Man, if you thought 'Sea Change' and the Revolutionsverse was bad, heads up. This is probably the most pretentious (...and academic discipline- and litigation-inviting) thing I've done to date.

I co-wrote Narnia fic with Emile Durkheim. It's England fic, of which approx 50% is copy-pasted from Durkheim's Elementary Forms of Religious Life. The translation I have is the Joseph Swain one, and it's beautifully written and it reminds me of Narnia ALL THE DAMN TIME. My notes in the margins largely consist of things like "OMG SUSAN" and "the constitutive elements of Aslan" and just, I dunno. Sometimes the book feels like a collection of excerpts from fic. Durkheim totally could've written some bombass Narnia fic if he wanted to. So I made him!

For Z, who loves me anyway.

(I, uh. I should flock this, shouldn't I.)


Forms & Foundations
Narnia. Susan, Edmund. G. Co-written with Emile Durkheim, posthumously.
"This world tells her, You are Susan Pevensie, a whole equal to the sum of her parts, and she wonders what that entails."

The idealization of a world is merely changing the terms of the problem; it is not resolving it or even advancing it. )

YOU GUYS. I MUST KNOW.
What Merlin character am I most like?
MY THREAD

But enough about me! Is it that my subconscious resentment at missing the Crossover Exchange is making me crossoverically productive? Or is it that it is [livejournal.com profile] marycontraire's birthday? The latter! Happy birthday, Mary! I am, uh. I am a bit late with this. I meant to post this yesterday, but then got distracted, you know. Anyway, the title is from this Zero 7 song of the same name, 'cos Zero 7 is Edmund/Effy music in my head. This fic is a direct continuation of this.


In the Waiting Line
Narnia/Skins. Edmund/Effy. R.
She takes Edmund far from the world without engulfing him in her own.

Oren Lavie, the guy who sang the memory tree song on the 'Prince Caspian' soundtrack, has a song called "A Dream Within A Dream". Coincidence?! Did he write that song for the Narnia soundtrack but then it got rejected because it was too dark? Like Imogen Heap, apparently? The lyrics are pretty apt. "Caught within a dream within a dream/A man within a man."

In other Narnia-related news, the fic I wrote for Narnia Exchange is up. This year I ended up writing for [livejournal.com profile] zempasuchil, which I was initially D: at because it can be more difficult writing something for someone you know than someone you don't. But I guess it turned out okay, so hooray! Last year I wrote for someone who didn't even holla back when the fic was posted, which was very sadface. Oh well, no sadfacing now though.

Narnia. Lucy, Edmund, Susan, Peter(, Aslan). G. Spoilers for VotDT. Thank you to Wyrm and Bedlam for the beta.
Lucy knows Aslan by many names. ~3300 words
If there’s no water to wash themselves before prayers, the faithful wash themselves with sand.

In Narnia- AND music-related news, there are 3 songs that have become indelibly associated with this fic in my mind, and here is the tracklist in plot-relevant order:
1. Holcombe Waller, "But You"
2. Sufjan Stevens, "To Be Alone With You"
3. Emiliana Torrini, "Serenade"


In my grand tradition of overdoing things, I've uploaded these songs as a sort of mini-soundtrack, and you can download the RAR file here. And yes, I've come to terms with the fact that I am incapable of not including Sufjan Stevens on any sort of fandom-related mix.


Relevant to my fandoms.

I did the "things I'll never write" meme a few weeks ago, though it was just an excuse to request the strangest prompts people can think of, because as history shows, I'll write anything. So, I wrote Peter&Jadis near the end of the Golden Age for [livejournal.com profile] bedlamsbard (Bed, I may still actually owe you fic, since this isn't technically Peter/Jadis), and Ororo between X2 and X3 for [livejournal.com profile] dirty_diana.

Then everyone else gave Narnia crossover prompts, so I've compiled those all here in a section subtitled 'people they never loved'.


