in pixamech - my angel

in amado - my beloved

I left my bedroom in the Wakanda palace. Shuri and Queen Romanda took me in after my home, the Alumid Kingdom was attacked in the middle of the night. I remember waking to the attacks and seeing a mysterious figure in the sky. It seemed that he was looking down at me, but I couldn’t see his face nor any distinguishing features in the darkness. Shuri let me know when she came that an attack came on the radar and when they came to investigate me, they found me passed out on the ground with a bracelet adorned with beautiful jewels around my wrist. I really had not many memories of that night besides the destruction of my kingdom and the deaths of my people around me. You see, I was the princess and future heir to the throne. It was something that shook me to my core, but I accepted my place and prepared daily for it, in case something were to happen to my father.

My bare feet walked along the hallways of the palace, stopping in at Shuri’s lab. She turned around and saw me, a smile painting her face, “(Y/N)! Did you sleep well?”

“Hmm.. I guess. Still not feeling great after seeing everything I loved lost to an attack.”

A sympathetic expression appeared on her face, seeing me down in the dumps mentally. The memories just couldn’t stop playing in my head. I still wondered what had occurred to make us targeted for such an attack. And I couldn’t ask my father because he died before I even could.

“I’m sorry (Y/N).. I understand that feeling of loss. The lost of my brother is something that still affects me, even after a year later. I miss him so much. I can still feel him all around me, yet I still blame myself for not being able to save him,” Shuri’s hand rubbed my back with comfort. “Don’t go down the path I did. Mourn your loss freely and build up a strong support system. You are welcome to stay here and recover till then.”

Her comforting words made me smile and I looked up at her, giving a soft smile. “Thank you for being there to rescue me.”

I inched my hand towards hers and held it. Shuri made me feel safe, like no one else could hurt me. I still can’t believe I’m still here, and alive today.

“(Y/N), if I may ask, did you see anything that night? Like who destroyed your kingdom?”

I thought back to that night. Since it was close to midnight, it was hard to tell. The only thing I could make out in the darkness was people with blue skin and a mask over their mouths. They speared my people. I couldn’t get the blood curdling screams out of my brain.

“Princess, run! Get out of here!”

The memories of their voices hurt my head. It was like a virus in my body that had no antibiotic. No way to get it out of there. It would be stuck inside there, slowly killing me.

“I only remember.. The blue people with masks over their mouths. They were speaking a language I couldn’t quite understand. And.. the figure in the sky. They looked human, but they couldn’t be. They were flying!”

I saw Shrui’s eyes widen at my words. Something she definitely knew but I had to ask. “Shuri? Do you know what I saw?”

Shuri hesitated. her words stuck in her throat. I didn’t know what was going on inside her head, but I was certain that it wasn’t anything good.

“I don’t know what you saw either..”

I knew she was lying, but I accepted her answer either way. If there was one thing I would never do, it was to force something out of someone. It would be too much..

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

It was later that night and I decided to leave my room once more, venturing down to a nearby beach on the shores of Wakanda. The only thing that could calm me down was the sound of the crashing waves and the chirps of the crickets that sang in the night.

Looking out at the sea reminded me of how free it was down there. No invasion. No destruction. Just pure peace and tranquility.

I couldn’t ignore that bracelet that adorned my wrist from the moment I awoke after the destruction. My fingers stroked over the jewels and the smooth gold. It was jewels I had never seen before from my kingdom. Rare green colors of emeralds and topaz. It amazed me that I even had it on my body in the first place.

My ears picked up some ripples from the water and I looked at it with curiosity. What emerged from the water was something I least expected. It was a man with brown skin, pointed ears, well trimmed facial hair, and angelic wings on his feet. I couldn’t tell if he was an angel or devil in my eyes.

I scooted back away from the water, my bottom brushing up against the cold sand. He had gotten close to me before placing both feet on the ground, “Up close to you finally, In pixamech “

His language didn’t translate much and my breath caught in my throat. The oxygen refused to come out because I had an odd feeling about him.

“And you are?”

My bracelet around my wrist seemed to grow much tighter as he got closer. A smirk appeared out of the corner of his mouth before he took a deep breath, “K’uk’ulkan, King of Talokan, but my enemies call me Namor. And you are Princess (Y/N) of Alumid.”

My heart sank to my stomach hearing him know who I was. That silhouette came to mind.. Everything about his physical outline matched the person who had looked down upon me as my kingdom was destroyed, left to ruins. It was him!

“..You.. Were you the one who brought destruction upon my kingdom!” The bracelet tightened around my wrist when my fury came out. The reaction came when I leapt towards him. But before I could, the sting of it stopped me.

I couldn’t help but look at Namor’s face. A dark chuckle was let out of his throat at the sight of me not being able to fight back nor take him down.

“And it was so easy to get you out of there.. If I had just came in there and taken you, my people would have been in danger, no? And it’s easier to capture you when you aren’t close to the earth elements, in amado.”

I struggled to even speak and I looked around, trying to find any way to fight him back. As much as I loved the sea, I couldn’t use its elements to defend me. I was useless the way I was now.

A few tears shed down my face as I fell onto my knees, hopeless, “Y-You’re a monster..” Before I knew it, I felt his knuckles wrap around my chin and pull my face towards his, him kneeling down as well.

“You call me a monster, but the real monsters are those you surround yourself with.”

Namor took out a mask and held it over my face while the bracelet began stinging and tightening me even more. Then it was dark.

Shrui. Shrui. Shrui.

I need your help.

You know know who I am. But I am one of Bucky’s kids. White wolf actually. ANYWAY. I want to fuck with my father. I want you to please make him a arm (or edit his current arm, doesn’t matter) and I want his arm to glow in the dark. But don’t tell him it glows in the dark.

— liberian girl, shuri udaku

pairing: shuri udaku x black!fem!reader

warning: none.

song reference: liberian girl, michael jackson. circa 1987.

note: y’all know I come out of hiding every few months. this is something slight, nothing crazy. fluff as usual.

