You need a story, don’t you?
The smirk on Shuri’s face was never a good thing. The cup in her hand had lines of chocolate criss-crossing whip cream on the top. “That is not coffee.”
“No brother, this is Starbucks. Okoye made me promise I’d make you try it while we’re in America.”
T’Challa narrowed his eyes. “I do not trust it when the two of you conspire against me.”
“Only because we have the vision you lack.” Shuri held out the cup until he finally took it.
Two sips into it, he could finally pause. “This is not coffee.”
“No, Brother, this is a frappachino.” Her smirk blossomed into a real smile, even as she bounced on her toes. “What do you think?”
T’Challa took another sip, mostly to hide his smile from her. “It’s very sweet. It’s more of a dessert than coffee.”
“And that’s the point! Sometimes you just need a shot of sweet with your coffee, not a five hour ceremony.” Shuri rolled her eyes, stepping back with exaggerated frustration.
“I think if I allowed Starbucks into Wakanda, I would quickly have a problem with overly caffinated people in my life.”
Shuri paused, her smile dropping into a frown. With a quickness born of the Panther, she had swiped the cup from his hands and turned to stalk away.
Only then did he allow the smile to spread across his face. “I also think that Wakanda suffers from too much of a monopoly in their coffee markets.”
Shuri turned to glare at him, then pointedly took a long sip from the cup. “I am going to have Okoye kick your ass for this!”
“Tsh Shuri, such language!”
Behind the royal siblings back, Ayo shared a moment to roll her eyes at her partner Milaje, then took off after the fleeing pair.

Like that? That’s just a sample of my quick snippet story writing. If you like it, well guess what? I’m opening up for commissions!
What I’m offering: I can do short 300-500 word drabbles like this, larger flash fiction of 1000 words, and up to a short story of 5000 words, there-abouts. I’m willing to work in most fandoms, but I may ask for a quick overview of the character before I run to teh googles. My main fandoms are a lot of the mainstream ones. On AO3, I’m mostly known for a Leverage/MCU fic I did last year. I’ll link it below. Doctor Who, Lord of the Rings, Jurassic Park, Wonder Woman, Star Wars and yes, Star Trek both, an eclectic baker’s dozen of writers, Pixar and Disney, and many many more are fandoms I’m familiar with. And I’ve picked up quite a bit from others over the years from friends. So don’t count me out if yours isn’t on the list!
ALSO! I’m offering Self Insert fictions. Others would call them Mary Sue/Gary Stu stories, but ugh.. That phraseology is so last century, plus it’s also very reductive. I’ve seen sections of my identity in mainstream offerings, but I’ve rarely ever seen my full self. Some of you may have never seen yourself at all. Or you see something so bad and stereotypical, it makes you cry. I think that’s bullshit. So bring your lovely self here and tell me what story you want and a little about you, and I will put you in the adventure. You found Cap’s shield? Smackdown on an alien in NYC during the Chitauri invasion? Helped Sam and Dean find the book they needed in the library? Told Sherlock off for being rude to John? Backed your wheelchair up enough to pin a Storm trooper in a corner? Bump into a scared kid crossing the border who didn’t know where to go, so you pointed them towards Xavier’s school?
