AH, THE SWEET GLOW OF COMPLETE CRACK

Excuse me, I need to bask.

I need to bask in 69K of FINISHED NARNIA GENDERFUCK PC REVISIONISM.

For reference? FINISHED.

(I mean, for now. At some point in the future I have to start in on edits, which are going to be substantial but no so substantial I have to rewrite the entire story, because hi, it's not like the plot is going to change.)

...I can't believe I wrote 69K of Narnia genderfuck. (Okay, it's more like 68,781, but it rounds.)

okay, the basking has worn off, now down to business

Part one of Be Like Water is done in draft, which is a moment of vast YAY, but the key word here would be "draft." I don't suppose there's anyone willing to submit to beta duty? For, yes, the nearly 70K of Narnia genderfuck, in which Caspian is whipped, Aslan's How turns into Parris Island, Miraz does not understand the harvest, and Peter is a girl?

Not hardcore beta duty, mind, just plot stuff. Possibly over the course of several months and at least two or maybe three drafts. Or just this first one, depending. But it is 69K of Narnia genderfuck and PC revisionism.

*bats eyelashes* Please?

i need a tv show

And today in the wonderful world of Narnia AUs, I will give my POV character a concussion, thus rendering him unable to adequately parse the events happening around him. SMART, BEDLAM. REAL SMART.

The Tirian/Eustace subtext in Dust 9 (I switched POVs) is pretty much up there with the Peter/Susan, Edmund/Susan, and Peter/Susan/Edmund subtext in Dust 5, though.

Seriously, this is going to be the most boring chapter ever because Eustace is going to spend a couple of days going, "oh, woe is me, my head is pounding and my ears are ringing and for some reason there are two of you and you are really blurry." Except, well, that's what happens when you get knocked out really hard, and Eustace got his head smashed into a table in Dust 7.

Although it really limits my options as far as this chapter goes. (On the other hand, though, Peter was starting to channel Dean Winchester, and that was kind of a scary thing, so I figured changing POVs was a good idea.)

Could go back to Tirian, though. At this point, though, I can only cycle through the three of them before I start repeating. Let's see where horribly concussed Eustace takes us, shall we? Besides making the Tirian/Eustace subtext really obvious. (No, seriously. WAY UP THERE.)

ETA: I see we shall call this the chapter of excessive Wikipedia-ing and head injuries. Also, Peter can be kind of a bastard sometimes.