Her skin was rich. Deep in hue and tone. Rich and warm like mahogany. The sun favored her—a child whom she shone upon. Smooth as silk, softer than Egyptian cotton.

Her scent was addicting. Attention-catching and engulfing. Even the best batch of roses couldn’t compare to the sweet scent that radiated off her. Had the love between her thighs tasted a sweet as she smelled? One could only imagine.

Deep orbs with the ability to snatch a soul. Take mine, she pleaded. Through seducing irises, it sucks into a dimension unknown. A portal of love and list energized by the thunderbolt of Jove. Remember to give thanks for such a blessing.

Her Liberian girl. So gentle and kind. She deserved the world. She’d pull it off the back of Atlas is necessary. Rotate it in away that would benefit the love of her life. Anything for her.

The gentle sigh of her lover pulled her out of orbit and back to earth. Soft hands wrapped around the shoulders of the Queen. Shuri’s head turned to glance at the woman behind her. Her warm body pressed against her back, and the silky fabric of her night slip brushed behind Shuri’s legs. Her hair was wrapped in a multicolored scarf and her face was bare.

How stunning she looked in the early morning. She was adored by her mother, the largest star, who kissed her skin until she glowed. Is this was love was? True and authentic adoration of someone other than oneself?

“I love you, my Queen.” Her voice was low against the fabric of Shrui’s shirt.

“I love you more, usana.”

"I am the Queen of the most powerful nation in the world, and my entire family is gone. Have I not given everything?"

summary: Shuri is to be enthroned as Queen of Wakanda and doesn’t know if she will be able to bare the weight of the crown without her mother’s wisdom. She seeks out Riri’s guidance and warmth to thaw her frigid heart.

word count: 2.5k

warnings: death, grief, angst, hurt!shuri, loss, hint of friends to lovers, fluff, anxiety, wakanda forever spoilers.

a/n: This is definitely something that I’m not used to writing. But I hope y’all like it as much as you like my other fics! I’ve been struggling with major writer's block :|

➴ feel free to send me more thots

RIRI’S POV

I stared after her as she glided down the staircase. Shuri’s dress cascaded behind her like a black pool of water. It was made of the finest silks, held by gold rings and an encrusted black panther head with fangs on her chest. The dipped fang dangled in between her breasts against her bare skin. I tried to gulp down the lump in my throat, but my mouth became dry when I focused on the cutouts that exposed her dark skin. Okoye sure knew how to pick a dress. Shuri had tried her best to fight her way out of it, but it was clear that this was the dress. She had exclaimed that the outfit had fit too tight, too provocative, just too much for her. Yet as I watched her approach her subjects, all the nerves she had exhibited earlier were untraceable across Shuri’s posture. Her stride was regal, almost identical to Queen Ramonda. The people of Wakanda silently watched Shuri in awe. They had never seen the Princess in this light. No, not their Princess, their Queen. I was not able to be in attendance during Shuri’s inauguration amongst the Wakanda Council. Not only because I had school, but I wasn’t allowed. The ritual had been private, a sacred ceremony to officiate Shuri’s place on the Wakanda throne. Outsiders were not welcome. However, when Shuri insisted I attend the Public Crowning of the Wakandan Queen, I couldn’t refuse.

I stood off in the distance at the side of the balcony with Agent Ross to obtain the perfect view for the event. Out of sight from curious onlookers but close enough to make out every detail. M’Baku held the crown in his hands as if it was a delicate flower, and tiny beads of sweat formed on his forehead as he walked towards Shuri. He had argued with Okoye for days that placing the crown on Shuri’s head should be him. Shuri told me that he yelled at Okoye and told her “she hadn’t become the general again until a couple of weeks ago.” This struck a chord with the Dora Milaje, leading to both groups almost getting into a physical altercation. Shuri had to break it up in the end. They settled it over a coin toss. I couldn’t hold in my laughter at the audacity of it all when we’d been on the phone. Imagining the mighty M’Baku keeled over a coin in anticipation was enough to elicit a giggle out of her.

“I present to you, Shrui Udaku, the Queen of Wakanda.” As M’Baku gently settled the gold crown atop Shuri’s head as his voice boomed loudly across the silent crowd of Wakandans.

The sea of people began to bow down to one knee, row by row, like a wave. I was in complete awe to see the power that Shuri held. She was now the sole leader of a whole country. I fell to my knees but kept my head raised to see only Shuri left standing and staring at me. A hint of a smile on her lips. She was breathtakingly draped in black and gold. I couldn’t help but feel special amongst all the people in front of her. She chose to steal a glance at me before she bellowed for everyone to rise.

The Dora Milaje raised their spears, and the Jabari tribe beat their chests in triumph, celebrating the new ruler of Wakanda. Shuri placed her arms over her chest as an “X,” yelling, “Wakanda forever,” and it wasn’t until she did so that I saw the tears flow from her eyes. They were leaving a streak down her perfected makeup—a sign of the girl who had nearly lost everything.

Shortly after the public inauguration, I returned to Shuri’s headquarters, where I stayed for the week. Desperate to change out of my heels, I mindlessly flung them on the floor to walk barefoot on the black marbled floors. My feet instantly felt soothed by the contact of the cold tiles. The only sound echoing is the soft padding of the soles of my feet, walking to sit at Shuri’s vanity overlooking the city of Wakanda. Shuri’s room was quiet and sombre. I bet I could hear a pin drop. At times it felt surreal to be in Wakanda, miles away from the loud streets of Chicago and the MIT students' crowds. When I first met Shuri and Okoye, I had been ready to throw anything to keep them from taking me away from the familiarity of my dorms. Although it had been months ago, I could recall the memory like it was yesterday. One would find it difficult to forget. When I first set eyes upon Okoye, she appeared viperous and ready to strike at any moment’s notice. I’m still surprised I was able to gain her respect. Okoye does not offer that to just anyone. Then again, I’m astonished about many things that have occurred these past few months.

