Teal Deer There needs to be a scene. It's funny -- I wrote this before. There are particular scenes that have been in my head for a very, very long time. Mary and Asim on the platform, Edmund declaring himself at Conclave and Susan gatecrashing moments later, and now, another, Lucy falling from a tree on to Asim. I've been putting her in trees since at least Palace Guard in anticipation of this. It's WHY I put her in trees. And so it is here with John and Edmund. There first is a dinner scene in 1948 where it all begins, where Peter is late and the others are delivering some bad news and Helen and John are clueless about it all. There are Chinese noodles. There are stern words and a draft article. Then there is a pub and then there are scenes after. Lines from throughout the story, "Do you desire the truth or the lie?" and other things will happen there.
I've given very little thought at all to what to do with John before 1948. So, I know where he ends up and I need to think about how he gets there. What does he think of Susan? What does he think of Edmund? is Edmund really so sanguine about this? Just how angry is John with Peter?
So, yes, I do need to start that arc. I know where it ends. I just need to get there.
