The A-Team Kink Meme

Okay, so hopefully this can get off the ground. Let's hit it.

Last Thursday I went to see this new movie called The A-Team. I fell in love with it and the characters, but lo and behold when I arrived to livejournal to look for fandom and fic, there was none! What a dilemma. After seeing several secrets on Fandomsecrets of other fans not

Murdock- self sacrificing non-con. ends as Face/Murdock

Love this one right here! Pllllleeeeaaaassssseeee!

Taking the Bullet, 1/5

It was half past two by now, and backup didn’t seem to be coming

Taking the Bullet, 2/5

Face blinked back awake, still cuffed to the chair. He found himself leaning, on two of the chair’s legs, so that his shoulder and face felt glued to the wall with sweat. His hands felt sticky, and he realized it was drying blood from the gouges the cuffs had cut around his wrists as he struggled.

The door banged open and Murdock staggered back in. The chair was gone - he’d been manacled now, with a chain from his wrists to his feet.

His pants were around his ankles.

Face froze. What did a guy even say? What the hell did you do at a time like this? He watched in silence as Murdock shuffled into a corner of the room and re-dressed himself. Then the pilot just sat down on the floor, his face blank and distant, and stared at the wall as if Face wasn’t even there

Taking the Bullet, 3/5

Bianchi came back the next day. Once again Face tried to draw his ire, and once again Murdock brought the crazy and caught the worse of Bianchi’s temper. This time, though, Bianchi’s boys didn’t drag Murdock out of the room. This time, they held him down over a countertop while Bianchi fucked his ass hard. Face was screaming for Bianchi not to touch him, to get his goddamn hands off Murdock, and all the while Bianchi held Face’s eyes with his own, grinning insolently. And all Face could do was yell, feeling hot tears behind his eyes as, in between sobs of pain, his best friend in the world babbled about the terrible consequences that would surely befall any man who dared accost a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police

They both waited silently, tensely on the third day. Murdock sat with shoulders hunched, in much the same spot he’d collapsed the night before. Face’s fingers drummed restlessly against the seat of the chair, counting the seconds until

Taking the Bullet, 5/5

The colonel sprung for a motel that night. Two rooms, at Face’s insistence: one for him, Hannibal, and B.A., and one for Murdock. Hannibal had given him a searching look, but didn’t ask questions. Face wondered how many answers his own look had already held

Thank you!

Murdock's rumbling made me sad...but hey, he has Face!(and of course Hannibal and BA!)

And again, thanks for sharing!!

you're welcome! I hope it was close to what you were looking for!

(P.S. the Captcha for this is "in ashamed". Is it trying to tell me something? Sorry, Murdock, for being so horrible to you!)

Oh god. That was really harrowing.
:-S

I think it's really easy to over-do Murdock's mental state. ( yeah what's over the top??) what I mean is what he's doing could de-tract from the drama but this, it ADDED to the situation. Like when he's shouting while Face is being made to watch.

The part where he explains why he's wet. It springs to mind that he thinks of his clothes as opposed to himself as dirty, he puts his clothes on therefore "washing himself" in the proccess. Trying to just get on with it. Or maybe I'm Reading into too much and he just wanted to wash his clothes.

When Hannibal burst in > made me very sad. Dunno why.

thanks for the comments! I'm glad I ... harrowed you? :b

Finding a balance is definitely the hardest thing about writing Murdock. It's way easy to make him just too zany, or to overbalance that and have him just be some boring guy who flies the helicopter. I'm glad you think this story walks the line OK!

And that was exactly my intent with the clothes-washing. I thought about having him be in the shower with all his clothes on, but I thought that was too over-blown again and decided to make it more subtle - more Murdock-y and less "after-school special".

Re: Taking the Bullet, 5/5

[valiapira]

Yea I totally got it. The way you write them both is perfect. Face is still "all man" and doesn't know what to do. I mean what could you say to that sort of self-sacrifice? So now he and Murdock have this secret.

You must write a sequal!
Like an aftermath well a carry on from the aftermath which was your last chapter. Maybe Face is more affected then he thinks?

Your wish, my command, etc. etc. :) See below!

I love this so much. You captured Murdock brilliantly, because just as he said to Face, he's not that crazy, but he'd be crazy for his friends. The part at the end made me happy, in a bittersweet kind of way, because, jesus, the poor boys! Great work!

Re: Taking the Bullet, 5/5

[anonymous]

Aww, thanks! I feel like Murdock has some capacity to turn the crazy on and off, although I also think he is seriously damaged at some level. I'm glad you liked the story - thanks for reading!

Re: Taking the Bullet, 5/5

OMG THIS FIC.
It made me laugh and cry and cheer wildly for the badass Murdock, rallying his one superpower (absolute nuttery) to save his friend. I loved this and I will be reading it over and over. Well DONE.