The sweltering heat and sun from the ceremony had caused my dress to stick uncomfortably against my skin. I desperately needed to change into an outfit that allowed me to breathe. I fumbled with the zipper behind my neck, and my fingers struggled to pull down the clasp lock that kept the fabrics mended together. I am to be a scientist, and I still couldn’t figure out the intricacies of a simple dress zipper. Midway through my struggle, I heard my phone ping from a text by Shuri. We had unique ringtones for each other.

Meet me in the lab.

I looked at the clock to see not much time had passed since the public inauguration. Shuri should have been on the road for the parade throughout the city. That was the plan; she shouldn’t be in the lab. I made my way to the familiar doors I’d entered countless times to find Shuri sitting on the floor. Her dress puddled around her in a great heap of black silk. Once we made eye contact, Shuri was unrecognizable. The gold crown was still pinned to her head, and Shuri’s makeup remained perfectly painted on her face regardless of the tear stains. It pained me to see the softness in her eyes become cold and void. I’ve wished to keep the tenderness alive within Shuri, but since the murder of her Mother, Queen Ramonda, she hasn’t been the same. Shuri had become quick to irritate and rash. She still refused to tell anyone about the family member she had encountered in the ancestral plane. I knew better than to ask. The question always triggered an argument.

“Shuri, what’s wrong? What are you doing here? You should be with your people.”

“You are my people. That’s why I called you.” Her eyes remained trained on the ground. I’m convinced her glare could bore a hole in the laboratory floor if she wished. I couldn’t find the words to respond, unsure if I should correct her or scold her that she knew what I meant when I first said it. Deciding to remain quiet and listen was a safer option; once Shuri overcame her grief and anger, it was best to stay silent. I lowered myself to the ground to sit patiently in front of Shuri. Finally, Shuri released her lips from the tight line to speak again.

“Bury your dead. Mourn your losses. You are Queen now. Those words have haunted me for days as a prophecy I wished would not come true. I walked down these hallways a million times, feeling like a ghost in a shell. My insides cried for anyone to reach out and extract the pain that held my heart. But, instead, I’ve spent the remaining months making myself digestible for others to the extent that I no longer know what is left of me.

“The tears that have escaped me since that day felt like they would choke the life out of my soul. I would force myself to scream out from the empty cavern of my chest, yet no matter what I do, it’s as if it will never end. I wake up overtaken by a body that no longer knows rest, Riri. I don’t know how to cultivate the strength to be a Queen for Wakanda.” Shuri’s voice remained bleak as she spoke. I noticed the changes that had come over Shuri for quite some time but did not dare to look deeper. It wasn't easy to find the right words to provide comfort.

“To understand the depths of mourning, you must know love. The feeling you are experiencing is your yearning for your Mother with nowhere to go. It’s the final act of love. But she is still a part of you. Although she may not be present in the physical plane, she lives on with your ancestors. Or at least, that’s what Okoye has told me. She was quite brief with answering my questions.”

“Okoye has time to talk to you about Wakanda history?” Shuri asked.

“She doesn’t. I annoy her enough until she spares me some details.” The comment gained a full smile from Shuri. Her body language shifted slightly to face me onward, our knees lightly brushing against each other. I took this as a chance to use the light fabric of her dress to dab at her wet eyes, careful not to smudge her mascara. Thankfully her dress was black, and the action didn’t ruin it.

“That’s the thing about grief. It’s messy, and it gets everywhere,” I whispered.

As I was about to retrieve my hand back to my side, Shuri grabbed it to encase it into her own. Her skin was soft and warm while she traced circles on the back of my hand. She’s held my hand countless times, but the way she grasped it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I didn’t have to look up to know that Shuri was now staring at me.

“I’ve prayed to feel a release, and at times it felt like no one was truly listening. So, Riri, I’m thankful I have you in my life, especially now when I need to bring myself back to Earth.”

“I think this is the first time you’ve admitted that you like me around.” Then, slowly raising my head, I offered Shuri a toothy grin.

“But there’s no need to thank me, that’s what friends are for!”

Shuri’s lips pursed when I said “friend,” as if the word tasted sour on her tongue.

“What? Did I say something wrong?” I felt worried that I may have ruined the moment. It wouldn't have been the first time. Shuri’s mood has been unpredictable, and I could never be sure what I might have said to trigger a reaction.

“No, not at all. It’s just…”

“Just what? Come on; you know that you can tell me anything.” Shuri broke eye contact to watch our intertwined hands, twiddling her fingers as she did so. She often did this when she was nervous or agitated. I wanted her to spit it out, but considering she finally stopped crying, I didn’t want to welcome another onset of tears.

“I don't want to ruin the friendship that we have together. Still, I want to be honest with you and myself. I like you, Riri, more than a friend. I’ve felt this way for a while now. I guess by saying this, I’m wondering if you feel the same way.” Shuri stumbled over her words. They all seemed to come out quickly and jumbled.

I wasn’t oblivious to how close Shuri and I had become. I held her down when she took the heart-shaped herb. I have never been much of a fighter, but I fought for her and would do it again if I had to. She never had to ask because I would always be there without a second thought or doubt. Thinking back, Shuri has done the same. I can’t remember a night without not talking to her on the phone. I never thought about her busy schedule as an upcoming Queen because Shuri made time to pick up my calls. The stolen glances and shy touches were not in vain. Shuri had become a part of my world. Of course, I felt the same way.

Wrapping my arms around Shuri, I brought her close to my heart and said just that. Her body fit perfectly against my own. As I held Shuri close to my chest, Shuri began whispering a song. I didn’t understand the Xhosa language but a deep understanding capsuled in my mind of memories that would never be erased. Almost ancestral to a place that I felt akin to. It offered a tiny bit of abreaction that denied us. I felt her breath on my neck as she sang; it left goosebumps and a fluttering feeling in my stomach. Numerous thoughts clouded my mind. The outstanding one was the desire and fantasy of what it’ll feel like to have Shuri’s lips against my own. However, this was not the time. Not when she had a duty to fulfill. As if the Universe had heard her, Okoye burst through the laboratory doors.

