See, I don't think that the Pevensie kids were uncanny and dangerous upon returning to England so much as just like. Cool weirdos.
Lucy talks to animals sometimes. She doesn't expect responses or anything; it has the same energy as a person talking to their dog, except it's the squirrel she spotted on the quad or the racoon in the garbage. But she's super friendly in general so after the initial "what the heck" everyone shrugs it off because like, yeah, of course she does. She also went with me to a scary doctor's appointment having known me for like five minutes and gave me an incredible pep talk. She's cool like that.
Peter joins the fencing club and day one it's like he's never held a foil in his life and day two he loses to a kid half his size but then after like a month he just absolutely annihilates the instructor. But he's super humble about it and afterwards he helps everyone else out without being condescending at all. And while it's a little weird that he's just Suddenly an expert, people are like, "he's a fast learner, that's cool." He's really industrious in class too, just Peter being Peter. He probably practiced a whole bunch after hours.
Edmund gets extremely weird food cravings sometimes, like "wow, I could really go for chicken liver with raisins right about now" or "you guys know what's great? Gooseberry trifles." And his friends say, "I've never heard of that before but it sounds weird." So Edmund learns to cook and starts making all these vaguely antiquated fancy dishes with weird berries and organ meats and things and shares them around during study breaks and everyone's like "Yo! Pevensie brought food. Cool, thanks Pevensie." And he shares it with everyone, even the kids nobody likes, and it kinda brings people together.
Susan, who was always the Mom Friend, seems to have gotten a power-up because now she Everyone's mom and weirdly people actually listen to her? But she only uses those powers for good. Girl in her dorm not eating enough? Susan's here with snacks and look at that now she's eating. Those guys arguing look like they're about to throw down? Susan says "knock it off" and glares and they do. And her friends are like, "how do you do it???" and she says "You just have to act like you expect to be obeyed." It's very cool, though it can be a bit Much sometimes.
And they're all into mythology now? Like ancient Rome and King Arthur and stuff? That's kinda weird, but not off-putting; lots of kids have mythology phases. And Peter named the tree outside his dorm, but everyone kinda laughs and says "yeah okay." Edmund is adamantly anti-bullying now, it's nice. Susan and Lucy wear a lot of lion-themed jewelry and people definitely Notice, but that just means that they start getting more of it for Christmas/birthdays.
And of course whenever two or more of them are together it's like they've got a conspiracy going on. They're always fervently whispering back and forth, giggling an the million inside jokes they've got, giving each other Looks. And onlookers are mostly just like, "Man, it's cool that those Pevensie kids are all so tight; I wish I was that close with my siblings."

thinking about how canonically the pevensie siblings are 13, 12, 10, and 8 in "the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe"
thinking about how lucy needed a stool to be able to get up onto her throne, how peter's sword is a little too large for him, how susan's bow is a little too difficult for her to pull back, how edmund's shield nearly covers his entire body.
thinking about the pevensie siblings and their first few months in narnia, getting to know their new people, and half the narnians sitting there horrified because WHAT have these literal babies been through to give them such traumatized, old eyes, and the other half of the narnians are preparing to adopt them, no it doesn't matter that they're the rules, they're children who are being put in charge of too many things, and if peter looks at the old man council long enough he's going to cry, so someone needs to give him paternal support while aslan is off doing Lion Jesus Stuff™️ and whoops oreius is being nice and encouraging and now he's adopted his kings and queens they're his kids now he doesn't make the rules.
just the narnians and the pevensies being thrown into it together, and just as the pevensies will do anything to protect their new kingdom, the narnians will do anything to protect their rules, because let's be honest, these children have no sense of self-preservation, and are far too overprotective of each other and their people to take into account their own safety, so a lot of battles it's just one of the pevensie siblings running headfirst into danger with oreius running after them because his kids are feral and don't know proper royalty manners and won't threatening old kings from different countries because they're being assholes and the last time one of them tried undermining the queens susan called him a self-righteous asshole and lucy tried to stab him SOMEONE help him corral his children please

something I really love about the Narnia movies is that all of the posters and film covers portray the Pevensies as incredibly serious and moody
when in reality they're four sarcastic beans who most of the time are arguing about silly things and who probably relish pranking each other a little too much

Y'know I find it incredibly ironic that in my Chronicles of Narnia fic series, an interesting inversion in fate (and character development) finds the most rebellious among the most devoted to restoring Aslan’s kingdom, while the most faithful fell the furthest. Edmund turns back at the tree and becomes a king of Narnia alongside Caspian, helping guide it into a new golden age and earning the title of the Once and Future King, while Lucy literally becomes an eldritch goddess and is implied to have straight up killed Aslan at some point. Edmund gets his redemption arc and then some, becoming one of the greatest kings in Narnian history, securing the legacy of Aslan, while Lucy, the most faithful, falls further than even Lucifer and ends up usurping God himself, not because she desires power, but because she sees the way that Aslan uses it as unjust.
And yet...both of them are doing this for the same reason. To be a champion of the downtrodden. To correct injustice. To secure themselves and their own kingdoms so that it can never be stolen from them again.
Gotta love some foils/parallels!

