Can’t Stay Away’s Fic Rec Friday #3 (06.30.23) - Swim Lessons by @zzbottomz

Title: Swim Lessons (ao3) |

Author(s): ZzBottomZ (ao3) | @zzbottomz (Tumblr)

Fandom(s): Black Panther Wakanda Forever

Pairing/Ship(s): Nashuri (Shuri x Namor)

Type: Normal AU

Rating: Explicit

Status: Unfinished (updating weekly)

Updated: 06.29.23

Summary: Shuri, a brilliant and ambitious young scientist, dedicates herself to her work, sacrificing the usual experiences of her peers. She accidentally overhears a conversation that devastates her, leaving her confidence shattered and her heart broken. Her next door neighbor, Namor, has no problem showing Shuri everything she’s missed out on. What could possibly go wrong?

Why I Love It: Man! This is the second work from this author that I have read. What lead me to them was their “Adventures in Co-Parenting” series. Their take on Shuri and Namor as domestic regulars just trying to navigate raising their adorable daughter in the wake of their divorce is sweet and handled with care. I will say – it does have a Romonda as the villain trope in there, but the focus is mainly on Shuri and Namor finding their way to falling in love again as parents who want the best for their daughter.

The “Swim Lessons” verse is completely different! It’s young scientist Shuri meets cocky playboy Olympic swimmer Namor and it is so good! It’s like one of those rom coms you see where the uptight young woman finds her arrogant next door neighbor to be rude and annoying, but quickly falls for his charms as he tries to get her to loosen up a little. And the best way for Namor to do that with Shuri is to give her the pleasure she’s been missing out on!

It’s got cameos from Riri Wiliams and MJ (among others), which I will leave as a surprise! And the characters are so well written, you just go with it. You’re in this world, you believe this set-up, and you are rooting for Shuri to get the guy, even though they both are trying to pretend like they aren’t falling for each other.

What I really appreciate about this story is that it is updated regularly every week.

Shuri Udaku’s already challenging job search takes a bizarre twist when she crosses paths with arrogant businessman Namor Almehen.

From a tense coffee shop confrontation to unexpected schoolyard drama, their interactions are anything but ordinary.

As Shuri grapples with her growing financial pressures, Namor offers a solution that’s as perplexing as it is tempting.

Can’t Stay Away’s Fic Rec Friday Post #4

12.22.23

My ao3 Bookmarks (if it’s bookmarked, it’s usually a completed fic)

Fic Rec Friday Intro and FAQ

I can’t do multiple posts with elaborate reviews/commentary today. I just wanted to say that over the last few months, while I was grappling with this overwhelmingly depressive sense of doom, profound sadness, hopelessness, and apathy, reading fanfiction was one of the most effective types of escapism I engaged in.

So, here are the fics that I have been reading, keeping track of, and loving:

Almost anything @bardocksheadband-fanfics, but especially:

1. The Re-Education of Mr. Almehen

Fandom: Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

Pairing: Nashuri

Summary: “Namor's life changes in all the right ways the day his student's aunt picks him up from school.”

What I Like About It: It may seem lame af to describe something as “tasteful” and mean it as a compliment, not a slight. I mean, this is a Suga Mama Shuri and a Baby Boy Namor (whom I call Ch’ah in my head) but not in the way you think. It’s a rom-com! It’s sexy, it’s funny, it’s adorable. And these two kinky assholes are in love! Also, he’s a kindergarden teacher; a good one. The way he is written with these kids just makes my ovaries quiver.

2. Filthy Mouth

Fandom: Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

Pairing: Nashuri

Summary: Single father Namor goes on his first blind date and gets his world rocked.

What I Like About It: Almost the same as above, but in reverse! Though more of a straightforward relationship dynamic, not a kept man/woman scenario at all. More of a freak in sheets, lady in the streets situation. But again, there is love and devotion, as there always is with this pairing (well, when writers stay away from the darker dynamics of the ship). This is absolutely amazing. Superbly written, well-paced, tonally balanced, funny, sexy, and somewhat dramatic but not anxiety-inducing. Like, literally perfect.

_______

Almost anything @zzbottomz, but especially:

unfaithful

Fandom: Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

Pairing: Nashuri/Loshuri

Summary: Shuri’s world unravels when she discovers her husband Namor’s infidelity, leading to a heart-wrenching divorce. Amidst the chaos, she finds solace in Loki, a charming entrepreneur with a complicated past of his own. As their unexpected romance flourishes, Shuri grapples with co-parenting challenges, the complexities of new love, and unresolved feelings.

What I Like About It: I mean, I didn’t think that a Love Triangle between Shuri, Loki, and Namor would be so intriguing. That it would be utterly confusing as to who you want to root for. That you would feel your heart beat for the plight of each character. There’s so much at stake, but especially the happiness of a little boy caught in the middle of the mess adults can make of their lives. It’s drama personified, and I live for each installment. Plus, Loki is written so well here, it’s hard not to root for him.

_______

A new writer, or a seasoned one, returned from a long hiatus, inspired by Shuri and Namor:

Before everything by stories_of_grace

Fandom: Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

Pairing: Nashuri

Summary: A year after her mother’s death, Shuri burns her mourning clothes on the beach in Haiti and wakes up not only back in Talokan, but also back in time. Given the chance to do things differently, can she prevent her mother’s death and convince Namor of a peaceful alliance?

What I Like About It: THIS fic is everything I want in a Nashuri. It is another “What If” scenario, mapped and tread carefully. We’ve all imagined what could have been if it had been different, as Namor lamented on the beach that day just after he speared the Black Panther, right before she almost killed him and forced him to yield to her. Go read this! It is so satisfying!

______

There are others, but ta for now! Please enjoy your holidays!

Shuri, a tech expert, becomes obsessively involved with Namor, a social media influencer. What starts as curiosity morphs into a dark fixation, pushing her to manipulate and control the narrative of his life. As her obsession deepens, Shuri is prepared to remove any and all obstacles to possess him completely.
