'another shore (people they never loved).' various narnia crossovers.
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]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bedlamsbard (Bed, I may still actually owe you fic, since this isn't technically Peter/Jadis), and Ororo between X2 and X3 for 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
- formarycontraire, who said Edmund/Effy (Narnia/Skins)
- foranimus_wyrmis, who said Edmund/Hermione (Narnia/Harry Potter)
- still foranimus_wyrmis, who also said Edmund/Luna (Narnia/Harry Potter)
- forbe_themoon, who said Nimueh/Jadis (Narnia/Merlin). With visual aid!
ETA: FUCK IT. Here are two codes to start a Dreamwidth account: DRQKSWTQPJHVZAAACZU9 and QFTXMA3ZGR9NJAAACZVA. I cast them to the wind and wash my hands of them!

Another Shore
- for
marycontraire, who said Edmund/Effy (Narnia/Skins)Neither Edmund nor Effy are surprised that their older brothers don't get along. Tony is bored and Peter is irritable, and when Effy bums Edmund his third cigarette, Peter says, "Stop that, it'll destroy your lungs."
"Really," says Effy. "I never knew."
Tony takes off early, ruffling Effy's hair before he goes. She ducks and swats his hand away, and Edmund takes note of the dullness in Peter's eyes as he watches Tony and Effy casually slag each other off.
"I'll walk Effy home, Pete," Edmund says.
"Why didn't you just go home with your brother?" Peter asks her.
"My brother isn't going home," says Effy, smoke trailing out of her mouth.
"Where's he going?"
"To cheat on his girlfriend."
Peter rolls his eyes and shakes his head, and shortly thereafter he leaves. Effy looks at Edmund and says, "Let's get out of here."
"All right," he says, and takes her hand.
- for
animus_wyrmis, who said Edmund/Hermione (Narnia/Harry Potter)1. "I think she's rather pompous," Susan says, scrunching up her nose. "And she ought to do something with her hair."
"Who are you to talk of being pompous?" Edmund asks airily, and Susan rolls her eyes.
2. "Oy."
Edmund turns around and sees a tall gangly fellow with a face almost as red as his hair.
He says, "You're that Edward kid, aren't you?"
"Edmund."
"Whatever. So. You're... seeing Hermione."
Edmund frowns. "Who are you?"
"Er. Ron."
"Ah! Ron Weasley?"
Ron brightens. "She told you about me?"
"Of course. You're one of her best mates, isn't that right?"
"Best mates." His smile falters a bit. "Right. That's me."
"Can I help you?"
"Look." Ron's frown takes on a more forced quality. "You better not be an utter donkey to her."
"Excuse me?"
"I'm serious, Edward. If you break her heart, I'll--"
"--break my legs?" Edmund guesses.
"And more besides!" Ron adds.
"Right," says Edmund. "Is that all?"
"What?"
"I said, is that all?"
"Um. You better not try anything."
Edmund looks at his watch. "Look, Beesley--"
"Weasley!"
"I'm in a bit of a hurry," Edmund continues. "If we really must continue this conversation, you can just ring me tonight. Hermione has my number."
"Oh no, you aren't--"
Edmund grins. "Splendid! Goodbye, Rob."
"Ron!"
"I'll tell Hermione you said hi."
- still for
animus_wyrmis, who also said Edmund/Luna (Narnia/Harry Potter)He finds himself telling Luna about Narnia and not really knowing why. 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.
The unspoken rule is that you can only talk about Narnia to people who have been to Narnia, but there are some days when he thinks that it's kind of like at the fancy antiques or jewelry store where, if you have to ask how much it is, then you can't afford it. Sometimes Edmund finds himself looking into strangers' faces wondering if they too have known the Lion. Was there some giveaway sign, or some secret code? Surely they can't be the only ones in the whole world. Narnia is too true to be kept among just a few.
Then Edmund meets Luna, who talks about heffalumps and woozles, and wears large brightly-colored glasses that supposedly help her see the wuffleplerts in the daytime ("They're much more visible at night. The sun makes them shy."), and his questions catch on her optimistic faith. He feels protective of her in a pre-emptive sort of way, like maybe how everyone treats her is how everyone would treat Edmund if he started talking left and right about Narnia.
Luna doesn't need protection. The jeers and name-calling come at her from all directions, and she just smiles and talks about the nargles.
+
"Did you have a betrothed?" asks Luna. "Kings have betrotheds, right?"
"A few. So did my siblings, but nothing ever came of it. There was a duchess in Terebinthia that... Well, I think if we had stayed longer, we..." Edmund shrugs. "But we didn't, so that's that."
"Tell me about the fauns," says Luna. "Were they very lusty?"
"What? Well, some. Not all." He smiles. "Don't believe everything you hear about fauns."
She nods solemnly. "It's just like with the Belgravian Snorkacks, you know. Everyone thinks they're the rabbits of the animal kingdom, but really they mate for life. They just fornicate a lot."
Edmund declines to tell her that rabbits are probably the rabbits of the animal kingdom, and he tells her instead about the late-night revels that the forest creatures used to have: how Tumnus had danced with Lucy until her braids came undone, how the laughter of dryads sound like leaves rustling, and how faun music has a magical quality that can heat the blood and hone the senses.
"Do you remember a faunish dance?" asks Luna. "Would you teach me?"
He does.

