhov’s gun remain unfired--the fool shouldn’t leave bullets in his stupid weapon and then abandon it for any idiot to pick up.
If you want to enjoy the rewards of being loved, you also have to submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known.
hm--not sure I’m any closer to a summary, but it was interesting to think through the fic that way. Hope you guys will read it! Now--to tag otherbros:
@wetsammywinchester, @efflorescentjared, @alulaspeaks, @monicawoe, @evansrogerskitten, @chickcheney, @blindswandive, @anotherwinchesterfangirl, @winchestersinthedrift, @mollyamory-again
#writing#writing meme#some of those tags are blind and hopeful darts#that you might be writing--or thinking about writing!#now just to hope that people might read the big bang fic#(crossed fingers emoji)

Every time I ask for recs I get like the same 4 fics recced to me and I get it, they're very good, but there's got to be some good stuff that's been lost in the shuffle or passed under the radar. Any vastly underrated works so good they deserve to replace the MCU?
I gotchu!
How They Make You a Weapon - the comic by luckyraeve, monicawoe (complete | NA | M )
How They Make You a Weapon - the comic
Who Let You In?* by birdbrains (complete | 19,635 | T )
“Is he here?” Sam asked.“I don’t know,” said Steve. “I’m—hey, Bucky, are you here? Can you hear me?”“Or whatever you prefer to be called,” Sam put in.“Yeah,” Steve said. “It’s me, that dumb guy with all the problems? Remember me?”
///
New and “improved.”
The Diaries of Bucky Barnes by afterlifeoftheparty (complete | 15,208 | T )
“This young soldier was writing about war, but not only that. No, the most remarkable extracts from his diaries are the ones about emotions; those passages in which he writes about loss and pain and loyalty and love.”
When Bucky Barnes’ diaries are leaked in the 70s, reactions vary from one thing to another, even decades later.
Bad Becomes Worse by monicawoe (complete | 11,542 | M )
Good becomes great. Bad becomes worse.
Angsty Post-Zola Bucky and Steve. Really I just needed an excuse to write lots of sex in tents. With biting.
The Night War: 60th Anniversary Edition by praximeter (Zimario) (complete | 109,105 | T )
In 1947, Master Sergeant James B. Barnes’s surviving field journals were posthumously published as the classic war memoir The Night War. Now a high school history classroom mainstay and required reading at West Point, this highly anticipated 60th Anniversary Edition presents the original, unedited text alongside detailed historical notes that provide important context to the extraordinary wartime heroics of Captain America and the Howling Commandos.
Barnes, James B. The Night War: The Wartime Memoirs of a Howling Commando. Ed. Harold Miller. 60th Anniversary ed. New York: HarperCollins, 2005. Print.
Heirloom by HunterPeverell (complete | 12,185 | T )
5 times Steve Rogers lost himself to Captain America and 1 time Steve Rogers showed everyone who he truly was.
letters we never sent by newsbypostcard (complete | 5,955 | M )
In 1944, Steve finds a stack of letters Bucky wrote to him during the war and never sent. In 2014, Bucky finds the same from Steve (and then steals them out of the Smithsonian).
In 2016, they run out of time again.
It turns out that neither one of them can quite break the habit.
teach your man to fish* by silentwalrus (complete | 12,835 | T ) *selkie AU
Bucky doesn’t deign to stay in Stark Tower for much longer than it takes to completely clean out the kitchens’ fish supply. After slurping down the last oyster and sneering in disgust at the contents of the walk-in freezer, Bucky turns to Steve, pelt over his shoulder, and says, “Where do you live?”

When you wake again, there's a strange tingle on your left, much less painful than the throbbing from before. You remember falling, a trail of red in the snow, and the sound of a saw.
"Ah, wonderful, you're awake," says the voice from before. "How do you feel?"
You try to answer, moving your leaden jaw, get as far as wetting your lips.
The drugged fog starts to fade and you shift your shoulders in the chair they've strapped you to. There's a needle in your right arm and your left…your left is shining silver.
"What happened?" you ask, and this time your words are audible. "My arm…" It wasn't like that before. You're certain of that much at least. When you move your silver fingers, they respond more quickly, and you feel another spasm of pain travel up into your shoulder and through your chest.
"This will hurt also, but we need you conscious." He takes off his goggles and pulls his round glasses from the pocket of his lab coat. "My colleagues often forget that the mind is just as powerful a weapon as the body. I intend to make use of all of you."
Your gut sinks and any doubt you had as to the intentions of your saviors vanishes. You pull against the restraints, testing their hold. You right arm doesn't budge, but your left--your left one pulls at the cuff around your upper arm until it detaches from the chair with a snick.
"Now," says the voice.
There's a loud whining buzz by your head and something clamps down on your skull, pinning your head in place. You reach up, trying to stop the vice from closing. But your metal arm is too heavy, too slow. You smell ozone a moment before the discharge, and then fire floods your brain. You hear yourself screaming.
This fic has also been adapted as a comic! Find it at @howtheymakeyouaweapon

