just because everything's changing doesn't mean it's never been this way before

Right, about an hour after I posted that I never wanted to think about Peta again, I finished writing the scene I stopped in the middle of. And it's kind of interesting. (Also, I think I may have lied about the emotional plot being "home.")

( in which Caspian is confused, Susan is frazzled, Peta is furious, Edmund is more like himself, and Lucy has more of a speaking part than ever before )

So what do you all get out of that? *curious*

dust note

The Dust in the Air prologue has been edited so that it's not Peter's hunting knife Arnau uses for the ritual, but Lucy's dagger.

(no subject)

Okay, ducks, riddle me this: 1940, the Pevensies enter Narnia. Lucy's what, ten? And Peter, five years older, is fifteen. 1941, time two, Peter and Susan are too old at approximately sixteen and fifteen. 1942, time three, Edmund and Lucy are too old at fourteen and thirteen, Eustace is, like, twelve or eleven? 1943, Eustace and Jill are around twelve or thirteen? 1949: Peter's twenty-four, Susan's twenty-three, Edmund's twenty-one, Lucy's nineteen, and Eustace and Jill are seventeen or eighteen and the only ones still in school.

And they're not too old?

Aslan is very active throughout VotDT and SC, after having relatively minimal presence throughout LWW and PC. (Excuse me while I randomly combine bookverse and movieverse. It's a thing. Also ignore how fucked my ages probably are. Again.) And again, ye olde Aslan Conspiracy Theory. He did not bring them through in LWW, he did not bring them through in PC, he did bring them through in VotDT and he definitely did bring them through in SC. And yet in LB, Tirian summons them. Aslan did not bring them through. Tirian does. And -- Narnia?

And there's that whole train crash thing. Whatever. Irrelevant.

OH LEWIS WHAT NOW?

(Yes. I think about these things all the friggin' time.)