“What is the meaning of this? Queen Shuri, the people of Wakanda await.” Okoye’s eyes were ablaze, and darted between the two of them. I became increasingly aware of how we must’ve looked at that moment. I opened my mouth to say something, yet Shuri beat me.

“I’ll only go if Riri comes with me.”

I attempted to separate myself from Shuri, but she didn’t budge. Okoye looked as if she was at a loss for words. Unsure if she should risk her position to oppose the new Queen. When she didn’t immediately speak it felt like my heart would beat out of my chest. The seconds felt like hours as I watched Okoye’s face slowly morph into a soft expression.

“As you wish, my Queen,” she sighed.

Today was the day of the reaping. Shuri woke up to see her brother, T'Challa looking at Shuri with a gentle smile. Oh, how she loved her brother.

"Brother if that soft smile of yours will help me today, best I take it." Shuri smiled at her brother, joking first thing in the morning on the most dreaded day of every young child's life.

T'Challa laughed."I appreciate you trying to liven up the mood, but you're late. Bucky's waiting for you outside."

Shuri widened her eyes. She had overslept. She was supposed to hunt with Bucky before the reaping starts.

She rushed out of her bed. "Shit shit shit shit!" Shuri said as she scrambled to grab her clothes. She checked the clock and it said 12. The reaping starts at 2.

"Shuri language!" Her mother yelled from the kitchen.

"Sorry, mother!" Shuri yelled back. Things were falling over as she bumped over them.

Shuri always woke up as early as 5 in the morning so she can spend the entire day hunting and scavenging food she can sell to the hob. However every reaping she always woke late. It's the nervousness and fright. Shuri was and is always scared that she will have to fight people who don’t deserve death but also leave her poor mother and sick brother.

However, T’Challa was once so strong that he provided for the family alongside their father. It was a shock that he became sickly. One of the many assumptions on how he became like that was because of the death of their father. After he died in an explosion, T’Challa became sick, he can’t use his bow or his bare strength. The strength that ran in the Udaku blood.

Ever since then, Shrui provided. She hunted using her brother's bow and used her father's wisdom to guide her in her hunting.

However, the earnings she had on shooting rabbits and squirrels were not enough to sustain her family for more than two days. That’s why she had signed in for a system that allowed poor and starving citizens to receive rations. Luckily it lasts them for weeks. The downside of it is that your name doubles every time you sign up. Shuri is now 17 and she had signed up since she was 12. Meaning her name is on the bowl, 18 times. T’Challa could have helped but Shuri was firm about never allowing him. She couldn’t bear her brother fighting in the games. He’s 18, almost 19. He’s close to being safe.

Shuri waved her brother and mother goodbye as she dragged Bucky by the arm.

“Woah, what’s the rush, Uri?” Bucky said as he was dragged towards a tree quite far from Shuri’s house.

Shuri let go and sat down. Frustrated and scared. Her face didn’t show it but her actions speak for it. “I have a feeling I may be chosen as this year's tribute…”

Buck gave her a small chuckle before sitting beside her. “You won’t.”

“How can you be so sure?” Shuri said.

Bucky smiled warmly at her, a smile assuring her, a smile that always made her feel safe. “I just do.”

Shuri smiled back as she stood up and walked towards her bow. “Let's practice before 2.”

Time passed quickly. It was already one. Bucky said his goodbyes so he can change. Shuri quickly went inside and took a bath.

Shuri left the bathroom and by the time she glanced at the clock, it was already 1:25. She had to hurry up.

“Shuri, I laid out a dress for you,” Ramonda said by the doorway, a soft smile inlaid on her lips.

Shuri glanced at the table where a neatly laid dress colored light purple was. “Mother if this is one of your favorite dresses during your youth, I can’t accept this.”

Ramonda went close to her daughter. “My girl, my sweet Shuri… you had worked too hard for this family. I want you to have something, something from me, something that means great importance to me.” She hugged her daughter tight but reassuringly.

Shuri breathed in, hugging back. “Thank you, mother…”

Ramonda broke the hug as she left the room.

Shuri glanced at the soft purple dress in satin and wore it with utmost care. She took one glance in the mirror and she found it odd at first yet she was satisfied.

She left the room and bid goodbye to Ramonda. T’Challa was waiting for her. The walk on the town square was quite short, yet the comforting silence they had comforted Shuri.

Almost everyone was there. Shuri and T’Challa stopped walking to glance at one another. “I wish you safety, brother,” Shuri said as she hugged T’Challa to which he reciprocated. “So do I sister.”

They nodded at one another as they signed in and walked toward their designated crowd.

It has now begun. One of the most dreaded days. The reaping.

A woman with blond hair stepped out. Pepper Pots. She chooses the tributes for District 12 every eight months. Her blond hair was shiny and golden. This year she wore a dark blue dress with crystals that surrounded the hem. She was less fancy than the other tribute choosers.

"Happy hunger games everyone and may the odds be ever in your favor." She said gently. That's why Shuri liked Pepper. Her voice wasn't too high-pitched. She was gentle.

"I believe I shall waste no time." Pepper walked towards the ladies' bowl. "As usual ladies first." She began picking carefully. Shuri was nervous.

Pepper got the paper. Everyone held their breaths, terrified that they might be chosen.

"Ariya Shaul?"

Shuri widened her eyes. Ariya was just a 12-year-old. She helped her mother raise her. Shuri was like an older sister to the girl and she loved her like she was her own sister. Shuri had to do something.

"Come on up sweetheart," Pepper said extending her hand.

Fear was visible in the girl's eyes, people near her could see the tears formulating in her eyes. Ariya walked towards the stage. People made way for her to walk to which Shuri quickly ran after her.

"Ari! Ari!" Shuri called as she ran towards the girl. The peacemakers stopped her. "Let go let go!"

Ariya turned around, waving a small goodbye to Shuri.

