Chapter 2
A/N: This chapter starts out 1 year (Narnian time), then does a flashback to 6 months before that, and then comes back to the 1 year mark.
ZeldaQueen: And what a good thing it was that you told us that. With your clear markings of the time jumps, I never could have guessed *rolls eyes*
Anne stood in front of the mirror, in one of the many rooms of the castle, simply admiring herself in her beautiful, Narnian style wedding dress.
ZeldaQueen: (Sue) "By Aslan, I'm gorgeous!"
She couldn't believe that this was really happening. She couldn't believe that in just one short hour, she and Caspian would be married, and that she would then be Queen of Narnia. Never, in all her wildest dreams, had she ever imagined that this would happen.
ZeldaQueen: (Anne) "Let's see, I'm the only Pevensie in Narnia, I erased Susan from Caspian's memory, and I'm set to be queen. hot damn, I'm good!"
As she waited for the ceremony to begin, she couldn't help but think back to just 6 months earlier, back to when her soon-to-be husband had asked her that all important question.
ZeldaQueen: "What do you get when you multiply nine and six?"
And I predict a flashback -
ZeldaQueen: I hate being right all of the time
It was mid-afternoon, and she had been walking through the gardens, just enjoying the view, thinking about how lucky she was to be there, and to have the most wonderful man in her life to share it with. Right about that time, she had felt two strong arms wrap around her waist. She knew right away who it was.
ZeldaQueen: Struggle though she might, the M.A.R.Y.S.U.E. agents held tight and eventually drove a spork through her shriveled heart. With her gone, canon was promptly restored
"Yes, but not as beautiful as you, my love." he had whispered in her ear, before he had dipped
ZeldaQueen: - the chips in the dip
his head down, and placed a gentle kiss on her neck. She had turned around, and found herself still wrapped in his arms, and looking right into his eyes. "I love you so much, Anne. Never forget that."
ZeldaQueen: I, on the other hand, would gladly forget it
She had smiled. "I love you, too, Caspian. Always and forever." They had both leaned in, and shared a very gentle, yet very passionate kiss, before he had taken her hand in his.
ZeldaQueen: *gags*
"Come with me, my darling. I have something I want to show you." He held out his arm, which she had gladly taken. They had walked only a short distance, when they had all of a sudden stopped.
ZeldaQueen: (Caspian) "Okay, I'm bored"
"Now look all around you, Anne. One day, all of this, everything your eyes can see, will not only belong to me, but to my Queen, as well."
ZeldaQueen: (Sue) "What, the curtains?"
Seriously, just try and tell me that that wasn't the first thing you all thought of
"Why are you showing all this to me, though?"
ZeldaQueen: He has declared his undying love for you and is now telling you about the cool toys the queen gets. Gee, I wonder
"I'm showing all this to you, my love," He got down on one knee, and produced a small black box. "because I want you to be my Queen." He then opened the box, revealing the most beautiful ring she had ever seen. It had a band of 6 small diamonds on top, one big diamond in the middle, and another band of 6 small diamonds on the bottom. Her hands had flown to her mouth in utter surprise. She had had no idea that he had even been thinking about doing this.
ZeldaQueen: Holy shit, this was written by Link's Queen. I refuse to believe that there is another Suethor who is just as obsessed with cliches and pointless jewelry descriptions.
And you had no idea he was even thinking about marrying you? Yet you gave up your home and family to be with him? Interesting...
He took her left hand in his, and had looked deep into her eyes. "When I first laid eyes on you, I thought I was dreaming, because I didn't think it was possible that anyone could be that beautiful.
ZeldaQuen: I may vomit
The first time you smiled at me, my heart literally skipped a beat. From the first time we kissed, I realized, right then and there, that I wanted nothing more than to wake up in your arms everyday for the rest of my life.
ZeldaQueen: I'm going to vomit
You really are the best thing that has ever happened to me. Anne, I love you more than life itself, and could never imagine my life without you. Will you marry me?"
ZeldaQueen: It has not escaped my notice that Caspian didn't pop the question until after he told the Sue all of the cool stuff she'd get by marrying him. Reminds me of when Xanatos proposed to Fox, citing how they were compatible enough. When Fox asked him about love, he said he loved her as much as it was possible for him to love someone. Now there's a relationship that's infinitely more meaningful and deep than this one, and the bride and groom were both unscrupulous criminals
As you can imagine, tears had now started streaming down her face. "Yes. Yes, Caspian. Of course I'll marry you." They had both smiled, as he placed the ring on her finger, and had then picked her up and twirled her around in his arms.
ZeldaQueen: He then set her on fire and flipped her in the air. Caspian's human-baton practice was coming along splendidly
He had gently set her back down, and they had both leaned in for a kiss. This had been no ordinary kiss, though. This kiss had been a promise. It had been a promise that one day they would be husband and wife-a promise that one day, she would be his Queen, and she honestly couldn't have been any happier.
ZeldaQueen: *vomits*
She was just starting to come back to reality, when she heard a voice on the other side of the door.
ZeldaQueen: (Sporkers) "You can't hide forever!"
"It's time, dear one. Are you ready?" Aslan asked.
ZeldaQueen: She's not
"I've never been more ready for anything in my life." she replied. She walked out of the room, and he stood next to her on her right side.
ZeldaQueen: She's really not
About that time, the music began to play, and everyone there stood up to watch. She glided down the aisle, with him right by her side the whole time.
ZeldaQueen: Son of a bitch, she did! She just had Aslan walk her down the aisle and give her away! She just had the equivalent of Jesus give her away...in the role usually assumed by a father or father-figure...which implies that she's...the daughter of Jesus...
SON OF A BITCH!!!
All the guests were absolutely blown away by how beautiful she looked, but she was completely oblivious to all of them.
