#the mcu doesnt have nearly enough good fantasy aus so bless this prompt

Summary:  “It’ll be fine, Sarah,” she tells the droopy shapes of trees flanking the path in a low-pitched, poor imitation of her brother, “we got this aaall sorted. Just get this top secret magical object past some crazy mercenaries, the sworn enemy of the Wakandan Royal Guard, a bunch of blown up GRC checkpoints and the whole-ass swamp. No ma’am, you haven’t a drop of miss magic in you. Plain as your mama’s grits since birth. Now you’re playing secret agent and talking to a giant wolf in the middle of the dark.”

this fic is entirely ridiculous in premise and 100% inspired by one of the week 1 prompts for sarahbucky month, which was, i believe, "fantasy au". dont ask me to explain the wider universe plot beyond what happens in this fic -- i rly couldnt tell u whats going on either, but i cant say i was joking when i described the au setting in the tags

i really didnt mean for this to become as romance novel-y as it did, but honestly, i had a lot of fun with it. as a result, though, it's a bit outside of my comfort zone, and im kind of nervous actually posting it. be gentle with me please <3

as always, deepest love to human legend @firstelevens for very patiently reading my drafts. title is from otis redding's "try a little tenderness"; stay safe everyone, and enjoy!