"Lovingly detailed dark!fic about the process by which Hydra turned Bucky into the Winter Soldier."
I don’t accept the headcanon or comic canon or whatever you want to call it about Nat and Bucky getting that close in the past. Not for the MCU. But other than that, this was so well written and beautiful and horrible that I have to share it. It really helped me get into Buck’s head as I’ve always had trouble picturing what his processes of becoming HYDRA’s slave was like. And then the end. The last couple chapters. Absolutely wasted me. So many beautiful details, so many times my heart tore even further open. So precious, the headcanons. That Bucky checked on Steve in the hospital, watched over him. Doesn’t feel needed. Bought the paper instead of the water. Ripped open the vending machine for some junk food because apparently it was food and he hadn’t eaten food in so long.
Just an intensely thoughtful, very real, very believable interpretation that honestly is probably 95% canon and not just headcanon.

Fic Writer Tag Game
Tagged by the lovely @denugis and @ameliacareful Thanks!
AO3 Name: monicawoe
Fandoms: My top 3 fandoms are Supernatural, MCU, and Venom, others include various Marvel comics and TV shows, Alien Covenant, Forever Knight, Good Omens, Hannibal, Legion (tv), Lucifer (comics), Preacher (tv), and The Mandalorian
Fic you spent the most time on: In terms of longest time spent writing? Probably Burdens Doublefold, co-written with @quickreaver just because it was such a beast of a fic: still my longest at ~67k words, and still one of my all-time faves.
The longest one from conception to actually completing the fic though was On His Head a Crown which I started thinking of while season 5 aired (back in 2009!) and then didn't write because canon went in such a different and also fascinating direction that I ended up writing more canon-adjacent fics at the time. This one veers off wildly from 5x03 with Sam as the Horseman Conquest, and was finally written last year as part of the Sam Winchester Big Bang featuring glorious art by @slytherkins. That means it actually took me a full ten years to get around to writing it. Glad I did though ; )
Fic you spent the least amount of time on: A tie between Letters of Resignation, a cracky collection of letters written from the POV of the demons killed by Sam during My Bloody Valentine and Hunt, the first Sharp Teeth fill I ever did for the prompt Wile E. Coyote finally catches the Roadrunner.
Longest fic: Burdens Doublefold, as noted above, a 67k retelling of seasons 1 & 2 co-written with @quickreaver, aka the fic where I wrote myself into shipping Sam/Brady forever.
Shortest fic: a 100 word BuckyNat poem Mirror
Most hits: How They Make You a Weapon at 18,619 , Winter Soldier POV beginning with Bucky being captured by Hydra through and beyond the end of CA:TWS) This is the only fic I've ever written in second person but I found it worked rather well for the Winter Soldier's POV accentuating his missing sense of self.
Most kudos: Ink at 2165, Venom (movie), Venom admires Eddie's tattoos.
Most comment threads: Also How They Make You a Weapon at 133, likely largely due to the fact that this was posted as a WIP, which I don't normally do, but at the time I felt a burning need to immediately share all of my Winter Soldier Bucky thoughts!
Fave fic you wrote: Wow that's a tough one. I love so many of them for so many different reasons. If I had to pick one favorite from my top three fandoms it would be:
