Edmund's denial in Narnia? Well, if Edmund had emotional self-awareness and intelligence, he would probably realize that 1)in the interest of self-preservation, he's trying to convince himself it's not any big deal since DUH, she is going to be in the Lone Islands, she's going to head a House and (oh yeah marry someone else), etc. so it's obviously temporary; 2) he has difficulty trusting people and Morgan does have this habit of omitting critical information; 3) that whole consort/heir/succession thing is for Peter and Susan, not him. That all probably covers it, yes?

Asim and shipping for shipping's sake and the related point, though not mentioned specifically, of those people who see themselves as asexual, I don't want to have everyone paired off. Something that was fun to explore with the Guard relationships, with Digory, and with Asim, with the Colonel, Agnes, and so many others, is relationships and individuals that are very close and even intimate, but not sexual. I'm expressing this badly, but in fact, most the relationships in our lives are among friends and there are certainly some for whom personal intimacy is not a priority or even felt especially. I definitely put Asim in this category and writing Polly and Digory in that way has been a great joy.
