First, thanks so much! Despite the character-centric match up, the fact is, I’m pretty agnostic as to characters for the NFE. Whatever we've been matched on, don't worry because I like just about anything and what I don't like has to do with tone and characterization, not particular characters. This time around, I have gotten a bit more specific with Friends of Narnia, so, basically any and/or all Pevensies, Eustace, Jill, Digory and/or Polly. I'd like at least one of them in it somewhere but feel free to add human and non-human OCs, non-binary characters and POC, and romantic pairings.

New in my request: Something I really love about Narnia (and what I assume the Friends bring back to England) is the sense of wild diversity and inclusiveness. The victory romp in PC is my idea of the very best of Narnia. I'd love to see that abundance, acceptance, vibrancy, passion, color, and exuberance in a story. If you go in this direction, feel free to introduce OCs, POC, and characters that are non-binary, neuro-atypical, and not human, etc. if you like, THROW A BIG PARTY.

I've pretty consistently requested adults but I also like adults in children's bodies -- in other words, they can be young in appearance but old in terms of years lived, wisdom and experience. From my previous prompts, you can glean the following, and I'm surprised at how little they've changed

What I also love:

UST; witty banter and snark; Politics, finance or military strategy; World War 2; Worldbuilding; Gap-filling; Culture clash (within Narnia or Narnia vs. Spare Oom); healthy, romantic relationship between exuberantly consenting adults (canon pairing or OC); someone being extraordinarily clever and getting out of a jam; any Narnian (Pevensie or otherwise) observed from a third person point of view; anything sly, wry, and silly; rapid fire dialogue; a delightful sense of the absurd
A happy ending, delightful characterization, and to laugh at least once
Pagan and/or mythological influences;
Adults and old souls in young bodies;
A Narnia with creaky wheels, the faint smell of manure, the stronger odor of wet livestock and dogs, grass stains, bare feet, pollen, open windows, and lots of animal hair and feathers
I prefer humor over angst and sex over violence.
Cross-overs!
AU and canon divergence is great too. A Golden Age > 15 years, so, therefore I'd love an AU look with adult Pevensies, OC consorts, and the next gen. Similarly, I’d love a Spare Oom AU with a happily ever after and no train crash
If it's Narnia based, I'd be very happy if you just ignore TLB completely. I prefer Golden Age and the period around PC and VoDT is great too, so long as there is at least one Friend of Narnia in it.

What I definitely don't want in my fic: it's a short list but pretty strongly held: excessive angst, gore or violence; any dub-con whatsoever; Susan written as "Fallen Away From Narnia because of Lipstick and Nylons"; Lucy sidelined or being protected by her overbearing big brothers and worry-wart sister.

Last, here is a moose, swimming in a very deep, very cold, alpine lake. How did she get there? Where is she going? Why? https://imgur.com/a/VTyaqxv

Also, Thomas the polyamorous, bisexual blind goose, https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-43054363 who lived to the ripe old age of 40.
Tell me about Thomas!!

I've got a big body of Narnia work and some people like to play in it. If that's something that you are interested in, you don't need my permission!
