    When Susan was twenty-three, two years after her world was shattered by the loss of her family, she’d stepped through a door into a world at once foreign and familiar to her senses.

    Summary

    “My uncle sent soldiers to kill me in my sleep. It is…difficult,” Caspian admits, brushing his thumb across the skin of Peter’s inner wrist, feeling him jump and shudder faintly, “to sleep there. When I remember.”

    “You’re going to have to eventually,” Peter says, because even now it seems he retains his irritating habit of saying inconveniently truthful things, things Caspian wishes not to confront on his own. It’s another one of the things Caspian misses about him, along with his courage, his insight, his smile.

    “I know,” he whispers, because he does. “But this is a dream.”

    (or, caspian mourns, and caspian wishes, and caspian dreams.)

    Summary

    “Truth be told, I think I may be better suited as a scholar than a soldier,” Caspian sighs, picking at the freshly-administered bandages across his palm.

    “Maybe that’s why I’m here, then,” Peter finds himself saying. Caspian’s fingers still, and he looks up at Peter questioningly. “I’ve never been the best student in the bunch, you might say.” He gets by well enough, but he’s always thought quicker with a blade in his hand. Sometimes it’s more like breathing than thinking, that’s how easy it is. Drawing Rhindon beneath what’s left of Cair Paravel was like waking up without realizing he’s been half asleep all along.

    “I am glad,” Caspian says suddenly, not quite meeting his eye, “that the horn brought you here.” He pauses before adding, “All of you.”

    Here is a secret, though poorly kept: Peter’s glad, too.

    (or, peter pevensie, on wanting, and losing, and sometimes on having.)

    Summary

    “Don’t be too hard on him,” Edmund starts. “You’d’ve done the same thing for any of us.”

    “It’s different,” Peter says, and regrets it at once. The best and only way to avoid losing an argument with Edmund (if, indeed, an argument is what this is—Peter’s not quite sure yet) is not to talk at all. 

    Bluntly, his brother says, “You should tell him.”

    And all at once, Peter’s tired. Lion’s mane, he’s so tired. He’s weary right down to his bones. “Tell him what, Edmund?”

    (or, five times someone noticed peter’s feelings for caspian, and one time caspian noticed his own.)

    Summary

    “Can't you talk to him?” she suggests, more than a little irritated at her brother’s seeming nonchalance. Peter is burning himself out like a candle or a fuse before their eyes, and yet Edmund steps in time and again to help him out of every mess he throws himself into. It’s upsetting Lucy. It’s frightening Mum.

    And maybe, just maybe, it’s frightening Susan, too.

    “You think I haven’t tried?” Edmund scoffs, and there’s something terribly resigned about his tone, his posture, the way he looks at her tiredly, then, across the board.

    “We can’t let him keep doing this, Ed.”

    “We’re not letting him do anything,” Edmund says. “It’s Pete. You know that.”

    (or, susan, and all the ways she sees her brother; all the things he cannot hide.)
