Lucy is everyone's favorite sibling
I love slightly unhinged/changed pevensie children headcannons. Even though it's not technically cannon, it's still cool.
A SAVAGE PLACE
because I just re-read Prince Caspian and remembered how completely different it is to the movie, and because it says Aslan is good but not safe and I think so is Narnia and, as they become part of the fabric of it, so are the Pevensies
âYou may find Narnia a more savage place than you remember.â
Trumpkin has never heard a silence so loud as this that follows his warning. The children glance at each other, crowding the air with a language he isnât hearing. His skin prickles with it. He turns away from them, drawing his knife to begin skinning the wild bear.
Only a moment later, the smaller, darker boy is drawing his own knife and dropping to his knees. Trumpkin looks at him sidelong, uncertain.
âIâm a fair butcher,â King Edmund tells him mildly, and he plunges his arms in up to the elbows.

This is the story Trumpkin knows.
That once, Narnia was held in the grip of a terrible Winter brought upon it by a tyrant Witch, that four children were called by Aslan the Great Lion out of their own land to cast her down, and when they had done so the Lion crowned them himself at the shining castle of Cair Paravel, where the ruins now lie on the sea. That they governed so wisely and well that the folk of Narnia knew nothing of evil or hardship. That all was joy, when the trees danced and the animals spoke.
That the first of them held with equal steadiness the sceptre and the sword, that to him was given the crown above crowns, that every sovereign before or since stood but palely in the shadow of his glory. That the second of them surpassed all other beauties, that she was soft of hand and soft of heart. That the third of them had learned such wisdom on the path of darkness that his counsel was worth more than rubies, and the tongue in his mouth was as silver as his crown. That the fourth of them was the darling of the land, that laughter and lightness were her constant companions, that to see her smile was to be blessed.
In front of him now, the fourth is drying her eyes with dirty sleeves, and the third curses as he picks blood from under his fingernails, and the second scowls, tugging at her long hair, all straggly with salty air and sweat, and the first of them is building a thin fire with trembling hands, silent.

âDonât say much, eh, that brother of yours?â
He is walking alongside Queen Lucy the Valiant, who is all of nine years old, wearing a grin and a dagger. They are following the tall one, whose steps are sure and make no sound.
âWell, of course not. He has to be careful what he says.â
âDonât we all?â
He is chuckling, but she isnât. Her face is young and pale and flecked with sunlight that shifts like a glamour. Â There are moments when her teeth look too big for her mouth, when her eyes sit strangely, as though she has stolen them from another. Sometimes she is difficult to look at.
âNot like Peter does. When he speaksâŚâ
Smiling, she spreads her arms wide, embracing the still trees and sleeping waters, the sky above them and the earth below.
âNarnia listens.â
They trudge on, and Trumpkin watches King Peter watching the clouds. He has never been so far as Narniaâs northern border, where the sky lies heavy and indomitable on the bleak, open land. He does not know what it would mean to be crowned for the blue mountains and distant thunder of the cold, still North; the terrible immensity of it. The carvings on the walls of Aslanâs How are flat and dead, fading under the dust of uncountable years. They do not show these things, and they do not show the High Kingâs lion-gold hair or his clear, calm predatorâs eyes, or how at dusk in enemy lands it was once whispered that behind closed lips, his teeth were fangs and his breath smelled of iron.
The little girl skips ahead to catch her brotherâs hand. The trees shiver around them, remembering the rhythm of her steps on the earth, the way sheâd danced, mad and barefoot, her shrieking laughter in the night. The echo of it has hung in their leaves for a thousand years. Trumpkin sees them stirring, shakes his head, cannot help wondering if her voice, too, is threaded with this deep magic. Itâs here in the very presence of these four living ghosts, in their fingertips and their footprints and the corners of their eyes. And though Trumpkin has never been a believer until now, he has heard enough to know that magic is not always sweet.
Behind him, the older girl is humming a tune that Trumpkin doesnât quite recognise, though it catches in his ears like something familiar. There are no histories written of Queen Susan and the sly sirens, of how she would step from the sea like a drowned woman with her clinging hair, her deep-hued lips, to sing the music she had learned. The histories that remain crown her to the rich south, where the crops grow and the flowers open their delicate hearts for the indifferent eyes of the sun. As Trumpkin turns to look, pulled by that hypnotic song, she snaps a bloom from a bush of wild roses to slide into her hair.
She has not seen him glancing back, but the other one, the younger boy, has. Under his dark eyes, Trumpkin feels as pinned as if he were at the point of a dagger. Though they are far from the wild woods of the west, this is still King Edmundâs realm: the forest with all its shadows and its green secrets, laid bare when winterâs frozen hands come to strip them away. But now it is high summer and the leaves are thick, cloaking the woods in their mystery, and Trumpkin cannot see what is behind the boy-kingâs sharp smile.

Time is long and wearing, and this is the story the Old Narnians have forgotten.
That Susanâs soft fingers had stung under the tautness of her bowstring, the first time sheâd pulled it back to kill. That Peter had wept beside the corpse of the wolf. That Aslanâs maw had been red and sticky, dripping thick ropes of blood, and that the Witch had been beautiful, in her cold way.

âI have been told â I have learned about the Golden Age,â Caspian tells them later, shaky and fervent. âThe legend. Of what Narnia was when you ruled it. It must seem like a sparse, savage place, compared with the one you knew.â
They watch him silently. Peter, whose eyes are bright and blank as a clear sky, and Susan with her full, unsmiling lips are already their own statues. After a moment, Edmundâs harsh laughter fills the darkness, and Lucy pinches him with fingers as sharp as any faeryâs.
That night, Caspian puts the Horn where he cannot see it before he tries to sleep. Â
"and they were roommates" but this is an s-rank nukenin who heads a terrorist organization that tries to end the world and his childhood not-a-friend in whose arms he died and their little shared dimension
