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.

Peta definitely experimented, but she's more straight than Peter is gay. (Oh, god, this is such a weird conversation. *facepalm*)

Well, no one really knew what was going to happen. Peter/Peta was having sex dreams (thank you Narnia) saying that it had to be one of the Pevensie siblings, but the knowledge of what the ritual meant had been lost to Narnia thanks to the White Witch. So -- as far as the Pevensies are concerned, it's probably just sex, with a little magic mixed in. (And then it happens, and, uh, hell no.)

I'm not sure if Edmund and Peta were sleeping together yet. This is in about, oh, year four, year five. Peta would have been 19-20, Susan would have been 18-19, Edmund would have been 16-17, and Lucy would have been 14-15 -- so too young, there; Peta would have drawn a line.

There are probably contraceptives Peta used. Huh, maybe that's another reason the bond wasn't as strong...

Wierd Conversations FTW!

And then of course it happens, and all hell breaks lose. Though actually, it's not really that hellish at all compared to Peterverse. In fact it relitively normal. How strange.

Is the ritual later in Peterverse? I was under the impression that it was 6 or 7 years in, but I might have just totally made that up. Yeah, Lucy would have been too young and Peta would have drawn the line, but really she wasn't that young. When did your Lucy start sleeping around (I make her seem like such a whore, even though she kind of is one, but in, like, a really good way; she just likes having fun)? I was thinking around 13 becasue at that point she's already been ruling for three years and kicking ass and taking names.

Now that you put it that way, Edmund really is the prime canidate, in both cases. Thank you for helping me understand.

Add that to the long list of reasons. They were kind of doomed from the beginning, weren't they? Or not doomed, depending on how you look at it.

Peta thinks she's so unlucky untiil Peter comes to her Narnia -- and more or less keels over, and she gets it second or third-hand.

No, the ritual's about the same time. I dither about dates all the time (in case anyone hasn't noticed), and part of the reason here is that I keep getting tripped up on the age issue, but there's really no reason to because it's not like there's an age of consent in Narnia.

Probably thirteen or fourteen, yeah. Most likely to one of Osumare Seaworth's sailors. *rolls eyes*

No, thank you. I need to make it make sense too!

Peta's Narnia isn't as strong and healthy as Peter's is, and she doesn't have as tight as control over it, but she never realizes she should or she could have, so. And she's...slightly more human than Peter, if that makes any sense; Peter went a little crazy over the years.

[starsimpulse.livejournal.com]

Oh, Peta you are in for a shock. What do you mean she gets it second or third hand? Get's what? *is confused*

Your Narnia's timeline confuses the hell out of me, but that's ok. Even if there was an age of consent, THEY'RE THE FREAKING KINGS AND QUEENS, whose going to try and stop them? It's not like they have parents. Which is actually strange to think about. There like orphans, and Lucy's only ten. I mean, she probubly got back to England and was all "Who the heck are you? I don't have a mother." Actually, the fact that she doesn't have a mother from such a young age acounts for her being the (in my opinion) wildest and most rebelious. I'm pretty sure everyone figured this out like, a long time ago, but I've never thought about thier mother before so it's pretty revolutionary to me. I wonder if they ever had a Peter Pan "I miss my mother moment"? i think Susan or Edmund probubly did at the very begining, but then got over it and compleatly forgot they even had a mother.

Apparently, Osumare's sailors are the bomb, and don't care about age. At all.

I think a little crazy is a bit of an understatement. He went mad.

Well, Peta's still tied to Narnia, yes? Even though her bond is overshadowed by Peter's, which confuses the hell out of Narnia, because Narnia's aware that this person isn't her bonded, except everything is saying he is (everything here being magic and magical ties), and since Peter's bond is so strong he gets hit with all that emotion, plus what's been happening to Narnia these past few years, plus anything left over from the Great Autumn/the Telmarine reign that Peta hasn't managed to fix by sheer didn't of actually being in the country (which is, you know, kind of a big help, magically speaking. Like, the years Peter wasn't in Narnia during the Golden Age didn't ruin the country, but those were both visibly worth years in terms of crops, weather, natural disasters, that sort of thing). But Peta's still tied to Narnia too, so what she ends up getting is overflow from that; she only gets Narnia's feeling when the country's emotions are running very high. So all of what Narnia's feeling is going straight to Peter, some of it is getting siphoned off and going to Peta, any overflow from Peter is going to his Edmund, and there's probably not any overflow from Peta.

