Here's the first of the few collection of drabbles I had written for the LJ community for Susan/Caspian fans.

She was never all that fond of the color white.
It was dull, really and never brought her out of any foul mood like the way a red rose or her bright green sweater did.
No. White was white. Just white.
It was the color of her uniform, so easily stained and volatile. It was the color of her socks, dull and only made to do its job. White was the color of her face when she realized she hadn't been outside in the sun enough because of weather and wars. There was no richness in the color white, and it held no meaning to her.
In the Golden Age, she never had to wear any white at all. Her favorite gowns were of gold velvets and rich, ruby reds. Lucy often commented on how turquoise brought out her eyes, and it was not unlikely that Susan often chose a turquoise gown on the days that royal visitors came to Cair Paravel for that very reason. If she ever had any white robes (and she swears she never did) then she rarely ever wore, or even glanced at them to notice.
In the Golden Age, she consciously (and subconsciously) rejected anything white.
But she stands before the concession in the courtyard of the Telmarine castle this day. A sea of bright and happy faces all faced her, and a nice breeze flowed through her curls. Before her, Caspian stands with the happiest smile she had never seen on his face, robed in his best dress. Peter and Edmund stood behind Caspian with expressions that could have been compared to rabbits sucking on a lemons.
Caspian watched her every move, and a full body of white reflected in his charmingly dark eyes. But beyond that, his eyes held love and complete adoration. The boyish grin he wore melted her heart more than if the sun glared down on her for days. She faintly heard Aslan rumble final words, and the crowd erupted in an enormous cheer as multi-colored pieces of confetti were thrown (none of which were colored white).
King Caspian X of Narnia leaned down and kissed his newly wedded wife (and officially his Queen) donned in an extravagant wedding dress, and Susan could swear that she was always quite fond of the color white.
