Long Ago and Far Away

Title: (Je N’ai Pas Oublié) La Chanson Que Tu Me Chantais
Characters: Caspian X, Other(s) Mentioned
Pairing: Edmund/Caspian, Caspian & Ramandu’s Daughter
Setting: Post-Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Rating: T
Warnings: None
A/N: I have tried to ship Caspian with Ramandu’s Daughter, but it doesn’t work for me. As a King, however, Caspian has little choice about whether he marries; this might help explain some of his behaviour here. The title is from the poem Les Feuilles Mortes by Jacques Prévert.
Summary: He’s no longer here, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t still in love with him.

( If anything, the opposite is true. )

Title: Near To You
Warnings: None
Rating: T
Character(s): Caspian X, Edmund Pevensie
Pairing: Caspian/Edmund Pevensie
Notes: The quote at the top of this piece, and through it the title, comes from the Carpenters song Merry Christmas, Darling. Yes, this is AU post-Voyage of the Dawn Treader Casmund. No, I don’t care about canon.
Summary: You never dared to dream you could have this, but sometimes dreams do come true.

( Near To You )

Title: Miserere
Warnings: None
Disclaimer: Any characters you recognise belong to C. S. Lewis.
Character(s): Edmund Pevensie
Pairing: Caspian/Edmund Pevensie
Rating: T
Summary: One of these days it will stop hurting, and that's what terrifies you.

( You can't believe this will ever hurt less than it does right now. )

Title: Belief
Rating: T
Setting: post-Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Character(s): Caspian X, Edmund Pevensie (mentioned)
Pairing(s): Caspian/Edmund Pevensie
Disclaimer: Characters you recognise belong to C. S. Lewis.
Summary: You’ll always need him with you, to shore up your self-belief; but Edmund’s gone, for ever.

( How do you move on? )

Title: And Light Shines in Darkness
Rating: T
Relationship: Caspian/Edmund Pevensie
Characters: Edmund Pevensie
Notes: Set post-Voyage of the Dawn Treader in the months immediately following the Pevensies’ (and Eustace’s) return from Narnia, this deals with Edmund’s inability to forget Caspian, or their relationship, and the pain of having to transition back into a life without him.  My headcanon for the Pevensies has them as probably at least High Church, although probably not Roman Catholic.  Inspirations for this piece include the Feast of All Souls, a specific XKCD cartoon, and the Third Collect for Evensong; the quote at the beginning is from the song Reach Haven Postcard by Dan Fogelburg.  The title is amended from John 1:5 in the Jerusalem Bible.  As always, any characters you recognise here belong to C. S. Lewis.
Summary: You’d like to think you’re getting over Caspian.  But the reality is you’re nowhere near that point, and you know it.

( You’re not entirely sure how you’ve found yourself in here, in this sacred place, and you’re just thinking about how you will turn around and go back the way you came when you spot them. )
