beyond the wide world&#39;s end

I also deny having any hand in enabling Dust.

You do remember all the meta the Telmarines having about them being referred to as being wolves being their ferociousness in battle/hunting/skill, etc, right? And even more interesting titles and nicknames for you to invent! (the Wolfkings/Wolfqueens. I'm presuming Susan would be referred to as the Bitch at some point. Lucy Hunter. Edmund Lone Wolf. Peter Greyback.)

Plus during the White Witch summoning, you'd get extra Jadis beckoning at Peter. Because she sees him as partially one of hers now. Edmund, of course, she fully expected to stab her in the back. Mind you, if the Pevensies are werewolves, how would it go against the werewolf they had in that scene? Edmund going straight for his throat and Lucy attacking Nikabrik in wolf form, this half-grown puppy going for his throat.

:g: And I've still yet to see more than *one* fic that actually deals with the fact that Book!Caspian in Dawntreader could be a bloody werewolf.

From:

Oh, yeah, the White Witch summoning. Actually, chances are that the White Witch's meeting in Aslan's camp during LWW was really interesting, because Peter would have already been turned at that point, and then there would have been the automatic mistrust of the Narnians there -- I mean, basically every single dark Narnian was already with the White Witch (so much for us actually seeing traitors, although that would probably just have confused movie audiences, so probably just as well. *shrug*), so they probably would have automatically expected Peter to go over, and I bet there were factions advocating that he be immediately killed, and is he still a Son of Adam? And Aslan probably wouldn't have been too pleased. *shrug*

*cough* Jadis would totally expect werewolf!Peter to obey her. She'd do the whole silky, "Even your own people don't trust you," thing at him.

And werewolf!Peter is still even more aggressive than regular!Peter.

From:

...more aggressive? HOW?

Yeah, kinda negates the whole 'sits on Cair Paravel's thrones' - so how does that bleed into the fact that Caspian has a legitimate right to sit on the throne considering he's Son of Adam descended? The High King and his family are all werewolves.

This just ups the assassination plots. Also, was it common knowledge? Because I think they might have problems getting marriage alliances (not to mention I can't see Rabadash chasing Susan that hard) if it was known that they were werewolves.

From:

Well, I think there's a pretty good chance he may rip Sepaspian's throat out instead of take his head off. And maybe he changed during the attack on the castle, or the duel. *considers*

And then there's the whole "seduces Caspian" part. Although really, it's less "seduces" and more "uses his werewolf pheromones to lure Caspian into bed." (PETER. THAT'S NOT VERY NICE.)

Well, the Pevensies were all born Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve. *thoughtful*

I don't think it would be common knowledge, no; I think at first it would all be rumor. Later...Susan gets turned late enough that it wouldn't be known outside of the kingdom, or maybe even inside. *debates*

From:

hey, I have no problems with using pheromones. It's just a stronger version of what you usually use. As long as they're yours and not someone else's.

Probably not the duel, since that's pretty controlled. and he's on show. the whole point of that duel is that they're on show. Castle. three of them dropping in and going through noiselessly, then taking down the guards in that fashion.

From:

Oh, where's the bit I wrote up during my theatre class...

"You've been watching me all night," Peter says against Caspian's ear, his voice dark with promise. He runs a hand down Caspian's hip to linger on his thigh, two fingers just brushing the front of his breeches.

Caspian draws in a sharp breath.

The big battle...Peter switching effortlessly between human form and wolf form depending on whether sword or teeth is necessary (I'm thinking he takes his clothes and anything he's carrying with him when he changes. Awkward at first, but once he gets the hang of it...)

Man, the Telmarines are going to be freaked out, and it's going to give Miraz and/or Sepaspian even more fuel for the Narnian hatred. "They're monsters!"

From:

I DEMAND YOU RETURN TO DUST AT ONCE. AT ONCE!

From:

*raises eyebrows*

From:

*raises eyebrows at your raised eyebrows*

From:

I have a kneejerk reaction to anyone demanding I do anything.

From:

*rolls eyes* Fine.

PLEASE do try and continue Dust ASAP?

From:

*slight smile* General warning is to never demand an author do anything, especially in fandom or on LJ. It's slightly more than likely to provoke them into doing the exact opposite thing.

From:

Ply them with bunnies instead. Or tell them that they shouldn't do and also provide such lines such as '... you know, Tirian really needs his arse kicked.'

From:

oh, caspian, you have no idea what you're lettign yourself in for. Stay away from the Pevensies! They're bad for young princes who're used to civilised court folk!

:swallows: Peter, please stop doing that where people can see you.

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.

From:

Not that this ever works, of course.

From:

But the Pevensies just have this...animal magnetism.

*taunts*

"I -- I haven't --" Caspian says, his voice shaking. He's lying, and Peter knows it. Caspian hasn't been able to take his eyes off him.

The High King laughs; Caspian feels it in his bones. Peter's directly behind him, so close that the layers of cloth and air between them seem superfluous. "Look at me," Peter orders, soft and sure, and Caspian turns his head.

The High King's face is caught between shadows and the flickering gold of the firelight; Caspian has only the sharp impression of it before Peter's mouth is on his.

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.

"You broke a man's neck tonight," Caspian says. His voice is shaking despite his best efforts to keep it steady.

Peter raises his eyebrows. "'Broke a man's neck'?" he repeats. "I'm still picking bits of Telmarine out from between my teeth."
