Late Nights and Little Sisters, for wingedflight21. Written by sophiap.

There was no clock, but Edmund knew how long he had been working by the height of his candle. It was almost down to the socket, and yet his desk was still swamped with paper. He lit a new candle off the old, and heard a chiding “Edmund...” He sighed. “Lucy, the Archenland delegation will be here - “ “Tomorrow. And not until late.” Lucy plucked the pen from his hand. “Look at what you just wrote, Ed.” He tried. His handwriting was past illegible. Lucy shepherded him from the library, firm for all that she was called ‘the Gentle.’

Original prompt: Dragon in winter, awesome ladies, leaving behind the melancholy, swamped, staying up all night (mix and match!).

Oh, Ed! This catches his intense, driven nature so well -- and also Lucy's sane perceptions of what's really important, and her care -- an awesome lady indeed!

Oh, very nice. I like how Lucy is there to take care of Edmund, just when he needs it.

Wow, you managed to squeeze is so many of the prompts... and fantastically, too! I love me some good Lucy and Edmund interaction...there just never seems to be enough of it!

Awww... I'm so glad Lucy's there to get Edmund away from his work and go to bed. He works too hard and too long, and a gentle voice and hand is needed to guide him here.

It's great to see Lucy in this caregiver role and poor Ed, working too hard, and mixing it up with Lucy being the Gentle here! Well done!
