#caspian&edmund&rilian

[supernovasilence]

Sorry if this is random, but Casmund with Rilian idea: I know this isn't likely possible, but what if Edmund takes Rilian and Caspian to meet his mother. Edmund and his mother haven't seen each other in a few years(for Edmund in Narnia it's been longer). So she had no idea about Caspian, Rilian or that her son is gay or where he's been for the last few years. But Helen Pevensie has always felt her children were different. Ever since they came back as children they've been different. Edmund especially so. So yeah I just want Edmund to have like a once in a lifetime chance to introduce his mother to Caspian and Rilian(maybe his siblings to. Lucy being back in Narnia)

No, I love this. I like au's where the Pevensies stay in Narnia, but it does make me sad when they have to give up England and everyone they knew there. (I have several fics I'm working on that use the idea that, after PC or VDT, Aslan lets the siblings travel between Narnia and Earth, because I just want them to have their cake and eat it too, but even so, when they grew up they'd def move to Narnia full time, and their parents would hardly ever see them and know nothing about their lives.) So I love the idea of Helen seeing Edmund again.

And he's a stranger now, but he's still her Edmund, too. She doesn't understand his life--it's certainly not the life she imagined or wanted for him--but then her grandson smiles at her, or she sees some small gesture of affection between Edmund and Caspian (they exchange looks, having a conversation with just their eyes, and then Caspian puts a reassuring hand on Edmund's back while Edmund waits for his mother's reaction, and Edmund relaxes just a breath), and it's so like how Helen and her husband interact. And she understands that Edmund's life is not the one she'd have picked, but it's a good life. It's a life full of love. So she embraces her son, and then she embraces her new son-in-law and her grandson.

(uhhh sorry this got away from me a little; it's just such a good idea)

[thedawntreaders]

the silver chair except eustace's dragon curse never truly left.

it remains dormant on earth of course, for there is no need of dragons there and it certainly is no place for them, but when eustace is put in situations of high, high risk in narnia, it can't help but come out instinctively.

the poor boy doesn't figure this out until it happens.

eustace never had a particular desire to die, but he gave himself no choice in the split second moment he takes to dive in front of prince rilian. for an old friend such as caspian, he would give his life to him and his family as many times as they'd need, even if he only had one to spare. a proper act of sacrifice, he reasons to himself, much nobler in comparison to what he did last time he was in narnia. lucy and edmund would be very proud, wouldn't they?

jill covers her eyes and screams.

but what should have been human skin caught on the witch's serpent fangs turns brittle and cold, like the hardened scales of a dragon's hide. the sorceress flies backwards and releases a piercing screech.

prince rilian shakes jill, begs her to open her eyes. she shakes her head. she can't, she won't. eustace is dead. eustace is dead!

an unfamiliar roar reverberates throughout the dark castle. oh no. jill finally peeks through her fingers, a new bout of fright expelling her grief. what now? hasn't she suffered enough? but her hands fall quickly to her side and she stumbles back, looking, up, up, up.

standing between her, rilian, and the serpent, stood a gallant dragon, one that towered over the two humans and blew fire into the air.

"eustace?" jill whispers.

eustace stares down the lady of the green kirtle in the eyes and grins. why, this evens out the playing field, doesn't it? his snout flares and he roars once more.

you will pay for what you've done, witch.

oh, if only reepicheep were here to see him now.

[crazy-narnian]

I must confess…

There is something extremely upsetting to me about the way Caspian X is a constant victim of loss throughout the Chronicles of Narnia series.

Like, I mean, when we first learn about him in Prince Caspian, we are told he lost his mother and his father as a little boy, then later in book he loses his Uncle and then his Aunt because she chooses to live new life in another word.

Moving on to the voyage of the dawn treader, he loses the closest thing he has ever had to family when Lucy and Edmund leave Narnia for the final time. You know that line where Caspian says “I think of you as my brother” to Edmund in the movie? Yeah, cuts me straight through the heart every time, because he doesn’t get to see them again or Peter until the end of the Last Battle, and don’t get me started on Susan.

