Peter Pan: The Screaming of Coneys by lah
The Screaming of Coneys (Hook/Peter | PG13 | 1,760 words) is James Hook and his thoughts with some decidely creepy sexual undertones. When examined closely, Neverland is a rather fucked-up place, and this story examines it with a deft hand.
Excerpt:
What sort of a man is he, James thinks as he reaches over to pick at the carcass of a roasted coney; what sort of a man doesn't know his own past? A man who's not real, someone inside him shrieks, *a man like the sunsets and the false seas.*
In a fit of petulance (also undignified for a man of his rank), James rips off a hind leg and throws it against the cabin wall; it echoes with a thud and drowns out the music for a moment.
It's all Pan's fault, somehow -- Peter Pan and his band of brats, who fly in strange formations like a gaggle of scraggly geese. James orders his men to shoot them out of the sky, but their guns have grown old and slow in the eternal lazy heat, and the boys scatter before their bullets reach them.
