Narnia ficlet: Worlds and Time [Caspian/Edmund, general]
Title: Worlds and Time
Author: celandineb
Fandom: Narnia
Pairing: Caspian/Edmund
Rating: general
Length: 196 words
Summary: Caspian knows this must end, but he will enjoy it while he can.
Note: For piratesmile331 who wanted Edmund/Caspian, remarkable.
It was remarkable how contented Caspian felt, here on the Dawn Treader, searching for the seven lost lords. Five lords, now.
He knew in the back of his head that this could not last forever. Edmund might have lived for years and years in Narnia the first time he had come and reigned as king, but on his previous visit he had stayed less than a month before Aslan had returned him with his siblings to their own world.
Even if the unexpected happened and Edmund was able to remain until the end of this voyage and beyond, Caspian knew well that he would someday have to bow to necessity and wed. He had promised High King Peter that he would do so, would provide an heir of his body to be King of Narnia after he was gone.
But he had seven years yet in which to redeem that promise, and in the meantime Edmund was here, love for Caspian shining from him so clearly that Caspian wondered that everyone could not see it. And that, perhaps, was the most remarkable thing of all, that they had found each other across both worlds and time.
