...right, okay, Peter is completely mad. England drove him crazy! Aren't we glad we've figured this out? That boy wears masks like other people wear clothes, and changes them just as quickly. Does he even know who he is anymore? Really, I mean? What do you have left when all you have are masks?

i love my masks! essentialist identity construction is overrated!

in other news OH MY GOD. I HAVE WRITTEN SO MUCH MERLIN CRACK TODAY. SO MUCH. I AM BOTH HORRIFIED AND PLEASED. i think i wrote a lot of it because i wrote it longhand and i don't end up messing with a paragraph for ages like i do on a word document, so i just SOLDIER ON. i mean, it's crack, but i also try to make it... make sense? it started out as an extended version of a prompt i wrote for the porn battle and then it got TOTALLY OUT OF HAND. IT IS THE LITTLE CRACK PROMPT THAT COULD. I HAVEN'T WRITTEN SO MUCH SO FAST SINCE LIKE I DUNNO.

*MAY OR MAY NOT HAS A FEW THOUSAND WORDS OF MERLIN/BRADLEY JAMES*

except i may cut this bit, because i'm not sure how it works with the rest of my themes. also, PETER THE NUTCASE. westingturtle suggested i drug him. i am not sure how many times i can have peter drugged in the same story, but apparently MORE THAN ONCE. (hell, i...think he starts this chapter out in prison, gets put in chains, is briefly in a cage, and then ends up in the dungeons. i don't even know, man.)

*laughs at you*

meanwhile, i have written susan and baths and soon peter is going to come in and OH MY GOD these people are so much saner during the golden age and so fucked up during dust.

Clearly you just want to write Pevensie bondage sexytiems.

OMG. MY NARNIA ISSUES HAVE MADE IT INTO THIS CRACKFEST. SORT OF. YOU WILL SEE.

(Also, Bradley and Merlin share earphones listening to music on Bradley's iPhone until the battery runs out.)

I BET HE JOINS HER IN THE BATH AND THERE ARE BATHTIEM SEXYTIEMS.

And then in the next chapter Susan is chained up! WHAT ARE PEOPLE GETTING OUT OF DUST? Trauma, apparently.

No, seriously, Peter and his issues. Those are the main characters in this chapter. PETER AND HIS MASKS:

The Calormene has two inches of height on him, but Peter knows how to make himself seem bigger and taller than he is; he hasn’t had to use that particular trick for years now, but he knows it and he remembers it and he uses every bit of it now, raising his chin and drawing back his shoulders, settling his feet firmly and shifting his stance.

For a moment Bahadur looks startled, then Peter lets the High King fall away and wears Breakneck’s skin again, a cocky, confident mercenary of a merchant who’s more than he looks, just a little alarmed at being somewhere he shouldn’t be for something he didn’t do.

YES. YES THERE WILL BE. I mean, after Lucy yells at Susan for sleeping with Peter and after Susan has wrestled with politics like whoa (there is a reason she is in the bath in the first place! Also, Narnian baths rock. I'm just saying) then there is PETER. AND ADORABLE (http://www.spareoom.net/gallery/?level=picture&id=4529).

After he kicks the bath attendants and the bodyguards out, of course.

PEVENSIES LIKE IT ROUGH

Narnia issues via crack: Magic is a good enough answer for anything here, a panacea for the mysteries of this world. He's going to miss that when he goes back, where magic has been explained away by science and ethnography.

And: Bradley goes down to see the dragon by himself one night. He still wants to run away screaming when it appears, but he gathers his courage like he knows Arthur would and demands, "When do I go back?"
The dragon, true to form, replies, "One can't truly go back. The nature of time is to march onwards, and the nature of us, its subjects, is to march with it."

D-:! ...:-D?

ALSO THAT PICTURE ALWAYS MAKES MY HEART DO THIS: hfkalsdjfkl;ds
even if will moseley IS making stupidface

You know what that reminds me of? This vid (http://cherryice.livejournal.com/223867.html), which I love but which always makes me go, "WTF BBC YOU HAVE PUT EVERYONE IN THE DUNGEONS AT SOME POINT IN TIME." 'cos seriously, man.

...wait. Did Arthur end up in Bradley's place? *wide eyes*

I just spent $9 on a hard copy of the Four Quartets! Probably could have just printed them out, but whatever. *hearts* I occasionally forget the verse where Dust's title comes from: Dust in the air suspended / marks the place where a story ended. OH ELIOT.

His expression is help! get this crazy person off me! except i kind of like it but help!

[lassiterfics.livejournal.com]

Is it a dungeon or BOOM BOOM ROOM?? OT4 (5? 6? 7?) alone knows.

I'm not sure! Maybe. It doesn't go into that in this fic. The comments at the Porn Battle are cajoling me into writing the Colin/Arthur sequel, but we'll see. I think Colin/Arthur in the modern world would definitely be more light-hearted, what with Arthur discovering indoor plumbing and the internet and all.

...OMG ARTHUR DISCOVERS THE INTERNET

ONE WONDERS. INDEED, ONE WONDERS.

Right. So Peter is COMPLETELY MAD, Edmund is SOMEWHAT MAD... what's Lucy? Why do I have the suspicion Susan's the only sane sibling anymore?

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

Man, Susan's nowhere near sane, just a lot more vocal about pretending. Lucy's probably the closest one to sane of the four of them; she remembers less.
