hypothetical AU meme, a.k.a. the MADE FOR ME MEME

[bedlamsbard]

No, seriously, y'all have no idea how easy it is for me to AU stuff. See: CSI:NY superheroes, CSI:NY space military, Narnia wild west.

The Hypothetical AU Meme: Take any one of the fandoms you know I write in (or think I should), and give me a type of AU (space opera AU, pirate AU, superhero AU, Ancient Rome, etc). I will then explain what story from your chosen fandom I would write for your chosen type of AU.

Oh, man, SW was my last major fandom before Narnia. HOW DID YOU KNOW?

The Clone Wars, near the end. Except for Peter, all the Pevensies are Jedi. Peter trained as a Jedi, or tried to, but he left the Order before it started looking really suspicious for anyone to do so. Although he and the rest of the Pevensies are still technically on good terms, they haven't spoken in years. Peter's been working as an independent mercenary/bounty hunter since he left the Order -- and why he left the Order isn't known, since he'd been a very promising young Jedi -- but Count Dooku's been quietly trying to recruit him for years. Ex-Jedi are hard to come by, after all. Peter flirts with the idea and keeps Dooku guessing while quietly letting the Order know, and then he just as quietly takes the Republic's coin and starts spying for them while still keeping Dooku on his toes. After a little while he also less than quietly takes the Republic's money and plays double-agent.

Near the end of the Clone Wars, Edmund is the Jedi sent to meet with the Republic's mysterious secret agent. Since Peter's identity is (understandably) kept Pretty Darn Secret, Edmund's a little shocked to realize that his brother is the agent. And there is some whispered shouting for a while there, and then they get down to business. They meet a few more times -- and then Order 66 goes out, and they both get shot at by the clone troopers. Peter gets Edmund out onto his spaceship, and while they're in hyperspace they try and figure out what the hell is going on. They end up landing on a small, neutral planet and sitting in the bar in civvies debating what to do. Then the clone troopers come in and chase them around for a while. This goes on for a while, and then Peter and Edmund cobble together a plan for Peter to go back to Coruscant and pretend he's still loyal to Darth Sidious. Which is when Susan walks in and points out caustically that maybe that's not the best idea ever. She doesn't seem surprised to see Peter there. She doesn't seem happy, either, but the implication is that she knows Peter was spying for the Republic. Although whether he was spying just for the Republic...

Edmund bristles at the implication, but Peter just shrugs it off. He left the Order, after all. Not exactly the best protestation of innocence these days. And why did you leave the order? Edmund asks. Because I couldn't stand it anymore, Peter replies simply. Susan snorts derisively. What do you want? Peter asks. Since you're here. Lucy, Susan says. She was on Coruscant. We have to get her out. So that 'no attachments' thing is going well, then? Peter says dryly. I'd do the same for any Jedi, Susan replies. I wouldn't, Peter says. You're not a Jedi, Susan says. And I'm glad of that, Peter says.

They go to Coruscant. Somehow their plan goes very badly wrong, and Peter gets caught and hauled in front of Sidious and Vader, who don't really believe his, "I'm working for you guys! Really!" story. He's about to be horribly killed when Susan rushes out all, "Don't you fucking dare touch my brother!" and then Peter proves he really does still have his ability to use the Force and also remember how to use a lightsaber, and they all escape (with Lucy, of course; Edmund and Susan got her out while Peter was getting tortured). Then they all live happily ever after, except not really because of the whole, "the galaxy got taken over by an evil madman!" thing.
