Narnia drabble: Observation [Lucy, Eustace, general]
Title: Observation Author: celandineb Fandom: Narnia Characters: Lucy and Eustace Rating: general Summary: Lucy sees through people. Note: For realpestilence who wanted Lucy & Eustace friendship fic, post-VotDT, "insight, warmth, determination."
Lucy's insight rarely failed her. She kept to herself most of what she observed, but when she saw how Eustace looked at Edmund, she knew that her cousin loved her brother. Lucy grieved for Edmund, who had gradually sunk into a kind of dogged determination. When she had the chance to speak with Eustace one Christmas, she assured him warmly that anything he might do to cheer Edmund would be well done. She had never wanted physical love herself, but if it brought them joy, then she wished it for them whole-heartedly. Eustace's blush revealed that her guess was correct.
