Since the month of childhood is over, for vialethe. Written by metonomia.

"Lucy told me what Aslan did," Edmund says one day early that first summer, hovering in Susan’s doorway. His face is pale and set in her mirror, and she puts down the brush she was pulling through her hair and turns to him. She does not say, "I told her not to." She does not ask, "Are you okay?" or any of the other things she might. She simply beckons him to her side and pulls him into a hug, and when they pull apart both wear tremulous smiles. "Tell me about the newest treaties," she says, and he does.

Original Prompt: Something to do with the relationship between Susan and Edmund; how they understand each other, love each other, work together, etc. Narnia or England, gen or shippy, doesn't matter. I just love these two together.

A lovely job, Meto. It's a great glimpse at the special relationship between the two of them and nice that it's done lightly, without undue Edmund angst. It's a terrific fill!

Oh, lovely. I really enjoy the way they understand each other so easily!

Meto! I have a secret love of "Edmund knows what Aslan did for him" stories and this one is great!

*squeals* Thank you so much, metonomia! This is so sweet and perfect. And Susan not wanting Lucy to tell Ed about Aslan is so very perfectly Susan. And then they talk about treaties at the end, because of course these two would turn to politics when emotions got to be too much! So much love for this, thanks again!!

Oh, I love their silent understanding of each other here.

So much love. This is wonderful; Susan and Ed always strike me as extraordinarily in tune with each other, yet not overly demonstrative. This strikes all the right notes; Susan is wonderful and caring without being heavy-handed, and Ed (as I would think he would) simply states what he knows, without any embellishment. Even with all that, you can feel the caring between them. Gorgeous!
