Went Forth Unconquered
Characters/Pairings: Susan
Warnings: None
Spoilers: Spoils The Last Battle. If you haven’t read that, then seriously, don’t even read the rest of this review. Major, major spoilers.
Summary: No matter what, Susan is still a Queen of Narnia.
Comments: The end of the Narnia series never fails to irritate me, and Susan’s fate is among the many irritations. This is one of the most coherent (and, yes, less…disturbing than Neil Gaiman’s version of Susan’s story), and it somehow manages to capture a strange sense of serenity about Susan. She strikes me as being both so angry that a lesser mortal would have snapped and gone on a homicidal rampage, and utterly self-contained. And I think that frankly, that’s the best possible reaction Susan could have to the end of the Narnia series.
One-shot, complete.
