Summary: For the Whumptober "Starvation" prompt. Post-Sakhalin, it's not easy to get back to normal, whatever that means.

This was actually one of the first snippets I wrote for this project back in September, because it's such an unusual prompt that it caught my eye. (I was going to say "And one I haven't written" and then remembered that I wrote a whole entire fic about this, in this fandom, even. LOOK, I'VE WRITTEN A LOT OF FIC OKAY.)

No. 27: VOICELESS
Laboratory | Muzzled | “I have no mouth and I must scream.”

( 450 wds under the cut )

The Evil Sex Club idfic, in addition to the wonderful continuation yesterday (noncon warning), has acquired two more follow-up snippets involving Going Undercover In the Evil Sex Club, now with Collars: one, two.

No. 17: NOWHERE ELSE TO GO
Ruined Map | Shipwrecked | “We had a good run.”

This is a comforty follow-up to the Day 19 Blood Trail | Abandoned Cabin ficlet. (The "von Stalhein shot in the snow" one.) You should probably read that one first for the setup.

( 1900 wds under the cut )

Skipped ahead a bit in the prompt list because I figured we could use some good old-fashioned old-school h/c.

No. 19: BLOOD TRAIL
Abandoned Cabin | One Way Out | “Is there anybody alive out there?” (Bruce Springsteen, Radio Nowhere)

Set pre-Buries a Hatchet. Gen, 1100 wds.

( 1100 words under the cut )

No. 11: SEEING DOUBLE
Convenience Store | Loneliness | “Leave no trace behind, like you don’t even exist.” (Taylor Swift, Illicit Affairs)

Posted on AO3 (Agent Carter, post-season two)

( 900 words of Peggy and Jack under the cut )

No. 5: SUNBURN
Healing Salve | Heatstroke | “If my pain will stretch that far.” (Lottery Winners, Burning House)

Algy & Biggles, a bit of fluff from the 20s or early 30s. (I thought I wasn't going to have anything for this one, and then suddenly inspiration struck last night.)

( 200 wds under the cut )

No. 3: SET UP FOR FAILURE
Fingerprints | Wrongfully Arrested | "I warned you.”

I figured we needed some comfort after the last one. (And yeah, I already wrote basically this as a longer fic, some time back, but why let that stop me ...)

400 wds, somewhere late in canon.

( 400 wds under the cut )

No. 1: RACE AGAINST THE CLOCK
Search Party | Panic Attack | “If only we could hold on.” (Icysami x Renegaderr, Strangers.)

600 words, Algy & team, mid 1930s sometime