ZeldaQueen: *sings* Just a Mary Sue, oh yes. Always, always, always best
The only person she was looking at was Caspian. He was the only person in the room she truly cared about.
ZeldaQueen: He was the only one with power and money who was also hot
He gently took her hand in his, and together they turned to face Aslan, who had already made his way up to the front. He nodded to everyone, signifying that they could sit down, and the ceremony began.
ZeldaQueen: Being that world's Jesus, he led the group in an exorcism that burned the Sue to a crisp in seconds flat
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to
ZeldaQueen: - nail your gizzards to the mast, you poxy cur!
join your new King, Caspian X and Lady Anne Pevensie in the bonds of holy matrimony. If anyone here sees any reason why these two should not be joined, please speak now, or forever hold your peace."
ZeldaQueen: I OBJECT! ME! AND ABOUT FIVE MILLION OTHER PEOPLE READING THIS!!!!
There was an ever so slight pause, and no one said anything, so he continued.
ZeldaQueen: What, don't I count? *huffy sigh*
He spoke briefly to everyone, before then addressing the two of them.
"Now, please face each other, take the other persons' hands in your own, and look deeply into each others' eyes. They did,
ZeldaQueen: Wait, he's ordering them to be soppily cliche? Or is that actually a command in the ceremony?
and he first looked over at Caspian.
"Will you, Caspian, have Anne to be your wife? Will you love her, comfort and keep her,
ZeldaQueen: On a pumpkin shelf
and forsaking all others remain true to her as long as you both shall live?"
"I will."
ZeldaQueen: He already has forsaken Susan, Lilliandil, and canon
Will you, Anne, have Caspian to be your husband? Will you love him, comfort and keep him, and forsaking all others remain true to him as long as you both shall live?"
"I will."
ZeldaQueen: She already threw her family under a bus for this guy, I don't really think she cares
The rings were then brought forward, and Caspian took the first one.
ZeldaQueen: This is a wedding, not the Pledge of Allegiance!
"I have for you a golden ring."
"I have for you a golden ring."
ZeldaQueen: And a partridge in a pear tree
"It is made of precious metal, which symbolizes that your love is the most precious element in my life."
ZeldaQueen: Sues are about as precious as a tapeworm
"This ring has no beginning and no ending,"
"which symbolizes that the covenant between us will never cease."
"which symbolizes that the covenant between us will never cease."
ZeldaQueen: Yes, the Sue will feast unendingly on canon
"I place it on your finger as a symbol of the vows which have made us husband and wife."
ZeldaQueen: (Caspian) "Namely sex, sex, and more sex"
Anne reached in and took the second ring.
ZeldaQueen: Oh God, not this all again!
"I have for you a golden ring."
"It is made of precious metal, which symbolizes that I value your love above all else."
"It is made of precious metal, which symbolizes that I value you love above all else."
"The ring goes endlessly on,"
"The ring goes endlessly on,"
"just as our love will endure forever."
"just as our love will endure forever."
"I place it on your finger as a symbol of the vows which have made us husband and wife."
"I place it on your finger as a symbol of the vows which have made us husband and wife."
ZeldaQueen: I know the bride and groom have to say the same vows, but I get the feeling that arielanne here was enjoying hearing it all said twice
and devotion,
ZeldaQueen: - and random space breaks
I now pronounce you husband and wife."
ZeldaQueen: (Aslan) "Assuming you're brave enough"
(Sue) "Pucker up, sweetheart" *smiles and shows off shark teeth*
(Caspian) *whimpers*
They both smiled at each other, and leaned in and shared a brief, but passionate kiss, before turning
to face their guests.
ZeldaQueen: - and then mooning them
his wife, Anne-High King and Queen of Narnia!"
ZeldaQueen: (Suethor) *wank wank wank wank*
The music had already started playing by the time they walked in. The first couple of dances were for everyone. The last one, though, would the most important of all-their first dance as husband and wife and King and Queen.
ZeldaQueen: It involved the Sue. Of course it was the most important!
Anne mingled with a few of their guests, before Caspian walked over, and held his hand out to her.
"My Queen," She gladly gave him her hand, which he then held up close to his face, and kissed. "May I have this dance?"
ZeldaQueen: I should be grateful. At least this doesn't have that sickeningly-cutesy cake feeding and whatnot from My Inner Life
"Why of course you may, My King." she replied. They walked out onto the dance floor, and everyone else moved out of the way, clearing a path for their new King and Queen.
ZeldaQueen: It seemed they were being respectful, but in reality no one wanted to be within ten yards of the Sue
After the dance, they mingled with a few more of their subjects, before deciding to bid everyone goodbye, and head up to their private chambers.
ZeldaQueen: *laughs* Oh yes Suethor, you can't be bothered to give details about your precious avatar interacting with those peons, so you skip straight ahead to the giggity~
Once they got there, he opened the door and lifted her up into his arms, with her wrapping her arms around his neck.
ZeldaQueen: She then proceeded to drain his energy, much like a vampire
"Not as much as I love you, your Majesty." She returned his smile, and his kiss.
ZeldaQueen: *tries to decapitate them both*
ZeldaQueen: The Suethor's italics love just made things get a whole lot creepier
This was what they both wanted, though.
ZeldaQueen: Random italics are fun, yes they are!
And why is that "though" there? That would imply that one of them is acting like they don't want the wedding night, despite the fact that they both do
It was the night they had been waiting for for so long. Tonight was their night, and nothing was going to stop them from enjoying it. Absolutely nothing.
ZeldaQueen: Not even the rampaging italics running amok in their bedchambers.
And thank the lord above, Arielanne skips actually writing in the wedding night. Either that, or she wanted to and fanfiction.net wouldn't let her. In any case, we're spared any mention of the headboard-breaking, maiden-barrier-dissolving, tiger sex that surely would have ensued

