okay, well, this is going to be ridiculous and embarrassing but we already knew that.

- alarming some of the props people - firstly: LOL.
- Ben is clutching at his leg, sort of bent over. - well, this was the first time I went a bit wrong.
- except Skandar of course, who is panicking. - I LOVE how you wrote Skandar in this fic. Sort of mess of panic about hurting Ben and then just alllll the apologies, and how teenage boy he was (all the swearing! He won't think Ben's a pussy! Don't be a dick! it was perfect) and then in juxtaposition, how self-assured he was when it came to the Things (oh benito).
- Skandar trying to magically cure the pain with his hands!
- Ben dropping to the floor the second time. jsdbfhjg
- giving Skandar a very strained, tight-lipped grin. His eyes are watering. Skandar hates himself. - well I think you know how well I coped with that. NOT AT ALL WELL. gnnng

I WISH YOU COULD SEE MY SMILE. I REALLY DO. IT IS LIKE THIS:

:D

I LOVE YOU AND I AM SO GLAD THAT YOU LIKED THIS. Honestly it's the one that stressed me out the most, of my recent stories, and I WAS WORRIED MAYBE I WOULD LET YOU DOWN IDK. I'm glad I didn't and thaaaaaank you for the comment, seriously grinning like a maniac.

I won't go through every single thing you said, but, typical teenage boy-esque Skandar was especially easy to write with Ben for some reason, that characterisation seemed to work, I'm glad you liked it in general and it didn't seem to jump about too much. And Ben's characterisation too - I actually think he and Skandar are my two favourite POVs to write from, so idk why this was so hard. Maybe the combination of the two. But yes WRITING BEN IS FUN I'm glad you like my Ben(s)?

The image of the condensation on Ben's beard made me go a bit flaily too, I'm not sure why either.

Michael turning up like LOOK A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL, CEASE YOUR INEXPERT MEDICINE/SEXUAL ADVANCES SKANDAR KEYNESHAHAHAHA for real this bit

- feeling quite proud of the authoritative tone he manages to take on. Of course, then he tries to help Skandar to his feet and is overpowered by a fourteen year old girl. - BENITO, HOW SO A+
-Ben with his muscles and his tanned skin and his tallness, and his beard, and his smile - correct
- pent-up sexual frustration/slamming him into the ground, yep, still amazing
- Ben having a brief BUT HE'S TEN YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME was brilliant. I liked how he was like EVEN THOUGH I NORMALLY DON'T NOTICE.
- Skandar sits on the bed, looking at him expectantly, and Ben's thoughts go swimmy. - BENITO.
- the I-feel-terrible-please-stop-asking voice! I loved that line.
-"It's okay with me," Skandar says, looking somewhat doubtful, "I just don't think you're going to like it. - HNNNNNNNNG. HNG HNG HNG.
- the way Skandar just lets him
- His eyes flicker up to Skandar's once again, and he can't imagine what his face must look like. this and Ben's hand shaking basicles splammed me rather an embarrassing amount, jsyk

♥ Yay thank you!! The movie made it sooooo easy to ship them - both Ben/Skandar and Caspian/Ed.

I really do not understand why they've split them up that way for the press, unless it's because Ben is doing his at different times because of the play. It seems really odd, and unfair because he did most of it on his own for Prince Caspian too. I WANT TO SEE HIM INTERACT WITH THE OTHERS MORE.

I understand your loyalty - I still ship Will/Skandar of course, they're my absolute Narnia OTP, but there are soooo many possibilities in this fandom that it's just too tempting to play around with them. XD

Re: OMG I DON'T HAVE A BENITO ICON!!

[likecharity]

Guhh I have no complaints if you're using that icon. XD

I'M GLAD I'M WRITING AGAIN TOO. ♥

Oh man, the Skan/Ben on the Prince Caspian commentary was amaaazing. All their constant complimenting. I feel like they're bound to do another commentary this time around, and they wouldn't do it if they couldn't all be there, I don't think. *crosses fingers* Hopefully there'll be some cute behind the scenes stuff on the DVD too.

:D

SO MUCH :D

This was such a great read, omg. I LOVE THEMMMMM.

[likecharity]

Yayy, thank you!

[sarah_the_crab]

Oh, man. You totally just made my year with this. I'm not gonna lie the older/younger aspect of Ben and Skandar totally does it for me. (YES! SPECIAL HELL! XD )

But, guh, this was so good. I'm going to sacrifice something in the hopes you'll write more. :D

[likecharity]

Aw yay!! I'm so glad. :D (Also, ditto.)

Thank youuu. I don't have any proper plans but I do hope to write them more in the future.

You know, this is the first time ever I've posted something to LJ and I had to do it after I read this story.
But in short this was one of the finest Ben/Skandar that I've read, and I've been reading Narnia RPF since LWW came out.
Ben's interactions with Skandar was so great, and the little interaction the two boys had with Georgie were hilairious. Georgie had a protective fury about her that was very convincing.
Write more incredible stories, epecially more Ben/Skandar, and Ben/Georgie (I love your stories about these two!), and even a Ben/Skandar/Georgie, maybe even with Will P. :)

[likecharity]

Aw, thank you so much! That really means a lot. ♥

Ben/Skandar/Georgie/(Will P?) is definitely tempting...
