Narnia fic: "Make and Break Harbor"

...apparently, I have committed fic when I should have been (a) studying or (b) sleeping. Fortunately my final is on Wednesday, not Tuesday. At least it's Golden Age fic, which I haven't written in more than a year?

A follow-up to The Coastwise Lights, no pairings, no warnings. The surrender of the Prince of Terebinthia to the High King of Narnia.

(Note: posted to DW alone for three_weeks_for_dw; I'll post a notification on LJ after the three weeks are up.)

( 'You fought well, your grace.' )

yeah

Seriously, after a year, Golden Age Narnia suddenly returns and says HI HI HI I DO IN FACT HAVE MORE STORIES TO TELL. I mean, it's lovely, don't get me wrong, I now want to write Peter/Osumare after this and Jaisen Ettore's origin story and fortunately that is all I know of right now, but this is on top of other parts of my brain going, "TWO MORE RILIAN STORIES" and also, "Aha, the third Jill story!" and also, "Now would be a great time to write that DVD commentary on The Land of Silent Seas!"

Look, brain, I appreciate the effort, but now is not actually a good time. I'm willing to reschedule for next week, though, and also, please let me know what's happening in the next chapter of Dust, as that appears to be the one thing you aren't plotbunnying wildly. Unless you count that JP thing, but I have no idea where that's going.

oh, yeah, my lovely friend FINALS strikes again

*weeps sadly into Wheelock* It's not that I hate Latin, I love Latin, it's just that there are so many goddamn words and I wasn't studying as much as I should have over the dead week. Also because my final exam format is stupid.

(See, the Department decided that the class as a whole did too poorly on our last quiz for our final exam to be just on the last two chapters, of which we had not yet been quizzed, so instead they cut out the last two chapters entirely and instead our final covers, rather jerkily, chapters 35 through 38. Vocab from 37 and 38, which is, incidentally, the VOCAB THAT WAS ON THE LAST QUIZ, transformations from 35-37, sentence translations from 36-38, a paragraph from either 37 or 38, and then an Unseen Passage from the back of the book.)

I mean, I will admit I clearly should have been studying more over the dead week, BUT STILL. Also, I wish I wasn't taking this at freaking eight o'clock in the morning, and also, that I am remotely likely to get enough sleep, since I was up late last night writing.

Meanwhile, I've been having weird problems with passive tense. (Actually, the funny thing is that I tend to use passive a lot in English, it's just translating it that's the problem.) AGH. Looking back at chapters 35 and 36 to try and remember the verbs for the transformations, but I haven't even looked at the sentences yet. *headdesk* And I'm going to have to write out the irregular verbs so that I can remember them -- although in these chapters that's just fio, fieri, factus sum and eo, ire, ii, itum. But 35 was the dative with special verbs.

I really want to go to bed right now. *stares into space* I really wish I didn't have my Etruscans final tomorrow too, I would have been able to spend more time on Latin. (I got As on everything else we did in Latin this semester; I am reasonably certain that I won't get lower than a B on the final exam, which is really more like the fourth test, which probably won't bring down my overall grade too much. For Etruscans I didn't do as well on the midterm as I'd hoped -- I find TAs, when grading, are much more strict than professors -- so I'm more worried about getting the A.)

Okay, I will just look over everything, then take a shower and go to bed.
