I am on Chapter 6 and I have to share with you my favorite quote so far: “I’ve nothing against th’ blacks. When you read about ‘em in tracts they’re always very religious. You always read as a black’s a man an’ a brother. I’ve never seen a black an’ I was fair pleased to think I was goin’ to see one close. When I come in to light your fire this mornin’ I crep’ up to your bed an’ pulled th’ cover back careful to look at you. An’ there you was,” disappointedly, “no more black than me – for all you’re so yeller.” OH MARTHA. <3 Waaaaa I cannot wait to flail my hands about this book. I find the Yorkshire accent daunting because through fandom-tinted glasses what I'm thinking is, "How the hell am I going to write that dialogue?" Which Colin/Mary/Dickon fic did you read?
Despite my past shamelessness with RPF I haven't gotten into it so much with Narnia. Maybe it's partly because I prefer to attach their faces to the Pevensies than to Skandar, Georgie, et al? I dunno. In any case, the Pevensies have EATEN MY BRAIN. Peter/Narnia OTP! Susan/everyone-especially-Peter! Baaaah Peter/Susan gets my heart all in a twist.
I've read a few. I would LOVE recs! Thank you! I wish I hadn't chucked my Aja icon now. (It had "idk my bff jem?" on it, 'cos HEEEE.) There is this cool fic on Yuletide called 'Rock Stars'. ALSO, there was this one that I read YEARS ago that was a hot hot PWP of the Stingers in a hotel room, tying Minx up with a silk bathrobe and spanking was involved, and in the end there was some peeping tom recording on a video through the window. And it was illustrated. Sound familiar? 'Cos I have been trying to find it and I cannot. WOE.
