Title: Again
Rating: PG
Pairing: Caspian/Lucy


Lucy is faithful. She waits, alone with her spun fancies and the words in the old, dusty books. Sometimes they fill her, the ink and spiky-graceful letters flowing into the crannies that sorrow and loneliness leave in her. They've become her life, black-and-white runes that beckon where she cannot follow, and she waits, the ghost of a girl in monochrome limbo. Her dreams are of blue and gold and green, sea and islands and his bright-blown hair.

Lucy is faithful, and she waits patiently for a time when she will be able to live again, when she can grow up.

got here through narnia by night, if you're wondering.
beautiful drabble!
very...Lucy.

[lotesse]

Thank you very much. She's wonderful, isn't she?

[laura-anne.livejournal.com]

oh yes, so wonderful that I imitate her online from time to time. reading it over again, it's still...well, sort of indescribably good!

[lotesse]

Imitating her online in what way? Is there a Narnian RPG that I'm been unaware of?

[laura-anne.livejournal.com]

My fake LJ name is Lucy Pevensie. Of course, I'm sure that there are plenty more Narnian RPGs out there, although not too many active ones on LJ last time I checked.

[lotesse]

Hurrah for fake lj names! You have a lovely icon, btw.

[laura-anne.livejournal.com]

thank you! i found it on a random google image search and rather liked it (i think it was on a chocolate box or something)! i occasionally see a few other folks using the same pic, which is always a bit strange...

No doubt you've figured this out for yourself, or have known even. But I had to comment just because. :)

The image used for your icon is actually from one of the many editions of tLtWatW - and for the life of me I can not remember the artist. They are some of my favorite Narnia covers. Although I do like the washed watercolor images as well....

*too obsessed with books*

Oh my--that's really beautifully. My inarticulate-ness should be taken as a compliment!

[lotesse]

It is. Thank you so much! It's always fun to know that I reduced someone to inarticulateness. /self-ego-stroking

This is beautiful and rings so true to the character I think.

[lotesse]

Thank you.

Wow. Lovely drabble, excellent use of language, and I love the mood this sets. It just screams Lucy if you ask me; great characterization.
