Narnia fandom is still very odd to me -- it's almost like two different fandoms that only overlap in a few places, and that have drastically different ideas about what they're doing when they write fanfic. :-/ Anyway, I don't really write sex myself, but that's because it's not something I am interested in as a writer, not because I find it in any way morally repugnant. And nobody deserves sexual abuse. Seriously, what do people have against Susan anyway??? I mean, all we really know is that she wasn't with her family at the dinner and on the train, and that the three people who know her least well (Polly, Jill, Eustace) dislike her surface actions. That doesn't make her evil. And the people who are furious that she was exiled from heaven... well, of course she's not in Aslan's country. She's not dead. *headdesk* But I am getting off topic.
I quite like Edmund as a spymaster, if only because I think he probably came away from Jadis with a sudden interest in understanding nuances and motives so he wouldn't get fooled and slip up again, and so he could see when other people were leaning in unfortunate directions. As for any mystical repercussions, well, I like the way both the Disney film and the BBC miniseries have Jadis's broken wand cause Edmund's mortal wound. IIRC, Lewis never said anything about one way or the other, but it seems sort of karmically just to me. I suppose I always figured that was more or less the end of any supernatural connection between them, though, especially after Aslan died in Edmund's place and Lucy used her cordial to heal him. I can quite see him carrying Jadis as a psychological weight, of course; in fact, I can't see how he could avoid doing so. *hugs him*