Another Shore

- for [livejournal.com profile] marycontraire, who said Edmund/Effy (Narnia/Skins)
Neither Edmund nor Effy are surprised that their older brothers don't get along. )

- for [livejournal.com profile] animus_wyrmis, who said Edmund/Hermione (Narnia/Harry Potter)
2 people who objected to Edmund and Hermione's relationship )

- still for [livejournal.com profile] animus_wyrmis, who also said Edmund/Luna (Narnia/Harry Potter)
She's safe, that much is sure, but he isn't sure how she's safe: whether it's because she would believe him, or because no one would believe her. )

- for [livejournal.com profile] be_themoon, who said Nimueh/Jadis (Narnia/Merlin). With visual aid!
Nimueh whispers an incantation and the cut on her palm closes itself. )

You thought I was done with you, Narnia, but you should know that I am never done with you.

This started out as commentfic with Z, cracking out about Peter/rock symbolism in PC, and then somehow became the only fic I've written to require a bibliography. For about a month or so, we weirdly had to read the same books for homework and - in addition to Narrrrrnia - that was how we became friends. So, this fic kind of grew out of that, sort of. This fic is preceded, on my end, by this post and my paper applying Durkheimian and Weberian concepts to the Chronicles of Narnia.

No, please, tell me how to be a bigger geek, I wanna know.

With the kind of classes I have this semester though, it's more difficult to apply homework to fandom. If any of you ever figure out how to use binomial distribution and multivariate regression as metaphors for the human heart, you let me know, mmkay?


Title: Sea Change
Authors: [livejournal.com profile] lassiterfics and [livejournal.com profile] zempasuchil, Esq.
Fandom: Narnia
Rating: G
Summary: Sea change: n. A gradual transformation in which the form is retained but the substance is replaced. "Maybe when the world changes, your footholds in it do too. Maybe he's back to stumbling in a land that doesn't fit him." Peter, Susan, and Edmund from the end of the Golden Age to England, and back, and back again.
A/N: [livejournal.com profile] templemarker has remixed this fic for [livejournal.com profile] remixredux09, and it's awesome: into something rich and strange (the tempus aeternum backbeat)

You know what Merlin fandom needs and I don't need AT ALL but really want? Merlin Remix Redux. AMIRITE??

the meme where you post a line from your WIPs )

This next thing is based on my post about the possibility of Arthur coming back to fix the recession. What does it say about me that this is not the first time I wrote about the Obamas hanging out with Merlin 'n pals?
3 facts about Arthur and Barack )

I wanna do that meme where you guys tell me three things that you associate with me, and then I ramble about them in a separate post. Go!
whynot: etc: oh deer (Default)
1. Would the 'missing scene' meme work if I drabbled a missing scene from one of YOUR fics? Or if YOU drabbled a missing scene from one of mine? Or is that too much.

2. OMG 'HUSTLE', WAY TO GO HAVING A WHIMSICAL BOLLYWOOD SONG-AND-DANCE SCENE AND ANGEL COULBY IN ONE EPISODE. I'M STILL PICKING BITS OF BRAIN OFF THE COUCH FROM WHEN MY HEAD EXPLODED FROM WONDERFUL. OMG.

3. What is with this LJ apocalypse I've been hearing rumours about (again). Whatev. But, since I've been meaning to do this anyway, I started an insanejournal here as a form of alternate fic repository. I should def move the older ones, 'cos I don't have the files for those anymore.

4. The awesome [livejournal.com profile] lazaefair has organized the crack-addled mess that is me and Bedlam's pevencestuous grifters commentfic AU (...we haven't thought of a title, okay) into chronological order, and it can be found on [livejournal.com profile] themusingstream. *glomps her* (Do people still use 'glomp' anymore?) At this point we've had cameos from Ocean's 11, Numb3rs (just a teeny one), and Merlin. And Boondock Saints, though the McManus brothers haven't officially showed up. ...Shit, I misplaced my shame gland again.

5. More drabbles:
Merlin/Narnia. Merlin and the Pevensies in England. This is entirely tricksterquinn's fault. )
Boondock Saints. Someone's forgotten something. )

The following were originally posted here for the (still ongoing?) 'missing scene' meme, and have been spruced up for an actual post.
