This is really pretty! There's just a nice smidgen of Eustace/Jill and they're so adorable and awkward, it's wonderful. :D I love how the first song (the one Puddleglum sang) fits so well with the Pevensies (you just had to throw in some Pevensie!angst, didn't you?). And the way Jill can't entirely remember everything and it all just comes and goes, very very nice.

Also, the tiny bit about the Pevensies? Awesome. :D

I love how Jill sees Narnia so differently from the rest of them, even from Eustace, who isn't OF Narnia in the same way the Pevensies are.

Also, Lucy is a tornado in the kitchen!

Beta bias ahoy!

It was fun to read it again, and I still really like the end!

This is so sweet, in its own kind of gross kind of sad kind of funny way :) I love the characters' voices, Eustace's especially; you reconcile his stodginess with his Sudden Change of Heart in VoDT to create a character that's still so Eustace but still touched by Narnia.

I loved the little glimpses of our heroes the Pevensies in all their screwed up Englandness, and best of all the perspective of an outsider - not someone who sees all the many layers of fucked up but just some weird people clearly dealing with anxiety in whatever ways they can. And insular, too.

all in all I really like :D keep up the awesome, incredibly solid writing!

The thing I love about this (well, and really most all your writing) is how you don't forget the real-day business of things even as you write epics. the illness here was gross and yet Eustace's reactions to it real, not to sweet or too sour, and the conversation floated from point to point as they do in life. And your have more Narnian songs! These always make me so happy, which is good because, your pensvies from an outside perspective are so sad (but real.)

Keep up the amazing work!
