The story I am writing is not the story I meant to write. I am distracted from the glory of the flowering of Narnia by Peter and Edmund bickering with each other. I mean, amusing as this is

("I only blame you every other time Narnia wakes me up in the middle of the night screaming that you’ve fallen down a well.”

“I have never – oh, that does not count.”

“It was a hole in the ground with water at the bottom, and you were down it. Narnia thought you were dying.”

“It was not a well, I was not dying, Narnia knows when I’m dying, unlike some people here who I won’t name –”

“Oh, I beg to differ, Narnia cannot tell when you’re actually dying and when you’re just being attacked by giant poisonous spiders. I know. She wakes me up for both instances.”)

not really the tone I want for the story. (I put the following exchange up because I'm pretty sure it's getting cut.) Beautiful doomed glory of the Golden Age here, not Peter and Edmund bitching about who's been licking the poison darts. (And whoever gets that fic/fandom reference gets a puppy. Or, you know, fic. I don't think it's that obscure, but what do I know?)

On the other hand, I now know that once, Edmund accidentally got thrown back in time to Narnia during the White Witch's reign, in the depth of the Long Winter. Not a fun trip.

Exactly. She wouldn't have the advantage of weight or reach of arm that grownup Peter probably had, but she'd probably be faster. Plus, the Telmarines having no concept of female fighters, Miraz was probably coming up against a couple of different concepts -- fighting a girl; there's probably going to be some automatic hesitation there, as well as, well...completley different fighting style, too.

For some reason I'm trying to conceive of a universe where both Peter and Peta exist, or maybe two different universes where they meet. *thoughtful*

Twins? accidental Deep Magic stuff? (Deep Magic being a sneaky sod at the best of times)

Siblings going 'Two of them? Does two mean twice as many diplomatic upsets?'

:thoughtful: Now I have the image of them fighting like a matched pair but covering for stuff on speed and strength differences. And then comparing histories.

"So, did your engagements go as badly as mine did?"
"Did you kill any of your fiancees?"
"Just one."
"Three."
"Oh."

And Caspian is oddly turned on, yet terrified.

That pretty much sums up his reaction to the Pevensie family as a whole. Oh, and CONFUSION. *snickers*

I didn't think it was actually possible for Caspian to be more confused...yet apparently it is.