But that’s not the worst of it, because what follows next is the death of beloved wife and then the loss of his one and only son Rilian in the Silver Chair. Like, oh my lord, this man has taken L after L after L and I wonder if there was ever a point in his life where he just blew up at Aslan for taking everyone that he either loved or cared for away from him. Because honestly, I would too, if this happened to me.

Oh, Caspian X, you might be the telmarine who saved Narnia and one of the greatest rulers the country has ever had, but my word, did that come at a cost. I’m so sorry.

Some Sh*t my OC Said...

tagged by @gamyrmaiden, there will probably be a few of these coming today as I think of them. 3 top quotes for...

Devin Villareal (aka my fav) Part 1

[nothinggold13]

I keep describing my latest quiz as “delightfully cheesy,” and now it is here for all of you to enjoy!

[narnia-and-the-north]

"Friends of Narnia" headcanons

(contains spoilers I'm sorry)

Digory having a certain connection with Edmund that he doesn't with the other children because he, too, was once under an enchantment of Jadis's type of magic, and also gave in. Polly would be able to understand the pressure, but she didn't give into it

Eustace and Jill being able to understand it to a certain extent from when they were saving Rilian

Eustace telling Edmund and Lucy about how much Rilian is like his father, using the example of him longing so badly to make the adventure down to Bism that it almost cost them their lives

Eustace also having to tell the siblings about the state Caspian was in- but then with joy recounting the sweet reunion of Caspian and Aslan in Aslan's country! For real that scene brings me to tears

Just imagining how Polly reacted when Digory told her after all that time that someone had finally gotten back into Narnia and it was through THAT wardrobe

Digory feeling an age of gut-wrenching regret and guilt easing considerably when he finds out that Jadis, the evil he awoke, has finally been wiped out

When he's telling Eustace the story of how he and Polly found Jadis, and how he thought she was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen:

- Polly muttering that she never saw anything so beautiful about her (it's canon, in The Magician's Nephew)

- Eustace and Edmund exclaiming at the same time "You never saw Ramandu's daughter!"

Polly and Susan having similar personalities because Susan is very logical and Polly is very witty. The way Polly talks about Susan in TLB makes me think she knew her very well, maybe thought of her in a daughterly way

can the fandom please talk more about the fact that High King Peter and King Edmund dressed up as workers and trespassed into a stranger's back yard to dig a box out of the ground to get the rings!!!!!!! please

Please add more!!

When you are not human being - Narnia Preferences

Edmund: You was a Banshee...or how you like to call it an undead fairy of death. The most of the people of Narnia feard you, even the loyal guards are trembling when you walk around the castle. That was the reason why you often just stayed in one room. Now you stand on the balcony of the library. "Hey,  (Y/N). Why are you hiding here?" Edmund asks when he find you. You sighted and turned around. "I am tired of their fear of me." you respond. Edmund wasn't afraid of you, he knows you and he trusts you. So he stepped closer and took your hand in his. "Listen, I know it is hard for you, but some day you become my queen. They will accept you, just show them how you are." he advised lovely. "I am not good to bring people to like me." you said a bit helpless. "That was not what I meant, you shouldn't bring them to like you, when they see what a great personality is behind they can't resist to like you." Ed explained with a grin. "Oh come on, this sounded a way too corny." but you laughed about it and just hugged him for being there for you.

Peter: You walked up and down in your room, you was just nervous because the full moon is this night. Peter couldn't help and stopped you:"(Y/N) please stop, there is no need to be nervous." he meant and stroked your arm where he grabbed you gently. "Yeah you aren't the one who transform into a hairy beast. And it is the first time that you want to be with me in this moment, this is unusal for me." you explained maybe a bit hysteric. Peter took a moment and just looked into your eyes but then he said:"Wait...are you afraid...of me?" And he was right. You was so in worry that he wouldn't like you after this. "I-I am. You never saw it, what is when you don't like me after this, or you disgust me." you was nearly about too cry. "Oh no, I know you are a werewolf. I love you with all my heart and every part of you, and the werewolf part of you is important too for me. I just want to be with you in the time because I want to understand it completly." he explained. He stroked your cheek and smiled. You took his hand and before you kissed him you meant:"Glad that I am drinking the potion now, so it is not dangerous for you."

