Jul. 19th, 2008 08:51 pmOkay, no, Bedlam, no. Bad Bedlam.
I don't care if it would be cool, you are not writing post-Last Battle stories where Susan stopped aging when she reached her last Queen Susan age and sixty years later is now an American (because she left England after that train accident, of course) top-secret FBI agent in, like, the paranormal affairs bureau when all of a sudden she gets a "ransom" note from some bad guy types who have resurrected Peter and want them to find a way to Narnia so they could exploit it. No, no, no. "Because it would be cool" is not a valid excuse. Crack after-the-books stories count as AUs and you are not writing either one in this fandom.
I don't even care if she goes over her superiors' heads and rescues bleary, drugged, twenty-three-year-old Peter all by herself, then realizes that she's being tailed by another agent, a hot young thing who wants to know if those rumors about her are true and also (of course) has the hots for her. And then they all kick ass.
NO NO NO. There is crack, and then there is crack. Peter Pevensie/Christopher Chant is not crack. Eomer/Susan and Lucy/Eowyn and Peter/Legolas is not crack. THIS IS CRACK.
Even if it's not strictly an AU.

Date: 2008-07-20 05:45 am (UTC)Is Peter pissed he's been pulled from heaven, or just relieved to see Susan? Imagine feeling tired and hot and hungry again after years of being in
StepfordAslan's Country. What if Peter starts taking copious amounts of drugs to start feeling like he's in Aslan's Country again?OMG IMAGINE HIS BAD ACID TRIPWhat if this whole affair galvanizes Susan to search for a way into Narnia herself?
"You can't."
"What do you mean I can't?!" 'Cos like, she's been denied all these years, so she is extra indignant.
"Aslan destroyed it. There is nothing left."
OMG
*ENABLES ENABLES ENABLES*

Date: 2008-07-20 07:09 am (UTC)I don't think he feels like he's been in Aslan's country for years -- and I have such a poor opinion of Aslan's country anyway (which is, uh, why I probably should not write this), that I think it'd be like waking up for him. He remembers it -- but very, very vaguely. Plus,, you know, drugged and groggy for at least fifty pages.
I am just amused at Susan's partner, who's one of those cocky guys who thinks he's all that and would love to get into her pants. He's just all, "So, Pevensie, who is this guy?"
"My brother."
"Your...younger brother, right?"
"No, he's a year older than me."
"...so, uh, are those rumors true? You know, the ones that say you're...not all human?"
"Oh, I'm definitely human." *cough*daughterofeve*cough*
"So, uh..."
"I was born in 1926."
"...you look pretty good for your age."
"Thank you."
And then Peter/partner banter (at this point, Peter's totally still drugged up): "Let me get this straight: we're in America, you haven't aged, it's the year 2008, and I've just been raised from the dead?"
Susan: "That's about it, yes."
Peter: "Okay."
Partner: "You seem pretty blase about this."
Peter: "Well, when I was fifteen I became the High King of a magical country in the back of a wardrobe and then got de-aged fifteen years later, and a year later went back and found out thirteen hundred years had passed and I had to go fight a war again, so this...is pretty much an average day for me."
*snickers*

Date: 2008-07-20 07:38 am (UTC)Oh so do I! Am weirded out by Stepford Country, that is. And we are not the only ones! I love fic in which Aslan's Country is weird and creepy and cruel between the lines. (I just wrote one.)
PETER. Is there nothing you can do?! HOW ABOUT ADJUSTING TO THE TWENTY FIRST CENTURY. HILARITY (and maybe some angst, just for kicks) ENSUES. What about the openness of queer culture, especially since your Peter sleeps with men? I want to see the scene where Susan teaches Peter to use a gun. Well, he may know already. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START.

On a non-incestual note, I want this Susan to be best friends with Jakita Wagner SO FUCKING MUCH. Words can't even encompass, yo.
