afterimages [this side of the looking glass] . a narnia fanmix. peter & susan after the fall.

Instead, I will demonstrate my feelings through SONG.

I kept on coming across songs that would fit better on a Susan mix part two (augh Susaaaan). And there is maybe a Morgana mix in the making? Anyway, here are a handful of songs and corresponding microdrabbles about Peter and Susan, post-PC. Rated PG13 for implied incestuous sexings.

1. The Ditty Bops, "Growing Upside Down"

just as the summer melts winter's ice
temptations come to tempt you twice


It's like a picture climbing out of their heads to bend their bodies to its will. She'll wait for him to meet her gaze and recognize the moment with her. When he doesn't, she won't know how to feel.



2. Devendra Banhart, "Autumn's Child"

raise your head, autumn's child
you sweet young thing


There is relief and there is dread, and there is Susan with her eyes closed and her lips parted and her fingers curling in his hair.



3. Tori Amos, "Way Down"

gonna meet a great big star
gonna drive his great big car
gonna have it all here on the way down


"What time will you be back?" Peter asks.

"When the cock crows, Father," says Susan, rolling her eyes. She kisses his cheek and slips out the door.



4. Sufjan Stevens, "Holland"

in the summer heat, I might

As she buttons up her blouse, she asks, "What is it?"

He shrugs and looks away. "Nothing," he replies, and says something inconsequential about the weather as she reapplies her lipstick.



5. Fiona Apple, "Never is a Promise"

you'll never hear the message I give
you'll say it looks as though it looks I might give up this fight


They accuse each other of the same things: childishness, tendencies towards flights of fancy, forgetting what truly matters.

"The point is that we're here," she says.

He says, "We're here, but that is not the point."

And it begins all over again.



6. Ben Folds Five, "Selfless, Cold, & Composed"

you don't owe me to be so polite
you've done no wrong
get out of my sight


She gives him the same smile she uses on the people she wants to impress and the people who want to impress her, and he wonders, When did it come to this?



7. Telepopmusik, "Stop Running Away"

all we need is peace of mind

"You ought to come out with us, Peter," she says. "You love to dance."

He shakes his head. "I used to."

"Nonsense," she laughs, and he lets her take his hand and waltz him twice around the kitchen, the steps familiar and the song only in their heads.



8. Nickel Creek, "When In Rome"

grab a blanket, brother,
so we don’t catch cold from one another
I wonder if we’re stuck in Rome


At the funeral, she thinks, I should have known.



9. Joanna Newsom, "Bridges & Balloons"

oh my love, it was a funny little thing
to be the ones to have seen


She allows herself to remember from time to time: the weight of a crown on her head and the assurance of prophecy, the constancy of love. She allows herself a few regrets, because she is only human. Her dreams still tease her sometimes, but then she wakes and the morning is pouring in through her window, and she does what she must.

Music yay!

I posted this and realized I'm def gonna put 'Peter/Susan' as one of the things I WON'T write for the Exchange. I am all Peter/Susan/-ed out.

oooh I am so excited! That is a pretty pretty cover. And these are pretty, pretty, sad bits of Peter/Susan. <3333

Thank you! Why is their tragedy my happy place? I had so many thoughts about this mix and I nearly went the way of the commentary a la my Susan mix instead of writing drabbles, like I wanna say stuff like how Fiona Apple's wordiness kinda screamed Susan at me (well, Susan before she snapped herself out of it and started rebuilding) and how it is just not a Narnia mix without Sufjan Stevens. And MORE, argh, but ANYWAY, I hope you enjoy the mix!

Sweet! I can't wait to listen.

How do you manage to make so many things fit Narnia?

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2009-05-28 09:40 am (UTC)(link)
Yay, plz to enjoy! Despite the ending. XD

How do you manage to make so many things fit Narnia?
It is both a blessing and a curse. Brain, you could totally be occupying yourself with more useful things.

Wow. There is not enough Peter/Susan in this world, but you definitely excel at everything you create related to them. What a gorgeous mix, thanks!

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2009-05-30 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Oh my goodness thank you so much! XD I'm utterly chuffed. I adore Peter/Susan to bits, ever so screwed as they are. Once they ruled the world! And then they got the rug totally pulled out from under them. What gives?! There is totally not enough of Peter/Susan in the world.

Oooh. I love it.
Do you think you could upload it to mediafire or something? The zShare site isn't letting me download it...

Omg - waaaay back when "When in Rome" came out, long before the movies or fandom, or fanvids, I thought that it was the PERFECT Narnia song! Though I always thought it was more of a post LWW than LB song.

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2009-07-12 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm, I can see that too. it's the 'wondering about the past but having to live in the present thing', i reckon. nickel creek are pretty great, i adore them.
