    Summary

    The people of Talokan believe in the concept of soulmates. It activates the moment a Talokanil sees their fated mate for the first time and then they shall go through the typical period of courting.

    However, even after years of this tradition, nobody has ever seen the result of an unaccepted mate moreso, a fated partner who's another species from you until their King met the Wakandan Princess, Shuri.

    Summary

    “Namor wants a promise and a token of a future where we stand together, not alone.”

    “Ah, I see. Well, I say get him one of those fancy edible arrangements and be done with it. The really expensive kind, with fruits I wonder if he’s ever tasted,” She replies, grinning. M’Baku is silent, as though goading her, so Shuri makes a bigger spectacle of it, “Or! Or…I know. Get him a Starbucks gift card for $500 dollars. No one I know would be unhappy with that.”

    “While I’m sure those would be lovely,” M’Baku gritted out, “Namor had already named his request. And he was very specific about it.”

    “Oh? So, what does he want?”

    “You.”

     

    --

    Shuri marries Namor. For political gain; of course.

    A slightly 'Hades x Persephone'-inspired re-telling.

    Summary

    After Namor threatens Shuri with his ultimatum to burn the world together or go to war with Talokan, she turns his offer on him to stall for time.

    “Convince me, and I will stay here. With you, and burn the world together.”

    (Where Wakanda hasn't found her and Riri yet, and Shuri gives Namor a week to woo her into this insane plan of his).

    Summary

    A memory of flames licking at the pillars of the throne room on the ancestral plane, N’Jadaka’s mouth curled in a mocking sneer, filled Shuri’s memory. Fire and earth. “You were happy to die at my hands,” she echoed, the skin on her arms pebbling as a shiver ran through her.

    “Yes. But I only wished for one thing, and I had not gotten it before my death. So I was glad you showed mercy in the end.”

    “And what did you wish for?” Shuri asked, advancing on him from the bed. “Your people swimming up the river to break Wakanda’s borders? An empire of blood against all other nations in the world?”

    “I wished,” said Namor very quietly, watching her and not moving, “to hear you say my name.”

    ____________________

    Shuri, who has given up the throne of Wakanda, has a lot of time to think in Haiti about the future of Wakanda. Fortunately, someone else is more than happy to offer some assistance, but when new developments arise, she and Namor of Talokan must forge a tentative alliance while navigating a more treacherous sea than either of them expected.
