Taking A Moment, for turkeyish. Written by sophiap.

In the Great Hall, hearths blazed, musicians played Christmas carols, and dozens of Narnians laughed and feasted. Out on the west battlement, a solitary torch flickered, a pennant snapped in the wind, and a dwarf and a Son of Adam blew smoke rings. "Party not to y'r liking?" His Majesty had borrowed a pinch of the sentry's baccy, thereby allowing a degree of familiarity. "Oh, it's wonderful," King Edmund said with quiet, genuine cheer. He waved his roll-up back towards golden windows and distant music. "But sometimes, what one needs to appreciate festive noise is a moment of companionable quiet."

Original Prompt: As long as it centers on Edmund, I'm good. :) Something happy that maybe somehow involves smoking and/or fencing.

Target, for wingedflight21. Written by elenielofnarnia.

"Do you miss it? Narnia?" Eustace lay on the grass, waiting for Jill to answer. She wasn’t far, practicing her archery. It was something of a routine each day since the fifteen years ended and they were back in England. Jill had taken to this hobby more than Eustace, not even answering as she concentrated hard on her target. "Jill?" "If you haven’t noticed... I miss it very much." He could see then that her eyes were glassy, which made her miss the target. Standing up, Eustace gave Jill the hug that she needed, letting her sigh into his chest.

Original Prompt: Jill/Eustace, fairy tale, far from home, SC AU in which Jill and Eustace stay 15 more years (or from the POV of returning to England after this), ageJill/Eustace, fairy tale, far from home, SC AU in which Jill and Eustace stay 15 more years (or from the POV of returning to England after this), age Notes: This is an AU where Jill and Eustace stayed in Narnia for 15 years, but are now back in England.

The Shield, for snitchnipped

The Shield, for snitchnipped. Written by caramelsilver.

Winter was a tough season for King Edmund. It reminded him of Her, and of who he used to be, and of what he had done. Every year at the first sign of snow his bones grew cold and he longed for the warming respite of Christmas, which was his shield from her cold memory. Christmas, which she hated and banished, helped him to fill up on love and warmth to tide him over until summertime. The world may be cold and filled with ice, but now spring always came when promised and Christmas was a light in the darkness.

Original Prompt: Edmund at Christmastime. Anyworld, anytime, anyverse.
