Narnia drabble: Offering [Edmund/Eustace, general]
Title: Offering Author: celandineb Fandom: Narnia Pairing: Edmund/Eustace Rating: general Summary: Eustace can't bear Edmund's loneliness. Note: For realpestilence who asked for Eustace/Edmund, "longing."
Christmas wasn't like it was when they were younger. Eustace was in his last year at Experiment House, and his cousins were finished with school – well, Edmund was at university, Trinity Hall at Cambridge. Lucy teased Edmund gently about swotting over his books, and Eustace heard him reply, "What else is there for me?"
The note of despair and longing that Eustace caught then made him reckless. After dinner he went up to Edmund's room and stood, legs braced apart as he'd done learning swordplay on board the Dawn Treader, and said, "I know I'm not Caspian, but I'm here."
