 Murphy Annen Thiamine 3/15/12 . chapter 1Sigh. Such a breath of fresh air. I love those two. Well done. |
 MorningxLight 2/20/12 . chapter 1All I can say is how loooooooovely this is :) There are no words for how great this story is; the thought of them changing and growing up together and yet always staying the same and having the same rituals, and of course testing out other romantic interests. I loved Eustace comforting her and being so protective. Just awesome. |
 Erisah Mae 1/19/12 . chapter 1I haven't ever actually seen a Narnia fic that looked at Jill and Eustace after the Silver Chair (not generally my fandom) but I read this one because of the title. I was hoping for a spy fic with intrigue and Narnia references being used as code or something, but this was unexpectedly sweet and not overcooked. Especially enjoyed the scene with the Pevensies going to the dance.

 Wenxi 1/16/12 . chapter 1So cute! I love how their relationship develops, and how well the codependency fits. It's also really interesting to see Eustace's view on the FoN treating him like adults, when he hasn't been in Narnia long enough to become one.
Seeing the Pevensies from afar was pretty amazing too. Jill had such an awesome statement; It must be easier for them now that they're older. Fantastic job. |
 Ressick 1/15/12 . chapter 1I don't read a lot of Narnian fic, perhaps because I have loved the books so long, and most fanfic really doesn't measure up. But this gets so darn close, and I love it. Your Scrubb and Pole are perfect, and you've really got a great grip on the family that has grown out of Narnia, in the shadowlands. This is something I can see fitting into the book universe so very easily. Thank you. |
 Starbrow 12/22/11 . chapter 1Wow I can't believe I didn't review this story the first go-round when I first read it last year. I loved it then and I love it even more now - it truly is one of my favorite Narnia fics of all time. The progression of their ages combined with the way you wrote the characters at each stage suited them perfectly, while the repeating trope of their sleeping arrangement was GENIUS, it so perfectly captured the comfortable familiarity of their relationship. The evolution from friends to something more felt very organic, not forced at all, and you make Eustace/Jill seem like the most natural thing in the world!
This fic was funny, sweet, historically researched, AND adroitly written...and that's a combination you don't see very much on this site or in the Narnia category for that matter. I loved every second of it.
Would it be presumptuous of me to request more "fluff" and/or one-shots from you? Even if they are shorter than this one, you do an amazing job portraying the various canon characters (I'm off to leave a review on your Horse and Her Girl). |
 Pendragon2601 9/19/11 . chapter 1I really like this story. Everything just seemed to fit them, and I liked the pace of their relationship as they grew up. Very sweet. |
 The World's Best Auror 8/12/11 . chapter 1Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww. By the Lion's mane, why are there so few Eustace and Jill stories? Anyway, very good job on everything! Keep up the good work! |
 SadPanda7 7/2/11 . chapter 1Sorry about the fav-and-run, it's a bad habit of mine.
I don't think I've ever seen somebody else try the co-dependency angle. It's something I could see happening though. I loved getting the story of how Jill learned all of her skills and why.
I'm not too sure how I feel about the Pevensies being sexually active. The Chronicles of Narnia is a Christian allegory, and Aslan is supposed to be a big Jesus-lion after all, so it just seems kind of strange that they wouldn't follow the Christian rule of sex within marriage only.
I just adored how Eustace referred to all his misbehaviour as the dragon. I thought that was a lovely touch.
If The Silver Chair ever ends up being made into a movie, I'm glad you've got this up so I can read it after I'm (probably) disappointed by the film. |
 Stolen Paper Stars 6/26/11 . chapter 1This ought to be one of the sweetest fics I've read about Jill and Eustace. It always upsets me when authors can't get Eustace and Jill in character. Great job, I loved it! |
 Belle of Books 6/2/11 . chapter 1I love this! No one writes stuff like this! I love all your stories that I've read and this one is no exception! Love it! |
 HarmonyLover 5/3/11 . chapter 1This is beyond adorable. There is so little good Eustace/Jill fic out there, and I enjoyed this so much. :) It's so nice to see them growing up with each other, and slowly growing into each other, as it were, getting closer and closer as time passes. I also loved seeing the older Pevensies act as mentors of a sort, guiding Eustace through some of the more awkward parts of growing up. Wonderful! |
 Artemistmg 4/23/11 . chapter 1This was perfect. I'm still not sure where I stand on whether I'm for friends or more than friends, but this was a great balance of both. Surprisingly very funny, and all the details make the story feel real. Enjoyed seeing Jill's spunk, sometimes that gets left out of stories. Edmund advising Eustace worries me, although the no means no was excellent advise. Kudos to Ed. This was truly adorable, probably my favorite Jill and Eustace piece. |
 Doranwen 4/20/11 . chapter 1I don't remember if I reviewed this or not, and given that the tab is STILL open in my browser, I suspect not. But I have a faint inkling of perhaps having done so.
Either way, I wanted to say I truly enjoyed this, the gradual growth of friendship into more and just showing their friendship in all the different ways, how they just are *there* for each other as need be. :) |
 Marie 4/6/11 . chapter 1 I followed your advice, and finally read "Under Cover". You were right, I enjoyed it :-D And I didn't skip anything, I liked Eustace and Jill just as well
Their relationship is great. This routine, "side by side, on top of one blanket and under the cover of the other, Pole at his back", is so sweet. I can just see it.
And all this "sneaking into the other's room" thing, with Eustace getting caught on his first try, is really amusing xD Picking locks, becoming Prefects, taking the patrols, joining the Girl Guides, everything to keep sleeping together !
And all those little details that makes it so real, and replace it completely in its timeline : the Jitterbug dance, the petrol issue, the transformations in the Experiment House, and the rest, sorry, too lazy to list them all xD
It's nice to see the Pevensies a little more from afar, sometimes, and you do wonders with them, as always ! And Polly and Diggory are great too :-P
And there is the way you write it, I don't really have the right word. Gentle ? Tactful maybe. Don't really know how to describe it, even in my language. But it's sweet :-)
So well... thank you :-D
