It's like a part of him has returned. Like there's snow under his boots and a crown on his head. Like Narnia is whole again.
Okay, I'm crying now. This is so, so utterly perfect. Just Susan and Peter and Lucy. They were all so wonderfully written, especially Susan. You handled her with such love and just yesyesyes, it's so very her. I'm not being very coherant and I'm sorry about that, but I'm just overflowing with feelings.
He drowns in the panic of his heartbeat. ♥
He imagines her writing books and revising histories and changing the world with a smile and will of steel. oh Susan
Okay, okay. I stepped away a moment to make tea/calm down, and I think that I can speak a bit more coherantly now.
Oh, that phonecall, when he's trying to convince her to go with them-- I adored that glimpse into what Susan's doing with her life, and I love that she has such faith in him, that she thinks that he doesn't need to be a king to be great! oh my heart. Oh, and that conversation with Lucy in the second to last scene was just fantastic! I didn't mention this in my prompt, but I just adore Peter + Lucy interaction, especially if it's her comforting him, so that hit all the right buttons for me.
Finally, let me say how I adore the way you wrote the Peter/Susan relationship. My favorite kind of romances are the ones that don't hit you in the face with a sledgehammer, and you nailed that perfectly. (...I did not intend to make that pun. >_>) Just, with lines like these, how could I not love it?: Her hair is dark and sleek, and Peter wonders what it would be like to tangle his fingers in it.
