FIC LINK: Carpetbaggers
AUTHOR LINK: cofax
RATING/WARNING(S): T, movie-level violence

MAIN CHARACTERS: Peter Pevensie, Edmund Pevensie, Susan Pevensie, Lucy Pevensie

FIC SUMMARY: After the coronation festivities, the real work begins.

RECCER'S NOTES:

An amazing, lengthy story of journeys and adventure, set just after the Pevensies are crowned. The politics detailed in this fic are amazing and well thought out - the adventures are dangerous and exciting, and the characterisation is wonderful. The original characters are fantastic, and Narnia is wonderfully detailed.

The Pevensies themselves are brilliant - intelligent, brave, but flawed. They struggle to make sense of their new duties at times, but not once shy away from them. All of them have shining moments in this fic - I can't choose a favourite; I love them all.

Thanks for posting this rec. I hadn't seen this story, and it's turning out to be very enjoyable.

It's also on AO3, which I find more user-friendly than FFN. Carpetbaggers by Cofax on AO3.

You're welcome! ♥ Thanks for posting the extra link; I hadn't thought to check AO3 for some reason! :/

Agreed - this is a brilliant presentation of post-coronation Narnia.
