Kings and Queens of the Wild

I've been thinking a lot about feral Lucy. I've loved that idea since I first discoverer it, but it doesn't really fit with any of my current stories, so I've been trying to come up with a new one centered around this idea.

The idea I came up with actually affects all four siblings.

...

The Pevensie siblings all came into Narnia when they were very young and still growing and changing. The magic of the land seeped into them and changed their bodies so they were no longer fully human.

Lucy spends a great deal of time with the animals. Specifically the wolves and big cats. the predators. they raise her to be one of them. Her eyes turn catlike, her steps become soft and soundless, and her canines sharpen. Her knives become her claws and she uses both them and her teeth in battle. She runs with the wolves and howls at the moon. She latches onto her siblings as pack and makes them have family cuddles. She growls when she's upset, hisses when startled or scared, and develops the ability to purr when happy and content.

Edmund spends a lot of time with the birds and griffins. He becomes as silent as an owl, and develops the ability to see in the dark just as well. In times of light his eyes function similar to a falcon's or an eagle's, able to pick out details at a far distance. He loves high places and when absent could often be found in the rafters, on a high parapet, or out patrolling on griffin-back. His reflexes are sharp and quick, able to strike almost as fast as a snake. He sometimes makes little chirping noises and when he's truly furious and lets himself express it, he can let forth a terrifying screech. It's also his battle cry. He loves shiny things and unless he's in sneaking mode will often have something shiny on him. his siblings will also give him little trinkets and pretty rocks they found as random gifts. thoughts are his favorites.

The other two were a bit older and thus went through less drastic changes.

Susan spends a lot of time with the dryads and naiads and she grew to have an uncanny grace in her movements. It was very unsettling to any humans they met. That, combined with her great beauty tended to leave them speechless in her presence. She was also incredibly flexible and could bend her body in ways that few humans are capable of.

Peter spent the majority of his time with Oreius and the other centaurs. He became both much stronger then most humans and far stronger than he looked; and he didn’t look weak. He also became and incredibly fast runner. He never fully realized his enhancements because he didn’t meet with humans often and when he did, and he engaged in challenges with them, they competed in skill rather than strength or speed.

Mine is similarly benign. I wasn’t really feeling like using my normal username the day I made my account. I’ve always really liked the story of Red Riding Hood, particularly the versions where she and the wolf are on the same side. I tried “redwolf” by itself first, but that was already taken, so I added the “woods” because I liked the vibe.

Tag Game!

Tag your moots and ask them where they got the idea for their tumblr accounts name! Thanks for the tag @hurricane105!

I’m a (genderflux) demiboy and I wanted something similar to my Wattpad username, NonbinaryNightmare, which was taken on tumblr. And I thought, hey, demiboydemon is pretty similar but accurate to my current gender identity.

Damian had lived almost half his life haunted by his brother. Every since Danny died, he kept forgetting he was gone and trying for a moment to talk to him. Even all these years later Danny was the first person he thought of when he wanted to share something exciting or sad.

Damian kept thinking he heard his brother's voice, or that he had caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of his eye, but it was never him. Danny wasn't an uncommon name and when ever Damian heard it, he would look automatically. Hoping.

When the tall dark-haired boy walked into his physics class and sat near the front Damian was sure it had to be just one of those moments. Sure he looked like Danny, with their fathers coloring and mother's nose. He seemed like he might be on his way to being the size of their father as well. he was incredibly tall, and though not yet as broad as their father, he was well on his way, only a little thinner than Grayson. But it couldn't but Danny. Danny was dead. he had forced himself to except this long ago.

"Danial Nightingale?" the teacher called, pulling Damian's attention. He wondered who here had a variation of his brother's name.

The dark-haired boy raised his hand. "Present!"

Damian tensed. it was a coincidence. It had to be. Danny was dead. Danny had left him.

The role continued and eventually came to "Damian Wayne?"

