Title: With A Clouded View (Part 9 of 9, and Epilogue)
Fandom: Chronicles of Narnia
Pairing(s): Lucy/Susan
Rating: PG for this part, NC-17 overall.
Summary: In which there is, finally, a happily ever after.
Word count: ~7000
Warnings: Sibling (sister/sister) incest. Don't like? Don't read.
A/N: Chapter 1 and initial notes are here, and Chapter 2 is here. Other parts can be found on the "fic: with a clouded view" tag.
I recently found a document on my laptop entitled 'Untitled Narnia' dating from May 22 2010 that contained the first few paragraphs of this. Which is to say, from first words to final full stop, this story has taken me almost four years to write. It's the longest thing I've ever written and, while I can't really say that there was ever any doubt that I'd finish, I really didn't expect it to take this long. Regardless of how many people read it, I have to admit to being pretty proud of myself right now.
A lot happens in 4 years, and this particular 4 years has seen all sorts of ups and downs. This ridiculous little story has never been far from my mind, one way or another, however much I've failed at speedy or consistent writing. I'll miss it, but hey, now there's time for the next thing, so that's nice.
While this is written from Lucy's point of view, and while I've grown to love her more than I ever thought possible, I wrote it, in a very real sense, for Susan. I've never come to terms with Lewis's treatment of her, and this is my response. To say that Lewis wouldn't have approved is something of an understatement, but isn't that one of the joys of fan-fiction?
As always, I want to thank likecharity, for her betaing and general wonderfulness. Thank you! ♥♥♥
Dedication: And finally, this is for all the people I've ever met online, in one fandom or another, or just on the wild and woolly highways and byways of the internet. This is for the love, the friends and the friendships, however lasting or fleeting. This is for zagury, my first fandom friend who, I'm happy to say, I'm still in touch with, and smeetie, with whom I was so close for a short time at the end of 2009 and whom I still remember with fondness and sadness, 4 years after she vanished from the internet. And this is for perverbially, whom I miss more than I can say, and sushizuzoru too, and jules2112, despite the fact that we appear to have fallen out over a ridiculous political disagreement. And this is for Shan, and Sivi, and Morgan, and Graham, and Jack, and Anna, and Flis, and Helen, and all the guys from the heady, if slightly stressful days, of Skins. And for lash_larue and lokifan too, and all you others I met through Harry Potter :)
And this is for Jules, and Kati, and Hannii, and most especially, Briella <3
And yes, I'm going a bit over the top, but did I mention 4 years? I hope it's not that surprising that I'm a little bit emotional XD
Anyway, rambling over. If you're reading this on LJ, feel free to check out the last chapter, and if you're reading on AO3, it's possible that you've already read it. I hope you enjoyed. <3
Disclaimer: Obviously all the characters and pretty much everything else belong to the estate of C.S. Lewis, and Walden Media. This is just for fun!
