"when it was difficult to let go", narnia, pevensies, pg

It's one thing to waste time doing something enjoyable and eventually realize you're fucked, but it's that much more frustrating when you're wasting time doing something distinctively UNenjoyable. Like being bewildered at your statistics homework and hoping that staring at it in horror will eventually make it comprehensible. So, ON TO MORE ENJOYABLE THINGS.

Seeing as I have no time to do a cumulative recs post, let's try one rec per post, chipping away at it and such. And All Our Yesterdays is Peter/Susan in England, trying to keep it together and falling apart, as a Peter/Susan in England is wont to do.

I am planning to do a couple of drabble-dumps at some point, but I think this one is long enough to merit its own post.

five times in england when it was difficult to let go
Narnia ficlet for lettersandliars, who knows who didn't start the fire. Pevensies post-LWW. Pevencest if you squint.

( and then they are gone )

"Sea Salt", narnia, peter&lucy, pg13

I think this one is also long enough to merit its own post. It is also all in lowercase. Why? 'Cos I didn't think ahead and wrote these ficlets all up in the comments of the song meme post like that, and now I am too lazy change it. Ah, posterity.

...Check out also her Edmund&Peter in Narnia fic, Kingly Business.

Sea Salt
Narnia fic for etsu_88, who knows her Spice Girls as I do. Peter&Lucy on the beaches by Cair Paravel. (Again with the squinting.)

good gracious thunder and lightning INDEED

Antichrists Anonymous, a Family Guy/Good Omens crossover. Stewie/Adam of the it's-slashy-if-you-squint variety.

In-between my social theory readings, I have been perusing the limited preview of Francis Wheen's Karl Marx: A Life and absorbing Marx/Engels innuendo. "Self," I tells me, "this is not the right way to approach either a study break or supplemental course reading."

BUT COME ON. There have got to be more of you in the Marx/Engels camp? The following are choice excerpts from Wheen, not only for my personal reference, but also for YOURS. You know, just in case in the future you want to write about their beautiful 19th-century revolutionary love.

( why Marx and Engels complemented each other perfectly and that is not my wording )

( a brief sketch of Marx )

( Engels's double life )

( Marx and Engels' first meeting )

( and because it's cute: excerpt from a letter Engels wrote when he was drunk )

This requires no lj-cut: "They had no secrets from each other, no taboos; if Marx found a huge boil on his penis he didn't hesitate to supply a full description."

AND how about the part where Engels taught paleography to the German Social Democrats that wanted to organize Marx's unpublished papers because Engels and Marx's wife were the only two people who could understand his writing. Not only was it messy, but they would correspond in "Anglo Franco Latino German mumbo jumbo." THEY HAD THEIR OWN SECRET LANGUAGE, GUYS sort of.

...There is so much about this post that would have had me blacklisted, once upon a time.
