Thank you and I appreciate you saw in these parts what I intended. I've written reams of navel-gazing on the subject of those final three challenges -- Smoke, Walk, and Revel. I don't think I'll post it - it's even more self-absorbed then Jess_in_Time is. The essence of the Revel was why I entered the fandom in 2008. And... just spent 15 minutes rambling and I'm cutting that too. As the story began to take shape over the last month, Snacky has been walking me through it and she knew the challenges I'd set for myself in writing it. She also saw sooner than I did what was happening. I don't personalize fic but that's what happened here. The story was a challenge for the Pevensies, but it was for me as well, and undertaken for similar reasons of love. In my case, though, it was a love of writing, the Narnia 'verse, the characters, the readers, and my recipient, Anastigmat.
