Thank you to the amazing @lilithenaltum for tagging me ☺️ I'm very new to writing fan fiction, so I only have a handful of WIPs (and they all involve Shuri lol), but I'm always thinking up more stories to tell.
Let me know what you all think! Feel free to chime in with thoughts, ideas, etc. (Also, my titles are crap, so don't mind those so much!)
Help Me Help Myself (Shuri x Bucky): Ever since Shuri helped heal Bucky from the damage that HYDRA had done, he's been loyal to her and to Wakanda. The Winter Soldier has found a new purpose, protecting the genius Princess who gave him a second chance at life. But Shuri isn't an 18-year-old girl anymore, and the close relationship Bucky has developed with her over the years is making him realize that he may be getting a little too close. He dutifully tries to push his feelings aside in the name of propriety, until he notices the Princess may have another admirer (possibly one of the X-Men??) who could change everything.
You Bring Out the Animal (Shuri x Steve x Bucky, Shuri x Natasha, Shuri x Loki x Brunnhilde, possibly more pairings): Shuri is tired of being seen as the untouchable Queen of Wakanda. Resolving to take her love life (or lack thereof) into her own hands, she decides to send out private invitations to a little get-together under the radar that will help her explore her options. Sexy shenanigans ensue.
Assets & Liabilities (Shuri x Tony, slight Loki x Shuri ): When Shuri joins the Avengers as the new Black Panther, she's excited about working with the infamous Tony Stark. She gets a rude awakening when he is less than thrilled to have her on the team. She can't figure out why, until she discovers a secret that he never intended for anyone to find out. And he'll do anything to keep it quiet.
Lights On (Shuri x Tony): Tony meets the Princess of Wakanda for the first time at a symposium in New York. Sparks fly, and he finds himself chasing her halfway across the world. But she's not about to make it easy on him.
Build (Shuri x Bucky): Post-A4 AU where the snap is reversed and everyone who was ashed is brought back. Bucky never got to tell Shuri how he felt before Thanos showed up. He had a lot of time to think in the Soul Stone, and now nothing will stand in the way of confessing the truth to her.
Untitled AU inspired by Netflix's "Altered Carbon" (Shuri x Bucky, Shuri x Tony, Steve x Tony): In a future where human consciousness is stored on a removable bio-hard drive and bodies are replaceable, a centuries-old mercenary nicknamed "The Winter Soldier" is offered a chance at redemption: solve the kidnapping of billionaire Tony Stark, and his slate will be wiped clean. When Bucky refuses, Stark's desperate husband, Steve Rogers, sweetens the deal by offering to reunite him with the love of his life, Shuri. Except Shuri was murdered ages ago, hard drive and all. Yet, something tells Bucky that Rogers is telling the truth, and he takes the case. It leads him to the brink of insanity, and he finds out how far he's willing to go to get back the one thing in the universe he can't be without.
Untitled (Shuri x Loki): Inspired by What If? Vol 2 #12, where the Avengers visit Asgard, instead of the X-Men, and Loki wants to make Shuri his Queen.
Also Untitled (Shuri x Bucky): Bucky is a shape shifter who escapes containment after years of torture and experimentation. He somehow finds himself in a remote country in Africa with little to no memory of who he is or how he got there. Half out of his mind and dying, a mysterious woman with incredible abilities happens upon him and brings him back. But is she real, or a figment of his broken psyche? Or something else entirely?
So that's all for now, folks! No idea how long it will take me to write all of these, but I'm incredibly excited to be working on them. Hopefully, these are stories you all will enjoy! 💕
