Okay, so I wrote a novel titled Carpetbaggers, about the Pevensies settling into Narnia.

I've always wondered what happened to them between times. Peter was more than old enough to get married and have kids.

Yeah, that's something I need to deal with. I suspect there's a lot of arguing about the succession, and politics. Because in reality they would have wanted to secure the succession; on the other hand it probably wouldn't have occurred to them that all four of them would be lost simultaneously. And they were quite young, still, so what was the rush?
There's a certain school of thought in Narnia fandom, that the novels are not entirely reliable: basically that they are fairy-tale/children's story versions of something that was rather more difficult and complicated. Lewis never mentions the succession, and in fact really elides dealing with the fact that they left Narnia leaderless and possibly unprotected.
Pioneers doesn't really work, and Outlander is too much Diana Gabaldon's now. Expatriates, maybe, but I wouldn't mind something conveying people settling in and committing to the new place. Colonist doesn't work, either, though. Hmmm.

I know too much medieval history, I keep thinking of suitors vying for Susan's hand and whether Edmund would have been really trusted.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I keep looking for nouns around either "gentrification" or "going native" and not coming up with much, but maybe it will inspire a thought in someone else?

I may have to give up and go with something unrelated. I was thinking of: Vert, Lion Rampant Gules. Which I figure 90% of the fandom won't get. And doesn't have the kind of meaning "Carpetbaggers" conveys. Hmm.

Foreigners? Nisei? Again not right but maybe will suggest something to someone.