MCU: Bad Becomes Worse. I suspect it might be one of the best (albeit angstiest) fics I've ever written, you tell me.
Supernatural: Counteroffer and its sequel The King's Guard - I still really love the unreliable narrator POV in the first one and the unsettling tone I think I achieved there, and as for the sequel, writing Sam as physically containing all of Hell was just so damn fun.
Venom: Wedding Party (because this one was just SO MUCH FUN to write!)
Fic you want to rewrite/expand on: So many. Early on in my spn fic-writing days I ended on cliffhangers a lot because that's what the show liked to do, and I myself enjoy the open-ended nature of them, but some of them really are begging for a sequel. If there's any particular one you'd like to see a time-stamp to let me know and I’ll likely add it to the list.
I am currently working on a sequel to my most recent Venom fic Many Thousand Feet Beneath because I'm told I can't just leave those biotech millipedes under San Francisco! (and you're right readers, you're right!) It will take me a bit longer because ::gestures at everything this year:: but I promise I'm on it!
Share a bit of your WIP or share a story idea that you’re planning: (see longish excerpt of my WIP of Kale!Sam / King of Hell Sam under the read more tag below)
Tagging : @wetsammywinchester , @slytherkins, @brendaonao3, @rokhal, @tigerlilynoh, @hafital
a WIP fill of a prompt for the 2020 round of Antichristmas: Sam Winchester's Birthday Prompt-fic extravaganza (still accepting prompts if you want to join the fun! fics due in May, for Sam’s birthday)
Sam stood in front of his new Mirror™ and smoothed down the front of his moisture-wicking tank top. He could feel the increased definition in his abs, but it wasn't quite where he wanted it to be. Not yet. He was, as ever, determined to be his best self. That's what he'd built his whole career on, and he had to embody it wholly.
"Alexa, start Mirror, play Morning Pilates," Sam said, getting into starting position on his PVC-free yoga mat.
He moved through the first three exercises with ease, looking forward to the upcoming side plank with grim eagerness. He'd been getting better at the advanced version and was confident he could hold the position perfectly. When the time came he held the form without any quivering in his arm or leg, so focused on using his core to hold himself still that it took him a few seconds to realize the mirror was glitching. Sam's reflection wasn't doing a pristine side-plank at all it was just standing there. And it was wearing a suit.
A suit he was pretty sure he didn't even own.
"Alexa, restart mirror," he snapped, annoyed at this interrupt. He could hold side-plank a long time, but likely not all the way through the restart and plus he wanted to make sure his other side got an equal amount of attention, and— The mirror hadn't turned off. A bright red line was flickering down the middle. And his reflection—still wearing a black suit with a dark maroon silk shirt—was looking right at him, a crooked smile creeping across its lips.
Unsettled, Sam pushed himself to his feet and moved to turn the damn thing off manually. He pressed himself up against the glass, reaching around the back with his left hand to find the reset button, and then the glass wriggled under him, and a hand grabbed him by the throat.
Sam choked as he was lifted two inches clear off the ground by himself. Or somebody who looked exactly like him. Except for the suit and his eyes which flashed golden-yellow just before he tossed Sam unceremoniously to the floor.

