Oct. 16th, 2008 12:21 pmAnd now for some reason I really want to write Edmund/Peta/Peter.
I see it is one of Those Days.
Must get back to Dust at some point; some of the non-crazy Narnians (which are, in fact, the majority of the Narnians) are expected to show up here. Yeah, this is going to go about as well as you all think.
And I've been scribbling bits of Narnian werewolf!Pevensies, thanks to someone, and now I, me being me, have been thinking about the Golden Age political ramifications. Because werewolves are dark creatures, and if your savior king happened to be turned while he was engaged in the whole saving thing, there's going to be some suspicion on the part of the good Narnians. (*whimpers*) And then there are going to be the dark Narnians who are all, "oh, he is one of us." So there might be less trouble getting the dark Narnians to bow the knee, but there's going to be a helluva lot more trouble getting the good Narnians to obey. And then when they come back during PC -- this is the scene I've been writing, the one where Caspian attacks Peter in the woods, Peter loses Rhindon, and then Peter turns from human to wolf and springs at Caspian; this scene and the one where Peter, uh, seduces Caspian -- there's suspicion again, because this relevant part has been forgotten by the majority of the Narnians. Except for the dark Narnians, they remember, but the centaurs and suchlike...don't.
No. No, my brain never does stop working. *whimpers*
I'm rummaging through names for the werewolf!not-Pevensies: right now we're at Nathan, Olivia, Wesley, and Astrid Bishop (original last name Prendergast), with Sebastian Simonson as a certain Caspian type figure. I'm fine with Olivia and Astrid, but the boys' names aren't really working for me here. Anthony instead of Wesley? Nat, Nathan, Nate, Nathaniel? Red as a nickname? Well, that'll come later, when they start looking into his past.

Oh yeah. All the Telmarine soldiers getting really fucking freaked out because Centaurs and Dwarves and savage badgers and goat-footed men are one thing, but they did not bloody sign up to fight against Things that switch between men and slavering beasts. There's a rumour going round that the Narnian scum have got the High king from the fairytales your nan told you to fight with them somehow. The Little Gods knows what the High King thinks of sorcery like this. The swordsmen're bad enough, but there's a woman who keeps switching between firing arrows to leaping and changing in mid-air into a wolf.
...I'm rather glad my pevensies aren't werewolves at this rate, because they've got enough problems with all the Telmarines screaming about them being savages and trucking in bestiality.

You know what I'm thinking of at this point? The Peter/Edmund fight that ends the Natare mercenary fiasco. Absolutely brutal swordplay, then Peter gets disarmed and changes and Edmund meets him in mid-air, and all the watching Narnians and Natarenes are all "WHAT NOW?" while the two wolves go after each other completely all-out, and Peter switches back and draws his dagger, but he's lost his helm and Lucy screams his name -- they're not quite over the border into Narnia -- Edmund flickers between wolf and human, trying to get the upper hand and finally knocks the dagger away, and then they're both wolves again, and this time Peter knocks Edmund over the border and leaps to follow, standing over him as the spell breaks and he crumples, human again...
Even more brutal than the actual fight.
Man, the Telmarines are just screwed, seriously, because these things are even worse than part-humans, because they could walk among you and you'd never even know! They look perfectly human! ...until they're not.
