A MESSAGE FROM THE AUTHOR
MESSAGE FROM THE AUTHOR... (again)
Hey everyone! It's the Dangerous Sapphire strikes again, this time rewriting the WinterPrincess fanfic "Don't Be Scared".
It's a fairly simple story that went something like this, if memory serves me correctly...
Taking place after Black Panther's events, and in an alternate timeline that delays the coming of Thanos (because there were other subsequent works from this author, which involved Thanos coming into play, 10 years after this). Bucky undergone treatment and had his mind fully erased of HYDRA's programming. He dawned the title "White Wolf" in the community, and after training the War Dogs with his skillset, he becomes the leader of the Hatut Zeraze, and eventually, the love of Shuri's life.
They were able to get married (past some serious cultural and political shit), and not too long after, Shuri is expecting. Everyone is excited, but Bucky gets cold feet and began fearing... something. Shuri, having to manage carrying a child with super soldier DNA, decides to call Bucky aside and talk to him. He struggles to not upset her, tries hiding his feelings, but Shuri draws out of him his fears of being a parent. Fears of not living up to what their child needs and deserves, fears not being a perfect father. Shuri laughs, stating to Bucky that he's more than ready, possibly more ready than she is, knowing of his secret stash of parenting books. She helps him realize that his love alone is all the child needs, and that she knows without doubt, he would make this best father ever.
A few months later, and Bucky is allowed into the maternity room where Shuri just delivered their newborn son. My favorite part of this was when Bucky held his son for the first time, and sobbed with joy as the boy had the same blue eyes as his.
So... if ANYONE remembers this fic, please let me know. I'm in the process now of rewriting ANOTHER lost fanfic :(
I will SOON have "On This Mountain" updated this weekend, do check that out. I'm also working a little at a time on "Sojourners" my only original fanfic.
