narnia // My Peter/Susan fic is mired in bathos :(. Now is the time to distract myself from it so I can come back with a clear head. The distraction should include napping, but I'm hopped up on caffeine, so I'll just chill here and wait for it to wear off.
his dark materials // The reason I am sleep-deprived and hopped up on caffeine: ( 'The Subtle Knife' by Philip Pullman. Spoilers of course. )
And now for those recs.
Recognition by Lizzen. Spirited Away. Chihiro/Haku, PG. Post-movie. And also champions environmental studies! Officially the first anime fandom I recced. No quote, it's short and the lines all flow together.
Disco Night by Sloane. The Office. Jim/Pam, PG13. No talking animals? What?
Then Dwight shows up in a shiny short-sleeve turtleneck with little holograms on it, and it’s hard to be upset when something so wordlessly awesome exists in the world.
OKAY GUESS WHAT FANDOMS THESE NEXT ONES ARE.
Sea Legs by st_aurafina. Eustace, Edmund, Lucy. G. Loads of fic deal with the Pevensies returning from Narnia, but I haven't ever seen one that deals with Eustace coming back until I found this one. Kickass.
Still, in his letters, Edmund has been very enthusiastic about the visit - wartime has decimated the holiday trade and the beach is nearly empty, but there is a little boat for hire that will be perfect for the three of them to sail.
Many and Beautiful Things by loki1013. Permutations of Caspian, Susan, and Peter, PG13. References The Last Battle. OH MY GOOOOOOOOOD YOU GUUUUUUUUUUUYS if you only read one fic from this post read THIS ONE. It BROKE ME. No quote, it's all good, trust me.
The Logistics of Victory by Dee. Peter/Caspian, PG... say, 15? Whatev. Post-Beruna. Made of yay!
He looked over his shoulder at the river, distracted by an idea, and already tugging at the buckle of his swordbelt as he turned back to Caspian. "Fancy swimming it again?"
Cold Beauty by Angel. Jadis/Susan, PG13. What if Susan had gone in instead of Edmund? Warning: creepy pedo shit.
No one comes to Susan's bed after curfew, nor does she slip out for the taste of girlish kisses. Instead, she remembers.
These Last Golden Days of Summer by bedlamsbard. Golden Age fic, PG. The Pevensies in the eyes of their subjects. Impressive subtleties!
Faun wine isn’t brewed, and Tilse’s is hardly new – his father put it away before he went off to war – but no one corrects a queen of Narnia.
Further Up and Further In by Kyra Cullinan. Tirian, Jewel, and the development of theirTwoo Wuv friendship. PG. If Jewel were human, Tirian and him would be slashed nigh unto heaven. Actually, I wouldn't put Tirian/Jewel past fandom. There's gotta be at least one, right? Let you show me it! Come on, Narnia fandom, don't let yourself be outperved by Harry Potter's.
Tirian was a little daunted by everything he knew about unicorns, how wise and pure and noble they were, but he pressed on. "Do you like apples?"