This comic is a chilling look at Bucky’s time as the Winter Soldier.

Hey there, I’m in the mood to cry. Any fics that are heart wrenching but with a happy ending? Thank you 🖤
Definitely check our angst with a happy ending tag. Also see if you like any of these:
i need a forest fire by tomorrowsrain (complete | 65,812 | T )
“The past beats inside me like a second heart. These fragments I have shored against my ruins.”
In which Tony Stark makes a reckless decision, becomes a wanted fugitive, goes on the run with the former Winter Soldier, and learns how to forgive. For his part, Bucky Barnes is just trying to hold himself together. AU, post-Civil War.
The Ungraceful Art of Falling* by buckyfuckybarnes (complete | 150,399 | E ) *very brief Bucky/OMC
Bucky Barnes was cold.He felt like he’d been cold for months now; doing nothing but experiencing one unending chill after another. He’d been cold in England, and again in Italy, and again especially in Austria – both while he was kept in an underground cell, and when he was strapped without cover to the unforgiving metal of Zola’s lab table.But Steve… Steve Rogers was sunshine. Everything about him was warm, from his crinkly-eyed smile to his white-hot rage. Steve was Coney Island on a summer’s day; lying back on high rooftops to watch fireworks on the 4th of July; drinking stolen whiskey in his parent’s living room…Loving Steve was a fact – simple and plain, like breathing air or bleeding red; loving Steve was soldered into his skin like a tattoo – it buzzed in his brain like its own kind of high. It was a part of who he was.
Bad Becomes Worse by monicawoe (complete | 11,542 | M )
Good becomes great. Bad becomes worse.
Angsty Post-Zola Bucky and Steve. Really I just needed an excuse to write lots of sex in tents. With biting.
4 Minute Window by Speranza (complete | 24,127 | E )
“Look, if they catch me,” Bucky muttered, “they’re either going to kill me or they’re going to put me in a box with a little window and—Steve, I can’t.”
I was wearing my blue coat* by Maelipstick for The anon who gave the idea of slutwalking Bucky (complete | 11,503 | E ) *discussion of past noncon
Following exposure of his past as the Winter Soldier, anonymous postings of explicit video footage, 63 charges of murder and the wrath of the Internet, James Buchanan “Bucky” Barnes finally steps into the limelight and tells his story to Zenat Patel of the New York Times.
despite the threatening sky and shuddering earth (they remained) bypraximeter (Zimario) ( WIP | 57,623 | M )
“They really didn’t want the mask to come off.” Hill thumbed through the scans, and pulled out a film that she then handed over to Sam, face mostly expressionless but for the flat line of her pursed lips.
Sam accepted the film and held it up to the light, angling so both he and Steve could see it, squinting at the outline of the Winter Soldier’s skull, and the blips of unnatural white that showed up, God, in his brain, not to mention about half his teeth, plus the mask, with its thin protrusions—
“Those are pins,” Steve realized. He looked over at Hill. “The mask—it’s nailed to his face.”
Hill’s face was as unmoved as ever. “Like I said. They really didn’t want it coming off.”
i was found and now i don’t roam these streets by hipsterchrist (complete | 15,613 | M )
They’ve decided to start producing Bucky Bears again, now that he’s all shiny and redeemed and fighting for good on this big Avengers misfits team. “He has a little shiny gray arm,” Bucky says, wiggling the stuffed arm in question, one of the tweaks made in the new model. It takes Steve a second to realize that Bucky’s got a small smile on his face, actually looks a little bit proud around the eyes.
Or, Bucky relearns himself and how to be on a team, the rest of the Avengers try to get answers, and everyone watches too much Criminal Minds.
trade me for an apparition by endofadream (WIP | 18,809 | M )
Before they strap him to the table they bring Mission: Steven Grant Rogers–aka Captain America–to the Asset. In his tattered civilian clothes, bleeding and bruised and unconscious, he looks nothing like the legend. Asset does not care about that. It has been promised a new weapon, and that is all that it sees here.
There Is No Shortage of Blood* by alby_mangroves, Dira Sudis (dsudis) (WIP | 144,696 | E ) *discussion of past noncon ; self harm ; suicidal thoughts ; violence
The long slow recovery of Bucky Barnes after his escape from HYDRA.
(And the longer, slower recovery of his sex life.)
The Ties That Bind* by Odsbodkins (complete | 26,609 | E ) *abo
In the eyes of God, Steve Rogers was dead. He was still breathing, still walking around, but he was dead.
This fic is my attempt at a functioning A/B/O universe, since most stories with this premise leave me wondering how the society could have developed to modernity with all the issues raised by heats/bonding/male pregnancy. Steve Rogers is learning to cope without his bond-mate in the 21st century, and deal with the new threats the century throws at him.
tabula rasa* by dance_at_bougival (complete | 10,390 | unrated ) *vague mention of noncon ; torture ; brief Winter Soldier/Black Widow
Bucky Barnes screamed himself hoarse on that table and screamed falling off that train. He screamed when they programmed him and screamed and screamed until he isn’t Bucky Barnes anymore, not really. He is still screaming, a trapped rat running around a labyrinthine machine, clawing at the doors and running into dead ends. He has been screaming for seventy years.
Heirloom by HunterPeverell (complete | 12,185 | T )
5 times Steve Rogers lost himself to Captain America and 1 time Steve Rogers showed everyone who he truly was.

Newest Additions:
Interstitial Light - After Thanos wiped half of life off the planet, the remaining Avengers find a way to reach out to those they lost, using a combination of Stark-Tech, magic and their own memories. Steve makes contact with Bucky, but they spent too many decades apart when Steve was on ice. But there was somebody else who knew Bucky during that time—who trained with him, who knew both the Winter Soldier and James Barnes: Natasha. | 6k, Natasha, Bucky
Stumble and Fall Into You - Three months ago, Steve’s world shattered. SHIELD had been infiltrated by Hydra, people he trusted turned out to be enemies, and Bucky, who he thought he’d lost in 1944, had been alive this whole time. Steve tries to get back to some kind of normalcy, but Bucky is always on his mind, and lately he’s been seeing him everywhere. | 5k, Steve/Bucky
