   Summary

   You are a Talokan mermaid servant of the palace, and it is forbidden for anyone in Talokan to visit the surface world, but you stumble across a fascinating handsome man on the shores of Wakanda who comes there to read and fish every week and can't resist observing him from afar. One day, a rogue shark chases you up the channel and you're forced to expose your true nature to save his life and your own. You then wake up in his cottage, injured, and the mysterious man offers to nurse you back to health so you can return to Talokan before they figure out your secret. You and Sergeant James "Bucky" Barnes get to know each other as he takes care of you and you realize you're not the only lost soul caught in the war between Wakanda and Talokan. Bucky/Mermaid!Reader AU, post FATWS and Wakanda Forever, but pre Thunderbolts.
