New fic: post Infinity War

[gwyn]

I saw Infinity War again the other night during the Marvel 10th Anniversay IMAX marathon, and it reminded me of a) how freakin' depressed that movie made me and b) this little ficlet I'd thought about for a while afterward.

Waiting for Deliverance (2343 words) by gwyneth rhys

Summary:

Shuri sits down hard on the floor, running her fingers along the working prototype for the sergeant’s arm. It’s the dull, flat black of unpolished vibranium, just the way her heart feels. There’s no gold patternwork to brighten it, the way his smile brightened his face.

Wow, how many times have you seen that thing? I could barely sit through the whole thing once, it felt so hopeless and depressing....
