Today is NFE reveal day! I wrote two stories this year: one assignment and one pinch hit. I will talk about each in a separate post. :)

Daughter of Eve, Daughter of Lilith (3338 words) by Elizabeth Culmer
Fandom: Chronicles of Narnia - C. S. Lewis
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Susan Pevensie, Edmund Pevensie, Jadis | The White Witch
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence
Summary: When Susan finished counting to one hundred, she paused before leaving the long, low corner room the Professor had decided would belong to "the children" for however long the evacuation lasted.
On the one hand, she had a distinct feeling that Peter might have taken it into his head to try hiding inside the suit of armor in the picture room (he had remarked several times that people must have been shorter in the past, since it was almost his size) and wanted to make sure his sense of responsibility won over his sense of adventure.
On the other hand, she was worried that either Lucy might have returned to that dratted wardrobe, or that Edmund might have decided to hide there to be spiteful. Susan wanted that incident to disappear only slightly less fervently than she wanted the war to end and to know her home and parents were safe, and either of those possibilities would just reawaken the entire mess.
She bit her lip and glanced toward the hall that led to the picture room.

Then she turned decisively toward the stairs that led up to the attic.