Danial's head snapped up and he turned to look at Damian when he announced his presence. So many emotions flitted minutely across the boy's face. Surprise, recognition, confusion, realization, then it smoothed out into a mask of distant curiosity.

Damian noted these expressions to think on later, but what struck him most in that moment, was the scar on his now visible left cheekbone. A thin line that cut upward, stopping just before the corner of his eye. Damian had given him that scare in training. There was not no doubt in his mind that this boy was his brother. Clones didn't have the same scares because scares aren't genetic.

Damian wasn't an impulsive person. He had been trained to think through every action before he committed to it. So he didn't react to his realization. He did not go running at his somehow living brother, either to hug him or to throttle him. He sat sat in his chair and decided that for now, he would simply observe.

Demon twins prompt

I got this idea while listening to Hold On by Chord Overstreet so this is loosely based on that. TW

...

Danny decides he doesn't want to live in the LoA anymore. That's not the type of person he wants to be, but he can't really see a way out, so he decides to take his own life (dealer's choice on how). Damian loves his brother very much, and even relies on him a great deal. Damian finds Danny as he's dying and freaks out. He can't loose Danny. Not only is he a valuable right hand, but his presence is one of the few things that make living in the league bearable.

Damian preforms basic first aid to sustain Danny while he gets him to the Lazarus Pit. He didn't ask permission to use the pits and he new he would get in trouble for it, Grandfather would probably see this attempt as weakness and insist that Danny die, but Damian didn't care. He couldn't loose Danny.

Unfortunately it didn't work, at least from Damian's prospective. Danny didn't reemerge from the pit. Damian is shattered. Before this he was a much more lively and talkative child. After, he be becomes stony, jaded, and even more violent. He went nonverbal for awhile but Ra's (even if he appreciated more silence, he expected to be answered when he asked something or gave an order.) forced him to speak. Two years later, Damian is sent to live with his father.

Danny is healed by the pit but either by coincidence or because the universe sensed his desire to escape and chose to grant it, he is transported to a lake in the U.S. and surfaces near the shore where Jazz happens to be playing, out on a trip with her parents. Upon learning that Danny is alone and has no family that he will admit too, Jazz decides that he is her brother now and asks her parents to adopt him. They agree.

This was not Danny's plan, but as his main goal was to escape his life in the LoA, he decides to take this chance at a new life.

Vlad came back into the Fentens' lives after Danny joins them so he believes he is their bio son. Danny still has his accident at 14 and the story mostly continues unchanged. He becomes the ghost king after defeating Pharaoh Dark and after a couple years he's reached a friendly equilibrium with the ghosts.

By the time he's 16, however, the GiW have gotten to be a big problem and Jazz offers to take him with her when she goes to university. (It's up to you if his parents are good or bad in this story.)

Jazz, of course, ends up going to Gotham University because it has a great phych program and she's a big fan of Dr. Quinzel. The two get a small apartment near the college (rent is dead cheep in Gotham) and Dani decides to come with them for kicks. Danny gets enrolled in Gotham academy and Dani at the local middle school. Danny stays in contact with his friends and Tucker made the three of them new IDs that would help keep them safe from the GiW. The Fenton siblings are now Nightingales.

Damian feels like he's finally healing from the loss of his Brother. He has a new family now that love and support him and make him feel safe to show and process his emotions. Then on the first day of a new school year, a boy who looks just like an older version of Danny walks into his class Damian is scrambling for an explanation when they start role call and the boy answers to "Danny Nightingale". Damian has to get to the bottom of this.

Demon Twins fanfic

I'm righting a demon twins story, which I've decided not to publish until I'm done because I don't work on it often, but I've had some fun ideas for parts I haven't gotten to yet and I figured I'd share some of them.

This scene I'm going to share is where Damian meets Dani for the first time. She's one of my favorite characters so I'm really excited. Also I know most people call Dani "Ellie" but Dani chose her name and i feel the family would honer that so she's mostly referred to as Dani. However, in acknowledgement of the homophone, she is nick named Lidy (Little Dani).

