Author's Notes:

Well... here's a special little something I've been working on for a few days now, on every spare moment I can find.

This piece has a special significance for me as it is my own interpretation of how I would feel if I ever were to be in the presence of Jesus or God: the meeting of the mortal and the divine, the lamb and the shepherd ( Read more... )

LIEK WOAH. Late reply is late! Urgh... sorry 'bout that.

You've no idea how much I love your comments, hun.

Oh thank you <3. I only know I've never read any fics of Caspian and his Nurse which, in my opinion was an extremely important event in our dear prince's life. And I'm glad they both came out all right and (hopefully) believable. And on the Nurse, I suppose she served as his motherly figure and at the same time as the friendly care-taker in whom Caspian could always hope to talk freely with.

This little interaction was an excuse to write my own vision of Aslan's character *coughJesuscough* after The Chronicles restored my faith, and that is one of the reasons why these books are so dear to me.
I'd also never written much on Aslan and that's basically sacrilege on my part as a Narnia fan *gasp!* :0

And the idea of Aslan appearing before in dreams wrote itself, I swear. It just... happened. Hmm... but I'm glad you liked that :D!

Believe me, at first I was going to have Nurse describe each remaining Pevensie but I felt that would detract from the heart of the story, but don't worry hun, perhaps in further chapters of Till Kingdom Come there's be a brief mention of Susan, and I've no doubt Caspian will be enthralled, hee hee.

Thank you! I'll soon post the Prologue of the story, so I'm counting on you as a reader ;).

Cheers!

I've never been a huge religious person in the sense that I have one basic faith. A whole myriad of religions interest me and Christianity is such an complex religion.

Sacrilege? Lol, I'm always so afraid to write Aslan, because he's almost so untouchable. How do I get into the mind of JESUS? It's just.... I've only ever written Aslan successfully once and that was at the very end of Sleeping, Sleeping and he only says one thing.

Can't wait for the fic! =]

It is, it is a very complicated religion, but really, which one isn't? I've taken to read Lewis' thoughts on Christianity as he was in the same situation as I am: a believer turned atheist turned believer again (let us blame Tolkien here on Lewis' case and Lewis on mine :p) to see if I can learn more and enrich my views from his. Of course it's just TOO much sometimes o_0. I have the view that I can have religion as a basis for designing my views and morals but not have live my life as if following guidelines or not to let religion (or the interpretations of others) affect my lifestyle. Myabe that way I can find a point in common with atheists or practitioners of other religions and learn tolerance so ad to avoid pointless conflicts which won't be resolved easily or fast or ever :/. But yes, there are very interesting points in other religions which, because of my faith, I won't set them aside or insult them without first knowing about them... tsk tsk.

Aslan is scary! And so hard! You see I didn't even write Aslan Himself talking, that's way beyond my level still XD.
Oh I remember "Sleeping, Sleeping", I actually owe you a comic format of it ._.;; and a drabble giftie but man, school's been eating my hours! Curse Math and Physiscs to Tash >.<
But back to "Sleeping, Sleeping" I thought your Aslan, despite short was Aslan, gentle, magnificient, understanding, and loving. And that just made the story awesome. Besides CaSue babies :D!!
