Chronicles of Narnia

a call rattling in her bones by dirgewithoutmusic. Gen. AO3. 2014.

"You’ve all grown so much," their mother says.

a savage place by athoughtfox. Gen. AO3. 2020.

Time is long and wearing, and this is the story the Old Narnians have forgotten. That Susan’s soft fingers had stung under the tautness of her bowstring, the first time she’d pulled it back to kill. That Peter had wept beside the corpse of the wolf. That Aslan’s maw had been red and sticky, and that the Witch had been beautiful, in her cold way.

Aslan's Blessing by jejeje117. Gen. AO3. 2020.

Narnia is a powerful place, as is the blessing of Aslan. Over the course of their reign, the High Kings and Queens had grown wilder and wilder. Returning to England had not rid them of the influence, only given them incentive to hide it. Susan had forgotten, had lost it, but it had not forgotten her.

Beauty by LindaMarie. Gen. SL. 2009.

Susan does what she has to do.

Being Undragoned by Quecksilver_Eyes. Gen. AO3. 2018.

When Eustace was just an English boy and not Cousin to Kings and Queens, he had teeth like a shark.

cutting growths by Quecksilver_Eyes. Gen. Poetry. AO3. 2021.

your nails are weak, and dull. your stomach lies, clawed open and empty, under the stretch of your ribs. come, child. press a hand against your chest. can you feel your heart beating still?

dragon-turnt by Quecksilver_Eyes. Gen. Poetry. AO3. 2020.

Are your bones still hollow? What about your skin, dear; / starry nights stretched across you? / your breath; coiled hot / and heavy / somewhere in the pit of your stomach.

edmund pevensie lives again by andthentheybow. Gen, Edmund/Caspian. AO3. 2023.

There are whispers about Edmund Pevensie in the hallways: about how volatile he is, about his fierce loyalty to his siblings, about his disinterest in most things that don’t involve subtle politics or swordfighting. His teachers think he’ll make an excellent diplomat; his siblings know he already has. The Pevensies do not suddenly become children again, after Narnia, least of all Edmund. When they return to the ancient lands, they are something far older than the ghosts whose shoes they fill. Or rather, try to fill. They’re smaller now, after all. It doesn’t matter. They’ll grow again.

English Oak by Quecksilver_Eyes. Gen. AO3. 2017.

Lucy goes back to school wearing human skin and stumbling through a language only her child tongue can remember. She talks to the oak tree.

Girls Grow Quicker Than Books by Kyra Cullinan. Gen. SL. 2009.

"Years later, the smell of mothballs will make her feel like crying."

it's not bedbugs by AngelCuttingOnions. Gen. AO3. 2023.

Eustace’s brain got fucked up from being a dragon, basically.

Lamp post by Thistlerose. Podfic by argentumlupine. Gen. Angst. AO3. 2011.

She feels a pang every time she passes a lamp post.

Nachwehen by Quecksilver_Eyes. Gen. Poetry. AO3. 2020.

my teeth are dulled now / my claws soft nails / my lashes are wet now / and the air is heavy in my lungs

National Service by burntcopper. Gen. AO3. 2011 - 2015.

Soldiering is soldiering, even when you're using a gun rather than a sword. And they're underestimating you because of your age.

season of mists by athoughtfox. Gen. Angst. AO3. 2021.

All that week, she launders school uniforms, searches out pens and books, packs cases. The children move around the house like projections: perfect, moving, talking copies of themselves. She watches them, trying to feel for the thing she is missing, like the last step in the dark. For if you leave a child unwatched and unguarded, the fair folk will come and snatch them away to dance forever in their rings, and in your cradle they will leave one of their own.

Settle Our Bones Like Wood, Over Time by allonsy_gabriel. Gen. AO3. 2022.

Edmund spends that first day with his fists balled so tightly that his nails break the skin of his palms.

Shedding Skin by queenlucythevaliant. Gen. TB. 2022.

In the moments after Eustace and his cousins stumbled back into Lucy’s guest room, he became uncomfortably aware that everything was different.

South for the Winter (or 6 times Eustace was not and 1 time he was) by Aoepathfinder. Gen. 6 + 1. AO3. 2022.

When his cousins came back from the country, people whispered about the fair folk and their changelings. When Eustace came back, people said he came back wrong.

the pevensies as observed by others by madnessiseverything. Gen. Outsider POV. AO3. 2021.

a series of ficlets centred around viewing the pevensies from an outsider's POV, from pre-canon, canon, post-canon to alternate universes, really anything that strikes my fancy

what susan forgot by dirgewithoutmusic. Gen. AO3. 2014.

Let’s talk about what Susan Pevensie forgets: her older brother’s face, the sound of dryads gossiping in the leaves, and occasionally her house keys.