"I volunteer as tribute!" Shuri yelled out loud as she squirmed around the peacemaker's clutch. They let her go upon hearing her declaration. Shuri pushed them away, facing Pepper and Ariya.

"My... We have our first volunteer... In a while. Come on up." Pepper beamed softly at Shuri.

Ariya shook her head refusing. She was a quiet girl who knows how to control her emotions, but right now, she was frightened. You could see it on her face.

"Sister please don't do this..." Ariya whispered. Her voice is so soft and meek upon begging Shuri.

Shuri smiled at the girl and patted her head. "It's okay, little dove," Shuri whispered to her.

Ariya began to run toward her only to be stopped by the peacemakers. "Shuri! Shuri! Please no!" She cried out loud. T'Challa carried her away.

Shuri stepped on the podium, her head high. She refused to cry, to look weak. She refused to look like prey.

"Wonderful! Your name?" Pepper asked as she held the mic close to Shuri.

"Shuri. Shuri Udaku." She replied, her body frozen.

"Well thank you for being this district's first female tribute. Has been a while." Pepper stopped for a bit before she walked towards the bowl for the men. She was quick to pick up the paper.

“The male tribute for district 12 is…” Pepper opened the paper. “T’Challa Udaku.”

Shuri’s face turned to dread. She glanced at her brother who was walking towards the stage. Was she going to kill her brother? The question wasn’t answered as a voice objected.

“I volunteer as tribute.”

Everyone looked at the voice. The man in the front row walked towards the podium. Pepper gave the mic to him to which he held it to introduce himself. “Namor.”

Pepper nodded. “There we have it everyone, this year's tributes for District 12. May I hear a round of applause please?”

Instead, no one applauded. Instead, they created an X using their arms. A sign of respect in their district.

Shuri glanced at Bucky whom she nodded.

The peacemakers guided them to separate rooms. Sure he sat and waited for the door to open and it did open. Her mother, her brother, and her other brother, all entered and hugged her. “Mother… brother…” She whispered.

“Please. Please be careful my daughter.” Ramonda hugged her tightly.

“Im great at surviving mother. I will be fine.” Shuri made a mental note not to cry. If she did, it would make her seem weak.

“Now I want all of you to listen up. We have many trinkets that mother had that she passed on to me. Sell those. It will give you money.”

Bucky nodded. To them, he was like family. "Here. I want you to have this." He gave Shuri a pin. A beautiful gold panther pin. The carving was beautiful, it captured the panther's body and face well, and it was real gold! This could provide a family for a year or so.

"Buck, this was your mothers... are you sure?" She whispered.

Bucky chuckled. "This was supposedly my gift for your birthday but I guess I can give it to you right now, as an advanced birthday gift. Also serves as your lucky charm."

"Buck... thank you," Shuri said as she hugged them tightly before the guards pulled them out.

"Be careful!" She yelled at the. One last time. Shuri placed the pin in her pocket, her memory of home.

She and Namor were transported to a vehicle that drove towards the train. It was pure silence.

When they did reach the train, she was told to sit.

“I’ll fetch Tony, both of you, talk and stay put okay?”

Shuri nodded. She looked beside her to see Namor looking at her. “Hello.” She greeted, softly. Quite afraid if her voice croaked, glad it didn’t.

“Hi.” He replied.

“Thank you for volunteering for my brother. It means the world to me.” Shuri smiled gently at him.

“No, it was nothing. He was well respected, it’s fair that I try to do something for a man who does not deserve it.” Namor smiled back. “The name Namor.” He reached out to her, to shake her hand.

Shuri nodded as she shook his. “Shuri. Let us win this game, shall we?”

“Yes. Yes, we shall.”

Shuri was comforted by the thought of how nice he was. She was about to ask about his skillsets when Pepper, accompanied by their supposed mentor who won the games 25 years ago, who happened to be drunk, crashed on the nearby table.

“You drank again! Even when I told you not to!” Pepper furiously said as she pulled Tony and dragged him over to sit in front of the two tributes. “For the last time Tony, you can not drink when the new tributes are here. It leaves a bad impression!” She sat beside him and wiped his face.

Everyone in Talokan knew the chemistry between Tony Stark and Pepper Pots. They themselves are the only ones who weren’t aware.

“Do we have a strategy?” Shuri asked. The attention was on her now.

“Let me tell you, kid. Don’t die, avoid careers, learn basic survival techniques and you win the games… hypothetically.” Tony said as he flinched at the roughness of the towel to which Pepper was rubbing his face with a pissed force.

“I know how to survive in the wilderness.” She replied.

“That’s great! Now don’t die. Easy.” Tony sarcastically said as he reached for the water which Namor smacked from his hands. The glass flew towards the window. The glass shattered at the impact.

Shuri widened her eyes as she glanced at Namor who was looking at Tony with a darkened face. “Namor you shouldn’t have done that.” She whispered to him.

“Shuri he belittled you. I have seen what you can do. This… so-called mentor of ours sees no hope for his trainees.” Namor replied, his voice louder than Shuri's.

“You know what I can do?” She whispered once again.

Namor ignored what she said and continued to look at Tony menacingly.

“HAHAHAHA! That’s great! Good strength and speed! I’m starting to like you.” Tony said. “Did you see that Pep? We got a strong and fast guy.” He turned his attention from Namor to Shuri. “What can you do?”

“I can hunt. I use a bow really well, I have good strength and speed too, and I know how to survive in the wild.” Shuri replied earnestly.

Pepper smiled. “Tony these kids are promising. Help them.” She said as she tightly held his hand to which Tony yelped in pain.

“Fine. But we can start tomorrow, I need sleep. My head aches.” He then stood up and walked to his room.

Everyone watched as Tony left.

“I too need sleep, see you tomorrow dears!” Pepper went in the opposite direction.

After everyone left Shuri drank the water from the glass in front of her before saying something. “Thanks for trying to defend me. I didn’t need it but thanks.”

Namor sighed before he stood up, he went near the door before stopping. “You don’t deserve to be undermined. I’ve seen what you can do.” He didn’t turn around. He just left.

