*facepalm*
Aug. 6th, 2008 07:33 pmI want to write girl!Peter/Caspian a really ridiculous amount. (The last time I wanted to write het this much, I ended up writing Into the Woods Baker/Cinderella fic. The time before that it was Beauty and the Beast Lumiere/Belle.) I don't even know why.
Well, okay, some of it would be the dialogue.
Scenario: There has been a minor cave-in in the How. Caspian and Peta are trapped in a cave for several hours. Peta's claustrophobia kicks in, and Caspian keeps her calm. Near the tail-end of this they start making out. Then Edmund and the rescue team break through.
Edmund: You know, we can come back later, if you're busy.
Peta: No, now is good. Now is excellent. *clambers out*
Caspian: *follows, a little disappointed*
Peta: *turns around and grabs the collar of Caspian's shirt* And you can come with me. *drags him down the tunnel to her room.*
Caspian: *grins like an idiot*
Edmund: Well, shit.
Caspian: I hope you're not offended that I, ah, took advantage of your sister...
Edmund: *hysterical laughter*
Peta: What do you mean, you asked Edmund? So long as he's not in my bed, he doesn't get a vote in who is.
Caspian: *chokes*
Caspian: *suffering from dreams of conjugal bliss* Marry me.
Peta: *hits him* Do you want to die a horrible messy death?
Caspian: What?
Peta: I'm going to assume history has forgotten how many of my fiances died instead of assuming you have a death wish.
Caspian: Maybe you just never met the right one?
Peta: Do you really want to bet your life on that?
Caspian: *grins wildly*
Peta: What? WHAT?
Caspian: You care.
Peta: I most certainly do not!
Caspian: You really care!
Peta: I --
Caspian: *kisses her*
Susan: I'm worried about Peta. She just seems --
Edmund: I really don't want to say this, but --
Susan: -- like she's not all here. I think Narnia's getting to her.
Edmund: She's like that every time she's having really great sex.
Susan and Lucy: ...
Edmmund: I said I didn't want say it.
Guys, I am SO ASHAMED. This is, like, the height of fantasy romance. All we're missing is a knight on a white horse, and that's only because Caspian's horse is black and the unicorn from LWW tragically died. Although I'm not sure a unicorn is what's really needed here...

Date: 2008-08-07 03:33 am (UTC)I told you there was no crack in genre fiction...you "threatened" me with genderswitch and NOW lookity here. You've set yourself up just fine with a character that is going to devour your brain until you write her up. *laughs*
It's like taking Peter and removing what few...I don't know what, morals? Scruples? Inhibitions?...that he has. Plus, an extra added dose of pretty!confusion to Caspian, that helps.
I'd think Caspian is less shadowed in this verse? Because the "duel conspiracy theory" wouldn't work here, for one thing.
Poor Edmund. *laughs*
(no subject)
Date: 2008-08-07 03:39 am (UTC)Because she's female, she and Caspian don't have the same rivalry going as Peter and Caspian, which, okay, plus side. And Caspian's even more confused, but at least he's getting laid. He's getting laid a lot.
Peta has needs, you see.
The duel conspiracy transfers from Caspian to Cornelius, I think.
(I, just, I want them to get married! And...actually, I think the idea of Peta or Peter with babies is terrifying, but I want a happily ever after! Because Peta in England is going to be even more of a wreck than Peter ever was.
I also kind of want to figure out how to put Peter and Peta in the same room together, but oh my god.)

Date: 2008-08-07 04:14 am (UTC)(Through the wardrobe? Now, with the Door in the Air at the end of PC -- I'm tempted to say Narnia just wouldn't let her go through and Aslan would throw a fit.)
(no subject)
Date: 2008-08-07 04:28 am (UTC)Door in the Air-would she be able to close it, do you think? "Air" isn't really part of Narnia, for her to physically control it. In the movie, he used a tree as a frame for the door, so she *could* close that, but he didn't have to. *frowns*
Or just...make Peta (or Peter, at that) so overwhelmed with her fear/rage/possessiveness/protectiveness-emotional vertigo, and maybe the real thing- that she couldn't physically *go* through? It would probably backlash through Edmund, too. Susan and Lucy could *drag* their brothers through the door, I guess, to save face for Aslan (doesn't look good for deity to throw temper tantrums in front of the new pseudo-subjects)...

Date: 2008-08-07 07:08 am (UTC)Now I'm thinking about pregnant!Peta and what would have happened if Rilian had been her son instead of Ramandu's daughter's. Somehow I kind of doubt she would have been out there with the ladies of the court to get stung to death by a giant snake. *rolls eyes* Although...if she's physically prevented from going back to England because she's pregnant, then waht happens to her in England? Does she just vanish? Do the other three hang around and go, "Well, shit, now what?" Or is time suspended until she does go back to England/dies in Narnia/God knows what? (In which case Voyage would be interesting: "Edmund, Lucy, my brother- and sister- in-law!" "OH MY GOD WHERE IS PETA? IS SHE HERE?" "She has a baby! I have a son!" "OH MY GOD.")

Date: 2008-08-07 08:02 am (UTC)Peta puts her palm down on his abdomen. "Oh, once or twice," she says, and takes her hand away, leaving him alone and helpless. He turns his head from side to side, trying to hear her, but Peta is utterly silent. She might have left the room entirely -- and then her warm mouth closes over his cock.
