Story Title: The Courting Dance
Fandom: Chronicles of Narnia
Link(s): story on AO3 (and here is the wonderful art!)
Summary: Marriage is a bit more complicated than quarreling and making it up again, especially for the crown prince of Archenland and an exiled Calormene Tarkheena.
Warnings: implied sex, discussion of prejudice against fictional cultures/ethnicities
Characters: Aravis, Cor, Hwin, Bree, Lune, Corin, Peridan, various OCs
Pairings: Aravis/Cor
When I Started: I wrote what I thought was a tiny oneshot back in February 2010, based on a prompt from the now defunct
15_minute_fic community. It was reasonably well received, so I wrote a small follow-up. Then it kind of spiraled.
How I Lost My Shit: Did I mention I started writing this as a oneshot? Yeah. I never had much of an outline and also romances are one of my weak points as a writer, so I kept drowning in worldbuilding, politics, and general uncertainty over how to get from point A to point Z. I got through the first half (the romance plot), wrote one chapter of the second half (the politics plot), and stalled out in 2012.
How I Finished My Shit: Deadline panic and guilt, basically. Which is how I usually roll, so no difference there. *sigh* But hey, finished is finished, and I will take it. :)
