Narnia drabble: Can't Be Cured [Peter, general]
Title: Can't Be Cured Author: celandineb Fandom: Narnia Character: Peter Rating: general Summary: It was difficult enough once. Note: For realpestilence who wanted Peter, endurance.
Peter had fought the Wolf; marched to war against the Giants; negotiated the disparate views of his counsellors. He had even survived seemingly interminable state dinners to honour ambassadors from Archenland and Calormen, mastering the art of appearing polite and attentive when he longed to retire to the privacy of his rooms.
Yet nothing in his years as High King tried Peter's endurance as much as his return to England; suddenly reduced to being a schoolboy once more, he found it a bitter cup to drink. At times he wondered how he would survive growing up not once, but twice.
