The Night before Christmas, for angel_in_tears

The Night before Christmas, for angel_in_tears. Written by lover_of_narnia.

Susan Pevensie fit the bright red hat upon her head and watched it lopsidedly fall over her brow; the image of her that reflected back so childish and playful. Lucy’s squeals of delight from down stairs roused her and led her, as she scurried down to join the family as they crowded around the fire to hear the Christmas story before taking to their beds to await the arrival of Father Christmas. She was 12, not too old by far for stories and things, and she snuggled close to her Father as he began, “Twas the night before Christmas…”

Original Prompt: Anything Susan related :) Don't mind what!

Aw, this was sweet! I love how she's not too old for snuggling with her father and listening to stories!

What a beautiful glimpse into a younger Susan! It changes her character so much when you think about the child she was, and not just the young woman she becomes by TLB. Seeing her here with her father is also lovely; you get a sense of how the Pevensies might have been before the war changed everything.

Oh Susan! Before the war! When father was still there and they were SO young! Lovely! Thank you!
