Fic: The Princess and the Folly

[community profile] crossworks has been revealed! I received a lovely fic, a Sorcery & Cecelia/Young Wizards fic by sinkauli, The Unexpected Guest. The character voices are excellent, if you enjoy either fandom go check it out, you shouldn't need knowledge of both fandoms to get the story.

Here's what I wrote:

Title: The Princess and the Folly
Fandom: Rivers of London/Marvel Cinematic Universe
Characters: Peter Grant, Shuri
Written for: Vaznetti in Crossworks 2021
Betaed by: Gemini Demimonde
Length: 5271 words
Rating: General Audiences
Summary: Princess Shuri wants to see if there are any differences between Wakandan magic and Newtonian. The Folly is happy to oblige her.

On AO3. On Tumblr. On Pillowfort.


The call came in on the Folly's landline, not my mobile. Which was fortunate since my mobile was turned off, as it often was in the Folly, even if I wasn't planning on doing magic. I was up a ladder in the far corner of the reference library, and I had to hustle to get to a phone before whoever it was gave up. (Molly was taking the afternoon off to do … something with Foxglove.) I grabbed the bakelite handset and held it up to my ear. "Hello, Special Assessment Unit, Peter Grant speaking."

"This is the Wakandan Embassy," said a deep voice in a melodious accent I had spent a lot of time in the last year listening to in the news and on youtube. "Please hold for Princess Shuri."

I froze. It had to be a practical joke, right? )

Summary: Shuri wants to fix everything. Alas, some things don't work that way.

At AO3.  On tumblr.  On Pillowfort.

Wakanda was, objectively, the most beautiful place in the world.

Shuri knew this, because when she was thirteen she had made a computer algorithm to determine what places were the most beautiful.

It was an interesting challenge, but all it did was confirm what Shuri already knew—that Wakanda was the most beautiful place in the world—and so once the assignment was over she turned her focus to more interesting things. )
