Crippled ex-soldier, now taking over the family farm, old flame (maybe) neighbor. AI crash lands in a mini ship and merges with hero. Needs help dealing with over aggressive other alien species.
I'm fairly sure it was a relatively popular story, but I'm having no luck in the search.
Much appreciated in advance for the help.
Perhaps Accidental Commander by Tony G? https://storiesonline.net/s/46583/accidental-commander
36 chapters but hasn't been updated since 2009 due to a bad case of Real Life (TM) according to his blog.
I don't think that was it, but I'm enjoying what I've read so far.
Thanks for the suggestion daggerfang.
it might be Giants in the Sandbox by zoras

sounds almost spot on.