Caspian : It was the time when Caspian started his reign and and wanted to make peace with the calormes. But this was a away more difficult than he thought. "We should bring them this document, when they accept fine, when not maybe we should prepare for war."he meant. "I do." you said in a dry tune. Caspian looked up at you. "No, I don't want you to go." he meant in a strict tune. "Why not? I am an dark elf, those calormes couldn't kill me even when they want." was your opinion. "I said no. Only because you are an dark elf this doesn't mean that you could do every dangerous task. This is my last word." he told you and went out of the room. You went to look after him and could catch him. "Cas." you said soft. "Like I said I don't want you to go." I meant again. "I love you too much...than to take this risk that you could die. I know you are not a human but even you are not unbreakable." Caspian began to explain in low voice and laid a hand against your head. "I just want to help you, I have the power of many abillities that humans don't have, maybe we should use it." you told him. His forehead laid against yours. "Not even in the worst times, I will risk your life." he whispered and kissed you lovely.

Eustace: (just imagine him older in this book) All of you were in the giants town. Jill read what probably could happen to you four. "Just when they try to touch one of you, they have to fight against a demon." you said dangerous and your eyes always watchful. "(Y/N), calm down, we will find a solution so that we don't have to fight." Eustace meant to you. "Fighting is the only thing I can do good. I will protect you, so I should use it." you respond. You never got used to get comfort of people, and it was difficult to handle that. "You are not just good at fighting." he spoke. You looked to him confused. "You are good in words. Good in doing jokes and finding shelters." he told you in a very proud tune. You was surprised and couldn't get any words out. "Eh yeah this thing with I am good with words you can take out, I am speechless." you meant insecure. Eustace came over and sat next to you. "Believe me, I never thought that I could ever like a demon that much, so I fully understand this." he grinned and hold your hand.

Rillian: You just waited, in the pond on a stone, that Rillian came. He visited you every day when the sun was going down. "Hey there, did you see the most beautiful nymph here?" he joked when he saw you. "Hmm maybe she is waiting all day long." you respond with a chuchkle.   "Didn't in the mood to swim to me?" he asks because you didn't move from your stone where you sat. "Oh I am in the mood to swim, but why you don't come into to water?" you suggested and looked at him. "How you wish, love." he said with a smile and jumped into the big pond. So you jumped too and under water your grabbed his face to kiss him. But you noticed that he needed air and so you both came up. "Sorry, sometimes I just forget you are a human." you apologied. And your arms laid around his neck, you felt how his legs touched your tail sometimes. "Sometimes I wish you could have legs, (Y/N). Then we would being more together." he meant a bit sad. "I don't know if legs would fit me." you said. "What is when we would have the possibility to make something so you can have both?" he asked. "I think this would be great." you respond smiling. "Then this is my new task, to find something." he smiled and kissed you before he splashed water into your face.

Edmund and Caspian attempt to dress their toddler for snow. That's it; that's the fic; that's the fluff.

[e-louise-bates]

Petition to start referring to Susan Pevensie's arc as "The Tragedy of Susan" rather than "The Problem of Susan." Her arc is not defined by the "problem" of growing up; it is the tragedy of forgetting she is a queen.

In Prince Caspian, we see the seeds of this. "It's no good behaving like kids now that we are back in Narnia," Peter tells her when she is afraid of entering the treasure chamber in the ruins of Cair Paravel. "You're a Queen here." Aslan does not chide her for being too grown-up to believe in him; he lends her his breath for bravery so that she can stop listening to her fears. Susan's "problem" in this book is in fact that she behaves more like a child than a queen.

In many ways, Susan's arc parallels Prince Rilian's in The Silver Chair. He is the Lost Prince; she becomes the Lost Queen. He is enchanted to forget who he really is. The Green Lady twists his birthright so that he is going to conquer his own land and rule as a usurper--the land where he is meant to be the rightful ruler! He unconsciously trades his role as the true prince for a false kingship (similar to Edmund trading his birthright as a true king of Narnia for the Witch's false promise to make him a prince ... hey, you'd almost think this was a theme or something).

