*flails wildly*

Trust me to write a scene that involves me Wikipedia-ing various types of hawks, eagles, and falcons in order to accurately write descriptions of hippogriffs. I am terrified of birds. (Although. Actually. To be honest, I am not as afraid of birds of prey as I am of, say, sparrows. GOD I KNOW I AM SO WEIRD.)

What, didn't y'all know that Narnia had hippogriffs? Of course Narnia has hippogriffs. I have no idea why I didn't think of this before. HIPPOGRIFFS. Oh my God. Totally just as cool as griffins. Maybe not as sexy.

I am so hyped up to be back at Dust, you have no idea. Water is cool, but whatever, Dust is where it's at. And there has barely been any Peter! I am happy like whoa. (Not because of the no Peter thing. Because I love all these characters. And this 'verse. And this entire friggin' story. This will probably fade quickly, but what the hell, must use it while it lasts. AND DUST OHMYGOD.)

Water is a sprint; I know where it's going and how quickly it's going to get there. (Well, it's PC. We all know what it's doing.) Even with three parts, it's still rather a sprint, because the main action gets over with fairly quickly, relatively speaking.

Dust, now -- Dust is a marathon. An awesome marathon. I know where it's going and roughly how quickly it's going to get there. (Read: not quickly. MARATHON. Dust is the Greco-Persian Wars of Narnia, kids! Complete with a Thermopylae and a Salamis. A Marathon and a Plataea, too. But what am I saying, we're not there yet.) And Dust is -- oh my god. *flails wildly* I forgot how much I loved this story! Oh my god! It is just so...well. I don't want to say epic, but, well. It is. It is not crack.

Also, it just hit 30K.

GUH.

also, that is far less vague than the Peta/Susan kissing up above, and definitely less vague than the Peter/Susan, Susan/Edmund, Peter/Edmund, and Peter/Susan/Edmund in this chapter.

WHEN IT IS DONE IF YOU NEED A BETA YOU KNOW WHERE TO COME. i'm just sayin' here.

indeed i will crash upon your shores like a wave upon a sand, fic in hand to seek your wise counsel!

it is like, how much can i talk about them groping each other and still not have it be sex or explicit hanky panky. i mean, okay, so there is a little explicit hanky panky, but like... up to what point can i have it be explicit and still not have it be incest?

oh the questions that keep me up at night!

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

that is my question exactly! i mean, when do i have to change dust from "gen" to "implied het, slash, threesome, incest, canon character/oc, human/nonhuman, dubcon, underage, and WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE"?

i mean, hello, peter and susan sharing a bed and stuff like And as for Peter – well, she won’t give her brother too much credit for remembering her clothes, but maybe Peter will remember this dress too, and susan being all, "OH EDMUND PETER MIGHT BE ANNOYED WITH ME IF YOU HAVE NO BALLS," and also, She knows his body well enough that she doesn’t have to wonder what he’d feel like against her, because she knows from two worlds, two – three – timelines.

gen. honestly, i swear it is GEN.

AHAHA. for serious! my header is going to be like, "edmund/jadis-ish, edmund/susan-ish, & edmund/oc-ish. but technically it is gen. warning: sort of incestuous overtones." that should cover it. i mean, in that excerpt above, probably he's just snuggling with her because she's spazzing out from magic!

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

but of course! and they're pevensies, they're all sort of incestuous anyway.

(of course, you see what happens with this mindset: it spills over into my mental plotting for the werewolf story, and suddenly nathan isn't just having sex with sebastian, he's also sleeping with his three siblings and possibly the other members of his pack, occasionally.

(this is what i come down to. incestuous werewolves. ohmygod.)

dude, there's like another random traveler who has just now somehow chanced upon our peter/arthur and is also asking for more. i think we were not in the wrong to take that to the word.doc!

whoo! who woulda thunk it? *bemused*
