AW, Chapter 15, Stepping Stones (and other things)
So, the whopping (and I do mean whopping) Chapter 15 is up. I thought of splitting it, but once you read it, I think you'll see why I didn't. No historical notes, really. It pretty much speaks for itself.
The first 4,000 words of Chapter 15 (with a notable exception in the first couple of paragraphs) repeats Chapter 1 of Rat and Sword Go To War. Then, it goes off in a different direction. I had really wanted to get this chapter up before Rat and Sword as they are so closely aligned and this is how I'd intended it -- the AW update first and then Rat and Sword. I'll start posting Rat and Sword later in the week on ff.net so they can all be read together in one place.
I'll take this opportunity to signal boost the writers and artists of the Narnia Big Bang stories. They are wonderful and please check them out. Every one is a wonderful, original contribution. I've so enjoyed them all and tomorrow is the last one! A huge thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
snacky for running a wonderful Big Bang and to heverus for my beautiful art.

Errr, right, signing off now and it's what you were expecting. I think this fleshes out a lot of Rat and Sword, plus stands on its own.

I've been thinking about the comment about Edmund's emotional maturity. And while it's hard to follow the timeline because I jump back and forth between pre, during, and post Morgan and pre and post Dawn Treader, I think we are seeing a pretty emotionally mature person at this point -- Narnia is over, his wife is dead, what is next? He's got some big decisions ahead of him -- big meaty, weighty, important things, but I do try to dial back the Ed angst. In my head, one reason why Aslan was able to send Edmund back was that ultimately, Edmund would be better able to handle it. Or it may be that my characterization is inconsistent. I'll need to be on the watch for that.