Important things to know for this point in the story: We've got bad parents Jack and Maddie, they sold him out to the GiW when he told them he was a ghost. Danny is 16 and has been phantom for two years, Dani was made physically 10 so now she is physically 12. Danny is the ghost king. Dan isn't a character beyond a one off villain and existential crisis for Danny, Danny badly faked his death and ran away from the LoA when he was young and joining the Fenton family through the foster system. Despite the faking being bad, the LoA told Damian that Danny was dead so he was very surprised when Danny showed up at the manor. Danny left before he could be told that Bruce is Batman, so while he does know that Bruce isn't the Brucie Wayne he portrays himself as, he doesn't know his new family are heroes. Except Jason all he has to do is meet him to mark his ecto signature and always recognize him. The bats don't know about his ghostness yet. Danny is also trans, his birth name was Danica.

........

Danny stared around the large room at all the fancy people. The party was officially in his honor, welcoming him to the Wayne family and presenting him to the high society in the area. He knew it was necessary. Cementing him as part of one of the richest families in the country would help protect him from the GiW, and he would also have to get use to general parties like this as part of that rich family. It was technically good practice for political events he, as the ghost king, would eventually have to start attending. It didn't make him like it any more.

He had been to a few parties like this before. Either accompanying Sam or Dragged by Vlad when Jack and Maddie insisted on them bonding.

He didn't like the suit he was wearing either. It was perfectly tailored to his body, and somehow wasn't actually stiff. this made it the most comfortable suit he had ever worn, but he had never liked this stile of dress, with its boxy outline, thin fabric, and the tie around his neck. Not only has he spent most of his life at this point in T-shirts and hoodies, but given his League upbringing and Ghost unlife, he was rather an old soul when it came to formal wear. Thick tunics, heavy and fancy coats, leggings with no loose fabric and tall sturdy boots were the minimum usually light armor and weapons were involved. This suit made him feel both caged and exposed, as well as being just down right boring in his opinion.

He'd tried to spend the evening sticking to Damian like a leach. Failing that, his plan had been to remain close to one of his numerous new family members, but somehow his plans had fallen short as getting out of a conversation with on of these rich people was about as hard as it was easy to be swept up into one, and all the Waynes had quickly been pulled apart.

Danny had only just been able to pull away from an older woman who thought he was "just too cute!" and also looked nothing like Damian "Are you sure you're twins?" and he was now hiding in the shadows of the stairs.

"I thought you swore off penguin suits," said quiet, but smiling female voice from behind his right shoulder.

"Dani?" Danny spun around quickly and saw his little sister standing there like she always had been. Despite he small size, she wore a very elegant floor-length black dress with long sleeves, a flowy skirt and pale blue embroidery all over it in wisps and curls. Looked very young, because she was, but she didn't look silly.

Danny scooped her up in a hug. "Dani! What are you doing here? How did you get in? When did you get here? You weren't in line when we we're greeting guests."

Dani shrugged when he set her down. "I just got here. Came through the wall. No one noticed me. And I'm here to see you, Dumb-ass. I was worried about you."

Danny smiled at the sentiment, then frowned as he processed a little more. "Did you come alone? I know traveling is your obsession, but we agreed that you shouldn't be wandering alone at your age. Does Pandora know you're here?"

"Hey, I wasn't alone! I was hanging out with Youngblood for a while, then when I came back visit Jazz a few weeks ago she said you'd gone missing, so I went out with Skulker to look for you! We were searching for ages! Then one day, low and behold, I see a picture of you on TV talking about this party and how you're a Wayne now! What happened? Why didn't you talk to me?" Dani finally paused for breath.

"I'm sorry, Dani," Danny sighed. "You don't have a phone, and with all the crazy things going on I haven't had the time to try and find you. But you're right. I should have reached out. Jack and Maddie gave me to the GiW. I escaped and came here to live with my twin brother and bio dad."

