Unexpected Love: Chapter 4

[zelda_queen]

ZeldaQueen: Okay. There's only two more chapters to this thing unless the Suethor updates, so let's get crackin'!

Oh, and if you thought Aslan heading the Sue's wedding was disrespectful...I'm really sorry

WHAT! SERIOUSLY WHAT! I...WHAT!

Ok. I'm ok.
...
No I'm not.
Just...no. Why would Aslan do that? He said that Peter and Susan's time in Narnia was over. Why would he suddenly change his mind? Anyway, what about the timeline? How much time has passes for the Pevensie children? What about their parents? Buh?

This completly goes against canon. In the books, those who get to Narnia (apart from those who stumble in, like the Telmarines) are supposed to be there to serve a purpose, but then they are immediatley returned to their proper place. Aslan wouldn't just remove them from our world because he wanted to!

Although, I really hope that this means that Peter starts running things, just to spite the Sue. He is the High King after all.

"In the books, those who get to Narnia (apart from those who stumble in, like the Telmarines) are supposed to be there to serve a purpose, but then they are immediatley returned to their proper place."

Or unless they died. That's why they're allowed to stay forever in Narnia at the end - they died in the real world.

"Although, I really hope that this means that Peter starts running things, just to spite the Sue. He is the High King after all"

I'd love to think that. ^_^

I barely remember the books themselves anymore because it's been so long--all I do remember is that I stopped reading when I found out Peter and Susan weren't going to come back (Peter was my favorite, and unfortunately I just never got back).

But...sorry for any typos I seem to have developed a serious tic in the neck when I think about what just happened up there.

Also, Peter should totally take over again, since you know the Sue has so warped Caspian that nothing is actually getting done...but then...oh dear, I seem to have made myself ill: do you think whatshername would suddenly 'discover' she wasn't actually a sibling at all?

Shudder.

Uh, anyway....innocuous: What's up with the "exactly 5 years later", if she's immediately going to skip three months. WhY?

[zelda_queen]

"What's up with the 'exactly 5 years later', if she's immediately going to skip three months. WhY?"

Because the Suethor enjoys her time jumps? I really don't know.

Okay, I know next to nothing about royalty, and customs when greeting royalty, but...shouldn't the proper way of doing this be to address them both and say "The Queen has guests."

Better still...

A footman entered the room, and with a look of awe, boomed: "High King Peter the Magnificent, Emperor of the Lone Islands, Lord of Cair Paravel, and Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Lion!"

Then he took a deep breath and went on: "King Edmund the Just, Duke of Lantern Waste and Count of the Western March, Knight of the Noble Order of the Table!"

Anne was already reeling, but the footman was still announcing: "Queen Susan the Gentle, and Queen Lucy the Valiant!"

...Oh yes, they can haz titlez.

[zelda_queen]

Oh heck yeah! I can just see the Sue's mouth hanging open! XD

Actually, I didn't get a chance to put it in the sporking, but it was stupid that they just came in like that. These are the kings and queens from legend, who saved Narnia twice. There should be cheering in the streets! After all, it was only five years after they stopped the Telmarines.

[parrinoyed]

That would be so awesome! I loves it :D

[lurkythespork]

...

HARG--Wait, you already said it.

Anyway, erm, no notice of how different Anne looks, now that she's aged five years and they haven't? No notice of how the Pevensies DON'T look any different?

No shock there at all?

And BY ALL THAT IS HOLY, what is going to happen to Eustace and Jill in this perversion of canon?! Eustace, thank you, happens to be one of my favorite characters, and his time on the Dawn Treader is what changes him from an arrogant little worldling into a hero. Jill only enters Narnia because of Eustace!

How is Reepicheep ever going to make it to the Edge of the World if Caspian doesn't set sail to reclaim the Narnian islands?!

I know Anne must have read at least The Silver Chair, or else she wouldn't know Rilian's name to use it! And she would have known that Caspian was an OLD man when Rilian was 20-ish, so this totally, TOTALLY skews the timeline so far out of whack that I DON'T EVEN!

AT ALL!

NOT A BIT!

[zelda_queen]

I honestly think the Suethor has forgotten how time in Narnia works different than time in our world. Otherwise, we can only assume that the Pevensies were dropped onto that train and two seconds later were whisked back.

I really don't know what's up with Eustace and Jill. By canon (a novel concept to the Suethor, I know), Rilan's mother was killed by the serpent when he was twenty. So the only way I can see it working is if Caspian goes on the Voyage of the Dawn Treader while Rilan's still a child. If memory serves, the voyage didn't take years and years, so it's possible. Of course, that still leaves the implication that Anne will be killed by the serpent, instead of Ramandu's daughter... XD

[yemi_hikari]

Actually, I think the Suethor HASN'T read the books.

[zelda_queen]

Normally I'd agree, but Lurky's right. The fact that she knows who Rilan is would imply that she's at least read the Silver Chair. Other than that, I can only guess that she was on some forum or something and heard about who Caspian's canon son was.

And the movies aren't a valid excuse for not knowing about Narnia time, because all three clearly have the children coming back at about the same time. TLTWATW even follows the book in having the kids grow up and return home as children.

[erikalyndis]

I'd like to think that Jill is on her way to Narnia RIGHT NOW to beat the crap out of this Sue.

It's... pretty much the only thing that stopping me from ragesploding.

[lurkythespork]

Beat her with a riding crop! (Because it just isn't appropriate to beat her with the flat of a sword, dontcha know?)

[zelda_queen]

I'd wager that Jill could take on Anne with just her fists, if need be. Of course, a warrior of Narnia wouldn't sully her hands like that, so I'd go with the riding crop as well. XD

[erikalyndis]

oh yessssssss ^_^

[emmram]

Hee. Did you notice that at first she says she's expecting her second child in 4 months and then later on says she's exactly 8 months pregnant?

A 12 month gestational period. Clearly, a subtle hint that Anne is an evil alien mutant who has no business being there.

[zelda_queen]

Actually no, she said it was four months until she'd give birth, then there was a random three-month time jump, which would put her at one month until she'd give birth.

Still, that doesn't refute your theory of her being an alien mutant.
