She's from NARNI???!! WHAT IS THIS MADNESS???

What an awesome woman. I love that the women saints are appearing to help her make bread for the poor. Gosh, this would have been an awesome Yuletide prompt, you know?

This is all now head cannon.

I can't believe I've never even googled it before - LaRM even sent me a postcard from Narni!

Starbrow was positing Brocadelli as the original Lucy, and Pevensie as some kind of reincarnation, which, yes. I want this story.

You, Starbrow, and Larm are really joined at the brain. Something needs to be done about this.

YESSS SHARE THE LUCIA OF NARNI LOOOVE. I found this ages and ages ago, in my Narnia wikiwalking, and delighted for some time in telling people that there was a statue of St. Lucy in Narni. The fanfic possibilities had not occurred to me! And Lucy/crucifix! And saints making bread! Stuff I hadn't heard which is awesomely awesome.

Thanks for the Official Notice.