Dani floated slightly of the floor in excitement before Danny quickly pushed her back down. "We have a brother?" she asked. "We have a brother and you never told me?"

"Sorry," Danny started. "It's complicated. I had to leave him behind before and-"

"Danny?" both halfas turned to see a dark-skinned boy with similar features approaching them. "There you are. Sorry we got separated." Damian stopped when he saw Dani, his eyes flicking between the two beings before him. "Who's this?" he asked Danny, gesturing to Dani. "She wasn't on the guest list."

Danny looked down sheepishly, then back up at his brother. "Damian, this is our sister, Dani. Dani with an i. She snuck in. Dani, this is my twin brother Damian."

Damian eyed the two of them. His sharp eyes likely noting their physical similarities.

Dani grinned and bounced on her toes. "Pleasure to meet you!"

"Why did you introduce her as "our" sister?" Damian asked. "When you were introducing Jazz, you called her your sister, not ours."

Danny winced but answered the question. "Well, Jazz is my adopted sister, not yours. If you wanted to form that kind of relationship with her you can, but my adoption doesn't automatically make you related. However, as Dani is biologically related to me, and thus you, that makes her our sister."

"As far as I'm aware," Damian scanned between them again. "neither Father nor mother have procreated since our birth. So, how is she biologically related to you?"

Danny took a deep breath. "Okay, you guys have to promise not to get mad."

Damian raised an eyebrow.

"And no stabbing," Danny added.

Damian said nothing.

"Okay, so Dani is actually my clone."

"What?!" Damian stepped forward and Danny stepped in front of Dani.

"It's not her fault. Remember how I told you about the rich family friend who's obsessed with me? He cloned me and made Dani about two years ago. Neither of us asked for this, but it's not like you asked for me. She's my sister now and I won't let anyone take her from me."

Dani peeked out from behind him at Damian. "Do we have a stabby brother? Can I play with the stabby brother?"

Damian and Danny both relaxed as they laughed.

"Not right now," Danny answered. "You're in your nice fancy dress, and we can't leave the party yet, but there's a gym we can use later as long as you behave." He put his hand on her shoulder and pushed down slightly to indicate to her not to use any ghost powers.

Dani sighed. "Okay." She turned back to Damian. "Like he said, my name's Dani, but I understand that can be confusing. If you ever need differentiate us by sound, you can call me Lidy. It's Jazz's nick name for me."

Damian smiled. "I can't wait to see everyone's faces when they see you for the first time."

It Looks like food, It Tastes like food, It's food

I saw a post a while back where Danny would just eat random things that should not be consumed, including kryptonite, and it left a little brain worm, so here we are.

.....

Ghost eat ectoplasm. That's a generally known fact, to those who know things about ghosts that is, but what is less well known is that they actually eat anything with a high enough energy or strong enough signature. So they can eat things like magic, strong emotions, and radioactive rocks. Technically they can eat anything that isn't actively poisonous to ghosts, but if it doesn't have any energy it's just like a human eating dirt and has no nutritional value.

Danny does not know all these more obscure facts. his ghost knowledge is mostly based on experience and what he can learn from his parents' bias research. Of course, another ghost could tell him, but with all the other gaps in his knowledge, no ones thought to bring it up.

Danny thinking he can only really eat ecto does not, however, deter him from eating a lot of random things because he is under the impression that everything green and glowing (minus electric lights, he's not stupid.) is ectoplasm. And given the properties that make non electric things glow, he still obtains sustenance from them. Of course if he ever took one of the things he found back to his parents' lab or to another ghost, they could tell him it wasn't ecto, but why would he do that when he could eat it?

So to get to the DC part of this, imagine Danny as a JL or JL adjacent hero and freaking people out when they catch him eating things that shouldn't be possible to eat.

They're either in the middle of a battle or have just finished and Danny is hungry so he takes a bite out of one of Hal's constructs and everyone there is like "???"