Shuri was baffled as she sat alone, reflecting and thinking of home. She misses her mother who always hugged her when she was down. She missed her brother who always was there for her, who taught her what he knew, and who taught her everything. She misses her best friend, Bucky, who was her partner in crime in almost every shenanigan she did. She misses that ugly cat that belonged to T’Challa. She misses home.

Shuri unknowingly fell asleep at the dinner table. But she awoke for some time after she felt a piercing gaze directed at her. Shuri opened her eyes to see Namor standing in the doorway.

“Good morning Princess.” He smiled softly at her. “Did you have a good sleep?”

Shuri looked around, confused. Turns out she didn’t go to her room and fell asleep thinking of her family.

“No, not really. My body feels like shit.” She replied.

“I can take you to your room, I can see you’re too exhausted to walk.” He went near her. “Hop on my back.”

“Are you kidding?” She chuckled but she noticed he wasn’t joking. “You aren't kidding?”

He nodded. “Just accept it.”

She reluctantly agreed and hoped on his back. After all, she was so exhausted.

They arrived in her room and he laid her gently on the bed. “Goodnight Shuri.”

“Good night Namor.”

Though Shuri hoped to have a dreamless sleep, her mind had a different plan. She dreamt of home. She dreamt of eating bread with Ramonda and T'Challa while she threw bits of it to his ugly cat which she named Bubi.

The dream was peaceful. Felt too real.

"Up up up! It's another day wake up!" Pepper said as she knocked at Shuri's door. Pepper continued to knock until she heard Shuri's annoyed groan.

"Meet you at the dining cabin before 7, hurry up!"

Shuri heard the clacking of her heels fade away. "Well, another day close to death." She whispered to herself. Opening the closet was a dark violet jumpsuit paired with a black jacket. Shuri pinned the panther pin on the left side of her chest and zipped her jacket.

Shuri left her room and walked down the cabin to see Namor walk towards her. His room was just one room away from hers.

"Morning." He greeted first. Shuri was still adjusting to her new surroundings. That includes new people.

"Morning. Sleep well?" Shuri asked attempting a conversation. The only friend she had was Bucky so talking to strangers of people around her age or her brother's age was difficult.

He nodded. "Was okay, I usually wake up at 8. You? Slept well?"

"Aside from a dream about home? Yeah kinda."

Namor gave a small laugh before the door automatically opened. Namor gestured for her to get in first to which Shuri went in.

"Good morning dears. Breakfast?" Pepper said as she watched both Namor and Shuri sit in their seats.

Shuri's eyes marveled at the food in front of her. The aroma, texture, and color hypnotized her. Though it was tempting to just eat it all up, she knows basic etiquette. Something her mother taught her.

Everyone began eating, Pepper began chatting, asking about how they felt or how they will survive. Mostly Namor responded. Shuri only replied to a few questions.

"Great now Pep, deer boy, and crazy cat girl ate without me," Tony said as he walked towards the table, beside pepper.

"Crazy cat girl?" Shuri asked as he chewed her chicken.

Tony nodded while reaching for the bread. "Yeah cause you can be gentle, then feisty, then aloof--- a whole mood swing, hence crazy cat girl."

Namor gave a small laugh. "I would usually disagree but for once you are right."

Shuri looked at the men, confused and slightly offended. She rolled her eyes. "Whatever call me however you like but I need to know to play the games."

"Well before you enter the games, you please the people first. Thus sponsors. You two need sponsors to survive the arena, they come in handy for things you'll need. If they see you need burn ointment, they'll get it for you."

Shuri and Namor finished eating.

Namor leaned towards Tony, his ears listening with great interest. "So one of the tasks I need to accomplish is to please the capital?"

"Yep," Tony said. "You may wanna start now." He whispered as the train began slowing down. They were in the capital.

Still, that forced friendship became your best friend she was the scientist, and you were the designer you practically designed anything from clothes to cars, and then that lead to weapons. We were twine at one point our parents called us the terrible 2. We did everything together you went to school together and she would fight people who give you hard times you always told her that you could protect yourself but she insisted she would for some reason and when she believed and wanted to do something for you and try to tell her to not do it she would get defensive and give you a lecture about how if she does it can be better to help you blah blah. But as you grow old you still had the connection and now you work for your bestrides friend she can be cocky about that all the time but it is your best friend, of course, they would be cocky that's how you act towards each other some people wouldn’t get it like you too. You and t’challa were close to he was like your brother from another mother T’challa shuri, and I was the trio even though me and shuri spent all of our time together t’challa still treated you like family and I did too that's just how we grew up so when I heard the news of his passing I collapsed to the floor and cried for hours god took him too soon to you. But when the funeral came you still went but couldn’t see your friend that was a brother to you in that shape and form. You still couldn’t expect the fact that he was not coming you heard the news that queen mother had passed you sighed, of course, it had to you screamed into your pillow and started crying why just why is your second family happening like that you couldn’t believe this is a life that she died why just why did they take away your mom you cried for hours wishing you could've saved her from the issue if you were there with her.

4 years have passed

shuri had her ceremony to become queen and she locks amazing you started thinking of unholy things to do to her but you had to snap out of it, of course, that's your friend your best friend to be exactly why were you thinking of these things. You were thinking of the things because this isn’t and wasn’t going to look at her in that light plus it wouldn’t be the first time that you and shuri slept together in the first place You heard that the after party was the best party but, to be honest you went home and napped you didn’t want to party you wanted to sleep and that's what you did sleep through the party

Your kimyo bracelet begin to vibrate like a call was coming in but you where in deep sleep you didn’t feel it not at all until the calls became back to back you became angry who wanted to wake you up this late in the first place you answers the call still half way sleep “What do you want a girl needs her beauty rest ok “ Shuri than made a hmm noise “Well its me Shuri i was wondering why i haven’t seen you at the after party” You wanted to go back to sleep “Well i was tired and i didn’t want to really go” you said almost going back to sleep “Why “ Shrui questioned “I didn’t want to go because i know its crowded and like i said i was and still am tired” Shuri replied “I’m going to need you to watch who your talking to princess because you need to wake up and get dressed to come celebrate I really give 0 fucks if your tired get your ass up “ Shuri made that an order and you have to follow the queen “Whatever you say queen shuri” You said with a sarcastic tone “Nah because watch when you coming down here you gone wish you wasn’t being such a smart ass “ Shuri said serious tone you “Bye “ you hung up before she even had time to speak .

