[Fic] "To Every Thing There Is a Season" -- Chronicles of Narnia

My Narnia Big Bang story is up!!! (Now in more than one place! AO3 version and ff.net version)

To Every Thing There Is a Season: Ilgamuth Tarkaan was fourteen when he first rode to war. He was likewise fourteen when he pledged his life and his name to Prince Rabadash, a decision that would shape the rest of his life. Prequel to "Out of Season." Contains character death, violence, and moral dilemmas. (21,300 words)

Also! Go look at the awesome art by [livejournal.com profile] i_autumnheart and tell her how amazing it is!

Also also, thank you to [livejournal.com profile] metonomia for beta-reading. :-)

*whistles* This /really/ fleshes out Ilgamuth's dilemmas in "Out of Season". They're all caught in this bind of politics and war-as-politics and war-as-destiny, and Rabadash is so clearly a little crazy already. But not just crazy. You can see there's also intelligence there, and something that might have been a sense of humor if he hadn't been born knowing that it wasn't paranoia, they really were out to get him.

*nodnod* I can definitely see how we'll need this to understand the next part, and how that's going to shake out.

*laughs* I suppose you could tell everyone you're going to post the next part for solstice or something.
