bedlamsbardExcellent, we have reached the point where the next 23K of Be Like Water can be Peta and Caspian gettin' it on.
Oh, and then I suppose there will be some plot stuff with the war and the siege and the duel and Cornelius and Miraz and Aslan not showing up. But, you know. Mostly the sex.
You know what's funny? Part one of Water is formatted like a movie (or at least it is to me; y'all may think differently once you see it): short and to the point, with lots of sex and action in the middle. Dust, on the other hand, is formatted like a novel (again: to me; y'all may think differently).
This is funny because in some ways they're essentially the same story, if you replace the Telmarines with the Calormenes. Except Dust is more complex. And has less sex.
There is a possibility I'm not thinking clearly right now.
Peta laughs. “Now that’s funny,” she says. “I suppose you weren’t expecting us to show up, then.”
“Not until Trufflehunter and Nikabrik began dragging me all over the western wood to meet creatures I’d never even heard of,” Caspian says. “After that, well – at least you were supposed to be human, by every legend I’d ever heard, Narnian or Telmarine.”
“Yes,” Peta says. “There is that, at least.” She sounds amused rather than offended, and puts her head back down on Caspian’s shoulder, reaching out with one hand to wrap her fingers around his. “Did I say thank you for what you did the night we attacked the Telmarine camp?”
“I think it was implied,” Caspian says.
“Thank you, then,” Peta says, and then lets go of his hand. Caspian doesn’t understand why until she curls her fingers in his hair and turns his face towards hers.
She kisses him for a long time, shifting until she’s straddling his lap, and Caspian hears himself make an inordinate sound of want as he drags his hands up Peta’s back, feeling the knobs of her spine beneath the fabric of her shirt. “Yes,” she whispers against his mouth. “Like that, do that –” and then lets go of him to pull her shirt off over her head, unbuckling her sword-belt and tossing it aside before settling back against him to kiss him again.
Caspian splays his hands out across her back, her skin warm and smooth beneath his palms, and Peta twists in his lap, making him gasp. “I always did think darkness was overrated,” she murmurs, reaching for the laces on his shirt. “I’d love to see your face right now.”
“May I –” Caspian begins, not even sure what he’s asking, and Peta says, “Yes, god, yes,” and drags his shirt up over his head.
ETA: Be Like Water is now officially longer than Dust, although Dust would be longer if I counted all the scenes I've cut (three different versions of chapter 3, one of chapter 4, one of chapter 5...really some days it gets ridiculous).
Also, Caspian and Peta? Just got themselves laid.
And yes, I did just change all but two of my icons. Now we have Peta! A.k.a. Scarlett Johansson.
