Here With You - Bucky Barnes

Mostly realistic oneshot about reader/oc helping Bucky take care of his prosthetic. Slight canon divergence, but I thought it would be interesting if Bucky actually had to take care of what remained of his limb like real people who have lost a limb do. Basically, a safe, cozy little thing about taking care of Bucky and helping him.

Warnings/things to be aware of:
Mentions of hydra and past trauma, some angst/stress relating to the challenges bucky faces with his arm.

This can be read as a reader insert if you like, but it's written in the third person using she/her pronouns so you could also take it as an original female character. She is not named, or given a race or body type other than the amputation of her left leg.

This isn't clearly definable as either romantic or platonic so it should be comfortable for most people, I hope.

I hope you liked this! It assumes his arm is removable. I do not have a limb difference, so there may be inaccuracies but I did some research and watched some videos from those who do have a limb difference (I know people call it different things, so I hope this term is okay). Since we don't really have much information on how his vibranium arm works, I took some liberties in that area.

But please, please let me know if I should change something! Especially regarding limb care, I want it to make sense. Also, if anything regarding the limb difference is offensive in any way, please let me know and I will fix it, it's definitely not my intention!

(also, I'm not used to making book covers so sorry if it looks a little weird hehe)
