I've put our TFPoaBE characters' names into an incorrect quotes generator and here are some of my favorites:

My dormitory had a paint night last night so I went with a TFPoaBE theme 😁

(Margaret is Red's name in the OC version of the story found on Quotev)

I plan to do one for each of the siblings if there are more paint nights! I think I'll do Peter next 🥰

Finally had the courage to make this public lol. Here’s my TFPoaBE playlist, up to date!

“this is a one shot” i say, as it grows over 5 pages long and passes a word count of 2k

Headcanon: When Caspian finds Lucy, Edmund & Eustace it’s because he’s been following Red’s compass & when they got to this (seemingly random) patch of sea it started spinning like crazy & he told everyone to look around to try & see why, that’s when they noticed 3 overboard. Also it’s likely they didn’t need directions to Argoth’s place cuz the compass had found a direction & was pointing them there.

Ooh yes!

I can just picture Caspian, staring longingly at the compass, thinking of Red like the sad, romantic puppy he is, when suddenly it starts spinning.

Also 100% if he had just looked at the compass, then he wouldn’t have had to threaten Argoth (Although, then Edmund wouldn’t have shaken the diary off of him and Red would have been sad to lose it)

But the poor guy was so worried for Red that he didn’t even stop to think about the compass. I’m convinced that Aslan allotted the Narnian royals one (1) brain cell to share amongst them all, and Red was using it to plot her escape at that exact moment.

U mentioned how Red’s compass has scarcely left Caspian’s person since they parted ways & I can already imagine him holding it in times of uncertainty, or when he misses her & hoping it would stop gently spinning & give him a direction. Until one day, after peace has been made & there looks to be no more battles to fight & he glances down at his belt & notices the compass has stopped moving. It’s picked a direction. He all but abandons the whatever he was doing & just starts haphazardly 1/2

2/2 sprinting that way, almost running into things & people & almost running right off the edge of the land, into the sea. He’s being pointed to the ocean, the arrow unwavering. Now he’s stuck. He can’t just abandon Narnia, even if destiny or Aslan or his heart is telling him to. He tells them to prepare ships, tho he can’t say why & the arrow doesn’t falter. Then he looks on a map of where he’s being lead & sees the Lone Islands & remembers the 7 lords. He hopes to find more than just them.

So this made me think - What if Caspian wrote letters to Red like she wrote to him?

"I have kept your compass near at all times. It's as if I might bring you to Narnia again... I have oft considered taking up Queen Susan's Horn so that I may make some attempt to call you back to me, but something in my heart warns me against it. Perhaps Aslan Himself..."

"The compass has set me on a path to the North, where Giants await. May Aslan watch over me, I do not know what shall await us there."

"The giants of the North surrendered, my love. With no conditions or demands, I might add. Truly, Aslan was watching over us. I count the days until I may see you again. I hope it shall be in my lifetime, and that I shall not have to wait until we meet in Aslan’s Country."

"The compass points south, now. The Calormenes whom you defeated in your Golden Age have grown brazen once more, all these centuries later. Perhaps they have forgotten their fear of the Red Lady, but I have spoken with the King of Archenland, and we have made plans to stop the approach across the desert."

"We defeated the Calormen army, dear (Y/N). I brought your cloak along to battle, both as a symbol of the previous victory over them... and, I must admit, to give myself the feeling that you were there alongside me."

"There is peace now, my love. There has been for some time... But it seems that there is more required of me, in the East, for yesterday, the compass ceased to spin. We have begun work on a ship, and we shall follow wherever the compass leads. I can only pray that I will find you there... Perhaps I am meant to find the Seven Lost Lords. Perhaps I am simply meant to sail. And so I shall sail, until I am where I am meant to be."