They brake into one of Lex Luther's facilities to confiscate his kryptonite and Danny's like "Dinner!" and starts eating big chunks like they're apples and putting little pieces in his pockets as snacks for later. Super man avoids him for a week. Partially because he's scared the radiation will effect him from within Phantom, and partially because seeing that was actually scary.

Batman gets annoyed when his fail-safe kryptonite goes missing. Apparently Danny came over with Jason for a visit to the cave and he ate it as a snack.

....

Just a thought. Feel free to add on. There's a story in here somewhere.

[redwolfwoods]

I love it when there's choas that most associate with Dan, Dani, and Danny.

___

Dan, Dani and Danny just finished a meeting with the Justice League (with the YJL on the side lines just being nosey) to talk about alliances between the League and the Phantoms.

Superman: Phantom.

Dan, Dani and Danny: Yes.

Flash: Wait, you're all Phantom?

Dani: Yeah, it's our family name, duh.

Superman: We prefer to work with the eldest Phantom-

Danny, who still looks the same age he died but is actually 15: That would be me.

Everyone is shocked.

Dan, scoffed: We're ghosts, our physical age doesn't reflect our actual ages.

Kid Flash: Wait, how old are you guys?

Dan: 4 years old.

Dani: 6 months old.

Dan: Baby-

Dani just stuck out her tongue.

Danny: I'm 15.

Robin: But you show up throughout history?

Danny: I do odd jobs for the ghost of time.

Green Latern: We'll circle back to that later. So, how are you guys related?

Dan: We're the same person.

JL + YJL: Wha-?

Dan: Me and her are variations of that one.

Batman: Elaborate.

Dan: I'm from another timeline that doesn't exist anymore.

Dani: I'm his clone!

Danny: And I'm just Danny.

Flash: Didn't you call her your cousin? Wouldn't she be your daughter?

Danny: It's interchangeable, we change what we call each other everyday. Sometimes I'm their brother, cousin or parent. Which one depends on the day.

Dan: We honestly don't care.

Flash: Since you're from a destroyed timeline, wouldn't she also be your clone too?

Dan: Naw, it's a little more complex than that.

Dani: He's actually combined ghosts of Danny and Plasmius combined with Danny's memories. In hindsight, that makes him their child. Which means we're actually full siblings.

Danny: Which is weird since Plasmius is actually an old man with an unhealthy obsession with my mom and me. He was my parents' college friend and is my godfather and arch nemesis.

Kid Flash: ... There is so many things wrong with that statement.

Danny: And that's why we call him a fruitloop.

Aqualad: There seems to be an issue with archnemesises cloning their hero counterparts.

Dani, squealing: THERES ANOTHER CLONE!!

Superboy: Hi.

Dani, suddenly in Superboy's face: Mom, look! He can pass off as one of us.

Robin: That makes no sense, he has blue eyes and black hair, you have white hair and green eyes.

All three Phantoms, with an inhumanly large and toothy grin, turned human: You sure 'bout that?

Batman: You have human disguises?

Danny: Sure, we'll go with that.

Dani, on Superboy's back: Can we keep him?

Dan: He'll fit right in.

Danny: Superman is his dad-

Superman, bristling: Its not my son.

The Phantoms just stare at him:...

Danny: No.

JL: ??

Dan: I won't make a mess.

JL, confused: ??

Dani: I'll help with clean up.

JL, concerned: !?!?

Danny: No, now help me convince Superboy to join our fraid.

Narnia headcanons

High King Peter the Magnificent

Was the only one that got married out of the four siblings. He married for love, which is extremely rare for Royalty. He had no children, but he loved his spouse/(s) dearly (you may hc his spouse to be of any gender you'd like. Personally, i think Peter is bi.)

Epithets given to him by the narnians include but are not limited to: the Dragon Spirited King, King Peter the Kind-Hearted, Protector of the People, et cetera.

A few of his unofficial titles given to him by people from surrounding countries are: the Warmonger King, the Berserker, and the Bloody Barbarian. He had a reputation of fighting bloody wars and emerging victorious, and was feared all over the Mainland.

