H&M, Chapter 24 -- the beginning of the end
Not with a bang but a whimper, H&M, Chapter 24 is posted here.
I'd posted an excerpt back in August of the joss'd version of what is now posted. I really loved what I'd written all those years ago and it was really, really difficult to part with all of it. I probably kept more in that I should have but sometimes, I just can't let it all go.
The 3-year bonded presumption has been in the story from the very beginning. Hints of it are in Lucy's conversation with Mrs. Beaver in TSG Part 1 and by the time Lucy and Morgan go to visit Jezebel the beaver back in chapters 2 and 3, the groundwork was there. The odd references at the end of the chapter Coming and Goings where Jina and Willa are in the hold of the ship returning to Narnia after Narrowhaven also reference it. More to come and more explanation.
There was a long scene involving Maeve meeting Seth and I ended up cutting it when it became clear that I would be looking at 17000 words or thereabouts. I'm bothered by the fact that neither of them is thinking about that at the moment and I also know it's not terribly romantic that they are both so focused on doing their duties rather than falling into bed and swooping sensation, feelings and sexy times. I deliberately mock the feeling talk and the kissing someone senseless romantic trope. With any luck, I'll get tongue "lathe/lave" in there and maybe pressing manhood? Errr, maybe not. it's called Not A Romance for a very good reason.
So, thank you. the end is near.
