    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.

    Summary

    But he did not listen, because of course, he would not. He leaned forward, his face unbelievably near. "See, that is the problem. I would rather have you punish me with a fight, with your fists, or your panther claws, than have my people suffer. Is that not fair?" His words were close to a plea now, and all she could do was listen. To let him speak, and tell her, what was clearly not meant to be said elsewhere. "If you hate me so much, Princess, then let that hatred fall on me, and me alone."

    [Two years since their battle. Two years since the day she spared him, and promised an alliance that would have them facing the world together. And yet, she cannot hide the hatred in her heart as she navigates a world of inevitable war and political strife. But despite her anger, despite every effort she made to keep Namor an arm's length away, she would soon discover that whether she liked it or not, the sea would always call to her. And perhaps, even be a part of her dreams.]

    Summary

    James Buchanan Barnes lay in a glass pod in the middle of the table, frozen since he fell. Steve’s hands were on the glass before he realized he’d moved.
    “Wait, Captain!”
    “Get him out,” Steve whispered, his hands searching for a clasp, a keypad, something.
    “Captain, we need to keep him in stasis—“
    “I said get him out!”

    In which Bucky Barnes lay frozen in the Alps for seventy years only to be woken up a year after Steve Rogers was uncovered from the Arctic.