A long post about Rthstewart
Something @rovinglemon and I were talking about while facetiming and watching Prince Caspian - her on the TV and I on my ipad in my little dormroom - was how @rthstewart's Narnia series is what we believe as canon.
I've always felt a sense of detachment from Narnia, like I, as an autistic woman do not belong in that world. How easily my fate could become that of Susan's if my belief in Aslan so much as wavers an inch from the imaginary line Narnians must tread. I'm an atheist partly because of my own experiences and disbelief in the non-tangible. However, I do believe in ghosts and the paranormal because of fiction and my work on The Great War.
But reading @rthstewart's Stone Gryphon series and her side novels set during the golden age of Narnia made me feel like I could have a place within that world. @rovinglemon agrees, and we've discussed at length also how Rth's works take the existing canon and with the sheer mind-boggling level of detailed research she's done, makes Narnia something wholly alive. The world is not static because it is so completely tangible that I return to it time and time again. It's become how I relax after working on essays for my midterms and studying. Every time, without fail, I pick up the page or chapter that I'm on, and I am lost to the world around me. Her writing is so incredibly well written that it is often hours before I can be torn away from her stories. It is in her writing of Morgan especially that I find myself at home as an autistic person. Her mannerisms are similar to mine and Rth's evident care and research in writing Morgan's character as an autistic person shines through so well that I have yet, and doubt that I will find any fault in her portrayal, which is something so many altistic writers struggle with, especially headliners such as Mark Haddon either flat-out ignore, or attempt to rationalize their grevious misdeeds behind the NYT's Bestseller list.
Rth's writing of the Four also must be commended. RL mentioned on our call about how Peter's intelligence as shown through Rth's writing is a different kind to Edmund's or Susan's. Sword (in the Rat and Crow code), is less about the boy-against-boy blindsided idiocy that Prince Caspian sets front and center stage, and instead makes the Four - Sword, Rat, Crow, and Heart, into people fundamentally struggling to survive in a world that will never understand them. Their maturity in the bodies of children sets them apart, and it shows in the best of ways, whether they reign as Kings and Queens, or exist in what I call their "English Exile," that they are flawed people who question Aslan's greater plan, but are fundamentally trying to make the world both a better place and answer to the creed as Friends of Narnia.
So to @rthstewart, I raise my glass to you, and look forward to whatever next you plan to be writing.

What if time on Earth passed faster than on Narnia? What if we were almost a hundred years into the future and only five years passed in Narnia? (part 1)
That is why you woke up in a cold sweat, lying on a strange bed. That is why you met a King, and then it would be time to meet the other one, and the Queens.
'My brother and sisters,' the King says, pointing at the thrones. 'King Edmund, Queen Susan, Queen Lucy.'
'Four monarchs for the same country?' you ask. 'What kind of monarchy is that?'
He lets himself release a little laugh. He is definitely a teenager, a guy your age. He doesn't look old enough to shave; your classmates would not even seem that young next to him. Who let this kid rule?
'Monarchy in Narnia is nothing like monarchy in Earth,' he explains.
He wears Medieval-like clothes and a crown. But there is something else -- something in his manners, in his voice, in his movements -- that makes it evident that he's nothing like the kids you've met, or even nothing like you. He inspires respect. His blue eyes seem calm, wise, deep. You suspect that the bags below them have not formed because of staring at a cell phone till 3 am or because of finishing an assignment the night before the deadline.
As you both continue to stroll around the palace, his answers only lead to more questions of your part. You're thankful that he considered you might need the fresh air for when he explained what was going on. Standing on a balcony, you glance down to find a sea of waters so much cleaner than you'd ever see back home.
'Why do you think I got here?' You ask. The waves go up and down with soothing peace, almost welcoming. 'Did something bring me here?'
'I believe so,' he says. 'My siblings and I were brought here. There was a prophecy about us, and when we followed the youngest one into the wardrobe, it was time to fulfil it.'
From below the surface of the clean sea, you catch a glympse of colorful creatures. As they get closer to the cliff, you realize they are too large to be fish. When they take their heads out, their human heads, you lift your eyebrows.
The King next to you smiles. 'There are the most wonderful creatures in Narnia. You wouldn't believe your eyes.'
Author's note:
I had so much fun writing part 1, that I decided to keep on writing!
I'm planning on making more scenes of this story, so, from now, I'll use the "narnia ages slower au" tag for it (at least until I find a better name for it).
If you find any grammar mistakes, or errors of whatever nature, please make it known to me! I'm not a native English speaker, so I apologize if the mistakes distract you from reading, but I appreatiate and value constructive criticism.
Thanks for reading!

