Summary
His weakness was water, she had figured him out. But she had spared him. So why did he still feel as though all the water had been sucked from his skin?She’d won, it was over. And now she was alone. But the world moves on, even when it feels like you can’t. Her people needed her, and she would be the Panther they deserved; even if her new powers felt more like a curse than a blessing. Post Wakanda Forever, slow burn Namor/Shuri, alternating POVs
Note
I've given in and joined the fray for writing these two. As soon as I saw them interacting on screen I knew I was gonna be trash for them and their dynamic. I'm really just flying by the seat of my pants for this one. Enjoy some thoughtful Namor for the first chapter.Title from Water by Pentatonix (which honestly fits how I want Namor's pining to be for this fic; mans has gotta work for it):]
