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.

Awwwww yessssssss. Thank you so much, this is exactly the sort of thing I was hoping for. Bittersweet and reminiscent and very subtle. Thank you, thank you for this marvellous gift!

It's the AU where Jill and Eustace STAY and then COME BACK and EVERYBODY LIVES (or at least they do!). so sweet. I love this concept so much and I know Winged will love it too. This is a wonderful job Eleniel!

I love the idea of this AU. This vignette is sweet and heartbreaking at the same time.

Oh, poor Eustace and Jill. I like their bond in this.

That final image of the two of them hugging is just so lovely. <3 Well done!

Jill and Eustace staying fifteen years in Narnia certainly would add a whole other dimension to the story! I think that would be a fascinating read. I can see them missing Narnia even though they were not there very long, and so to think about how they would change, how they would be different, had they stayed as long as the Pevensies, is interesting indeed. Thank you for sharing!
