Because for whatever reason, who cares, mermaid shit is compelling. And so is Bucky Barnes. And Bucky Barnes as a merman is therefore a real Situation in my brain. Here are the Mer-related Stucky fics I know and love.
Ok there's a lot lmao I'm gonna stop. I couldn't find that one where Steve is basically a Baywatch character and Bucky is kinda the lady from Splash >:(
If you've never read any mer-Bucky and want to check out The Best One to see if you like it, scroll to the bottom and read This Side of the Blue.
