i'm not trying to wake you up

Title: the night starts here (8a/?)
Author: likecharity
Pairing: Will/Skandar/Anna
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Real person slash and het
Summary: They've been apart for much longer than this before, but not since they started sleeping together, and even though Will's still not sure how to define what they are to each other now, it's clearly added some further intimacy to their relationship that has made it a much bigger deal to be separated. And—judging by the way Will's heart is currently hammering away in his chest as though it's trying to break right out—it's made it a much bigger deal to be reunited, as well.
A/N: It has literally been four years since I updated this story. I am so so sorry. If you are still interested then I actually love you. I do. I especially love prunesquallormd for taking the time to beta this for me, thank you so much!! You can also read this here on AO3.

(Additional note: In this 'verse, the filming of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader takes place about a year earlier than it did in real life. This is because I wrote a lot of this before certain things had actually happened and am now constricted by a pre-existing timeline. The events of the story so far have taken part during summer 2008, and Dawn Treader begins filming only a few months after the premiere of Prince Caspian. Let's just say that everyone was SUPER ORGANISED in this 'verse and therefore filming didn't keep getting delayed?)

( 'I miss Skandar,' says Anna in a pathetic voice, pouting as she snuggles up closer to Will on the sofa. )

So I'm still having a lot of Narnia cast feelings. I'm not entirely sure where this came from. I have this theory that because there were about three years between each movie, it's a sort of biological clock thing? Like some part of me recognises that three years have passed and there has not been a Narnia fandom resurgence and so it's like. Psst. Hey. HEY. IT'S NARNIA FANDOM TIME.

Or something. Alternatively, as starsimpulse put it, "Narnia is like this old flame that you keep going back to for comfort and embarrassing sex."

Anyway I've been getting super nostalgic and missing the days of talking about the Narnia cast on LJ and then I kind of realised that I can still do that?? So this is going to be kind of an update post where I talk about what everybody is up to these days. Maybe? Let's see.

( News about Anna, Georgie, Skandar, Will, Ben, and Will P. under the cut. Also pictures and screencaps and stuff. )

Okay I think that's everything? I mean it's probably not everything, but it seems like a reasonable summary.

Somehow I've ended up making gifs of the Prince Caspian DVD commentary on Tumblr, and in order to do that, I basically transcribed all the cute/funny/interesting parts of the commentary. I feel like since I went to the effort I should probably post all of that here, like I did for the LWW one a few years back! I always meant to do it because the only other post I'd made on the PC commentary was when I first listened to it and I don't think I went into much detail. And I'm really determined to try and drag as many people as I can back into this fandom with me.

Oh oh, also! The wonderful prunesquallormd finally finished his epic Lucy/Susan fic, With A Clouded View, and you should all go read it right away if you're interested in that kind of thing, because it's utterly lovely and he worked really hard on it for a really long time. ♥ Edit: I forgot to mention it's also on AO3, here!

So. I bought the Dawn Treader DVD and I probably should have waited for a two-disc special edition of some sort because IT KIND OF REALLY SUCKS. The special features are basically just deleted scenes and commentary with Michael and Mark, plus music videos that I don't care about. FAIL. >:(

I'll probably end up listening to the commentary anyway because I suppose they might tell some cute stories about the cast but it's nowhere near as good as actually hearing the cast interact themselves and I'M STILL REALLY CROSS/SAD ABOUT THIS OKAY, THE COMMENTARY IS MY FAVOURITE PART. There aren't even any behind the scenes things. Apparently there's more on the Blu-Ray or something? And from what I can tell there's going to be a special edition version at some point in the future, but. Sigh.

Well, I watched the deleted scenes tonight and took a few caps and thought I'd talk about them anyway.

( Under the cut. )

In case you don't have the DVD yet and are avoiding spoiling it for yourself,

( other things. )

So. This is a thing that happened. (At this rate, I should really be doing a Will/Skandar mix? I mean, what even, I've done three Narnia fanmixes in like less than a month and NONE OF THEM ARE EVEN FOR MY OTP?)

And um, just in case you're a normal person who doesn't obsessively follow Skandar and Tilda's "friendship" (idek what to call it, man), that picture on the back cover is there because that is the necklace she gave him when they finished filming LWW. She gave him a necklace. He wore it.

