First of all, I want to apologize to all medics and biologists here for the following craziness.
This idea is kinda inspired by two gorgeous pictures: http://bluandorange.tumblr.com/post/89944600285/secretary-pierce-is-treating-everyone-to-sushi (merman-Bucky by bluandorange) and http://zeroafterdark.tumblr.com/post/94284177022/makeshift-mermaid (merman by zeroafterdark)
So what if Hydra needs to perform some tricky underwater operation which seems to be impossible for a regular human being or just some authorities have pretty crazy ideas... tbh, the exact reason doesn't really matter, but. Hydra scientists try to create a "merman" by sewing together Bucky's torso and a tail of big fish (maybe shark, idk), manipulating with his respiratory tracts and putting him on meds or hormones of some kind to help him "adapt" to new conditions. Will those experiments just leave Bucky hopelessly maimed? Or will the scientists succeed, and what will Steve do if he finds out?
mermen, body horror tw
