i ship

[swatkat]

Dear Fandom,

When I read the Narnia books all those years ago and fell in love with the world and the characters, I had no idea that I ship Peter/Susan. Thank you for showing me the light.

Love,
Swatkat

Practical by musesfool (Peter/Susan implied, Lucy) God, this fic is so *gorgeous* and heartbreaking. *So* gorgeous. The Lucy POV is perfect, and touches me in a way I can’t explain. Read, and cry.

Boys and Lipsticks (Susan)
Delight (Edmund)
Through the Doors (Peter)
What She Found There (Lucy)

The characterisations in these stories are unlike anything I've ever read in Narnia, and you know what? They work. It's surprisingly dark, and after you're done reading you realise that that's the way it should be. Fairy tales are never as fluffy as they appear to be. Heartbreaking and beautiful in a shivery sort of way.

Five Weird Habits, because jaybee65 and msgenevieve told me to *g*:

I often hum to myself while walking on streets. With friends, this tends to turn to singing out loud (but not *very* loud. and only in less crowded places). With hand gestures. I'm sure people stare, but we don't particularly care.

I love tomatoes. If I could, I would have tomato-flavoured food all day. But I cannot *stand* raw tomatoes, and hate it when I have to eat it with salad (which I always do).

I can't concentrate when some song I love is playing. I just can't. If it's for setting a mood, I have to play it at least three or four times before I can stop paying attention to the song.

My days tend to begin with me telling myself, 'Get the fuck up, bitch'.

I love having a pen in my hand.

Everyone do this meme. It's a cool meme!

Yet another reason why we're friends. I adore that pairing, and only now that I've been totally corrupted by fandom that I realise that it's certainly not the worst pairing I could ship. *g*

Ah, but then we fall down on the tomatoes. I dislike cooked tomato unless it's in a sauce. Grilled tomatoes with breakfast? Get it away from me.

OMG you like it too? *squee*

*does her happy shipper dance*

You *must* read the fics I mentioned above - they're absolutely brilliant.

And yes, we could certainly be doing worse, lol!

Grilled tomatoes with breakfast?

Mmmmm. Grilled tomatoes.

Okay, we'll be overlooking this one - shipping is way more important that tomatoes.

Heh. I actually read all of those fics last night and loved them. *puts on her 'great minds think alike' badge* I was rather late getting to bed, to say the least.

I keep trying to imagine the reaction of my 14 yo self on being told that she would cry over incestous Narnia fanfic one day.

Narniacest. God, I love fandom!

[lirannutian.livejournal.com]

Oh God. You've made me give in to Narniacest, with these links.

I beg you, I need more! *makes big pleading eyes*

Ahaha. SCORE.

As for more recs - there's narnia_fic (which I found today), where I came across both Peter/Susan and Peter/Edmund. But I haven't read any, and can't seem to recognise any of the authors, either, so can't guarantee the quality. Hmm, then there's this (http://sloanesomething.livejournal.com/231663.html#cutid1) Edmund/Lucy by sloanesomething, which is pretty good, although I liked the other stories more. Lucy/Tumnus (http://devildoll.livejournal.com/687663.html) by devildoll, which is very, very good (although not incest). But good fic. Gorgeous Susan gen (http://kessie.livejournal.com/253392.html). Okay, not incest either. Look, Peter/Susan ficlet (http://kessie.livejournal.com/255057.html#cutid1) by the same author!

That's all I know, I'm afraid. Am always on the lookout for more, though. *g*
