timestamp meme

[bedlamsbard]

Snagged from rahirah.

The rules: Give me one of my stories and a timestamp sometime in the future after the end of the story, or sometime in the past before the story started, and I'll write you at least a hundred words of what happened then, whether it's five minutes before the story started or ten years in the future.

Dust and Water are included, although, hi, I'm not giving you the end of Dust, that's the only thing that's off the list.

Um. In Constellated Wars. Afterwards?

[snacky]

Immediately after The White City - the "big to-do at the Cair" that night.

Or Susan before These Last Golden Days of Summer.

The morning after the thing with the refugees from Telmar. Additional Pevensies barging in a bonus :)

Been meaning to ask about the construction/sprouting of Cair Paravel anyway. Also why it has four thrones, if the reason is neither "so there could be a prophecy about four thrones" nor "because Aslan-or-whoever knew the Pevensies were going to reign there". (Personal theory is, king, queen, heir, spare-heir-or-heir's-spouse, but that might not have anything to do with your 'verse.)

(Speaking of, do you have any objection to my absconding with your Narniaverse geography and bits of timeline? Because a plot bunny has bit, said bunny being the various and sundry attempts to get the White Witch off Narnia's throne. The solid bits so far are, one, one of the attempts came from Archenland, to the winner go the spoils, Archenland doesn't get conquered and Narnia doesn't get hungry and Jadis doesn't get deposed so it's a win-win-win, and two, another attempt came from Lasci's spare heir and half its army, and that attempt was quashed by Lasci's primary heir and the other half Lasci's army, this being important to why Lasci is so disorganized come the Pevensies' reign. And if you'd rather I not write in your take on Narniaverse, feel free to use the bits above.)

Go for! And drop me a link when you're done; I'd be curious to see it.

If you're interested in the specific geography, Lasci is the northernmost of the countries on Narnia's western border, inched up against the High Reaches and the western part of Ettinsmoor. South of that is the country of Belgarion, and sandwiched between Belgarion and Natare is the teetiny country of Ransky, then Natare, a finger of Shoushan (which extends far to the west; it's the only country that's still around come Dust, albeit as the Lesser and Greater Shoushan Empires), then Telmar, which also borders Archenland. And for kicks, I just realized I have no real idea what the western geography of Narnia is. *facepalm*

[alexseanchai]

eeee :)

(Now to straighten out the rest of it. There must have been at least one attempt by native Narnians. Calormen may have been involved in another.)

*helpfully* There's the islands, too. Galma and Terebinthia and the Seven Isles and the Lone Islands...

[alexseanchai]

Oh yeah, them. Must factor them in.

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

And the White Witch did claim the Lone Islands in LWW...

Late to the party, but I'd LOVE to see your alternate Water plan. You know, the one with the baby.

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

That's...not really under the tenets of the meme. And to be fair, we don't even actually see that scene in Water; Caspian's not on that little mission, and he's the only POV character.

Anything else?

[almostinstinct.livejournal.com]

Er. Yes. If the O11 counts as a fic, I'd love to see old, disgruntled Pevensies when they're old and retired. Otherwise, I shall leave you to wrangle with Dust! *beam*

On a list of things I can barely comprehend...


Susan takes the watch from Peter's hand and sets it back on the counter. "Sorry, honey," she says, brightly cheerful. "I think that's a bit beyond our budget."

"Force of habit," Peter tells her, smiling his still-brilliant smile at the saleswoman behind the counter. "Lovely piece, though. What's the price?"

"Far too much," Susan says, pulling him away. "We're here for clothes, not to case the joint. And we're retired."

Peter grabs a dress at random off a rack and tugs her into a dressing room. "We'll get out of practice, then," he says.

Susan pushes the dress away. "This is three sizes too big," she says, and Peter laughs and kisses her.

Awww. You just know they're going to be conning people out of... uh... their wills in old-people's homes.

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

Or coming up with some kind of religious scam, getting people to convert and then leave all their money behind!

Which is...about the same thing.
