- RILLIAN’S GRIEF MANAGEMENT LEADING HIM TO DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM. Oh my gosh, I love how this shows a window into why it’s so easy to corrupt this little lost boy and how the men around him are NOT HELPING HIM AT ALL. ;_______; - I REALLY LOVE ALL THE TRANSLATIONS AND HOW LOLZY THEY ARE. Oh the hilariousness of Edmund/Jadis misinterpreted. I ADORE IT. - The bit where he’s OH SO IRONICALLY sketching the black knight and the lady in green, my eyes turned into GIANT HEARTS. - I ALSO LOVE how Edmund is the Black Knight of legend. - “Well, then! Should I put her on the Dawn Treader and hope that the worms have left something of her by the time I reach her father’s island?” OH BREAK MY HEART. - ”King Edmund seems to spend a lot of time talking about his mistress” SO MUCH LOLS. - ”where the King of Archenland is berating King Edmund for being flippant in the most horrendous abuse of old Narnian Rilian has ever seen, and he’s read Nicomedes, so that’s saying something.“ I LOL’D SO HARD. SO MUCH LOL - ”When he and Princess Marged of Archenland get married, he decides, the first thing he’s going to ask her is how she’d like her funeral to go, so he doesn’t end up in the state that Father’s in right now.” So funny and so macabre at the same time. A+ - ”He wonders what the doctor will think if he just scrawls I don’t think Cynaegiros likes King Edmund very much in answer to question number three.” Oh man, I’m going to burn all the copies of Cynaegiros too! - Asdflkj I love the little figurines in the window in respect for the dead queen and how weird and barbaric that would feel to a young man. - ”It only takes Rilian a minute to decide that she’s the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen, far more beautiful than his –“ with both this and the last line of the fic. MAN. I am curious at your authorial intent, if Rilian is having more than your usual dose of literary Oedipal syndrome. AND I LOVE IT and I LOVE THE AMBIGUITY, but man. - STATUE OF SUSAN IN BATH. A VERY GOOD LIKENESS. HAHAHAH. - Rilian falling for the witch immediately; I just love it. - CASPIAN’S IMPOTENT SADNESS IN HIS SCENE WITH RILIAN. THE TRAGIC LIFE OF KING CASPIAN THE TENTH. I AM ALWAYS SO SAD FOR HIM. - I just adore the little touch at the end with him looking up at the constellations in his bedroom, like thousands of other boys; and how his mom would have known these stars. - UGHHHH POOR BB RILLIAN.
This fic is just glorious; thank you, thank you, thank you.
