HTP Fic Recs: Hidden Gems

Have you, like me, devoured everything in the Hydra Trash Party AO3 tag and are desperate for more? Well you may be in luck.

In honor of CATWS's 10th anniversary I’ve decided, yet again, to make a new rec list so that these gems don't get buried in my overwhelmingly extensive original rec list. This list features HTP and HTP-adjacent fics that are NOT tagged as HTP (either because the author didn't know the label existed or didn't believe it applied to their fic), making them particularly hard to find, and I think, deserving of more attention.

Many of these fics don’t have much, if any, explicit noncon, but noncon is often implied or referenced and they’re all rife with other types of dehumanization and abuse so the usual HTP warnings still apply. Read tags carefully etc.

The Making of the Winter Soldier [series] by CluckU & Mumble_Bee Relationship: Hydra Agents/WS, Zola/WS Words: 13,700

There are a small, precious collection of things he knows for certain each time he wakes in his chair: He is a weapon. A soldier. An asset. He is being molded into the Fist of Hydra. He must prove himself. Failure is not an option.

Muscle Memory by sparklingbinjuice Relationship: Rumlow & Bucky Words: 4500

It had taken five minutes of fumbling but he had eventually picked the lock. The soldier wouldn’t be back for hours. Coordinates provided by the remaining, somewhat rudimentary, tracking device installed in the titanium arm indicated that he wandered the streets on weekends – watching people, visiting libraries and museums, feeding the birds. It was all so horribly human.

Reconquer, regain, recover by werebird Relationship: Hydra Agents/WS (past) Words: 2300

Hydra had known his body better than he himself ever could. They had taken it, reshaped it, reprogrammed it. They had birthed the Winter Soldier although they had never given him life.

Taming Winter by Runlights Relationship: Rumlow & WS, Steve & Bucky Words: 91,000 Notes: terrifying bloodthirsty WS

Regardless of the intravenous set pumping warming fluids into those veins, regardless of the fact that a moment ago, the guy looked on the verge of death, the Winter Soldier was out of the chair and in front of him with two steps that happened so quickly he didn’t even have time to do more than inhale. He froze as he felt the press of his own combat knife against his throat, the bite of the blade causing blood to well and slip down his throat. This was the point where he suspected people felt fear, especially staring into those unfocused cold eyes. He only felt a twisted fascination.

The Soldier’s Kittens by exclamation Relationship: Sam & Bucky, Steve & Bucky Words: 11,300 Notes: animal abuse/death

"Sam's a really good guy," Steve said. "I think you'd like him if you spent more time with him." Bucky said nothing. He would not show any interest in Sam, just as he had not shown any interest when Steve had taken him to the animal shelter to try and get him to interact with the dogs there. He knew this trap and he wouldn't fall into it twice.

Flinching by Exorin Relationship: Steve/Bucky Words: 570

It might finally break what's left of him if Steve knew the way he's had to dig his nails into his palms hard enough to draw blood just to shape his breath into the sound of a moan.

I'm comin' up only to hold you under by anonymous Relationship: Hydra Agents/Bucky, Steve/Bucky (past) Words: 2100

They drag him out of his cell by his hair and toss him into a room full of identical guards. He lands hard on his knees, the force of the impact stuttering up his weak, tired body, and he glares up and them with all the hatred he can gather. He feels off-balance, like he does whenever he tries to carry himself now—the stump of his missing arm has a phantom weight he can't get used to, won't get used to.

Context is Everything by thedevilchicken Relationship: Hannibal/Bucky Words: 2600

"I don't understand," Bucky replied. "Recontextualize?" "Your memories of HYDRA seem…distant," Hannibal said. "The way you speak about them is as if they happened to someone else. In order to process your trauma, you must understand that they happened to you."

Never Letting the Blood Dry by BarrenPines Relationship: Rumlow & WS, Steve & Bucky Words: 2500 Notes: whipping

After the mission, there were pats on the back, expressions of congratulations and thanks, and a dozen other little niceties that made his skin crawl. He’d gotten lucky, that’s all. And he’d also defied orders, departed from his assigned task. Praise wasn’t what he deserved.

My. Sounds like a love story.

It’s FIC REC TIME: Upside down at sunset by this amazing author @unwepts

I am absolutely emotional about this particular work by the author, and i just had to make art on it :)

[iamamythologicalcreature]

"Maybe... Maybe a couple times a day."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY @facewithoutheart! I didn't actually plan this, but I drew this picture over the weekend because I loved your fanfic and that imagery completely stuck with me. And then WHAT it's your BIRTHDAY? How cool is THAT? So I dressed it up a bit and now it's a birthday gift! XD

This is a bit of fanart for a scene in the last chapter of "Boulders Turn Into Sand," which you should immediately go read right now if you haven't already. I waited until it was finished to read it all (I'm delicate sometimes *ahem*) and getting to read it straight through was such a treat!

This bit of imagery from the last chapter really stuck with me, so I knew I had to draw it. (Actually, @facewithoutheart posted this snippet on a wipsday I think, and it's what made me hop over to AO3 and get reading in the first place.) I just adore Simon and Baz in this. The whole thing, I mean. But also this scene. <3

Excerpt below the cut, to avoid spoilers!

“You know, you haven’t said it.” He picks at the collar as we walk to our favourite restaurant. “You’ll stretch the fabric.” I swat his hand away. “And said what?” He kicks a rock, scuffing his good leather boots. (I let it go.) “That you love me.” “Of course I love you.” Simon kicks another rock. “You know I love you.” He shrugs. “Simon.” I thread my fingers through his and oh. The blush that blooms over his cheeks makes his freckles stand out like sunlight glinting off precious gems. “I love you.” Using his other hand, he pulls up the collar to hide his chin and mouth, stretching out the fabric irrevocably. No one else will ever be able to wear it. (I can still see his blush.) Good. “Does it help to hear it, love?” His nose rubs against the cotton blend when he nods. “I’ll say it, then. Every day.” “Maybe,” the words come out muffled through the fabric covering his mouth, “maybe a couple times a day.” Finally, he pulls the collar back under his chin, making these next words come out clear. “Just until I’m used to it.”

