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.

*hugs Edmund* I like that Christmas reminds him that spring will come, but also, implicitly, that the Witch doesn't hold him in her power anymore. Lovely!
