Jan 16, 2011 14:34

For l_a_r_m on her birthday. Birthday fic! The first part some of you might recall from the Give the Pevensies a friend commentfic. This expands it a little bit. Years and timing and dates are wrong wrong wrong. Also, I borrow heavily from the ideas of John LeCarre's Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. The ideas are, in sum and substance, his. I've just ( Read more... )

I love Susan in her old age, grown into all her powers.

(And, ahahaha, I amuse myself imagining her as Bond's M, eventually, who would find his attempts at bucking authority adorable.)

I HAD the SAME idea. Especially the Judy Dench M in the Daniel Craig Bond. I recently saw parts of it when I was sweating on the treadmill and thought ZOMG, it's SUSAN. Well, and Emma Peel. This is very weak of me but I am seeing in this developing characterization both women. In fact, I was totally planning on giving Susan a nifty little MG convertible just like Emma had (I couldn't resist and gave her little gun). The initial inspiration of course is poor Connie Sachs, but Susan Caspian nee Pevensie is no Connie Sachs any more than the Col. (retired) is George Smiley and Tebbitt is not Jim Ellis. But, it was fun to do an xover/AU to my own fic.

Squee!! Loved this, it is pure love! To tell you the many things I liked would require me to quote the entire thing back to you.

I loved how Shep "told" Susan his likes and dislikes of travel. I could actually picture the wolfhound speaking to her as if it had been Lambert or Briony instead. Susan, the Glenlivet, the fancy hotel and car... I highly approve! A Queen such as she is should travel in style, you know.

And it really is strange to hear her calling him by his real name. Especially since he still calls her Mrs Caspian (as does Sallowpad), even though she was "retired". Some things never change, such as her archery skills.

Niece and nephew? Ohhhhh.... hypothetically speaking, whose children were they? I want to say Edmund, considering it IS Rat and Crow we are discussing.

This is AU and LARM's birthday fic and she's the one who is very fond of illegitimate children all over the place. As said, this is not TSG compliant. That line was put in for her ( ... )

Dark territory, definitely. Deservedly dark. I hope Susan finds the mole.

Thanks for writing!

rthstewart January 16 2011, 22:55:11 UTC

It hadn't occured to me, but yes, it is dark isn't it? Thanks so much!

Oooh brilliant! I love how dark this is, and poor, poor Reg! All the details are so fantastic, as always. Archery! Scars from interrogation! Niece and nephew! Wonderful, wonderful!

Thanks! See above to Autumnia for further ramblings on the subject of AU fic offspring. I NEVER shut up.