Susan likewise trades her identity as queen for a false substitute in England, exchanging the substance for the shadow. She is a child pretending to be a grown-up, not actually being grown-up. Lewis never says there's anything inherently wrong with "lipstick and nylons and invitations," but they are merely the outward trappings of society. What makes a person a king or queen comes from inside. When Rilian returns to Narnia, he is instantly recognized as a prince, despite his lack of a crown or any of the other formal trappings of royalty. He is recognized because he is no longer hidden by the armor of the Green Lady--and so he looks like himself. In fact, he not only looks like himself, he looks like his father. (Which is also how Lord Bern recognizes Caspian in the Lone Islands, despite Caspian not having any outward proof of his kingship--Caspian looks and sounds like his father. Shasta is recognized as a prince because of his resemblance to his brother--oh hey, we've got another theme going.)

Susan has put on the armor of the world, and in doing so has lost herself as queen. That is what makes her arc a tragedy. But! There is always, always hope. Rilian is rescued. Shasta is restored to his true identity as Prince Cor. Edmund is redeemed. Aslan breathes on Susan. Caspian's kingship restores right order to the Lone Islands. No one is ever irredeemably lost.

Once a king or queen of Narnia, always a king or queen of Narnia.

Even when they themselves have forgotten who they truly are.

                              THE WINTER NARNIAN GIFT EXCHANGE.

                    for: @athoughtfox from @oflucyandlorien.

Lucy and Edmund stand on the railway platform, waiting; Eustace tears his gaze from the compartment window. The train slows, jerking to a halt, and Eustace stands, pulls his case down from the overhead rack, steps off the train, and looks about for his cousins.

“Eustace!” Lucy throws her arms around his neck and leans back to look up at his face. “You’ve grown taller than me.”

“So he has,” Edmund notes with a grin. “Sorry, Lu. Destined to be the shortest, I suppose. Well, except for Susan, but she’s always wearing heels.” Edmund frowns at Eustace’s face, and his tone changes. “What’s the matter, Eustace?”

“Caspian is dead,” Eustace says flatly. He nearly whispers it, really, because it hurts, the memory of Caspian so old, when he’d been so young just weeks before. Edmund recoils, Lucy’s arms drop from around Eustace, and she takes a step back, frowning.

“What?”

“I think we both heard him, Lu.”

“Edmund!” Lucy turned back to Eustace. “What are you talking about?”

“I went back,” he tells the railway platform. “Two weeks into autumn term.”

“That was months ago,” Lucy says quietly. “Why didn’t you tell us sooner?”

“I should have, I know. I’m sorry.” Eustace clamps his mouth shut for a moment, willing his voice to steady. “It just—it didn’t seem the sort of thing I could put in a letter and explain properly without beginning at the end, which I suppose I have…anyway. I’m sorry.”

“No,” Edmund says hollowly. “He can’t be. We were just there. I—we were just there. He can’t be.” Edmund looks as though he might hit someone. Eustace steps away without thinking, and Edmund shakes his head. “I’m sorry.”

“How long had it been, in Narnian time?” Lucy tilts her head in question. “I mean, it wasn’t in a battle, was it?”

“No—no, it was nothing like that. It must have been decades since this summer. When we got to Narnia, I didn’t know Caspian until after he had sailed to seek Aslan’s country again. Oh, bother it all. I ought to have started at the beginning.”

“Would you, still? I’d like to hear as much of your adventure as you’ll tell.” There’s a yearning in Lucy’s voice, and Eustace remembers how she still seemed to be half in Narnia the rest of that summer, even  back in Cambridge.

They sit on a platform bench and Eustace begins with the beginning: Jill crying behind the gym, stumbling into Aslan’s country or being pulled by magic, how they arrived in Narnia only to just miss Caspian setting out for the end of the world, meeting Trumpkin, the parliament of owls and meeting Puddleglum, running around up north with the giant city and discovering the underground world, how they found Caspian’s son, Rilian, just time for Caspian to see him again before he died, and how, after the old king had died, he and Jill had found themselves in Aslan’s country again.

“After that it gets a bit blurry,” Eustace says. Lucy wipes her eyes surreptitiously; Edmund hands her a handkerchief. Seven months ago, Eustace would have mocked them for it, but it’s all he can do to keep his own voice steady.

