Reposting Comment Fic, Give the Pevensies A Friend

[rthstewart]

The following comment fics happened when I spammed the LJ of the lovely animus_wyrmis .  I realized after posting l_a_r_m  's birthday fic that I should probably move these all over here, in one place.  There are more over in Animus' LJ, but here is the gist of my own deplorable hijacking of the thread with discussion of the friends of the Friends of Narnia.  I

Thanks! some of this I will be using. Not sure when, but it won't go to waste! And I think I missed one... or something. I forget just where I've put everything!

I really love Polly and Richard there, calling each other "Goat" and "Bird". So fun.

These are all excellent, really. Very cool.

[rthstewart]

I really like writing them together - the two older folks with a very mature relationship. Polly is so much fun especially.

Oh, please tell me we'll get to see Alice and Lucy at school sometime in TSG! And Goat and Bird, how endearing... As always, it's sheer pleasure to read anything you write, so thanks for sharing! -Syrena, who really should stop trailing after your thread-crumbs and go to sleep

[rthstewart]

Thank you, Syrena! Have we met before? I ADORED this Alice and yes, she will make an appearance. Richard and Polly refer to each other as Goat and Bird in Part 1 and it's always fun to trot that out!

[anonymous]

Nope, we haven't met--well, I've left a comment or two on FF, always under this name, but I'm afraid my reviewing has been quite lax, though I never miss an update! So glad to hear that Alice will show up! And I have to wonder... what does Diggory think of Goat and Bird? I can picture Mary just accepting it without batting an eye (though not to the point of intruding so far as to adopt the nicknames herself), but is that one of those thigns Diggory carefully ignores, or does he find it as amusing as I do?

I am so glad to read all of these little bits and pieces that we may or may not see in your actual stories. It's so nice to just get these glimpses, fill in small bits of information that help complete the characterizations you've already established. I particularly loved the conversation between Polly and Digory - how often do we get to see Digory being sweet, of all things, or Polly being so uncertain of herself? I love seeing that little bit of vulnerability in each of them, and thereby understanding just a little better how their friendship has functioned for so many years

[rthstewart]

Thank you! I had forgotten I'd done that Polly and Digory one! A lot of this you see more of in Apostolic Way, so I'll leave it at that for now. Alice has just made an oblique appearance for instance and Peter's characterization here is a very strong indicator of where I see him going as well.

I've never gotten over Jo choosing the skeevy Professor. I always wanted Laurie. Meh. But, I could very easily see Susan thinking that Laurie would be a bad combination with Jo. In fact, I have her writing Agnes in AW that Heathcliff is not the least bit romantic either. This is actually an interesting question... would Rabadash make Susan more cautious going forward? Or, does it indicate a continuing flaw -- that she is always attracted to the "bad boy."

[harmony_lover]

Hmm... I might have to accuse Susan of being inconsistent. I don't see Laurie as a "bad boy," for all he's a bit hot-tempered, and he's apparently not romantic. Then Heathcliffe is "not romantic," and he is absolutely a bad boy in some ways! (In many ways, really. I can't stand the man.) So what, precisely, is Susan looking for? Of course, your answer would be the human version of Lambert, but seeing as that's apparently not possible - does Susan have a "type?" For that matter, Tebbitt, for all of his flaws, isn't exactly a "bad boy" either, though he certainly has some of the attributes of one. Hmmm...

Roaming around live journal. Like these I learnt something new Lucy and her campaign against the priest Susan and Agnes nobody should get in Susan way and had a good laugh about Richard and
Polly. Now where did I put my copy of Kuma Sutra.
