back to life

Belated posting about the Narnia Fic Exchange. I received three (!) terrific fics. The first two are for the crack crossover pairing of my heart:

The seasons turn, and the thread of fate weaves through them, an ouroboros repeating the same patterns. A girl, a wolfpack, and the coming of winter; her loyal knight, ushering in the spring; and the burning shadows that long to swallow them all.

Susan aims to cut the thread.

omg the drama! the easter eggs! the worldbuilding!!!!

A What-If AU of the Golden Age of Narnia, set as if the South Sea pirates who became the Telmarines had been dropped into the Northern Seas instead of into Telmar when they first entered the world of Narnia. They just kept up their roving ways. All this is an excuse for some very slashy pirate porn.

OTP BABY!!!!


And wrote this Narnia/ASOIAF crossover for rthstewart:

I received three amazing gifts this round!

This is a gorgeous, heart-breaking Narnia/ASOIAF crossover with Susan Pevensie/Jon Snow, and basically Vialethe crawled in my head and found out everything I ever wanted in a fic and gave it to me, and it's lovely and I love her for it.


Next up, another Susan/Jon fic:

Summary:

All is not well at Winterfell University, but Susan Pevensie will be damned if she grants one more midterm paper extension. (Jon Snow, however, has seen the army of the damned, and came prepared.)

Another one totally tailored for me! Action and humor, and I literally laughed out loud! It is so much fun!


Finally, Caspian bangs all the Pevensies, because why not?

What it says on the tin.

I mean, how can I not love this fic, starring my beloved Caspian? Also the tags send me to another dimension! :D

***

I wrote one fic, for Aurilly because she's the best:

a shaped romance (2115 words) by Snacky
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Chronicles of Narnia - C. S. Lewis, Marvel Cinematic Universe
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: James "Bucky" Barnes/Edmund Pevensie
Characters: Edmund Pevensie, James "Bucky" Barnes
Additional Tags: Romance, Kidnapping!, no real action though, Crossover, bucky in narnia, Narnia Fic Exchange 2020
Summary:

Adventure and a weird sort of romance with Edmund and Bucky!

I rewrote this like, seven times before I was satisfied with it. That said, I think it came out well in the end! I am intrigued by Bucky and Edmund as a pairing, and it took me a while to make them work. And I wanted them well-adjusted (mostly) and happy. I laughed out loud at a couple of parts when writing it, so that seemed like a good sign.

I cut the smut, though, sorry (available upon request). :D

Today was the day for reveals for the 2014 Narnia Fic Exchange and for NFE Madness, so let's talk about fic.

First off, I received the most gorgeous story:

As The Waves Make Towards The Pebbl'd Shore (3928 words) by rthstewart
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Chronicles of Narnia - C. S. Lewis
Rating: Mature
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Caspian/Peter Pevensie
Characters: Caspian (Narnia), Peter Pevensie
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Time Shenanigans
Summary:

Once you are dead, you cannot want wrong things anymore. Caspian wants another 5 minutes on a round world.

Ruth put so much care and effort into making this story perfect for me, and I just LOVE it! Peter/Caspian! My beloved OTP! Getting a chance at a happy-for-a-while, if not a happy ever after! It's perfect and sweet, and she used so much of my headcanon in this (Peter being a musician, and Caspian an artist!) and it just made me grin from ear to ear as I read it.



Okay, on to the fic I wrote.

Endless Roads to Travel, Endless Lives to Live (3353 words) by Snacky
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Chronicles of Narnia - C. S. Lewis
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Polly Plummer
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe
Summary:

Three adventures Polly Plummer never had, and two she gave to others.

This was written for redsnake05 for this prompt: I can't imagine Polly settling down to an ordinary life after her adventures. I'd be happy to see her back in England figuring out who she is and what she's doing, or perhaps a canon divergence where she and Digory get to have more adventures in Narnia or in other worlds. Perhaps there is a threat to the Tree during the Golden Age, and she and Digory get sent back to deal with it? Feel free to include other characters or OCs as needed.

I was so happy with this prompt! I have a lot of headcanon for Polly (OBVIOUSLY) and I always wanted her to have more adventures after The Magician's Nephew. Also, I didn't like that last glimpse of Polly we had in The Last Battle, so I wanted to write something that eased that a bit. I had SO MUCH FUN writing this. It could have been a lot longer, if I had more time - I wanted Polly to have a few more adventures - but as it was, it worked as a kind of five things fic: three adventures for Polly, and two that she had a hand in. I wanted to spend much more time on the day sorcery, because that was delightful to think about magical uses for. I feel like I could write a whole book about that. Maybe someday!



For NFE Madness I wrote a little ficlet for vialethe:

The World Spins Madly On (555 words) by Snacky
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Chronicles of Narnia - C. S. Lewis, The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien
Rating: Not Rated
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Maglor/Susan Pevensie
Characters: Susan Pevensie, Maglor
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe, Crossover, Crossover Pairings
Summary:

Just a quick ficlet of Susan Pevensie and Maglor living an eternal life

Because she loves Susan/Maglor and she's my partner in crime in crack ships. I had fun with this, because I love that ship too, and it's just fun to think of Susan and Maglor living forever with each other. I wanted to make this longer too, but oh, my terrible time management skills!

Yes, it's time for the annual NFE! If you want to write and receive a Narnia fic, you can sign up here. It's your standard fic exchange, minimum of 1000 words, and because it's the summer and we're lazy, you have a lot of time to write. :D

Title: A Parfit Gentil Knight
Possible Spoilers/Warnings: Assumes familiarity with all the books. Reepichceep/Susan romance – mostly one-sided and unrequited. A mix of bookverse and movieverse – book references, but uses events from the Prince Caspian movie.
Summary: Reepicheep always wanted to be a Knight of Narnia, in the service of the Gentle Queen.
Author's notes: Written for the 2012 Narnia Fic Exchange, for TastyAsItGets, who wanted "an unlikely pairing, something ridiculous like Puddleglum/Lady of the Green Kirtle, except not that." Thanks to Jess for the beta.

( A Parfit Gentil Knight )

The reveals for the Narnia Fic Exchange are up!

First, I received Suffer A Sea Change, a post-Dawn Treader-movie fic, with Liliandil explaining her quest to Gael. It was written for me by the lovely animus_wyrmis.

Second, I wrote Sing Down The Stars for edenfalling.

( Thoughts on that back here... )

I am spamming everywhere with this, but in case you haven't seen it already and want to join in:



The 2011 Narnia Fic Exchange is coming up, and we hope you join us this year. More details here!

Title: Anywhere But In Between
Author: snacky
Rating: PG
Possible Spoilers/Warnings: Spoilers for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader; talk of killing/violence.
Summary: Despite what Aslan said, despite how hard he tries, he knows that he's living in the wrong place, far away from his own time.
Author's Notes: Thanks to unsuitenedt and rthstewart for the speedy beta and good advice. Title courtesy of musesfool and The Counting Crows. Originally written for the 2010 Narnia Fic Exchange, for tarayith. Prompt follows the story.