DO YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN? All the hearts!

I hope you like my depiction, Christina! And I hope today has been (and continues to be) a truly awesome birthday for you! Thanks for gifting us with your amazing fic!

i wanted to ask which of your fics is your favorite, if you had one? and also if you have any fic recs of your own?

i love this ask! thank you!!

ooo fun question… i have to say my blair witch fic out of obligation i think lol. that universe and story is going to stay w me forever i think.. however i feel like my writing even within a year has gotten so much stronger so perhaps one day i will go back and make better idk. but i am still happy w it and proud that i accomplished it - its the longest fiction piece i’ve ever written, and the first fanfic i wrote thru to the end - all other attempts had been abandoned or deleted so it really boosted my confidence as a writer. okaY rambling on moving on

fic recs! pretty much all my recs in my book marks 

recent fave a one shot by boycattj - no longer wound up like a spring - cannibal byler, bones and all inspired. Love!!!! super beautiful writing i aspire to.

another recent fave - the evening speaks by nbfutureboy - radio host mike, artist will ! oh wow so good. i loved how they wrote mike most especiallyyyy

was recently talking about - i know why the caged bird sings by AabH ! What An Au! (and honestly everything by this author)

at the time of sight by olliecoddle. one of my fave faves. hits everything for me and vv excited for their big bang fic this year.

a fic i forgot about but just found in my bookmarks - i should be over all the butterflies, but i’m still into you by cannibalismyuri - what a fun one <3 mike writes poetry and doesn’t hide his muse well :)

uuuuhhh i'll leave it there could keep listing lol but we’d be here all day

[destiel-wings]

What if Dean confessed here?

My fic where he does hit 1000 hits today and I'm so proud 💖

Maybe I'll write a sequel someday, but in the meantime, mind the tags, it's angsty.

[crappymixtape]

REQUEST: eddie x angst fic rec -> okay, so here are a few eddie x angst fics i've read lately that i'm obsessed with! hope you love them too

eddie's new girlfriend – @neonghostlights ( you go over to eddie's trailer to finally tell him, your best friend, how you really feel about him • eddie munson x reader, just pure angst )

January Under 1000 Fic Rec!

an abundance of mango by squijim

"You ordered a venti vanilla cold brew with TWENTY FOUR pumps of mango? Why?!" "I wanted her to remember me," Adrien mumbles, sinking further into his seat. Nino snorts and takes a sip of his coffee. "Mission accomplished." (coffeeshop!au in which Adrien is a pining mess, Marinette is amused, and Nino is witness to this mess). Words: 2.5K Rating: T Status: Complete

@flightfoot has been doing some great end of year rec lists for you to check out and it got me considering what I could do to be better about reccing fics, which lead to this idea! Every month this year, I'll rec a miraculous fic with under 1000 kudos. Why 1000? Because I think that a lot of people (understandably) focus on reading the popular stuff, leading to many a great fic getting lost in the pile. In the Miraculous fandom, you have to go over 100 pages into the work list to fall below 1000 kudos, so it seemed like a reasonable cutoff, though most of these fics will be much lower than that.

Feel free to play along and tag me if you do so I can reblog your recs! If you want to do this for another fandom, be sure to calibrate your kudo limit! Miraculous is a huge one, so I set my limit way higher than I would have in other fandoms.

Binderary book #2! A bind of a very short fic, moments lost, moments gained by @commodorecliche and Dervila. I asked permission to bind this way back in December, but with the holidays and moving apartments in January it got pushed back till now. I'm glad it's finally done. It's a great little fic (little for this kind of binding, I should say; it's actually 12k words), though a little angsty and bittersweet. Good Omens fandom, but that should no longer come as a surprise to anyone who knows me, lol. Pics and process below the cut!

Top view and endpapers. Feathers are from the same sheet as the ones from In Death's Embrace, which I posted last week. The visual elements of this book were assembled entirely with things I already had. The gray cover paper is some kind of drawing paper that I bought for another project that only used a small amount, and the blue book cloth was a scrap from when I bound The God Below. Even the ribbon was something I already had; I think it's one of those loops you find in shirts sometimes. I could make a thematic point here about finding new life and purpose in an unintended role, which would be appropriate to the story, but really I just had them on hand and thought they were pretty together. And I was right.

Spot the mistake! When I first did the cover I was proudly showing it to people and then started swearing because I realized I'd forgotten the comma. Fortunately that was fixable but it was a pain to break out the embossing stuff and heat gun all over again just to add the damned measly little comma. The embossing powder didn't work as well on this cover as it has in the past, and I think it's the paper. Since it's drawing paper I think it absorbs ink better than the scrapbook paper and cardstock I usually use it with, so the lines came out more sketch-like and less neat than I expected. I don't think I'd like it for every book but I do like it for this one.

It is also my first time doing those little corner bits (I think this is called a half binding? Google results were inconclusive). They were a last-minute impulse decision and made from a fairly small scrap of book cloth, and I'm pretty happy with how they came out, despite:

You aren't supposed to be able to see the pointy bit XD A couple of them are like this on the inside. On the bright side, now I know better how to cut the pieces so they don't do that in future.

I'm scheduling this to post ahead of time (date of writing: 2/13) so I don't flood anyone's dash with books and fic recs, but what that means is that by the time this goes up I may have another one ready to go. Binderary was a good idea for productivity!
