A Cumbersome and Heavy Body

Background: you are an Avenger and live in the compound with everyone else, including Bucky. You've been dancing around each other because you each have similar struggles and a crush, but you don't think he feels the same. After being experimented on by HYDRA in the efforts to create "another Wanda," you were rescued after they deemed you too unhealthy. You have scoliosis and chronic pain in your back and legs, which causes mobility issues, so you often use a cane. (Because I like to project my issues onto fictional characters)

This will (hopefully) turn into a several-chapter slow-burn where you and Bucky get together. Undecided about smut because just cause I read a lot doesn't mean I know how to write it.

Please be kind. This is literally my first fanfic after years of reading them. I've always considered myself a decent writer at school but never could get into writing fiction. But, alas, variety is the spice of life. (or the bane of yours if it turns out shitty, hopefully not)
