    Summary

    They said she was beautiful.

    Black curls tumbling down shoulders, brown skin alight with a soft glow, lips redder than the dress she wore.

    They said she was Gentle.

    Gathering up the dying child in her arms, his head to her breast, his broken body to her skirts, the prayer from her shaking mouth settling over the both of them like a shroud.

    Summary

    It was her younger brother who came to her in her dreams.

    This much, strangely, made sense to Susan. What could Peter, golden, glowing Peter, say to her? How could Lucy, whose faith had never faltered, know the words Susan longed to hear?

    Only Edmund knew. In some ways, Susan thought, only Edmund could ever know.

    And so, it's Edmund who sat in front of her, night after night. Edmund, with his dark hair, so much like hers, highlighted by the moon.

    Summary

    "She knows then that Peter will not fight, not appeal Aslan’s banishment. He will self-flagellate over the decision, certainly, stay awake at night blaming himself and wracking his brains as to how he could have been better, how he could have been allowed to assume his throne once again, but he will not say anything now. He’s accepted it, humbly and quietly, the way that he thinks a King should.

    But Susan is not humble or quiet or a King. She does not take things like this at face value, without fighting back. And now, because of that, for the first time in her life, Susan is alone."

     

    Or, a study of Susan Pevensie and her complicated relationship with loneliness.

    Summary

    Lucy could play pretend in the countryside with the Professor and Miss Plummer and Peter and apparently Edmund, who Lucy had said was meeting him in London where they could easily get Susan before they met up with Eustace and Jill at the junction and on to Professor Kirke's— What fun, all the Friends of Narnia in one place, and just after they all thought they'd seen a Narnian.

    Well, I wouldn't go again, not for the richest jewel in all Narnia, Susan decided. One goes where one's invited, and Susan was going to a party.

    Summary

    When Aslan told Susan and Peter they could not return to Narnia, he told them they must learn to live in the world of their birth. Susan tried, even when the only way she could do it was to deny Narnia entirely.

    Once she's the only one left, she keeps on trying, and discovers far more in the process.

    Summary

    Edmund has never been one to sit still and wait on whatever may come, to leave the solving of problems up to chance. And Susan's absence from Aslan's Country is a problem, to him if no one else.

    Did he say problem? Torment, perhaps, would be a more accurate word for it, and one's observations must always be accurate.

    Summary

    The first lipstick Susan buys is a soft pale pink, like the leaves on the trees habited by the dryads in Narnia. The one she buys next is red and rusty like the blood of the battle raging within her.

    Summary

    "Susan crossed the room, picking up the brilliant red lipstick that sat on her vanity and turning it over in her hands. She set it down abruptly. It was not armor enough to protect her from the ache in her soul. She might be able to hide it from her friends—accept their consolations and turn the conversation to another topic—but she couldn’t hide from herself."

    Haunted by the memory of her siblings, Susan finds an account of the events of the Silver Chair and is forced to consider which of them was really avoiding reality in games.

    Summary

    “Sir,” said Tirian, when he had greeted all these. “If I have read the chronicle aright, there should be another. Has not Your Majesty two sisters? Where is Queen Susan?”
    “Her majesty Susan,” answered Aslan gravely, his eyes heavy. “Has work left yet in the land she now calls home.”
    “So she will come to us eventually?” Queen Lucy’s voice showed her worry and grief over her sister.
    “Yes dear one. It may be a while, but she will eventually join us here in my country.”

    Summary

    Pepper believed in peace. She believed in it fiercely enough to run a flaming sword through War herself (though War's laugh haunted her dreams, and she was sure the woman wasn't as gone as everyone thought, not with all the new wars (small w) kicking off all over the place) and she wanted to make peace happen. Somehow. Which was how she had ended up studying politics at college, after having been given a crash course in effective letter writing by old Mr Tyler throughout her teens.

    Summary

    It's a normal day in the True Narnia equivalent of Cair Paravel.
    The sun is shining, the waves are softly caressing the sandy shores of the coast, the non-talking birds merrily flying with the wind...
    And well, of course Susan is panicking at the idea of being useless and Edmund is actively trying to hide the love letters that everybody knows he receives, but the castle is being cleaned up and there are laughs and songs in the air.

    And Peter screaming, too. Or that might be his ten-months old niece, difficult to say.

    King Rilian is coming back from his travels to the West, and everything is going as smoothly as it can go when the Pevensie are involved.
    Which means not a lot.

    Caspian almost wishes his son could stay away a little longer.
