Oh, that was gorgeous! I absolutely loved it. :D

That was beautiful. I love seeing Healer-Susan, it's a wonderful contradiction to Bad-ass Susan...now someone just needs to write a story where she's playing doctor with Caspian. She goes to help him after his aunt shoots him, but we don't actually get to see anything. :( I think it could be such a sweet moment between them.

There are actually a flurry of Susan-treating Caspian post-castle raid in a few of the earlier entries of the community. That's how I discovered the community actually when I first started the ship. :D So feel free to wander in the archives to see for some of those wonderful pieces.

The idea is that it's not Telmarine=mean, Narnians=nice. That things aren't so black and white. Susan's alluring to how traitors play roles in war. As was Edmund's role during their war with the White Witch, and how the soldier that they've captured might play the role in this war.
And I tried to underline the subtle acknowledgment that Caspian is a sort of traitor himself.

But yes, I agree, it's difficult to pan these out in a short fic. I wrote this one at 3 am when I was arguably half asleep but protested going to bed.

Ah, okay. That clears it up. :p Thanks for reading and you're right. I won't be having many 3 amers!

Very good. I loved the little illustions you put in there, with showing how war really is. Its not just about winning and killing, there is a strategy that doesn't involve violence. I know the feeling the writing fics when your half asleep, ive done and posted in the middle of sleep too.

I think you've given me inspiration to write a short fic of my own, but it must wait for there are essay finals i must complete first. I hate college, especially finals.

Hope you write the fic! :D Can't wait to read it. Good luck on your college finals though. I just got mine done so I sympathize. Ick!
