Here's another Narnia drabble. I might end up making a series of them.


Narnia never lets him forget. Edmund is bombarded daily by reminders of people he has known and things he has done, even the train pulling into the station reminds him of the crash and chaos of battles fought. He clings to these memories as a lifeline and searches every day for echoes in his old world of the beauty and grace and wisdom of the life that was ripped away. He wishes for Peter's effortless strength or Lucy's joyful faith or even Susan's ignorant peace but he holds on as best he can, certain deep in his heart that Aslan will invite them all home someday.

Oh, Edmund. You break my heart.

Likewise: Oh, liptonrm. You break my heart.

My work here is done. ;-)

I have my Narnia sekrit pretend world, as one does, and you know what? I've put so much thought into my Mary Sue that she now feels as canon to me as the actual books. There's something a little scary about that ...

Why does that make me think of Frodo?

Oh, absolutely, me too. There are so many different kinds of loss but they all seem to have the same affect, a gaping hole in one's life.

Edmund = grace won through such difficult strife.

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Is it any wonder he's my favorite?

See - this is the one I missed. And - as in the movie - Edmund is the one who touches my heart most deeply, for I can find myself in him. Thank you for the whole series. Would you allow that I wrote a rec in my LJ?

When I was very young I thought of myself as Lucy but as I've gotten older I see more and more of myself in Edmund. My dear, dear boy.

Of course you can rec these, I would be deeply honored. I actually have them all compiled together over at FF.net as Once and Again (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2862835/1/).
