Summary
Nile finally boarded the ferry to the island of Ko Chang. She had two bags at her feet, obnoxiously reflective sunglasses covering half her face, and her hair wrapped up in a silk bandanna. She was ready to relax.
Except her mind refused.
The whole immortal but dead to the world while people hunt us thing apparently took longer than eight months, one week, and three days to process, who knew?

Summary
••• on hiatus for rewrites •••
Thanks to Okoye, Ramonda already knew about Talokan when Namor made his ultimatum by the river. As a result, the queen delivers a counteroffer: A true alliance between Wakanda and Talokan, sealed with a treaty.
Fascinated by the warrior who bested him in battle and challenged him with Talokanil Law, Attuma tries to unravel how Okoye acquired this knowledge. She seems to hate him deeply even though they had never met prior to the battle at the bridge. If there was one thing Attuma loved more than fighting, it was solving a mystery.
But Okoye was determined to hang on to her secrets. Revealing them might just make her fall apart all over again.

Summary
She sent her projections up for the presentation. "The Talokanil still tend to delineate their society along bloodlines. While there is some movement, artisans belong to certain certain clans, as do the scientist-engineers, houseworkers, soldiers and so on. The generals of the army are descendants of K’uk’ulkan through his cousins, for example. In such a culture, the ties within families are the strongest even relatives by marriage."
The Elder's brows furrowed. "Am I understanding you correctly, Princess? That your suggestion for strengthening our alliance is arranged marriages between our available tribal leaders and theirs?"
Shuri smiled, a forced twisted thing. "Not quite, Elder. My suggestion for strengthening this alliance is an arranged marriage between K’uk’ulkan and me."

Summary
Shuri is the lead designer of Black Panther Inc, a company that specialises in green, biomimicry-based tech. She’s brilliant in the lab, hilarious in her friend groups, but extremely awkward at romance. Fortunately, she has created a How To Date and Sex Successfully program which she can hopefully execute with the help of Namor. You see, dating and sex requires more than research. It needs some hands-on experience.
Namor owns an architectural and restoration firm, Talokanil, which designs sustainable new builds or restores older builds. He has also been absolutely thirsty for Shuri since Talokanil and Black Panther Inc first partnered up two years ago. When she comes to him with her program, he refuses to let this chance slip away. Even if Shuri's plan is all for the sake of shooting her shot with her teenage crush, James Barnes, her brother, T'Challa's, college buddy.
Plus BPI and Talokanil's legal VPs butting heads as a form of foreplay, Lab Rat Squad parties, big brothers with a PhD in dry humour, and a quartet of very confused Americans who were just trying to enjoy a birthday party.

Summary
Shuri doesn't want to go to a resort on spring break; she has way too much critical, life-or-death work to do in the lab. Ch'ah Toh doesn't want to go back home to his cousin's resort on spring break; he has way too much respect for his culture to sell it out to tourists. One mezcal tasting flight later, they can't seem to keep their hands off each other. Or any of their other body parts either.
Plus bonus terminal genetic diseases, estranged cousins who want to Be Better, all the angst of trying to get tenured in the humanities, living up to perceived family expectations, and royalty.

Summary
A pearl is created when an irritant, such as a small piece of sand, finds its way into an oyster or mollusk. The oyster or mollusk starts secreting a fluid to coat the irritant. This material is nacre, layers of organic material with a carbon-based mineral known as aragonite. The uniform layering is the same thickness as the wavelength of visible light, so the light reflecting from its interior surface interferes with the light reflecting from the outer surface, creating iridescence. After six months to several years, this protective mechanism creates a pearl.

The Fire Lord Is Dead by ErsatzErmine

Summary
A messenger hawk practically fell from the sky and onto the deck. It croaked quietly in misery when a soldier scooped it up, its wings fluttering from exhaustion, feathers tipped in frost. The urgency that had driven the bird to fly beyond reason was immediately clear when the scroll was untied from its leg and slipped free from the oilcloth that had protected it from the elements – the wax seal of the head Fire Sage gleamed in the dying sunlight.
**
“Dead.” Admiral Zhao stared at the scroll. The almost habitual smirk was gone from his face, and his expression was almost slack from the shock. “The Fire Lord is dead?”
***
OR:
Before the Fire Nation fleet arrives at the Northern Water Tribe, news arrives that Ozai is dead. The planned invasion is called off, and Iroh and Zuko return to Caldera City to deal with the sudden change in regimes.

Summary
As Jack lowered his hand and shook off the condensation he’d wiped from the glass, he got a good look inside and froze.
Because he knew who this was lying beneath him in this rusty metal box. Despite being submerged under icy water and a face mask covering the majority of her face, he knew those loose black curls and high cheekbones immediately.
“No fucking way,” Jack stuttered under his breath, before raising his voice, “ROBBY!”
OR
Sci-Fi AU, where Jack and his crew of rebels stumble upon the body of the woman who was once the face of the rebellion, who disappeared without a trace over thirty years ago.

Summary
Anthony is not prepared for the maelstrom that erupts inside him. Dorset, again? At a soiree that Anthony himself had not been invited to, and yet Miss Sharma had extended an invitation to Thomas Dorset - a man who had played her false! - ignoring, of course, that this had been entirely at Anthony’s own request.
He feels hot and cold all over. Is this confirmation, then, that Dorset is earnestly pursuing Miss Sharma? It will not do. He is sure they are ill-suited to each other.
or: Dorset starts to court Kate in earnest after the races. Anthony, predictably, takes this incredibly badly. Things unravel from there.
