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.