Earned the epithet the Bloody Barbarian because he wore blood red war paint on his face every time he rode to battle. It began right under his eyebrows, fanned out over his temples and down to his cheekbones. His blue eyes shone like gemstones against the dark colour; it made him look like terrifying.

Had long hair— it reached the back of his knees at its longest, but he got caught in a fire and had to have it cut to above his shoulders right before they fell out of Narnia.

Became obsessed with braids when he saw dryads braiding each other's hair the day after the coronation. He set up a tradition for himself— with every battle or duel he won, he would add one braid to his hair. It looked very intricate, and the braid count reached close to forty by the time he fell out of Narnia.

Had severe PTSD from all the wars he fought and from being a child ruler. He hid away when the terrors hit, either in the royal library or in Lucy's chambers. He wouldn't speak for hours and hours, and only got brought out of his thoughts when all his siblings gathered to form a cuddle pile to warm him up.

The chief battle strategist of Narnia, taught by Oreius and assisted heavily by Lucy. Came up with truly ingenious plans and formations. From this, stemmed his love for chess. You would often find him and Susan or Edmund holed up in a corner of the castle with a chessboard between them. He and Lucy refused to play each other, because they knew each other's strategising style too well and the battle on the board always came to a stalemate.

An Old Man at heart, truly. He loved to sleep early and wake up with the sun and have a nice, hot cup of well steeped tea as he listened to one of the castle servants read out the news of the day. Early nights and calm mornings were his favourite. Sadly, he did not often get either of those.

Epitome of academic jock. Very well read and had lots of knowledge and always studied diligently, but he preferred being out on the battlefield or in the arena with Rhindon in his hand and his shield on his arm. Introduced rugby to Narnia, and was the Jousting Champion at the annual Inter-kingdom tournaments for eight years straight til Edmund finally gave in to his pestering and participated, and took the trophy home.

His favourite subjects are History, Strategy and— weirdly enough— the Languages. He and Susan especially enjoy calligraphy. Both of them have extensive collections of luxury writing instruments and inks.

Had so many titles that he started hating writing formal missives by the fifth year of his reign. It was too tedious to write out all of them, so he simply hired a court scribe and called it a day. Even now, he considers hiring that faun the greatest idea he ever had.

Narnia Headcanons

Queen Susan the Gentle

Never married, but so renowned was her beauty that she received countless courting offers from kingdoms all over the Mainland and even the archipelagos beyond the Lone Islands. Got sick of it within a year, and stopped going out of Narnia on account of matrimonial alliances after the Rabadash fiasco.

Personally took in Aravis Tarkheena as an apprentice after the battle at Archenland, and a few years down the line, officiated her wedding to Shasta on the couple's request.

The Narnians gave her many epithets. A few of them are thus: Queen Susan the Fierce, Susan the Eagle-Eyed, the Peacemaker Queen, Defender of the People, etc. In Narnia, she was respected for her intelligence and for being a fierce warrior and archer.

Surrounding nations gave her the following titles: Queen Susan the Divine, the Celestial Beauty, the Heavenly Queen, and so forth. Outside, Susan was famous for her beauty and not much else. It chafed, to not be known for her intelligence or strength. She disliked her foreign titles for their shallowness.

She and the others adopted Peter's tradition of adding a braid every time a battle/duel was won. She would also regularly add flowers to her hair, unlike Peter who only let Lucy braid flowers into his hair on special occasions. She chose the flowers carefully depending on their meaning and how it related to each battle. When they fell out of Narnia, Susan had eighteen braids and types of flowers in her hair.

Detested war, and very rarely rode out to battle— only when there was no other way and she was absolutely required on the battlefield would she don armour and command the archers. She was just as good a strategist as her siblings, and won every battle that she led.

War paint was worn both in court and on the battlefield. In court, her war paint was her makeup— rouge cheeks, rosy lips, black kohl, pearls woven into her hair, shimmery dust on her eyelids and cheekbones. On the battlefield, she caked gold dust on her lips, eyelids and cheekbones till she shone like the sun. She was often called the Radiant Archer.

