Jess's fic

Yay! As I noted in a direct message, I had you pegged for Jess, but not until a good halfway through the story, and even then I thought maybe the author was just someone you influenced...

...until the Last Battle and the reveal of the nature of Susan's argument with Peter and her feelings about the whole thing. It just so absolutely flowed from your foreshadowing in Apostolic Way and your general thematic direction that I was 99% certain it was you. Also, it was a much larger chunk in your more typical writing voice.

But whether this ends up being how it's handled in AW or not, thank you for providing such a beautifully realized disagreement, where it's truly a matter of perspective. Is Susan being the Foolish Faun who isn't taking the initiative that Aslan is asking for? Or is Peter being presumptive and trying to circumvent rules that, unlike so many silly societal boundaries broken in your other fic, were in place for very good reasons?

Also, great job making Jess irritating at first but wonderful in the end.
