So I was watching The Chronicles of Narnia and now I’m totally shipping Peter/Susan and Edmund/Lucy. What are your thoughts of the Narnia siblings? I think they’re all quite shippable.

Oh yay! Another Pevencest shipper!!!

I sort of feel like it’s impossible not to ship them??? And I don’t just mean because they all grow up in Narnia, with basically no other humans around. (The book mentions other humans but the first movie doesn’t at all.) But also because they’re just all so wonderful and lovely and they have these really interesting relationships with so much potential. (And that goes for Edmund/Susan and Peter/Lucy too, which I have met people who ship those relationships and they make sense too.)

Peter and Susan are just amazing because you have Peter the Magnificent and Susan the Gentle, and like Peter is the high king and the oldest and sort of like the “father” figure and then Susan is such a nurturer and a caretaker and she’s considerate and worrier and just such a mother so they’re like the parents of Edmund and Lucy and of the kingdom too. And I always think of “Gentle” as also meaning gentility, like she’s nobility or an aristocrat, and that ties so much into what Lucy feels about her in the later movies, that she’s an impossible standard of grace and beauty and that just the perfect complement to who Peter is supposed to be. And they just fit together so well and I just have all of these little shippy headcanons that make me giddy of Susan tending to Peter’s wounds after a battle (not that she wouldn’t have been in the action herself, because she would have been), and the two of them decompressing together after a really stressful day of ruling, and Susan always having the best advice, and Susan telling Peter to sleep in for once and then she basically fixes all of the kingdom’s problems and then brings him lunch.

And Peter never meeting anyone who compares to Susan, and Susan never meeting anyone who compares to Peter.

(I have more commentary on them here.)

And then Edmund and Lucy are so different. Edmund is so flawed, and he resents Peter. And Lucy is all heart but she can be insecure and while Peter and Susan are so perfectly complementary, Edmund and Lucy opposites but they still work together in this magical way. Edmund the Just and Lucy the Valiant. Someone “just” needs someone to temper them with mercy. And someone “valiant” needs someone to help them be selfish and suspicious sometimes.

I can just imagine them loving each other so passionately (after a long struggle). And Lucy loves Edmund so much she would forgive him, and I imagine he would need to be with someone like that. And as we’ve seen, Edmund gets into a lot of trouble with the wrong kind of person. Everything went wrong when he turned on Lucy.

Yes, I ship them a lot.

_{“Yes,” said Eustace, “and whenever you’ve tried to get her to come and talk about Narnia or do anything about Narnia, she says ‘What wonderful memories you have! Fancy you still thinking about all those funny games we used to play when we were children.’ ”}

_{“Oh Susan!” said Jill. “She’s interested in nothing nowadays except nylons and lipstick and invitations. She always was a jolly sight too keen on being grow-up.”}

_{“Grown-up, indeed,” said the Lady Polly. “I wish she would grow up. She wasted all her school time wanting to be the age she is now, and she’ll waste all the rest of her life trying to stay that age. Her whole idea is to race on to the silliest time of one’s life as quick as she can and then stop there as long as she can.”}

_{“Well, let’s not talk about that now,” said Peter.}

replied to your post “Pevencest tho *.*”

I’m convinced it’s canon. It’s been a while since I read the books, but I remember realizing they were the only humans there in the Lion, the Witch etc and at the end children were mentioned…I think. So yes, I’m convinced they are canon.

If you take the first movie all by itself then the four of them get stranded for over a decade in a world where they are seemingly the only humans. That sounds like unstated canon to me. 

The book mentions men living in other lands. Susan had suitors. But in a way it’s almost better because SHE TURNS THEM ALL DOWN. I guess she was feeling pretty satisfied already. *nudges with elbow*

Not expecting any more luck than the other anons but, as someone who prefers Edmond/Susan and Peter/Lucy, do you know of any good fic/fanwork for me?

Hi!

You are definitely not the first person I’ve encountered who prefers Edmund/Susan and Peter/Lucy. I ship those combinations too, if a little less. Each side of the “love square” makes sense in its own way to me.

Sadly, as you expected, I do not have any recs for you.

So, I checked out the properties of the text document where I had saved some Narnia fics, and I created it in January of 2009. So that means that a little over six years ago I did some looking around for Narnia incest fic. I remember that most of the fics I found were not on FF.net, and this was before AO3. 

Strangely/unfortunately, the main archive where I read most of the fic seems to have completely disappeared from existence. I remember vaguely what it looked like and how it was navigated. (It was not on livejournal.) I can tell some of the fics I saved to my computer were copied and pasted from that site because they have a black background. I’ve googled some sentences from those fics and they have not turned up that archive. So I guess it’s gone. The good news is that most of the fics I have appear to be on FF.net (all except one) so the fics themselves don’t appear to be lost forever (for the most part).

I found a couple of archives where one might find Pevencest fanfic:

Pevensie_love

Narnia By Night

Narnia-fics

Narnia-wham

narniaexchange

narnian-herald

narniadrabble

And just for the sake of collecting everything in one place, I also want to put these here (I apologize, Anon, for hijacking this post):

i love peter/susan, do you know of any other tumblrs that talk about them

No, and I can’t understand it, Anon. All things considered, it’s a fairly popular incest ship but no one on tumblr ever talks about it. I can only assume that’s mostly because it’s old. Even the most recent TCON movie came out 4+ years ago, and it wasn’t nearly as popular and the ones that preceded it. (At least that’s my perception.)

There’s a fair amount of fanfic out there, but not always in the places you would normally look. I bet livejournal is where a lot of the existing Peter/Susan stuff is at, though I don’t know of any specific site. I’d really love to find some commentary, but all I know of for a fact is fanfic. (I know there was at least one stand-alone archive dedicated to Pevensie-cest) But sadly there just wasn’t the same platform for fanning around back then as there is now. Deviantart, AO3, Tumblr, etc. – there’s a lot more community now. And, at least in certain areas (especially of tumblr), a lot more permissiveness about incest shipping. I bet a lot of people shipped it and just kept it to themselves. Or shipped it like, “Oh, I wish they weren’t brother and sister!” without someone like me encouraging them to just let their hair down. 

I’d really love to do a promotional week for Narnia ships…

Does anyone know of a good place for Peter/Susan content?

Can we just take a moment to Peter/Susan and Clary/Sebastian(Jonathan)?

Yes, we can, Anon. We sure can.

And I think it’s totally hilarious that you mentioned those two relationships together because
they so totally and completely different, lol.

The Peter/Susan
shipping is just so smooth and easy. it’s just like, “Of course.” Of
course they would fall in love. Of course they would be together. Peter’s such a dad and Susan is such a mom and I love it.

And
Clary and Jonathan, well….that’s a dark ship but I can’t deny finding
it interesting. (It helps that I strongly dislike Jace/Clary…) I
don’t know it well enough to talk about it too much, but there’s some
fire there. I don’t think I’ve ever done a good job of hiding the fact
that I am absolute trash and I love hate ships, even ones where some
really bad shit has gone down between them.