An athletic nerd; the exact opposite of Peter. She adored being outdoors with a bow and a quiver and sword-wielding with her siblings, but she would rather be in the library with her head in the books or in the throne room attending to the problems of the people.

Her favourite subjects were Literature, Governance and Economics. She had a head for Logic, and would often be found debating these subjects with Ed in their free time. She was a logical creature and rarely gave into emotions when making decisions, which made her well suited to settling internal disputes.

Chess with her sister was her favourite passtime. Lucy was an imaginative strategist and playing her was always a herculean challenge, and Susan quite enjoyed spending hours on the other side of the board from Lucy. Playing Peter was a delightful time, of course, but she liked to spend time with Lucy.

Had several casual relationships and hook-ups with people of all genders, but he neither fell in love with someone nor did he think that someone was politically beneficial enough to marry. He prefers not to label his sexuality.

Narnians gave him many titles. The Fair Judge, the Swordmaster of Narnia, King Edmund the Benevolent, Representative of the People and so on. He was greatly admired in the supreme court of Narnia for his kindness and unbiased treatment of everyone. Beyond Narnian borders he was called the Cunning Fox of Narnia, King Edmund Swordstorm, Edmund the Serpent-Tongued King, the Hurricane of Narnia, etc.

He was the chief diplomat of Narnia, and frequently journeyed to foreign nations to deal with international matters. He was renowned for his art of conversation and would weave such elaborate traps with his words that his prey did not realise they were in danger until they had no way of getting out.

He was a deadly swordfighter— he carried two swords, and despite the lack of a shield, preferred to wear leather armour instead of chainmail. The unconventional armour sent the message that he was lethal enough to not need any real protection.

In one-on-one duels, Peter was better, but Edmund was known as Swordstorm and the Hurricane of Narnia for a reason. His dual swords carved through dozens of enemy soldiers within moments, cutting swathes through the battlefield like a storm. He was brutal, swift and never left a foe alive, and was probably more feared that Peter.

His hair went down to the middle of his back, and was always in braids just like Peter's. He would let Lucy braid flowers into his hair whenever both of them needed to relax or had time. It wasn't uncommon to see the Just King walking around Paravel with roses or violets or jasmines in his hair. When they fell out of Narnia, he had thirty-two braids.

His war paint was deceptively mild looking— two dark green lines running over his left eye down to his chin, and three large dots on the underside of his right eye. It did not look very terrifying, but anybody who ever made the mistake of taking him to be harmless met their death at his sword a second later.

Enjoyed both studying and sports— he often took part in wrestling competitions and mock skirmishes, and just as often could be found debating with Susan, or metaphorically destroying some poor soul that had fallen for his charm and agreed to play chess with him, or in the library with his head buried in a book.

He and Peter refused to duel each other after a certain point in time. They knew each other's fighting styles too well— the duel would always end in a draw, no matter how brutal and deadly Edmund was or how fast and strong Peter was.

Just as good a war strategist as the other Pevensies. He usually left the strategising to Peter and Lucy, but when he did put in his two words, his plans were always crucial in winning wars.

His favourite subjects were Politics, History and funnily enough, cooking. He would often sneak into the kitchens during his free time and ask the chefs to teach him how to cook. Within a year of sitting in on meal prep, he was excellent at cooking, and at least every two months the Pevensies gathered for a family dinner prepared by Edmund.

Piercings. His right ear had four piercings and left had two. He had one in his belly-button and another on his tongue, and then a vertical piercing at his right eyebrow that exacerbated the action of him raising an eyebrow.

The King of Pranks™. Permanent and semi-permanent residents of the castle were frequent targets for his pranks, and the stories of his mischief-making were so outrageous and unbelievable that if anyone who had never been on the wrong end of his metaphorical sword would never even entertain the idea of them being true.

