about:
This is a sideblog, and I follow back from my main @grimmusings. Please direct IMs there, since it's easier for me to keep all my messages on one blog. It's also easier to start interactions with me there, where I regularly post open starters and meme prompts. For a full list of rules, see my main. Honesty hour questions will largely be answered IC and treated as anonymous unless signed by a muse.
And now, some warnings! Brock is a villain, and I will be writing him as such. Even when heβs not actively being a villain, his interactions tend to be manipulative, abusive, and problematic af. This blog will feature content such as murder, torture, manipulation, gaslighting, abusive relationships, and some hit or miss loyalty to HYDRA and/or Red Skull. If youβre not comfortable with those, thatβs perfectly fine, but this isnβt the muse for you. I will check with you before anything major so we can better plot things out. Likewise, if you prefer to plot Brockβs death, Iβm happy to work with you on that. Being a villain has consequences, but communication is key. All details vary based on verse, and Iβm happy to write Brock into AUs and fandom crossovers.
Please note that I do not write HYDRA Trash Party, but I don't care if you choose to. I'm not into non-con, nor is Brock (for more on that, see my headcanons on Brock as a handler). However, my blogs are emphatically anti-censorship. If you don't understand the line between reality and fiction, we're not a good match.
wanted connections:
This is by no means a comprehensive list, and I can roll with most muses as far as basic interactions. Iβm happy to ship Brock with other Marvel characters and OCs/fandom crossovers based on chemistry, but unless theyβre on my OTP list, they need plotting and interaction first. There is never any pressure to ship with me, even if theyβre on my list.
OTPs: Sinthea Schmidt, Jack Rollins, Bucky Barnes NOTPs: Johann Schmidt, Alexander Pierce Other: Frank Castle, Billy Russo (AU where Brock is assigned to the Cerberus Squad), Negan Smith (he would totally join the Saviors in a TWD verse)
default verses:
mcu: An MCU-only verse where Brock joins the military at eighteen and works his way to Commander on a Navy SEALS team. He's in black ops when he's recruited by HYDRA and sent to infiltrate SHIELD. I'm happy to pick up anywhere in this timeline, from his early days with SHIELD to his post-HYDRA vengeance streak after Cap drops a building on him. If there's a redemption arc for Brock, it usually takes place in this verse.
616: A blend of MCU, comics, and headcanon where Crossbones was trained at Taskmaster's school for criminals before pledging loyalty to Red Skull during WWII, where he was given some version of the super soldier serum. He's fought for various organizations and villains over the decades before infiltrating SHIELD as a HYDRA agent, where his timeline crosses over with the MCU. Brock is an unrepentant villain in this verse, and he's not interested in redemption.
multiverse!madness: Various comics universes collide, whether Marvel/DC/etc. have always existed on the same Earth, or other-dimension shenanigans are at work. Duplicate friendly!
mcu/comics aus:
I'm happy to write these, but since they're more specific AUs, I don't default on them for asks/memes.
alt!insight: An MCU/616 AU where Brock dislikes the direction HYDRA is going, stages a coup, and takes over before Pierce can destroy them with Insight. He establishes himself as the head of HYDRA and does things his own way. (general!rumlow)
hydra!verse: Insight is successful, and HYDRA is able to take out all or most of their targets at once. Brock is promoted, and HYDRA is on the verge of world domination, with only a few rebels left to fight back.
hydra!world: Earth-85826, where fascist dictator Armin Zola rules the world with HYDRA.
rogue!verse: Same beginning as 616, but where Brock defects from Hydra at some point well before Insight. He spends decades living on the run and fighting back at HYDRA, is recaptured and tortured (where he receives the extensive scarring he has in the MCU), and escapes again to continue the fight.
welcome to westview: Roughly a month after Endgame, still mourning the loss of his old life, Brock wanders into Westview and stumbles upon a false happily ever after scenario.
winterverse: An MCU/616 AU where Brock is an unwilling participant in the Winter Soldier program. (winter!soldier)
other verses by request:
almost famous: A no-powers AU where Brock takes his porn star career and turns producer.
collegeverse: A no-powers AU where Brock drops out of college to become a porn star.
super!mcu: A Supernatural AU where Brock is a Knight of Hell, one of the first of the fallen and hand-picked by Cain. When Cain set out to kill the Knights, he escaped to hide on Earth. (demon!rumlow)
tlou: Twenty years after the outbreak, HYDRA still functions underground, a shadow of what it used to be. Brock is tasked with escorting an asset across the country in the hopes that the super soldier serum might lead to a cure.
twd!verse: A zombie apocalypse verse that follows a Walking Dead timeline. Brock was on a mission (with or without the asset) when the outbreak happened. He typically joins the Saviors as Negan's right hand man.
