The Narnia Fic Exchange Reveals are up! There are some astoundingly good stories, as always. I feel badly doing recs because they are all so good. But there are a number of stories without a lot of love so do go check them out. Everyone I wrote for has left reviews for this exchange, unlike my AU Exchange story, so that's pretty annoying.

But yes, I wrote A LOT -- 5 stories altogether. I have different things to say about different stories and I think I'll do that in separate posts.
Oh god, I just realized I actually did 6 stories, not 5. I'm such a horrific loser.

I did two for Fictionpenned who also wrote the lovely Some Light Mischief for me!

Characters: Lucy Pevensie, Susan Pevensie, Peter Pevensie, Edmund Pevensie

And a Lucy Pevensie + Arya Stark crossover, Lion and Wolf
Lion and Wolf (7467 words) by rthstewart
Fandom: Chronicles of Narnia - C. S. Lewis, Chronicles of Narnia - All Media Types, Game of Thrones (TV), A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin

Additional Tags: Crossover, Alternate Universe, Crossovers & Fandom Fusions, Family, Golden Age (Narnia), Talking Animals
Summary: "Not all gold lions on red are our enemies, Arya. Do give them a chance. I would prefer allies, not adversaries.” Then Bran went even more vacant and dreamy. “And see if you can prevail upon a raven to return with you. I would like to speak with one.”

Arya isn't in the Seven Hells if hell is nice weather, calm sea, and good fishing, but she's not in Westeros, either.

Both came very easily to me and I really enjoyed writing them, with the Capybara story coming together in about 3 hours after my computer crashed a few hours before the deadline.

Summary:Susan Pevensie, Peggy Carter and the four times they did not shoot fascists, and the one time they did. A relationship spanning decades that is marked by lipstick, cabbage, coffee, spying, and scotch.

Very much part of and a continuation of my Narnians Assemble AU.  There's -- wow a lot in that story -- an immense amount of research for a relatively short thing and a crossover at that.  I kill off an OC.  I had a hard time trying to fit this within the 5 times formula because I couldn't think of a 5th.  I'd had in my head forever the idea of Susan and Peggy both being at the opening of the Cabinet War Rooms.  The research for the first chapter, regarding the massacre in those villages was something I'd hinted at years ago with the war crimes of the Das Reich.  As I was researching the massacres, I discovered the National Archives Intelligence reports and spent a day combing through those, trying to read the handwriting.  It was interesting.  Horrifying.  I"d been wanting to deal with horizontal collaboration for awhile and was able to get at least the prospect of it.  And then we have Nuremberg and the very dodgy actions of T-Force.  There could have been a whole story just there but I cheated.  And then Susan, as the young grieving widow and being a real spy.  Uhhmmm  Larm hated it.  I enjoyed writing the last chapter.  I thought  of dealing with something with Susan trying to tell Peggy about Hydra but it just didn't seem to fit.  So, two old ladies taking down one bad guy.

Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Characters: Jill Pole, Letitia "Letty" Ketterley, Polly Plummer, Mrs. Lefay, Digory Kirke
Additional Tags: Magic, Treat, maybe background f/f
Summary: The Ladies' Spellcasting, Divining and Sorceress Hunting Society has a new recruit.
This one... hmmm. will, at some point, get a post all its own. I knew WingedFlight wanted witchy Jill and I had no idea until I read their Dear NFE Author that [personal profile] edenfalling liked my two stories with Letty and Mrs. Lefay and then Polly and Letty. This wasn't the story I'd intended but is much much better for it. To emphasize it is not part of my TSG series. It's a gift for two fabulous people and I hope they enjoyed it.

This one was for the wonderful [personal profile] syrena_of_the_lake for her birthday and guardyanangel and reader Eva. Eva had written me after the posting of the Star Husband really wanting some comfort for Susan -- even if some of her siblings return to Spare Oom, Susan herself has been deprived of the time with loved ones, the agency of making her decision, and the comfort of Aslan. Eva made a compelling case and several people have, over the years, wanted a scene with Susan and Lambert reunited. So, here we are.