That's all I'm saying.


Title: tender talons
Maker: likecharity
Pairing: Skandar Keynes/Tilda Swinton
Sounds like: Anxiety, frustration, teasing, control...psychological fuckery in general. Trippy electronica and dubstep with a little bit of raw garage-y rock, and hints (okay, more than hints) of a d/s dynamic.
Includes: Individual .mp3s, .rar and .zip all on Mediafire.



( don't act like you can't act. stand up like a man. )

Look at me, updating about the Narnia cast on New Year's Eve. TYPICAL.

Half an hour before midnight, even. I should probably get a life sometime in 2011.

But for now, look! There's new stuff.


Can we talk about how hard I'm shipping Ben/Will P. now? I DIDN'T MEAN FOR THIS TO HAPPEN but Ben is so adorable whenever he talks about him, he just GUSHES. He saw School of Comedy before it was even commissioned for a series—"I always knew he was brilliant." And lmao the voice he puts on imitating him. And also "he just deserves it, because he's such a lovely boy." HE'S SUCH A LOVELY BOY. Bennn.

( Another Ben interview clip, a DAWN TREADER QUIZ with Skandar and Georgie, and some stuff about Georgie and Will P. on Blue Peter. )

Howww is this the first time I've written Ben/Skandar without a third (or fourth or fifth...) party?

Title: permanently black & blue (for you)
Author: likecharity
Pairing: Ben/Skandar
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Real person slash, accidental (and a little bit of purposeful) violence.
Summary: Skandar looks a little wide-eyed. "God," he says, "this is stupid. We don't seem to be able to come into physical contact anymore without causing each other serious damage."
A/N: Hurt/comfort(ish) with a tiny bit of pain!kink, based on the injuries Ben and Skandar gave each other during the filming of Dawn Treader. For moogle62 (without her rampant encouragement I might not have ended up finishing this). Title from 'Bruises' by Chairlift. Also, while I was writing this, the skin on the tip of my index finger cracked and it made it so painful to type. Which seemed sort of fitting.

( 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry,' Skandar groans, sword clattering down onto the floor by his side and alarming some of the props people. 'Are you okay?' )

Lol so occasionally people tell me they sometimes read things I've written purely because I've written them, even if it's not a pairing or idea or whatever that they would usually want to read. Which is still mind-bogglingly awesome to me, but um, I'M REALLY TESTING YOUR LOYALTY NOW AREN'T I. Sorry.

Also can we just take a moment to express some joy/amazement at the fact that in less than three weeks, I've written more than 20,000 words? THIS IS REALLY SHOCKING AND WONDERFUL.

Anyway, on with the weirdness:


Title: you still give me goosebumps
Author: likecharity
Pairing: Skandar/Tilda
Rating: (Very) hard R
Warnings: Real person het, giant age gap, sexual activity in a semi-public but deserted place...is anyone else sensing a trend? :/
Summary: Her expression is challenging, and at once, he hates her and adores her, can't tell if he wants to make her come because he loves her or just to prove that he can.
A/N: I actually don't feel that bad about this, I think I've been wanting to write this pairing for years. Also, I feel the need to share that I had my iTunes on shuffle while writing this, and it decided to play me a song called 'Lick The Witch'. NOT EVEN KIDDING. I decided against calling the fic that, though—the title is from 'Goosebumps' by Fujiya & Miyagi.

( He has a tenuous grasp on the scene, feeling as though it keeps slipping from his fingers every time she speaks. )

I was going to go to bed, but then my attention was brought to two videos of Skandar and Georgie petting lion cubs and I couldn't let that go unposted.

THEY ARE MY FAVOURITE KIND OF VIDEO, i.e. the casual kind where people are just being filmed and it's not all interview-y so you get to see how they genuinely interact. I'm a creep.


GEORGIE'S FLAPPY HANDS AFTER PETTING THE LION. AND HER "OH, 'ELLO!" AND HOW SHE IS ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR WEIGHT AND HEALTH. And when one of them yawns and Skandar is like *retracts hand*

( More. )

OKAY BEDTIME NOW. Dammit, Narnia fandom. (Ilu really.)