You started your shower and used your Chanel number 5 shower gel and started getting dressed you put on your cow scrunched side dress with a slit in the front on the color was a champagne color you put on your wig that was blonde and layed it down and then a 70s blowout you sprayed your Chanel number 5 perfume on and putting on your shoes that matched your dress you put on some silver jewelry and a ring shuri give you and got your phone purse and put your kimoyo your back on since you took it off when you took your shower and left.

You got a uber to the club that the after party was hosted out and you got out and walked out pictures where being taking by paparazzi and then you walked on the red carpet that was placed on the pathway this was one of the largest clubs in the area of Wakanda the guards said “Name” You responded “Y/n L/n” They checked you off the list and opend the doors you look inside and you gasped the club had led lights around the walls and ceilings there was a banner that said “Queen shuri” There where panther statues practically every where and they even shaped ice to look like a panther it was a dj and they even had a bartended and for some reason they gave out treat bags “Oh shuri” you sighed and walked in the music was loud and they music was loud for some reason they where playing mary j blidge “i can love you” You started singing the lyrics “i can love i can love you better than she can” and than thought this was obviously shuris party this was one of her favorite songs and you knew that obviously you were her best friend . You walked over to the bar and asked for a tagin margarita “ of course miss coming right up “ You got the drink and then proceed to go find an open spot and sat at the booth alone sipping your drink you just got then you began to watch people dance and have a good time like you weren't just forced to come to the party from the new queen her self . You started daydreaming of how much sleep you could've got if you would have just stayed at home like the original plan you made instead of coming to this stupid party.

you got a knock on the table and you got out of your daydream and looked up and it was your best friend Riri “you alright” questioned you while starting to sit down You nodded while sipping your drink .” girl it lowkey looks like your high are you good” We then started to chuckle and that I said “Girl shuri woke me up out of my slumber to get me to come this I am tired and want to sleep, She is being so annoying “you said while looking at your dress and fixing it. You hear a voice startle you and you proceed to look up “ so you think I'm annoying you didn’t say that a couple of days ago I think you said something among the line of “shuri your the best “ She mocked your tone of voice . You said “we that was a couple of days ago and today is a new day chapter 2 “You show duce your finger and show her your fingers. “Yeah yeah,” Shuri replied, “well what do you want since I can be at home sleep, “ You said with your glass hitting the table” while you fixing your dress you hated how the dress was riding up your thigh Riri says “Shrui looking at you like a puppy and chew toy “ And you know what that meant shuri proceed to say “who said you're going to enjoy slumber like you weren’t just being a smart ass on the phone” You started to regret the conversation “about that I can explain that ok listen so what happens is you woke me up at a bad time so due to that you got some attitude” Shuri rolled her eyes Riri said “Ooh y/n you in trouble “ she got up and left.

You proceed to get up and hit the dance floor your song was “all I need by Lloyd” and you sang the lyrics while looking at shuri. you then begin to slowly move your hips to the beat of the song you felt shuri put her hands on your waist while your dance Shurwhispersed in your ear “You're going to regret your smart mouth and your dancing” You continue dancing because, to be honest, you gave 0 fucks about that because after this song you were going to dip or so you thought. Then they played “under the influence by Chris Brown” you liked this song and made a dance to this with your friends for fun and it looked like they had the set up that yall needed on the dance floor you dragged shuri into a chair and your other friends did it to their love also.

youtube

The dance

After you finished you were about to leave the dance floor when they played in for it by tory lanez which you also made a dance for at this point you were thinking the DJ was just setting you up. You did your dance at this time you finally left the people clapped after both of the dances you got your stuff and were heading in the door before a force pulled you back you looked up and turned around and of course, it was queen shuri she whispered in your ear “where do you think you're going you trying to be slick and act like that mouth and dancing ain't get your ass all in trouble “ You begin to try to get loose from the force because you knew that your legs and back was going to ache even though we where friends, we were friends with benefits. The force become stronger and pulled you back “Not so soon doll where do you think you're going” she said in a seductive voice that voice could damn near give shuri everything she asked for in the voice. “Oh, shit I should’ve ran when I had the chance” shuri mumbled “should’ve “as she picked you up with her hand's lowkey gripping your ass

you trying to think of a way to not do this ehh too late now you thought damn it, she walked in the elevator and took us to the 5 floors the highest floor and then she went through some secret passages the music still played on the speaker “talk to me by Jason durleo” and of course just, of course, you made a dance to this also you started to move like you were doing the dances whenyou were moving your boobs hips and ass while shuri was still carrying you she said “what you doing all that moving for “ You replied “I made a dance for this also its one of my favorites but my favorite is in for it, “ you said happy “You wanna dance huh” she questioned you while placing you on the bed “nahhh, “ you said becoming scared of what was finna happen next.

