Narnia: Memory of Heaven by corbeaun (Edmund, Lucy)
It's easy to forget that The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe takes place during World War II and the London Blitz. corbeaun's Memory of Heaven remembers. Neither of Edmund's worlds really exists independent of the other -- the one bleeds into and infects the other, and his actions and their consequences are not so easily shakeable simply because he is living a new life.
The story is very short, more of a vignette really, but it's exactly right, exactly what Edmund must be, given the historical context of the book and what we know of him. Even Lucy is finely drawn, in just the perfect amount of words -- perfectly chosen words. The whole thing is sort of breathtaking.
