    Summary

    A heartbeat of silence passes, like his father is considering the question. Like he’s trying to pull up an excuse that Lo’ak might believe, he thinks bitterly, fresh, hot tears wetting his cheeks. So desperately, he just wants his dad. “I know I’m not good, and that I’m always making things worse–”

    “Lo’ak.” His father interrupts, finally. It’s not the scolding Lo’ak had been prepared for, that he deserved, and it startles him enough that he glances up, damp eyes wide. His tone had been unexpectedly gentle.

    There are tears tracking down his fathers face, a look that Lo’ak doesn’t have a name for creasing his features. “My boy, I love you. You know that, don’t you? That I love you?"

    Or, it doesn't always take a dead son for Jake to realize his other one is suffering.

    Summary

    The woman ties the end of Namor’s clothes to Shuri’s, then prays. Or, Shuri thinks it’s praying, except that the woman’s head bends towards Namor. It’s like if I got married to Bast, Shuri realizes, and it’s a miracle she doesn’t burst into laughter right then and there, at her own wedding, thirty-thousand feet under the sea.

    -

    (In exchange for the safety of Riri Williams, Shuri agrees to rule alongside Namor of Talokan as his wife.)

    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.
