Rating: G
Medium: Digital
Prompt #: 38
Warnings: N/A
Summary: Steve is a Canary - an army volunteer who's sent into potentially dangerous areas to find out how bad it is. (If he lives, they'll send in real troops. Canaries are disposable.) He's sent into a compound rumored to house the Winter Soldier - they figure either it's empty and Steve returns, or he'll get shot and they'll know where to attack. The Winter Soldier has no interest in killing such an obvious non-threat, but he's not going to let him leave, either.

How to Claim
Claiming will take place via a Google form. The claims post will open at 12 PM EST on February 2nd. (What time is that for me?)
You will be asked the following:
Username
Email
Link to social media
Prompt #
What medium you are claiming for
If you are self-claiming (creating for your own idea) please write “self-claim” in the first prompt choice section and skip to the bottom to give us a short description of your idea.
If you’re claiming for a podfic, please write “podfic” in the first prompt choice section and skip to the bottom to let us know the name of the fic and if you have the authors permission.
How prompt claiming works:
If your first choice of prompt is available, it’s yours! If your first choice is already claimed, you will get your second choice, and so on. If your third choice is claimed, we will send you an email asking you to re-submit with other choices.
If you only want to request one prompt, that’s fine. But if it’s already claimed we will send you an email letting you know and ask you to re-submit.
Once you’ve filled out the claims form you will receive an email from the mods about which of your claimed prompts you got. Please be patient.
We will be updating the Prompt List as fast as possible to indicate which prompts have already been claimed.

Prompt Guidelines Announcement
Hello everyone! First we would like to thank everyone who has already submitted a prompt or hyped up the fest. We have some great prompts so far and we can’t wait to see what you all do with them!
However, we have had some submissions of prompts that don’t quite meet the criteria of the spirit of this fest. This is a shrinkyclinks fest, therefore the central pairing should be Steve/Bucky. Any poly or past ships with other characters are fine, as long as Steve and Bucky are the focus of the story.
That being said, while this fest and the mods of this fest do practice Ship and Let Ship, that doesn’t mean all ships are appropriately for all spaces. This fest is for Steve/Bucky, not for promoting other characters. That is not to say that a fic can’t do that, or that a prompter can’t request that other characters be included or excluded. But it is disingenuous to this particular fest to prompt a story where a large focus is on characters or relationships other than Steve/Bucky.
In addition, we will not be accepting prompts that focus on Hydra redemption arcs or HTP. We’re working hard to make this a fun, safe, and inclusive fest for everyone, including the mods, and these themes work against that goal.
If you are unsure if your prompt fits these parameters, feel free to reach out to us via email (shrinkyclinksfest at gmail) and we will be happy to clarify.
All the best,
Shrinky Mods

Adrenaline response. Fear.
The asset feels as though it is familiar with fear, but it has no memory of it, just flashes of pain and punishment and recalibration and –
Disobedience.
(When the asset escapes HYDRA’s clutches after the incident on the helicarriers, it encounters a man who helps treat its wounds and rediscover its humanity. Two years later, Bucky and Steve reunite after Steve can’t help but stick his beak of a nose into things. Together, they make the perfect team to take down HYDRA.)