If that makes any sense at all, which I'm sure it didn't. (But, see, if Peter and Narnia (Narnia here being Edmund) were to have sex in Narnia, Peta would feel it. Which is awkward, but hey, this is Bedlamsbard's Narnia! Where everything's awkward!)

Yes, but I keep running into a mental block on the age issue, just because I got raised in that kind of culture. (HI AMERICA. LOVE YOU BUNCHES. *blows kisses*)

I feel so bad for the Pevensie parents. Seriously. I mean, I think Susan and Edmund are going to make at least a cursory attempt to listening, but I really, truly don't think Peter cared at all, and I don't think he even made an effort to make an effort. And Lucy was just confused out of her mind. (Plus, it's the sort of thing that might get overlooked...I mean, you've got all these city kids coming back from, hell, in some cases, upwards of a year spent in the country with someone else's family, and then you have the fathers and cousins and uncles and older brothers coming back from the war...no wonder someone might not have thought that there was somehting extra wrong with the Pevensie kids.)

Considering that Osumare himself set eyes on Peter and went, "Dude! Sixteen-year-old High King! Awesome!" only in a, you know, slightly less anachronistic way...I'm sure all of the Pevensies, uh, sampled the goods. So to speak.

This is true. Too bad no one noticed Peter losing his mind until it was gone!

Okay, I get it now. Well, mostly. This part:
plus anything left over from the Great Autumn/the Telmarine reign that Peta hasn't managed to fix by sheer didn't of actually being in the country (which is, you know, kind of a big help, magically speaking.
still confuses me a bit. Help?

Have I mentioned that I love Bedlamsbard's Narnia. Yes I think I might have. Wouldn't this make Peta sad as well as awkward. I mean, at this piont, she's married to Peter and might even love him (as much as I love Peta/Caspain, I have this really soft spot for Peter/Peta. Like, I can't really say that I love one more than the other because there both so different, it's like apples and oranges), and I know she has Caspain, but, still, isn't she a little sad?

No, I know what you mean. I'm like that with everything else, but apparently, in the Narnia fandom, I have no problems with anything.

I've never really thought about that before, but it makes perfect sense. I mean, if that happened today they would have been at least sent to therapy or something, but theres so much other crap going on that it would be really easy to overlook.

Also, can you help my poor newbish self? I can't figure out how to put things under a cut. I tried the < lj-cut > < /lj-cut > thing and lots of other methods but it hates me and I can't get it to work. I ask because I kind of wrote a fic (well, more like a drabble, but it's Narnia, yay!) and I want to post it but I can't unless I have a cut (well I can but I don't want to.

The Great Autumn (in the Warsverse) is the period of time between the Pevensies leaving and coming back. In its broadest definition, it covers about thirteen hundred years, the first three hundred or so of which are known as the Dying Times among Narnians (for good reason). There's a few hundred years between the Dying Times and the Conquest, during which the Telmarines moved in. The Conquest is when Caspian the Conqueror went on his conquering spree, and then after that we have Telmarine Narnia. Caspian's reign is known (at the moment) as the Second Summer.

That was probably not what you were asking. A lot of crappy stuff happened during the Great Autumn, including, oh, almost every forest in Narnia getting burnt down, and so that backlashes on Peter when he arrives in Narnia during PC. (And Peta, obviously, to a lesser extent.) Anyway, there was no one bound to the earth for that whole millennium, and there needs to be someone for Narnia to be healthy; someone who's bound can very slowly fix it just by being there. But with Peta gone for two years...and then Peter, with his substantially stronger bond, comes along...

Well, she's Peta, so she's a little pissed, even though she knows it's completely irrational. And she's a lot turned on, because she's slept with Peter and she's slept with her Edmund, and on a shallow level, they're pretty, and she's getting the emotional and physical backwash -- she can actually feel what I think Peter's feeling.

And -- it's kind of complicated, her emotions towards Peter. She loves him, but she's in love with Caspian, and she points out he could stay in Narnia -- and he says he can't, of course.

And then I remember that I deflowered Peter when he was fifeen and sixteen and we're not even really deflowering Edmund at this point, so I'm less bothered. Oh, my brain...

Hell, if it happened today, Mama Pevensie would have sued the professor for child abuse, which would have been amusing...
