"With Hands Held Out"

[asakiyume]

I ... have written my first-ever** fanfic, about one of my favorite moments in Voyage of the Dawn Treader (actually, one of my favorite moments in the whole Chronicles of Narnia)--the moment when Lucy sees the Sea Girl in the Last Ocean. The story is from the Sea Girl's perspective. It's very short. Thanks to osprey_archer for a read-through and advice on posting!

[ETA: In my rush to post I, um, neglected to include a link to the story. Here it is! Sorry about that--it's kind of hilarious to post an announcement like that and then not remember the link -_-]

And here are some beautiful examples of seagrass for you to look at, to accompany the story.

**Actually I did once write a piece of fanfic earlier. I was in seventh grade, and it was for Space 1999.

That sounds lovely (I love that moment). Can it be found at AO3? [edit] Never mind, found, although if there is a link in this post, I am totally missing it.

I love that moment too! (but where is the story?)

I love those books, and that moment in that particular one. (Puddleglum is one of my favorite characters in fiction.) I can't wait to read the Chronicles of Narnia to Sprout, but they are among the books I still have to retrieve from my MIL's place. Did you read them to your kids, and if so, did you read them in the published order or chronologically according to the story?

And story: Where can I find yours? :P

Such a beautiful moment. Such a beautiful story.

Oh, that's gorgeous. I loved it so much. This is what fanfic is for. (All right, one of the many things, but it's what I hope for when I read fanfic, a transcendant moment implied but not fully produced by the canon.)

Lovely. Thank you.

That's possibly my favorite moment in the entire series as well. It's just so human and beautiful.