be_themoon, who said Nimueh/Jadis (Narnia/Merlin). With visual aid!Nimueh whispers an incantation and the cut on her palm closes itself.
Jadis opens her eyes.
+
The last thing Nimueh remembered before she died was a roll of thunder and a flash of light, a young boy's revenge echoing in her ear.
+
He is a powerful boy, Nimueh explains. He has a great destiny. She had sought to make him his, make him theirs, but she failed. His will is strong, and his heart too bound to the mortal world.
Jadis laughs. "These boys and their destinies. They'll be the death of us, my lady. Trust them not, nor their hearts."
+
Nimueh was betrayed by a sorcerer, one of their own; Jadis was betrayed by a king. "And oh, to be betrayed by a king," she crows. "There are worse betrayals. I do not regret my death. Everything happens in its own time, after all."
"Sister, what shall we do first?" the White Witch asks.
"First we drink," says Nimueh, "to us. To the ones they thought they could cast aside."
After all, they are both here, now. They had both been returned to the earth, but now the earth returns them to the world.

... I think the first fic I ever wrote was sort of Jadis/Morgan le Fay, now that I think about it.

It was Polly having some very confused imaginatings. Involving Jadis and Morgan le Fay. *grins*
no subject
Oh, yes, you too, Lassiter. Which is now going to be Sisi, because I have always wanted to call someone that.
no subject
HAHA. Why not. If I'm going to try everything at least once before I die, I might as well try being called Sisi.
no subject
Things I especially liked: TONY AND EFFY BEING LOVELY AND GETTING EACH OTHER IN THEIR OWN WAY, Tony in general (this makes me want to read Tony/Peter. IT'D BE SUCH A CAR CRASH), Ron Weasley being gaga for Hermione (♥) and a total afterthought, LUNA LUNA LUNA ALL THE TIME, visual aids, and, of course, FREAKING EDMUND BEING AMAZING.
YOU WIN THE INTERNET.
no subject
Ahaha! Tony/Peter did cross my mind, I WILL ADMIT. Probably surrounding how if Maxxie won't gay him now, then this Pevensie bloke might. He's kind of boring but he's got a nice face, and anyway it's not the first time Tony has had to deal with wankers who like to occupy the moral high ground. Makes it even better when they fall.

and when he was like, "Keep smiling," during the duel because he is smart like that.
Peter is way dickish in this movie, much more so than in the book, b-but... I found it compelling. HE WAS KING OF KINGS, and now he's like... an X-File. and hahaha Ben Barnes, INORITE?? hello his name is prince caspian you killed his father prepare to die.
no subject
He was strangely compelling! Like, even though I wanted to SLAP HIM, I also kinda understood all his stupid decisions and ~simmering rage~. Sort of. AND CASPIAN, THAT DRAMA QUEEN. I felt like the entire movie was him WAVING A SWORD AROUND AND YELLING. DRAMATICALLY. And the accent was such a terrible idea. (Oh, Ben Barnes.) The only Caspian scene I was really into was the one where he's all DAZZLED by Jadis. BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY LINES. Also, I could totally get with Caspian/Jadis, FUCK YEAH.
I WANT TO READ FIC, BUT I CANNOT FIND ANY FOR THE SHIPS I'M INTO. WOEEEEEE.
no subject
CASPIAN'S FINAL OUTFIT I LOL FOREVER
What ships are you into??
no subject
I Ship: Edmund/Anyone BUT LUCY, Seriously, ANYONE. And...that's pretty much it? Sometimes I like Peter/Susan, but really, ONLY IF EDMUND IS INVOLVED. I JUST REALLY LIKE HIM A LOT, OK???
Also, Tony/Peter. GODDAMN YOU.

INORITE?? I'm exciiiiited. And of course, there is Mary/Bert overtones sneaked because how can one not. I think you may have written the Mary/Bert. Looking at it again, I think I forgot to CP your theory about Mary Poppins being thousands of years old and Bert naming the girls he goes with when he waits for her, 'cos he always waits for her and she always comes back; it's just that some years it takes her longer than others. (I <3 that.)

I particularly loved the Edmund/Luna, I was grinning like an idiot throughout the whole thing. And EDMUND/EFFY! BE STILL MY HEART! I remember talking with someone once about how Georgie looks a little like Effy, and how hot Kaya and Georgie would be together, and this has just reminded me of how I ship Lucy/Effy (and any combination of them and thier respective actresses) so hard. And now I'm feeling all happy imagining Edmund taking her home to Lucy where they have a big happy threesome. Yay threesomes!
no subject
Lucy/Effy/Edmund? Hmm, interesting indeed... I wonder how Effy reacts to Lucy. I wonder if seeing Lucy and Edmund together makes her envious and miss Tony.