“At any rate, Jill and I were back by the river in Aslan’s country, and Caspian was lying in the river. He looked as though he were sleeping.”

“Oh, Eustace,” Lucy says.

“Aslan made me drive a great nasty thorn into his paw and he let the blood fall on him, Caspian, I mean, and it sort of de-aged him until he was about the age he was on the Dawn Treader. After we talked a bit, Aslan let Caspian come with Jill and I back to the Experiment House, for about ten minutes, and we did Them, the bullies at school, I mean, rather a lot of good. The board ended up getting rid of our Head after the investigation into ‘costumed people with broadswords’ and ‘an escaped lion from the circus’.” Edmund snorts, and Lucy smiles a little.

“I’m sorry to have been the bearer of bad news,” Eustace says after a moment. “I wish I could have gotten to tell you that I had had some fantastical adventure in Narnia where everyone lived happily ever after.” Edmund snorts again.

“Caspian is living happily ever after, in Aslan’s country,” Lucy reminds them, smiling rather sadly. “Thank you for telling us that, Eustace.”

“Yes, thank you,” Edmund says. They sit on the bench, leaning on one another, until the last of the other passengers have left the platform.

And what if all that Susan ever dreamed of in this bleak Londonian life was just a wish away ?

In the winter of 1953, leaning over her newborn daughter’s crib, Susan Mason, formerly Pevensie, tries to hold back her tears. She thinks of happier times, when there was laugh in the air and a crown on her head, and with all that she is, all the soul that 1949 has left her with, she wishes that she could give even a fraction of that bliss to the tiny babe sleeping right here. Maybe it’s the nostalgia, or the date, or the fact that she hears the door of their tiny apartment open, but for the first time in twelve years she says it. She says it with hope, hope for a better life. She says it like it can actually resolve everything, a mantra.

A prayer.

Villareal Household: Chapter 3, Part 4

Devin and Luna visit their doctor, before Devin plays a doctor in her guest star role on Residency of the Heart.

Luna: Thank you for having an after hours clinic

Dr: Well babies never stick to work hours so why should we. Will your wife be joining us?

Luna: Oh she's already in the office, we're so excited

Dr: Glad to hear it. Always helps when both parents are in sync Luna: Pretty sure our hearts beat in sync

Dr: Lie down and we can start the ultrasound

Devin: This is so exciting

Dr: Before we get started are you wanting to know the sex?

Luna: Yes please Dr. We're already thinking of too many names. It would be nice to narrow our selection

Devin: If only by half

Dr: I know what you mean

Devin: You don't let paparazzi in here do you?

Dr: Rest assured Mrs Villareal, all your records will be kept private and confidential

Luna: It would be nice to tell people ourselves

Dr: Now you know your baby will be an individual right? What sex appears on the ultrasound will not necessarily fit

Devin: We're part of the queer community, we get it

Luna: He's just being thorough schatz

Dr: The gel will be cold but you shouldn't have any pain. What trimester are you?

Luna: First trimester. Will you be able to find-

Dr: Don't worry, I've been doing this for a long time, just relax back for a sec

Dr: There we are. Now this machine can be buggy but I can see both of your boys. Congratulations, you're having twins

Devin: Twins?

Luna: Boys?

Devin: Will they be identical?

Dr: This technology can't tell unfortunately but you'll know when they get here

Luna: And they look okay? The right size?

Dr: Development looks normal for both. Now, have you thought about your birth plan?

Devin: We were busy just trying to get pregnant

Dr: No problem, take our information booklets and consider the options. Call us when you have an idea and we can get the ball rolling

Luna: Thank you

Dr: Happy to help

At breakfast the next morning the couple start to narrow down name ideas.

Devin: I would like a nod to some of the great artists in film

Luna: Such as

Devin: Cary, James, Clark, Alfred

Luna: I veto James, I knew a bad James

Devin: What names are in your head

Luna: Some literary names of course

Devin: Not Heathcliff

Luna: How about Edward

Devin: Not like Cullen right

Luna: No, like Rochester. Or we could pick a name from Narnia like Edmund

Devin: Didn't he fall for the white witch's trap?

