Stages of Age and Youth (The I Dreamt a Dream Remix) by Rynne [PG]

Fandom: Narnia
Pairing: Lucy/Caspian
Author Website: website

Why this story must be read:

Wonderful story that addresses that favorite question of mine, regarding what the Pevensies remember and what they do not. There is a strong sense of *presence* in this story, and when I read it I feel the lulling of the sea behind it. This is a Lucy who is biding her time, making up her mind, and drawing conclusions with the langour of a sea-voyage behind it all.

"Lucy," Edmund said. "You shouldn't."

"Should has nothing to do with it," she replied.

"You know what will happen."

"Yes," she said.

"You know we always leave, and that we don't always come back."

"Yes," she said again. She knew. The knowledge thundered in her veins, that she could not stay forever, that she should not do this.

Should had nothing to do with it, and Caspian had kissed her doubts away, as if they'd been tears falling from her face.

"I don't want you to be hurt, Lucy." Edmund reached out and stroked her cheek, and she closed her eyes and felt the softness of his love.

"Growing hurts," she whispered.
