( Annals of Kings )

Original Prompt:
What I want: The main thing is Edmund as the diplomat king, maybe involving Archenland or Calormene politics, or perhaps something during Voyage of the Dawn Treader - whatever scenario works for the author best. I generally read gen for this fandom, but I like Edmund/Caspian if you're a slash fan.
Prompt words/objects/quotes/whatever: "The art of letting other people achieve your ends", spy games, for the greater good.
What I definitely don't want in my fic: Fluffy incest.