Luna: He redeemed himself. Or there's Diggory, Caspian, Rilian

Devin: Puddleglum

Luna: OMG imagine

Luna: I'm craving something sweet

Devin: Pancakes aren't sweet

Luna: Blame the boys

Devin: Okay let's go

Luna: Go where

Devin: There's a small sweet shop by the park

The pair fetch some sweets for Luna but upon arriving home Luna is hit by nausea. Guess 7am chocolate cake isn't always the best idea?

9am sharp Devin reports to the studio for her guest role on Residency of the Heart. Once again it appears multiple groups are using the stages. Devin wastes no time getting into hair, makeup and costume as soon as she can. It appears they're not a requirement anymore but Devin takes her craft seriously.

All dressed up Devin goes to practice her lines with Anaya. Devin was paying extra attention to the hospital staff during the ultrasound appointment. TV drama may not be reality but Devin wants to do her best at appearing as a serious character instead of plain comic relief for the other actors.

Before filming starts Devin checks on Connor. Good thing she did as he is feeling very uncomfortable. Devin takes time to reassure him the blonde looks fine and that the audience won't think less of him for not sticking to his natural colour. A pep talk seems to be just what the doctor ordered.

The first scenes to shoot are the patient ones. Anaya and Devin steady themselves before springing into action. The patient Anaya is playing seems to be trouble and tries to refuse lifesaving treatment. Luckily Devin manages to outwit her objections and the treatment is delivered just in time.

Next up are the romance scenes with Connor. He's shaken off his uncomfortableness and is a great acting partner. The script has Devin as the instigator of the romance so she channels her most charming self. At the end she and Connor grab a quick selfie to celebrate a job well done.

The studio becomes hushed as Devin gathers herself for her character's death scene. She takes a deep breath, thinking of how she would feel to die before seeing her babies, and the guilt at leaving Luna alone. As she falls to the ground and waits to hear cut she is sure she hears a few sniffles.

Norah: CUT

Devin: Phew

Norah: That's a wrap everyone

Devin: Did I do okay?

Norah: You were a star today Devin, everyone was impressed

Devin: Thanks, good luck with the editing

When Devin arrives home she's on a high from a job well done. She decides to do a house expansion for Luna and their boys.

Devin takes care of some chores and works on upgrading the showers so they will break less often. Luna arrives home feeling super confident, as she should. Luna has been promoted and decides to go down the professor path. She loves learning and this feels like the best way to carry on.

Luna: What happened to our house

Devin: I expanded, we couldn't exactly fit twins before

Luna: Aww, look at our wedding photos

Devin: Are you crying

Luna: I'm hormonal okay

Devin: Understood. Do you like it

Luna: You gonna give me the tour

Devin: First stop is the bedroom

Luna: *giggles*

Devin: You have the vacation days

Luna: I know but I just got promoted

Devin: Exactly, they'll expect you to have time to celebrate

Luna: You know I'm a workaholic

Devin: But a baby shower would be a great chance to see everyone, we haven't seen your brothers since before Jacques died

Luna: Right

Luna: Hi, yes this is Mrs Villareal. I will need someone to cover my lecture tomorrow

Devin: Yes!

Luna: Yes the notes are all prepared and colour coded. Right in the middle of my desk.

Devin: You're so damn smart Lu

Luna: Shh! No, no, not you. You've been a great help. Thank you. Yes I'll rest up.

That evening Devin works on adding mobiles to the cribs while Luna stress bakes.

Devin: What are you making

Luna: Marshmallow squares, we need enough food for tomorrow

Devin: I don't think eating is a requirement for baby showers

Luna: I'm always hungry at the moment so how could it hurt?

The pair settle on the spare bed and Luna begins to read to the twins inside her

Devin: Lu the book is upside down

Luna: I know that and you know that but you don't have to tell them

Devin: *chuckles*

Luna: Once upon a time there was a mall dinosaur

Devin: Small

Luna: Right, upside down reading here

The women work their way through the book, taking turns to read aloud to their boys

Luna: They're going to love the voices you use

Devin: I hope so, they will be my harshest critics

Luna: They'll love you, hear that boys! You'll love your mama

Devin: *giggles* Their mummy needs sleep

Luna: I do I do