at twenty, jane reads her very first full length novel, without a dictionary beside her to look up words, or needing to ask about certain phrases. the book is the chronicles of narnia, the lion the witch and the wardrobe. she’d seen the last half hour of the original miniseries on television, thought the effects were wonderful and loved the idea of a majestic talking lion. the battle between good and evil struck a close core, and she immediately became enthralled with the story. the following day she goes to hawkins library to borrow the book, only to discover there are multiple in the series. a little overwhelmed, because while they’re not big books by any means, all of them combined is still daunting. nevertheless, she takes out the book and gets through it very slowly, but ever surely. peter is her favourite character, and the quote: peter did not feel very brave; indeed, he felt he was going to be sick. but that made no difference to what he had to do, sticks with her forever. because if a young, magnificent king could overcome his fears and commit to his responsibilities, and come out stronger than ever, then so could jane!

Susan and Lucy have definitely done that thing where two girls braid their different-colored hair together in one braid tho
Tumblr media
Peter had to be called in to undo it and separate them. Edmund chuckled in the background.

the   pevensies   were   pretty   much   orphans   the   second   they   stepped   foot   into   the   wardrobe.   with   no   family   around   but   each   other   till   they   were   fully   grown   individuals   when   they   returned,   peter   and   susan   had   to   look   out   for   each   other   while   raising   edmund,   and   specially   lucy,   at   the   same   time.   and   it   wasn't   like   when   they   were   at   home   and   their   responsibility   was   to   only   watch   over   the   two   whenever   mum   and   dad   weren't   around,   no.   peter   and   susan   RAISED   her.   they   had   to   be   big   siblings   just   as   well   as   they   had   to   be   parents   for   her.   that   isn't   the   sort   of   bond,   of   attachment   that   wears   out   easily,   if   ever.   growing   up,   what   lucy   felt   for   them   was   a   level   of   trust,   neediness   and   dependency   that   a   child   can   only   feel   for   a   parent.   when   she   was   scared,   only   they   could   soothe   her   worries.   when   she   was   hurt,   it   was   only   their   comfort   that   she   craved.   and   traces   of   both   of   them   can   be   found   in   her,   as   they   were   such   a   significant   part   of   her   upbringing.   the   way   she   delicately   tilts   her   head   to   the   side   as   a   way   to   move   her   hair   out   of   her   eyes,   like   susan.   she   grew   up   reading   anything   and   everything   susan   recommended   to   her,   they   shared   the   same   taste   in   art,   literature   and   sometimes,   even   music.   every   other   time,   they   could   be   spotted   wearing   somewhat   matching   dresses   (   whether   it   was   in   the   color   scheme   or   pattern   ),   and   similar   hairstyles.   when   lucy   smiles,   she   smiles   with   her   eyes,   just   like   susan   used   to   do   in   the   golden   age.
but   lucy   in   a   battlefield   is   peter   through   and   through.   swift   and   precise   movements   that   she   picked   up   from   him   when   he   taught   her   how   to   be   the   last   one   standing,   if   she   ever   needed   to   be.   when   she   speaks,   wise   and   mighty,   it   is   his   tone   that   their   subjects   hear   in   her   voice,   and   lucy   never   has   to   say   anything   twice.   whenever   one   wasn't   feeling   very   brave,   the   other   was   always   there   to   pick   them   up.   they   relied   on   each   other   for   strength,   for   advice,   for   faith.   lucy   feels   as   though   peter   is   an   extension   of   her   very   soul,   looking   into   his   eyes   is   like   looking   into   a   mirror   and   staring   at   her   own   reflexion.
they   raised   her.   and   when   the   four   are   forced   back   into   the   wardrobe,   back   to   a   world   and   parents   lucy   does   not   remember,   it   is   so   terribly   noticeable   that   she   does   not   recognize   helen   as   mother   and   authority   figure   any   longer.   she's   a   grown   woman   now,   stuck   into   the   body   of   an   eight   year   old,   and   even   the   way   she   sees   peter   and   susan   changes.   from   big   siblings   to   parents   back   to   siblings.   edmund   might   be,   perhaps,   the   one   who   feels   the   most   similar   then.   it's   why   she   sticks   by   him   the   most   until   they're   back   in   narnia   and.   .   .   they   are   oh   so   complicated.

What d'you reckon? Would the kings and queens have lain wide awake all night, after they were thrown back into England and all the maturity shaken out of them in an instant and one bone-jarring fall? Would they have tested their new size again carefully, trying to remember what was important to them a lifetime ago? Would they have hidden in the wardrobe again for hours before they ever came out, because they couldn't trust their bodies again? Would they have slept at last, tired tearstained faces close to each other, and dreamed vivid dreams of the life they used to know? What d'you reckon? Would they have come out unscathed? I don't think so.