Queen Lucy the Valiant

Did not experience falling in love, and did not feel attracted enough to anybody to go for a casual relationship. She did pester Edmund about being in a relationship and drove him to madness— he already hated the number of suitors Susan had and thinking of people asking for Lucy made him fume even more. She took great amusement in riling him up with imaginary situations.

In Narnia, she was called Lucy the Lionheart, the Fanged Queen, the Merry Child, Queen Lucy the Healer, Lover of the People and more. She was known to be a happy person, always with a smile on her face, but also to be a lethal force in battle. She earned the name the Fanged Queen for her daggers— they were like a Lion's fangs in her skilled hands; fast, razor sharp and deadly.

Outside Narnia, she was known for her childlike smiles and her battle madness— the Child Queen, the Mad Queen, the Wild Child, Lucy the War Hungry, Bloody Lucy, the Merry Murderer and such terrifying titles. It was quite a shock for everyone who had heard her titles before meeting her, for she was nothing other than a little girl with the sweetest smile and the softest voice. Until, that is, the time for war came.

Peter's right hand when it came to battle strategy. Initially, it had been Edmund that had helped Peter, but as Lucy grew older they found she had a penchant for war, and Edmund immediately handed over the responsibilities to her to focus on the judiciary. People learnt very soon not to underestimate the 13 year old with dual daggers— she was as savage and deadly as a lion, and was not afraid to spill blood. Indeed, she was known to laugh as she killed on the battlefield.

Was the Spymaster of the espionage ring, and was extremely competent at it. She employed and trained unlikely creatures that would fly under the radar— Mice and Birds for their ability to appear dumb, Satyrs for their unassuming demeanor, Snakes for their stealth, and other small animals. It was the most successful spy organisation ever seen on the mainland.

Kept her hair short compared to the others. Went just below her shoulders, and had dozens of tiny braids following Peter's tradition. She braided white jasmines into her hair every morning for their smell, earning her the title the Crimson Jasmine after too many instances of the white flowers being drenched in her enemies' blood. When they fell out of Narnia, she had an impressive fifty-four braids— the highest out of all siblings.

Hated studying. Absolutely did not like to sit in one place poring over books for hours on end. She would rather be outside with the dryads and the satyrs, tracking the dumb animals through the forests on hunting expeditions.

Her favourite subjects were Strategy, Dancing lessons and Navigation— she was fond of sailing, and would usually accompany Edmund on his political journeys to the Islands and archipelagos. By the time she turned 16, she commanded her own fleet of warships, specifically to deal with the attacks on Narnian trade ships from pirates. She earned the title the Mad Queen for her daring and outrageous strategies to deal death on the sea.

Dancing with the Satyrs and the Dryads was her favourite passtime. If she was not on the sea and not in the archery range, she was in the forest, dancing around the fire in a circle. Her favourite dances were the Sword Dance and the fast paced Centaur's Canter.

Very often, she would assist Edmund with his ridiculous pranks. Equally often, she would blame him for her own pranks. Nobody other than the older pevensies ever believed that the sweet queen would ever prank anyone, which annoyed the three others to no end.

Playing Chess with Susan was also a treasured activity, for her. Often, the reason she came up with her outrageous battle strategies was that she had already thought of them when going up against Susan on the chessboard. Susan was a formidable opponent on the board and Lucy had to pull all the stops to defeat her. It helped when planning for actual war, and not to mention it was entertaining.

Susan Pevensie Ace

I have this headcanon that I haven’t seen anyone share that Susan Pevensie is asexual. She’s widely excepted as crazy beautiful and having lots of people court her, but she never gets married. The closest she gets is Prince Rabadash and he was really super nice to her in Narnia, gave her lots of presents, and would be a good political alliance, so to me it looks like someone who doesn’t know they’re ace and therefore believes they should get married going with the best option. Then she finds out he’s actually a jerk and nopes out of there. Whether or not she’s also aro is up in the air, but either way she gets enough love and support from her friends and family that marriage really isn’t a priority.
