Whispers

So I wanted to challenge myself. (Any time I decide I want to challenge myself, I wish someone would pry my fingers off the keys and order me to only offer fandoms I know inside out and backwards.) I offered Chronicles of Narnia. I had to defaul this fic and gift it as a treat because I knew a little beforehand it wouldn't be done on time.

:makes face:

The original story is some great bonding moments between Jill and Eustace, but there's this spot where she asks him to tell her about last time, and he says he doesn't know how to tell stories. I wrote the title and figured it would come easy. It didn't. I had to go read Dawn Treader again and whoa, did I catch some feels when I did. It was hard to write because usually when I write about this kind of loss, I do it in poetry or half-poetry, not facts, not misdirection. I'm glad I wrote it though and I think the effort that went into it was worth it.

Remix tielan? Who in their right mind wouldn't? Now, granted, I really wanted to remix a couple other people too and I had to drop a claim for Roswell because again, time, but this one was from tielan and for characters I've missed writing something fierce: Rogue and Logan from pre-X3. So, yes, I was all over it for that reason alone.

Summary:

She thinks about it sometimes, when she's curled up under Bobby's arm and he's feeling a little raw, a little vulnerable. She thinks about telling him she's not in love with Logan, despite whatever brief crush she'd felt when he followed through on his promise and gave her everything to keep her alive.
