girl!Ed is awesome.
One of the (many) great things about the Three Sentence Fic-a-thon is that you get to write things you never dreamed you'd write. Like girl!Edmund, who, by the joint writings of me and grim_lupine (mostly her), has turned into a very dynamic character, who I love with all my heart. Here's the four fics I've written so far. (If you want to read all the ones Nikki have written go here)
Chronicles of Narnia, girl!Ed/Susan/Peter, die for my country
Susan did not know the language of war, not like Peter who was born with it in his blood, and not like Ed who could speak it, no matter what country she was in (and not like Lucy who was stumbling her way to understanding it too.) Susan was more than willing to die for her country, (but not on the battlefield, not in a pool of blood) but she walked on nails every time Ed and Peter rode out to war, and when Lucy started to ask to come too, she had to bite her tongue so she didn't down right forbid it. Susan did not know the language of war, but Peter and Ed did; Susan did not know the language of violence, but she did know the language of diplomacy and politics; (Susan was more than willing to die for her country, but she didn't have too, not yet anyway.)

Narnia, girl!Ed, blood-red nails and lips, doll-face and brilliant mind
The Dark Queen, girl!Ed, pg
They called her the Dark Queen, the Lady of Shadows and the Puppet Mistress; she didn't mind- she might have started one or two of the most rapid rumours- she wears bold colours like blood red and deep forest green and always makes sure to have a knife visible at her waist (she had numerous of other weapons stashed around her body, but where, was for her to know and others to find out right before it was jammed up against their throat.)
She looked dangerous, but men always underestimated her because of her big dark eyes and small lithe frame; she knew how to turn everything into her advantage and ruled Narnia's underworld with an iron-fist; no man was unknown to her.
The Dark Queen would do anything to defend her country, anything to keep her family safe and she'd stop at nothing to keep her brother from harm (What she did might be shady, but someone had to do it- and there was no way in hell she would let Lucy do it; it was either Lucy or Ed, and Ed was already tainted.)
**
Narnia, girl!Ed/Peter, she belongs to Narnia but mostly she belongs to Peter
For every ten suitors that came for Susan, three came for Lucy and one came for Ed.
She always said no without a second glance at the man, be he a duke or king; (she wasn't as graceful as Susan or as nice as Lucy with her declines, once she actually bared her teeth and told him to bugger off) when asked why she always replied that she belonged to Narnia and that no man could charm her away from her beloved country.
This was true, off course, but the main reason was Peter; Ed could never leave Peter (for a man) even if she tried- she belonged to Narnia (for Narnia is home) because Peter is Narnia's High King and wherever Peter is, that's the place she belongs (Peter is home).
**
Narnia, girl!Ed, turkish delight
She still craved it, after all these years; Peter made sure that there was no Turkish Delight to be found in all of Narnia, it was banned as devil food and for that Ed was grateful; she wasn't sure if she was strong enough to resist.
Not that anything bad would happen if she did eat the sweet, but the memories cut her like a knife and she wanted to be stronger than this, stronger than Her, and by denying herself her favorite sweet, Ed did, in a small way.
But seeing it decked out here in the Tisroc's palace; with Susan dancing and laughing with a man she did not approve of; with Lucy at home and Peter off fighting the giants; Ed wavered- reaching out (just one piece) before a cold wind blew through the room (strange; there weren't many cold winds in Calormen) and she snapped out of the trance and grabbed an apple instead.
If we are going to talk about the bad things about Three Sentence Fic-a-thon, then that's totally the fact that it's shooting my grammar to hell. I have to keep reminding myself that I am allowed to used periods when writing other things.
