Chpt. 7
A/N: This was essentially written in two days--the first draft of the chapter got deleted, then I wrote one bit, left it for a really long time, and wrote the rest of it today. So. When I actually, you know, get down to it, I finish chapters fast. But community college might make that a bit hard, so consider yourself warned, because school is going strong and distracting.

She's long since abandoned childish fantasies, but her recent dreams of a great lion give her comfort where nothing else does. And then she is catapulted into Narnia again; but a very, very different Narnia indeed.

The last chapter was basically where my detail-planning ended; I have plot lines basically ironed out from the beginning, but specifics peter off from here on out. So! Enjoy: the speed of the chapter will also be more trickle-ish, especially since school is starting up soon.

Further chapter will also hopefully be longer.

The book actually called the Professor--Caspian's tutor--Doctor Cornelius, but since I'm blatantly mixing and matching canons with a heavy inclination toward movie, I blended them.

I tried plotting out the story, but eventually gave up when I realized it was mutating as I wrote it. So, no final number of chapters.

One more chapter until they meet, ladies and gentlemen.

This is a Susan/Caspian fic--though he isn't even in it yet. I'd appreciate feedback, and by the next chapter I should have mapped out enough to give an estimate of final number of chapters.

The cascade of delays in the filming of Voyage of the Dawn Treader makes me grumpy, despite the fact that it's old news and for a very understandable and fair reason--making allowances for the young actors' schedules--and it still wouldn't have been out for a couple of years anyway.

I can be unreasonably grumpy, can't I? As long as I don't spill it over anybody else, I don't see it as a problem.

But you know what, damn it, the one thing I regret about Susan/Caspian is that I won't be able to enjoy the canon romance, since I'm such a yippy little bulldog of a shipper. I love Anna Popplewell hugely awesomely much and think she's talented and intelligent (and don't forget sorta badass. or completely gorgeous, don't forget those) and more to the point for the movie love Susan with all my weaselly little heart and I loved Ben Barnes in Stardust, and yum, together. And then what I actually got was wonderful. Also, guys? Why am I pretending I need some vestige of logic?

BUT SERIOUSLY: the movie has to flesh out the canon romance because honestly, after they gave us the glimpse mutual respect, fascination and admiration Susan and Caspian had, they are not going to saddle us with his marriage to a woman we know only as Ramandu's daughter because she's pretty and blonde.

Just no. Ok? No.

So. I finally watched Prince Caspian last night.

Um. First of all, these movies and books will always and unequivocably be some, if not the absolute pinnacle, of my favorite and most important books/movies. They have a lot of really, really personal value to me. omg don't mock So any critique on anything other than a severely shallow level just isn't there.

This doesn't mean I don't wish Susan a better fate, or recognize the reeeally Christian allegory, but that's okay. And besides, C.S. Lewis was a twit to Susan, but he said she went to Narnia as well after she died so I can rest easy.


Anyway! I was actually very glad they cast Ben Barnes as Caspian, blondness or no (and not only because oh, oh, he is eye candy) because come on, one valiant, noble, golden haired little prince against all those terrible, treacherous, swarthy Telmarines. UM-HUM. (I thought Ben Barnes was absolutely delicious, and then I learned he based his accent off of Inigo Montoya and fell in love. Or, you know, as close as one can get never having met the person.)

I was really looking forward to the whole running-through-the-streets-with-Aslan part and returning life to the land, but I suppose I see why they couldn't. And I liked that they made the Telmarines people.

I didn't expect to like Susan/Caspian as much as I did! And not only because I have major bubbling crushes on both actors. She's the High Queen, but much more practical, fiercely capable, intelligent and totally hot than he expected! He's an honorable prince fighting for her kingdom against his upbringing, and totally sweet and delicious on top of it! 'Shipped. Also, I'm glad she got a little more joy out of this visit to Narnia than she seemed to in the books. Bittersweet, but still there.

I expected to love the kiss, but OMG forget the kiss, the hug. The hug! People don't hug enough in movies, damnit! It just--it feels more sincere to me, more real, than just locking lips. More like a connection.

I see what Lili meant about the hubris, for sure. And I'm kind of glad I read her review before watching it.
