yes, yes, they're all so screwed, carry on

Stop the presses! Caspian has managed to learn that the world does not revolve around him. *is shocked*

This would be an interesting story to tell from two POVs, except I swore I'd never do that again after "In Constellated Wars." But still...

*sigh* Actually, to get the transitory aspect of the Caspian of "In Constellaed Wars" and the Caspian of "Once More for the Ages" that y'all keep asking for, I probably would have to do this from Caspian's POV, because all we're getting now is Edmund going, "Good, he's not so annoying, maybe I won't have to kill him and call it an accident after all," and cutting himself open (for, uh, unrelated reasons).

Look, see?

“The High King is in Narnia,” Caspian insists, and keeps talking even when the nix hits him again, spitting the words out along with blood and a shard of broken tooth. “The High King is at Aslan’s How, answering the call of Queen Susan’s horn. Peter of Narnia is here.”

“Lying Telmarine bastard!” the nix declares as Edmund revises his opinion of Caspian substantially.

They were married for thirteen years, but if we count how long they were actually together, it's just short of fourteen. But, it's two years in Narnia between Peta leaving and coming back, and five years in England between Peta arriving and leaving. (I wanted them to be closer in age than they would be if it was, a, the same amount of time, or, b, longer in Narnia, since Peta would have been sixteen again when she came back England, and Caspian would have been thirty-four. As it is, when she ends up in Narnia again, Caspian's thirty-six and Peta's twenty-one. AWKWARD.)

I read this so fast that I had to read it three times before I actaually understood it, lol.

That is kind of awkward, but it isn't too bad, and age is just a number anyway. So are Peter and Peta both the same age again but Peta just grew up twice? And when she grows up the second time is she the same age that she (and Peter) was at the end of LWW? I think the math adds up. This leads me to my crack theory that the Pevensies are incapable of growing beyond the age they were in LWW (and the second time around in Peta's case) and thats why they were pushed back.
Now I am having all these ideas about Immortal!Pevensies that I would like to share if you are interested. ;)

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

Share away! I am always interested. (Although I will note that that's part of the basis of my immortal!Susan story -- she's stuck at the age she was when she left Narnia.)

Hang on, now I have to think about it. Curse you, time travel!

Okay, during the Golden Age, the Pevensies were in Narnia for fifteen years; my Peter went there when he was fifteen and came back when he was thirty. Same for Peta. And with the Second Summer (her reign with Caspian), she went when she was sixteen and came back when she was...thirty.

OH HUH. I didn't think of that! On the other hand, there's, uh, secret twist character...okay, at this point, I think it's fair to say that the secret twist is that one of the other Pevensies Isn't Really Dead.

Alright. So this is like my crack fanon to your crack canon. They don't die on the train because they are all immortal which leads us to your Immortal!Susan and the Peter&Batman story, but now Edmund and Lucy are immortal, too, so what are they doing? You said once that Edmund would make a beter James Bond than Peter, so my theory is Edmund IS James Bond. Bond totally dies on one of his early missions and Edmund is for some reason there when he died (maybe he killed him, *muses*) and it's like the Dreaded Pirate Roberts and so Edmund just tells everyone he is James Bond and he just becomes Bond and somehow it works out and it is awsome.

So if the Pevensies where immortal: Susan and Peter would be in Gothum doing Batman and Edmund would be James Bond, my only problem is I don't know what Lucy would be doing. Dude, Lucy should totally go to Hogwarts... or Forks, lol.

one of the other Pevensies Isn't Really Dead I seriously screamed when I read this. *crosses fingers for Edmund* Can you tell, I'm a little biased towards him?

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

ahahahaha. I am kind of tempted to pull Edmund back from Aslan's Country too, like Peter.

ARGH NOT FORKS NO NO NO NO. Hate Twilight. Spork my eyes out with a chainsaw.

One of the Pevensies isn't really dead, one of the Pevensies is really dead (Caspian saw their head; boy, aren't those Telmarines nice?), and one of the Pevensies may or not really be dead; I haven't decided yet. And Rilian's not dead and Caspian's not dead, obviously.

DO IT, DO IT, DO IT! You totally should.

I was kidding about Forks (Lucy totally stole Edmund's virtue), but not so much about Hogwarts. I think it would be fascinating if Lucy started exibiting magic but as the Pevensies sort of have a thing about Witches and Wizards (hello, White Witch and evil-swan-dude-whose-name-I-don't-remember) it's like, kept a secret. But then Lucy finds out about Hogwarts through Tom, who is, of course, sleeping with Susan (*cough*lassiter*cough*) and then she goes and, yeah, thats about as far as I've gotten.

I have a feeling that Lucy faked her death (because she is awsome like that) and that Edmund is really dead, and Susan is iffy, which is depressing because I WANT EDMUND but really, I'll take what I can get. Though I was really looking foward to compleate and total hotness that is Double Edmund.

*stares at ceiling* I suppose I'll have to write it just so I can reveal WHO LIVES.

[starsimpulse.livejournal.com]

Yay! Keep writing! I shall no longer distract you tonight. I do have a bunch of homework I've been putting off. *sulks*

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

And I have to go to bed because I have class tomorrow! And I did no homework all weekend. WHOOPS.

[starsimpulse.livejournal.com]

Me neither. I suck at life.

DO NOT REPLY TO THIS. GO TO BED.
