The Chronicles of Narnia - A Susan Pevensie story, slight angst requested by @davey-in-a-minivan​

tw: mentions of stabbing, grief

word count: 435

song: show me the meaning of being lonely - backstreet boys | ✒️

Summary: A queen like Susan had long been acquainted with the everlong sting of grief.

Susan walked down the Corridors of Cair Paravel, Edmund on her arm, escorting her to her chambers. Outside, the evening was deepening into the rich colors of night, and with the night came quiet pensivity. The two royals walked deliberately slow, not wanting to reach their destination, and when they met them, they paused outside the thick doors.

"Here we are, Su," Edmund said, something solemn in his voice.

"Here we are," she echoed.

The shadows at Cair Paravel stretched longer. In no time at all, the night would be upon them, and all the splendor of Narnia would be hidden in obscurity.

Edmund squeezed Susan's arm in the way one does before leaving, but she placed her hand on his as though begging him to stay. Edmund looked deep into Susan's eyes, and his countenance was warm.

"It didn't hurt?" Susan asked. Her words felt foolish and small, but she asked him anyway.

"Only at first," Edmund replied, his right hand ghosting at his side, where once, he had been impaled by magic and something colder, and where, once, he had been mangled by iron and steel. "It was alright, after that."

"Did Peter tell you to say that?"

"If I told you what Peter wanted, I would have told you it didn't hurt at all."

Susan sighed a laugh. "And Lucy?"

"Is too busy dancing with dryads to be bothered to think about it."

Susan smiled, somehow bittersweet. She could picture Lucy if she closed her eyes - nestled amongst the flowers in the garden, sleeping, now, and just waiting to rise with the sun. Peter, strong and stoic beside her, his eyes on a distant horizon. She could picture them if she closed her eyes.

She kept her eyes open.

"They're not lonely, then?"

"No." Edmund inclined his head toward the doors, then, as though beckoning her forth - through the doors and away. "I suppose you are, though."

Susan looked at the heavy wrought doors. She imagined England, beyond them. England was cold and clouded, sodden in rain, and immersed in solitude. It was pale, deep in shades of grey. When she closed her eyes, she would be there, again, and her siblings would be in their Narnia. In their glittering corridors of Cair Paravel.

Susan straightened her spine. She looked at Edmund, then - so young. So full of life, still. "A Queen can walk with the feeling."

Edmund let the smallest of smiles flicker over his expressions. He dipped his head in the mocking sort of bow he had always given. "Yes, she can."

Susan started to cry, the tears in her eyes stinging, pulling her eyes shut. "Ed—"

Her eyes closed.

Somewhere, in the darkness, Susan was weeping.
