[Fic] wherein Liz is bored and willing to write on command

[edenfalling]

I am bored and attempting to stay awake. I am also, alas, out of inspiration for all my WIPs. So am I asking for prompts!

Give me a character or ship PLUS a scenario | setting | mood | line of dialogue, and I will try to write you a three sentence ficlet.

ETA: Prompts are closed! Thank you to everyone who contributed. :-)

Re: [Fic] "Inconvenient Truths" -- Merlin/Chronicles of Narnia

Oh Arthur, you can be SUCH A PRICK. You always do queenly, gentle, firm Susan so well. Thank you so much, Liz. You've made a horrible day a little better. On to the next one! Susan is so good and playing on both the practical and the emotional to accomplish her ends. I wonder where Merlin has gotten to? Who is he hanging around with?

Arthur is a good person deep down, and he does generally mean well, but he's also impulsive and puts far too much weight on his father's values (by which I mean entitlement as well as hatred of magic), and that's not a good combination. Fortunately Susan can handle him. :-)

Merlin is currently on the northern border taking out his anger and frustration on the annual summer giant invasion attempt by day, and sweet-talking the hedge-witches of Vinyedvyeri into teaching him their lore by night. Peter and Lucy are very impressed. If he stays much longer, Princess Elena may try to introduce him to Baba Yaga...
