Here we are hitting the 10 years mark since Brock and Jack made themselves known to us in CAWS and filled our minds and imaginations with their stories.
Starting today, 25 February 2024 for one year long, we will celebrate this couple through fanfiction, fanart, sharing and remembering how we discovered them and why we adore to write and create about their lives.
Useful Details:
Among the fanfiction, fanart - including edits, drawings, comic strips, I encourage you to edit videos, do podcasts, knit, stitch, crochet, Funko design and everything flying in the beautiful creative world - remembering and sharing here what made us board this ship is encourage through inbox, tagging his blog, dropping lines and any way you feel like making yourself known.
You can post the content on Tumblr and use the tag #hydrahusbands10years and/or tag @hydra-husbands
You can also submit the work as anonymous if you wish so.
For all kind of questions feel free to inbox me here or on @rip1009
What content doesn't fit the event?
Any content in which the main ship (aka Hydra Husbands) isn't the main ship. Since this is a Hydra Husbands event, the works are featuring Brock and Jack as the main stars of the events. If your work contains HTP, dead dove elements, please tag them accordingly.
2. Can I write in my main language?
Yes, go for it!
3. How long does the fic has to be?
As long as you want to. We're here to have fun and not to stress. There's no minimum or maximum words or chapters.
4. I have an old story fitting the event, can I post it?
As long it wasn't posted before somewhere else, go for it.
5. I found a story and it fits the event and I want to translate it. Can I?
First and foremost, get in contact with the author of that story and discuss about it, ask for permission.
6. What can I write, draw, compose about, what's the theme?
Our theme is the Hydra Husbands, one legendary couple that parachuted in our lives in the spring of 2024. Write, edit, draw about them.
AUs are embraced and encouraged and that means from coffee shop AUs to the fantastic merge/mix/mash of the movies Frank Grillo and Callan Mulvey starred (you want Milan o meet Alvey? go with it).
7. Can I participate with more than one creation?
Absolutely, if you can and have time and inspiration, go for it.
As I mentioned, for any kind of questions, feel free to inbox ♥
*there is also a little discord server dedicated to the Hydra Husbands so feel free to inbox if you wish to join the fun there as well ♥
And here is another thing. Hydra Husbands shippers are varied in their flavours. There are the HTP fans, the “let’s add third partner to the Hydra Husbands”, “let’s abuse the shit out of them because we love angst” and there are those, few but loved who write them complex, going through healing arcs and journeys, having a solid loving relation with all its complexities.
Hydra Husbands is not just one flavour born out of HTP and dedicated to satisfy angst, dead dove and “let’s see in how many ways we can abuse Brock, or Bucky, or Torres or whomever” and I am one of those who are *NOT* part of the HTP flavour. I love to see Brock and Jack happy, I love the AUs where they get happy, I lpve to see them heal, ride happy into the sunset and grow old together.
Let me tell you how hard is to comb and search through tags for these specific criteria because so help me, for the past years I skimmed and dodged all flavours of dead dove, angst and abuse and honestly, Hydra Husband deserves more than one flavour. And yes, may it be or not canon, welcome to the purpose of fanfiction and RP, create variety not just one thing.
So yeah, Hydra Husbands had sprung frok kinkmemes, HTP but they are more than one label, fans of this ship are not just falling into kink and HTP.
Long live redemption arcs and happy ever afters.
Yeah, Hydra Husbands are amazing in those settings, healing, growing, knowing comfort and care.

I absolutely loved working on this piece and Kali is one of the sweetest and most generous people I could have had the pleasure of working with. Thank you so much!
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
Maybe we'll get 40 years together
One day I'll be gone
One day you'll be gone
