Rec List: HTP absolute faves
Feb. 11th, 2022 06:36 pmA lot of 'em are classics for a reason.
The Only Animal by BrightEyedJill
In the 1940s, Hydra breaks Bucky through rape. Graphic mind-fuck. Bucky always perseveres to the end, especially when someone else’s life is on the line... only by the end, he’s entirely lost his bearings. Terrifying.
Daybreak by throttlegainwell
Hydra makes the WS rape Steve, while also making him pretend to be a fellow prisoner. Eventually the ruse is revealed.
Catastrophe (Breeds Strength) by sock_bealady
Rumlow makes the WS rape Steve while the Avengers are made to watch.
Excellent characterization, as each individual approaches a terrible situation in different ways. Psychologically devastating. Ch. 3 (onlooker Nat POV) just about destroyed me, in the best way. Steve and the WS talking *at* one another, promising to protect one another, despite the situation.
To Build a Better World by asocialconstruct
Hydra wins. Rumlow has a weird obsession with raping Sam. Sam POV. Tons of despair.
Really great tone / narrative voice, setting details, & fight sequences. Solid characterization of weird Hydra machismo & military/medical stuff; dark humor & pop culture references. Energy reminds me of Clint's AoU line: “the city is flying, we're fighting an army of robots, and I have a bow and arrow. None of this makes sense. But I'm going back out there...”
Blood from a Stone by shinelikethunder
Hydra/Steve gangbang.
A paradox to blame by accrues
Walker turns out to be a member of Hydra & a rapist. Bucky dissociates.
For Science by CluckU, Mumble_Bee
Medical torture porn, graphic noncon, well-earned comfort, well written fight scenes/action. Sam POV.
Chapter 5 is a blessing and a curse for me due to a squick of mine. And yet! I adore this beyond belief. Things get progressively more miserable (compliment) until chapter 8.
Lamb and Martyr by Dira Sudis
Bucky can only get off if he's being a sadist. Steve does his best to let him, even if it can only be good for one of them at a time.
Ch. 5 = rape play as themselves, before the rest of the Avengers burst in and try to "save" Steve from being raped.
between scylla and charybdis by refusals
Hydra kept photographic evidence of Bucky’s extensive sexual abuse. Bucky offers sexual favors to (a horrified) Sam to keep his secrets.