Shuri then began to get on top of you while her necklace dangling in your face you proceed to start heavy breathing she looks at you and says “ hmm this dress did compliment your curves and body well but looks like we won’t need it anymore one we do this little fun activity” she then proceeds to take the straps off of your shoulder you were staring at her while smirking at her she smiles. she then takes off the other strap of your dress showing your underwear set that you just put on and had no effort of it is taking off like the way it was going be taking off shuri began to kiss your neck and bite like she was a vampire but she was your vampire she would leave marks so you would cover them with makeup. you let out soft moan with each kiss and mark she had made on your neck and she slowly went down to your chest and un clipped your bra and kissed one breast while holding the other and than switched she knew exactly what to do this obviously wasn’t are the first rodeo she went to you stomach and than took off your lace underwear and than throw it on the floor she looked at it and proceed to say “look at you being messy for the queen” she smiled at you while you could barley stay still she started rubbing it to slowly but than went faster this made you let out long moans “shuri slow down “ you second quicker than the flash she slowled down for a second but than went faster than went and started rubbing your clit and start fingering you faster and faster and than a tide came out of your body fast and she kept going faster and faster each second you moaned and than flipped her over so you became on top of her you took off her black suit that she had on the threw it not caring where it would land you took of her bra to and started giving her kisses shuri lett out some moans and than you took her pants off and boxers that just made smirk more at her she flipped you back over “not letting you get there the easy there princess “ She said in her seductive tone “Can’t accept that a princess will dominate a queen “ you chuckle . she then kept going making your back do some arches like a bridge she then fingers you faster but stops to add a 3rd finger and you let out a moan she then goes fast and she starts to phase she stops and says “Sit on my face “ you look at her confused “Did I say lay there and look stupid or sit on my face don’t make me repeat my self y/n” You ain't want to do it but you did who knows what the consequence would be. you sit on her face while you feel her tongue do some action in your pussy you slowly grind on her face having the bed move swiftly in the motion you feel shuri run out of breath and get up she then says lets get you washed up looks as we had to much fun. we then take a shower together which was not the best decision because the shower wasn’t the only thing getting steamy

Ikr it’s soo messed up, your uncle killing your dad. I’d be pretty bitter too regardless of if he knew about Erik’s existence or not.

Soo that Lloyd background where is it? Is it out or in the works?👀

Yeah, Erik was born into royal blood. We see the difference between being raised in a good healthy environment, T’Challa and Shrui. Where as Erik saw these strange people murder his father. He was a kid! Of course he’s angry. Again, it’s why we sympathize with Erik. He was a good and developed villain. Take away his looks, he was a good villain. Although! The makeup in Black Panther is some of my favorite! I don’t think you guys understand the amount of research that was done in order to create these different tribes. That is practical effects makeup, and it’s spectacular. All the secrets and even the design of the Dora Milaje’s tattoos, there was thought put into each of them. Erik’s scars ahh! It’s amazing that makeup team is top notch! Also some of the nicest people you will ever meet!

No…it’s a completed story, and one of my favorite I’ve ever written!

I guess it’s okay to talk about Black Panther spoilers now right? This isn’t written in any kind of order, just whatever spewed from my brain first.

I absolutely loved the movie. Everyone brought their best to the table with this one. The acting, directing, writing, all of it hit so perfectly.

Queen Ramonda is easily the most beautiful being in the entire MCU. The lady is the definition of STUNNING.

The ladies in general shone wonderfully in this movie. I loved how complex they were, being beautiful, strong, smart, and assertive all at once.

The way this movie dealt with grief was handled incredibly well. You could tell there was a lot of respect there too, and that the people making this are coming from a place of love and loss. Chadwhick’s absence was felt but it didn’t feel empty, if that makes sense. Like yes he’s not there but his presence was everywhere, especially in moments were the characters were grieving.

Shuri’s arc in this was 🤯 Like holy fuck. One of the best character developments in the MCU thus far. Her journey made sense too, and you can definitely see where her emotions and choices steamed from. Honestly I wondered if this was gonna be a villain origin story for her, and even if she did go that route I don’t think I could ever consider her villainous. Her choices would be justified. She grew so much from that happy go lucky little sister from the first movie 🥺😢😭 She had to grow up fast and my heart aches for her. I was happy to see her interacting so well with Riri! She finally found a friend closer to her own age. I hope we see more of them. Riri was really endearing and I can’t wait for her show!

And now for Namor. I fucking loved every bit of him. The good, the bad, and the sexy. Cause fuuuccccckkkk that man’s all sorts of beautiful. But hotness aside, I loved his character. Sure he’s the antagonist but if this story was told through the point of view of the Talokanil, he’s definitely the hero. The man is a great leader and true king. No one can deny that. Everything he did was for his people. He lives and fights for his people and sees them as his family. Hell he even admitted his mistakes and how he compromised them, he didn’t need to do all that yet he did. He’s a man of his word too. Whatever he says, he does. When he said he’d do something, he fucking did it. I just loved everything about his character.

I really didn’t expect to enjoy Namor/Shuri. That pairing wasn’t even in my radar. Like at all. Never crossed my mind. But while watching movie I definitely got some vibes there. I didn’t expect the ship to take off the way it did either! But definitely pleasantly surprised. Do I think it will ever be canon? Nope. Nothing I like ever becomes canon so this is a doomed ship already 🤣 And even in the context of canon, this ship will not work due to the fact that Ramonda’s death was directly caused by Namor. Realistically that’s gonna be impossible to overlook in the light of romance. I just don’t see Shrui excusing that and becoming Namor’s queen or anything without something MAJOR happening to work in Namor’s favor. And that’s where the fun of fanfiction and fandom comes in. You get to tackle that challenge creatively to make the ship work, or you could simply avoid it altogether with AUs. That’s the fun of fanon. And that’s why I have no issue with people shipping it 🤷🏻‍♀️ I really enjoy it too, if anything for the challenges that come with it. Cause challenges prompt characters to change and grow.

Also I’m a sucker for enemies to lovers and this ship is 💯 actually, genuinely, enemies to lovers. I adore that size difference too there’s just something so sweet about it 🥹 I really like how Shuri had her own agency too! Meaning that she’s not gonna be a pushover and she’s her own individual person that gets her goals. Actually they’re both like that! They have their own goals and roles outside of each other and I absolutely dig it. I can’t stand pairings that can’t exist without the other. I need them to have separate lives, identities, and responsibilities. I need them to be complete characters before being a pair.

Also the alliance they formed in the end….. Why did I think of Shuri getting kidnapped or something and Namor finds out? And he sees the bracelet he gave her just laying on the ground and suddenly there’s war in his eyes? *faints* Let him burn the world to find you girl 😭
