You can picture movie!verse Peter and Caspian having angry!sex or rival!sex but there’s no romantic storyline there. The only potential there is for one night stands and they hardly have *time* for that. But Caspian/Edmund provides us with an opportunity for one of those great stories where all the plot points can also be read as moments along a romantic timeline. In such a way that you realize if the author had been inclined to do so he could have made them gay and it would slide easily into the plot, and only knowing he probably wouldn’t prevents you from suspecting it was on purpose. Peter and Caspian is kinda hot but Caspian/Edmund is a
romance, a coming of age love story that involves clothes sharing, bondage (sadly though, not with each other), power struggles, reconciling with a relative who doesn't like your lifestyle or your friends, and ultimately being dumped for some chick who lives on a magic island because it's time for both of you to move on to your real lives.
ETA: Also, they are a Narnia slash pairing with major characters that is human/human and *not* incest. So if you don't like incest, that's a good pairing choice.
( Huhh. )I've decided to mak September "Finish Your Fics Month". I will finish the three fics I've been promising to do, and then the minute I'm done that it's back to real work.