WTFWTFWTFWTFWTFWTFWTFWTFWTF
Sorry, my brain got stuck in a feedback loop there. RULE 34, GET OUT OF MY NARNIA. NOW.
Didn't Caspian marry the daughter of Ramandu, who was beautiful beyond compare? I don't recall in the books that he was even remotely interested in Susan (who wound up rejecting Christianity and becoming worldly).
And hold on just ONE FARGING MINUTE. Aslan--as you point out, Narnia's JESUS--is conducting the ceremony? AND ANNE IS SO FRAGGING FIXATED ON CASPIAN THAT SHE DOESN'T PAY HIM ALL THAT MUCH MIND? Anne, you blasphemous wench, it's NOT a good thing if you lose track of Jesus in favor of someone, ANYONE else!!!
AND ASLAN JUST BLIGGING DISAPPEARS FROM THE NARRATIVE AFTER HE'S DONE TALKING LIKE HE DOESN'T MATTER???
HARGABRBLBRBLBRLBRLBRLBRL!
...
*pant*
...Of course, I realize that more people will hold to movie-canon than book-canon, but it's still the canon I grew up with and the canon Jack Lewis wrote! I don't think even the Cast ladies and their constant Christian-bashing makes me this angry.

Seriously, just try and tell me that that wasn't the first thing you all thought of.
Actually, the first thing that popped into my head was that scene in The Lion King. "Everything the light touches..."

Date: 2011-05-03 12:43 pm (UTC)Mufasa: Look, Simba. Everything the light touches is our kingdom.
Young Simba: Wow.
Mufasa: A king's time as ruler rises and falls like the sun. One day, Simba, the sun will set on my time here, and will rise with you as the new king.
Young Simba: And this'll all be mine?
Mufasa: Everything.

Date: 2011-05-03 03:53 am (UTC)I love it when canon steps in and bitchslaps Sues.
Also, just to make this completely squicky, at the end of the book Prince Caspian, the title character is about twelve. And when Aslan asks if he's ready to be king, he replies, "I don't think so, Aslan. I'm just a kid." (Obviously, the producers aged Caspian up for the movies.)
But yeah. Going by book canon, Anne, you just married a boy about the same age as your sister Susan. And you can't be much older than Peter, because of the age limit on visits to Narnia, so I'd guess that you're fourteen.
Getting married at fourteen to a twelve-year-old king--and then getting pregnant--is clearly a wonderful idea!
(no subject)
Date: 2011-05-04 04:53 am (UTC)Yeah, it's pretty obvious when movie canon is used rather than book canon. All of the characters were aged up, really. Just a little squick...

Date: 2012-08-02 07:46 pm (UTC)To meet Aslan. Because he is the best character. And now... Now he is walking some damn Sue down the aisle??!! And then BOOM. He disappears and isn't important?
No. Just... No.
"She returned his smile, and his kiss."
Because neither were good enough for the Mega-Sue and she deserved only the best.
