Recipient: wingedflight21
Rating: K+/PG
Possible Spoilers/Warnings: Crackfic! Cross-over madness. No warnings; minor plot and character spoilers for the following: Voyage of the Dawn Treader ; Artemis Fowl series; Thursday Next series; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; BBC’s Merlin Series 3-4; Series 4, Doctor Who (10th Doctor and Donna Noble); Warehouse 13 (minor plot hints from The Big Snag and The Sky’s The Limit); The Hobbit (film 2012; character spoilers); The Lord of the Rings (book). (Also there are nods to Struthious’ Oi, None of Your, a Donna Noble AU and another favorite Narnia fic).
Summary: From The Time and Space Traveler’s Guide, Entry for Coriakin’s Island, V 2.0:
Should your journey to or from Aslan’s Country (excellent food and top notch accommodation – see entry for Aslan’s Country above) or the Sweet Sea (delicious but be sure to brush your teeth after partaking to prevent decay!) take you through the Eastern Sea, you will find there are few places in the archipelagos worth the bother of leaving the time stream. No establishments offer notable refreshment, sights, or entertainment. Some of the Islands are very dangerous whilst offering no commensurate excitement and are best avoided entirely. (See entries for Dark Island, Lone Islands, Deathwater below). As for Coriakin’s Island, do not be lulled by the prospect of the pleasant greenery, homely house, and fine, sandy and pristine beaches. The magician who lives there is a cantankerous coot with a habit of giving uninvited guests extra appendages or turning them into a squid. AVOID.
