His nap was short lived. The sound that wakened him practically brought him straight out of the chair. There it was again. A loud thump as one might hear from dropping a large box off a truck. And it came from inside his room. He looked about, then spotted something to convince him he WAS...

The old magician, if you asked him, could tell you stories about the days he travelled the vaudeville circuit and how once his assistant had forgotten to walk the sheep he was using in his onstage act, with obvious messy consequences. He had a booking on Christmas Eve, the same booking he'd...

This is the second of two lost stories I found from over a decade ago. Fortunately I had read the works aloud and still had the WAV files of a much younger me dictating to my older self. Again, this is a short story, and it is available nowhere else on TDL and hasn't been for over 12 years...

Aslan felt the click when the knife, wielded with such force, pierced his heart and hit a rib on the opposite side. Even in his final agony, he noticed how cold the stone felt against his warm body. Then the pain resurged as she rudely wrenched the knife from the wound. His legs stiffened for a...

Charlie remembered how his marine uniform made him feel like a real man, but he had never felt so much like a child in a man’s body as he did at that moment. As his landing craft approached the beach, he reached up with a trembling hand to feel of the crucifix that hung about his neck on his...

This is one of a few lost stories from over a decade ago that no longer exist on the forum. Yes, it is a Narnia story, and yes for you busy folks it is rather short. Please read and comment/like if you enjoyed this classic.

The purpose of this thread is to vie for truly crazy crossovers with Narnia. And that includes weirdly plausible ones that would never really happen. STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION Lieutenant Barkley went into the holodeck. "Load Barkley Wardrobe Alpha One." He looked rather foolish dressed in...

- 11 - COME TO THE TABLE Yannik shows up. What’s wrong Raum, you look as if you’ve seen a ghost! King Roderick said, “It looks more to me like he’s wondering who he stabbed to death last night…” “It was my one true friend, the friend my father warned me did not exist and whom I did not...

- 10 - UNEASY SLUMBER That night in Camp Beruna was very problematic. The tension was so great that one could almost cut it with a knife. This was especially true since the Calormenes and Hadrusians were in neighboring sites with only a few stakes and some thin twine marking the boundary...

- 9 - DIRKS AND DAGGERS The Royal Advisor to the Tisroc, went over to the Hadrusian pavilion, kettle in hand, and announced himself to the guards not as a high office holder but as Raum. "I should like to drink tea with my counterpart. With all due respect to Kings, Emperors and Princes...

- 8 - BANNERS AND ANTHEMS King Roderick was just settling in when the Hadrusian Foreign Minister Harlass brusquely approached him with the merest pretense of a bow and thrust a large tricolor flag in his face. "The colors of my country, Your Majesty. Red for the blood of our martyrs, gold...

- 7 - IN A BARREL At Camp Beruna no expense was spared to ensure the delegates would not only be safe but comfortable. After all, it was hard enough to be patient with political wrangling without a stiff back, thin soup and a cold shower. The pavilions were good enough for royalty (and some...

- 6 - CAMP BERUNA The Telmarine king Karrin and his coterie arrived at Camp Beruna, as the stockade was now openly called. Their flag, white above blue with a double-headed eagle clutching swords and arrows, flew next to the Lion Jack. The first Telmarines to visit Narnia had arrived in the...

- 5 - UNDER WRAPS During the night's camp, the Hadrusian Foreign Minister had brought back an ancient custom of absolute secrecy. As he spoke with the Captain of the Guard in his small tent, three guards marched around and around it far enough from the tent that nothing could be overheard...

- 4 - THE DRUM Long before the present crisis a solemn and sad sacrament played out in the Azure Room of Cair Paravel. There beneath a deep blue ceiling spangled with gold stars lay old King Edmund the Just. His eyes still shone brightly beneath the shock of white hair that stole his ebony...

- 3 - CAPITAL OF THE WORLD Beruna was one of those places that folk think they want to visit. It practically reeked of history and there were indeed places where it was a spiritual experience to stand and watch the sunrise and imagine the gleam of enemy lances and swords along Jadis' Ridge...

- 2 - THE MISSING FOUR Back in England, Chief Inspector Reede did not come across as the imaginative sort, so Professor Digory Kirke did not dare to speculate on why his young charges were missing. He stuck with the facts, careful to correct that "Pevensie" did not end in "ey". "The Lads"...

- 1 - THE WHITE STAG Out flew the web and floated wide The mirror crack'd from side to side "The curse is come upon me," cried The Lady of Shalott -- Alfred, Lord Tennyson It was a fine Autumn day that came in the summer of King Peter's life; dry, crisp and clear with a foretaste of fiery...

This is an alternate history of Narnia that asks the simple question -- what would have happened if the Pevensies had NOT returned to Earth at all? It is, in my own judgment, a very thought provoking look that takes its time and draws conclusions carefully. Feel free to agree or disagree in the...

At last, at last, the story has a conclusion, and it is more than I hoped for when I began this ambitious project. I will be posting it soon, after going through the last edits for flow and execution.
