Anonymous said: Could you pls write somethin where Edmund spots the reader, a commoner in the crowd during his coronation and is stunned by her beauty and has to find her and they get to know each other and he feels like he’s known her in another life and he marries her, making her a queen of Narnia despite her common birth and later when he returns home from Narnia, he realizes that she is the shy girl in the back of his English class that he had a crush on but was too nervous to speak to and fluff? Thanks! (:
~Awesome prompt! Here it is, lovely anon💙Third person~
“Edmund, do you remember?”
The two adolescents sat on the swinging bench outside, hands intertwined and eyes fixed on the English sunset. Edmund tilted his head questioningly. “I mean, do you remember everything about our adventures in Narnia?” Y/n continued hurriedly. Edmund took a sharp breath, turning to look his girlfriend in the eyes. “I remember what mattered.”
They sat in silence for a moment, looking at each other knowingly. “Can you…tell me? What you remember? It’s just-” Y/n paused for a second, staring into the sunset again. “I’m afraid I’ll forget.” She rested her head on Edmund’s shoulder, nuzzling into his jacket.
“If I think it really hard, do you think it will transfer to your brain? So you can picture it?” He asked, smiling down at her. She closed her eyes.“It’s worth a shot.”
“To the great Western Woods, King Edmund the Just.”
Applause rang through the hall as the youngest King of Narnia was crowned. This was a day of celebration, a day of victory. Narnia finally found their Kings and Queens. But not all were celebrating.
Yes, Edmund was excited to rule, but at that moment he only had eyes for her. Her. The commoner girl who he had been staring at for the past 5 minutes. Not only was she most beautiful, but her eyes intrigued the young King. They seemed to show an enormous amount of emotion. She reminded him of someone, though he knew not who.
The girl hadn’t yet noticed Edmund staring at her, for she was fixed on the room itself. Even Edmund, who had never seen such a magnificent hall before, was not nearly as amazed by it as she was. She looked like she was inspecting every corner.
“Ed?” He jolted his head to the side in shock, meeting Lucy face-to face. “Edmund, we’re supposed to stand up again.”
“Oh, sorry Lu.” Edmund hastily rose from his throne, picking up his robes carefully. He heard a small giggle from the audience. It was her. She was looking at him. Of course, Edmund wasn’t paying any more attention to the coronation. He had to speak with this girl.
Immediately after the ceremony came to an end, Edmund sought out to find her.
“Hello.” He spun around quickly, eyes wide with shock as he saw her in front of him. “H-hi.” She smiled, turning her head away shyly as she spoke again. “You were staring at me.” She muttered. Edmund turned completely red, laughing awkwardly. “Um…sorry. You’re just very beautiful, that’s all.” She smiled again.
“I’m Y/n, your majesty.” Edmund bowed his head, grinning up at her.
“Do you remember the day I-”
“Yes.” Y/n interrupted, already knowing the scene Edmund was picturing. “That was one of the best days I can remember in Narnia.” She sat up a little, looking him in the eyes one more.
“Go on, imagine it. We’ll both remember that day at the exact same moment, and then it will be like it’s happening all over again.”
“Ed! Edmund, that tickles!” Y/n was sitting in a tree in the Western Woods, laughing and avoiding the stick Edmund was prodding her with. “You can’t stay up there forever.” she smirked, laughing again. “Watch me.”
Edmund dropped the branch and began his attempt to climb up the tree. “We’ve known each other since you were crowned all those years ago, and never once have you climbed up here with me. You won’t be able to do it now.” Y/n mocked. Edmund raised an eyebrow.
She shrieked as he raised himself onto the branch she was sitting on and leaned into the trunk proudly. “Why haven’t you done that before?” Y/n asked incredulously. Edmund shrugged. “I was waiting for the right moment.”
With that, the King fumbled around in his pocket and pulled out a ring made of pure gold. “I’m sure you already know what I’m about to ask you, so I may as well just stay qui-” Edmund was interrupted by a pair of lips on his.
“Y/n, do you know why I chose you? You out of everyone else at the coronation that afternoon?” Y/n shook her head, placing it back on Edmund’s shoulder with a yawn. “I’ve done enough imagining for one day. You can tell me tomorrow.”
Edmund laughed and shook her gently. “There is no such thing as too much imagination.” She rolled her eyes, smiling and closing them again. “Y/n, I’m going to show you the reason I fell in love with you in Narnia.” She shook her head again, eyes still shut. “You can’t force me to imagine something.”
“No, but I think you want to this time.”
Y/n raised her head slowly.
There she was. In the very last seat in the very last row.
“No.” Edmund muttered under his breath, walking into the classroom. “No, it can’t be.”
“Mr. Pevensie, may I ask you to take your seat?” Edmund looked over to the blackboard to see a very old and very stern English teacher. He smiled. He remembered this woman. He didn’t remember very much, after all, he had just returned to the real world a little over three weeks ago.
But he remembered this class because of his…well, his wife. The shy, small little girl he had always liked but never had the guts to talk to. His wife.
And there she was. It was bizarre seeing the woman you fell in love with, the woman you married, the woman you spent your life with even, again as a child. In an instant, the two locked eyes. And for the first time, Edmund saw the 11 year old version of Y/n smile.
“I liked remembering that. That was nice.” Y/n said, smiling softly. Edmund kissed her on the forehead. “You see? Narnia isn’t gone forever; we have it in our memories.”
The church bells rang gently from afar, signaling that it was midnight. Y/n nodded, locking their eyes yet again. “Even if we didn’t have Narnia, we still have each other.” Edmund wrapped his arms around her figure, smiling into her hair.
