Arctic Light

Back in prisoner_exchange, I started writing a treat for one of scioscribe's requests that I didn't finish. It was Algy/Erich, based on the tag Forced to have sex while captor watches.

I may eventually finish it one of these days, but that'd involve actually writing the buildup and aftermath. So here, you get the part I did write. It contains some holes with brief descriptions of what would've gone in those holes if I'd actually, y'know, finished it.

For context, this takes place in a post-Looks Back timeframe, but Biggles and EvS are not actually together yet. (Probably. That was one of the things I hadn't figured out for sure.)

This is also a fairly typical look at what my drafts often look like in the early writing stages.

( 1000 words of Algy/Erich with highly dubious consent and NSFW-ish under the cut )

Here's a little grab bag of some extra stuff that goes with the fic I just posted.

First of all, for the last chapter I was trying to figure out what the generator room of a secret underground HYDRA base would actually look like (seriously, I swear THE big source of delays on the last couple of chapters was trying to figure out how a secret underground bad guy base would be constructed, probably in more detail than actual TV show/movie show writers generally do) and I came across this really cool page on the power station at the Amundsen-Scott base at the South Pole. At least, I thought it was interesting! I started out patterning the HYDRA power plant after this one, although as you'll notice if you read the story, it ended up taking a somewhat different turn.

Second - the fic actually started out very different. I started writing it for a prompt at avengersgen last May, for Sam getting Bucky out of trouble. Originally I had imagined it as some kind of "5 Times Sam Saved Bucky" fic, or something along those lines, but I wrote this little tossed-off bit about Sam catching Bucky after he fell out of a plane, and then I thought "OKAY ACTUALLY I WANT TO WRITE THAT FIC", and then 32K words of fic happened. XD But I did actually start writing the other one. So here's about 800 words of the fic it almost was, but didn't turn out to be. It's still tempting to turn this into an actual fic, but I don't really have a plot, so mainly it's just some plotless speculating on how Sam and Bucky would work together in the field.

And that's as far as I ever got with that.

The other thing I wanted to post is something I just pasted into a comment over on the fic at AO3, and I thought, why not repost it here as well? I tend to write out of order, and one of the early scenes I wrote was a reunion scene that got cut because the plot went a different way. Deets under the cut so I don't spoil my own fic.

I also have some thoughts about how this story was or wasn't jossed by Age of Ultron, but I'll put those in a separate post so people who are avoiding spoilers won't be spoiled.

I was going through my WiPs folder tonight and decided to post the existing parts of some fics I started that I'm probably not going to finish. Most of these are for either CollarCorner prompts or old h/c bingo squares. I thought it might be fun for people to read them, although keep in mind that the reason why I'm posting these is because the stories are abandoned and are very likely to never be finished, so this might be more frustrating for you guys than anything else. *g* On the other hand, you never know when I'll go back and pick up one of these again.

Most of these are not particularly spoilery, but my intro text for #2 contains a season four spoiler, and #4 is very spoilery for the end of season three/beginning of season four.
