Is there comfort afterwards? Because if so, bless you for your work.

[elaminator]

Pretty much. I'll never get enough Bucky angst.

[nyxelestia]

ALL THE BUCKY ANGST

:D

[nightscale]

+1

[souljelly]

This, heh.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Some have comfort, some simply end with all the characters worse off than they started.

One (not MCU) ended in a mercy-killing.

[feotakahari]

I've gone down this path before. It ends in the inability to write anything at all. It took me quite a while to recover enough to write cute, happy stories, let alone anything dark or violent.

[(Anonymous)]

Exactly the same with me.

My stories became so dark that I didn't realise they were affecting me until I had to stop writing because it was too depressing. It was hard to go back to cute. The storylines kept going back there, which I didn't want.

I can write dark again now, but I keep my number of fics like that in moderation.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh yeah, been there, done that, got the T-shirt. I'm a depressive anyway and dark stuff sometimes helps me work out my issues and sometimes leads me into depression.

[ketita]

Yeah, I know that situation too. On the other hand, with me I was lucky enough that as I cheered up, my writing automatically got happier too. I still do have a tendency to push things into a darker angle, but it's often mitigated by humor, and generally I feel like it's more because it's a kind of emotional porn I enjoy rather than reflecting deep misery on my part.

[(Anonymous)]

You're a writer. It's your job to hurt the characters.

PLEASE REC ME BUCKY TORTURE PORN?

[(Anonymous)]

Try pretty much anything in the Rumloow/Bucky or Peirce/Bucky tag on A03.

[skippydelicious]

I can deal with torture fics, but the ones that have torture just so they can have woobylicious comfort afterwards just make me vomit.

[solticisekf]

erm, opposed to a torture for the sake of endless angst? Imo, the comfort part is kinda obligatory.

[skippydelicious]

No! No more hurt/comfort with hot chocolate and marshmallows, and diddums, and owies, and backrubs, and gazing after his tortured soul, with everyone regressing to the mental age of eight, and go fuck off and read a Twilight novel instead. I am just sick of all of those fics.

[(Anonymous)]

I like torture for the sake of torture. The angst won't be endless, ideally they'll be tortured to death.

[(Anonymous)]

Nothing wrong with having a gift for a particular kind of story. But if it really bugs you, set yourself a challenge and write a cuddly little ficlet or something. Stretches the writing muscles, shows you what else you can do, and the readers who just like the way you tell a story might find it a pleasant change of pace. Pretty sure torture porn isn't ALL most of them read.

Sorry to derail your secret, OP, but how about a rec thread?

[nyxelestia]

All your favorite torture, H/C (or just H), whump, and angst fics. Especially about Bucky. Everyone and anyone, right here! :D

Re: Sorry to derail your secret, OP, but how about a rec thread?

[nyxelestia]

In all seriousness, OP, don't worry about it. No one is actually getting hurt with these fics, people are enjoying them, and by and large I doubt anyone who reads the fics actually thinks this stuff would be great in real life. I know for a lot of things, I enjoy reading fiction about them because I don't want them in real life/they'd suck in real life/etc.

Re: Sorry to derail your secret, OP, but how about a rec thread?

[feotakahari]

As a Utilitarian, I should NOT be saying this, but is no one actually being hurt by these fics really the point at issue? I've spilled a lot of ink trying to put myself back together, using my stories to outline the slow path to making it hurt less, as part of attempting to follow that path myself. When Skippy mocked these fics as being about cocoa and backrubs, and Solti said that was "delicious" and what he wanted, I literally, physically felt sick to my stomach. (And yes, h/c fic isn't really about recovery, but that seems an awful lot like the logic behind "Yaoi can stereotype gay guys because it's really about women, not gay guys," and most folks don't seem to find that convincing.)

Oh God, I feel so whiny for posting this. I don't mean to talk about me and my issues all the time; I just feel like I should bring them up when relevant because so many people are ashamed or embarrassed to admit they're not perfectly fine.

Phyllomania's Anann's Sword (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1561511), a recent kink meme fill, made my heart ache for Steve and Bucky.

OddityBoddity's Hope is a Knife made me feel physically ill and hurts SO MUCH: http://archiveofourown.org/works/1614566

DON'T STOP (BELIEVING)

[kallanda_lee]

Well, do you enjoy it? If yes, then who cares. My niche when writing non-fanfic is usually either sci-fi, or macabre/morbid stories - sometimes both. I hate putting myself in a "box", but there's also such a thing as acknowledging what you're good at.
