This is really lovely! What a great way to explore the Narnia universe. :-) I love how Nora somehow understands Edmund, even when she thinks she doesn't.

Other things I love:
- how the talk of sacrifices is woven together with the WWII background -- eerie, but effective!
- the Catullus poem -- so fitting for the general mood of the fic
- this beautiful line (among many): The rain plunk-plunked on the roof and Edmund sniffled into your shirt, and you pretended like you couldn’t hear either and didn’t let the tears fall.

Thank you for writing this!
