I really liked this. It's beautifully written and the bittersweet quality to their memories really articulates what makes the Narnia stories both beautiful and sad for me.

Thanks - I'm so glad you enjoyed it. And particularly the the bittersweetness came across for you.

This is absolutely beautiful! I can so easily see it -- you did an amazing job. And you made me tear up. :)

Thanks so much - it's always a thrill to know that something I've written has had such an effect.

This is lovely and wistful and captures each of them really well, I think.

Thanks! They're really quite fascinating characters to explore, so I'm glad you think I've captured them.

I'm glad it was a pleasant surprise. That's the nice thing about the NYR fics - little Christmas gifts all through the year!

I haven't read nearly enough Narnia fanfic. This is perfect. As a reader, I'm craving more knowledge of them after their return - obviously they've been changed immensely, yet put back in a situation that hasn't changed at all. You've done a terrific job with the characters. Hell, this could easily be a novel with all of the territory to cover!

But it's nice as it is, as well.

There are so many areas to explore - that's one of the beauties of the books, from a fanfiction point of view. All the years in between (we only get details of a tiny fraction of the Pevensies' first visit to Narnia), the years to come in the New Narnia - so much to play with!

Thanks for the lovely feedback!
