I don't know how I missed this one! I've always connected Lucy and Ramandu's Daughter together due to Lucy's name meaning 'Light.' I always felt like there was a story missing, because the two seemed to just fit together.

I love that you've given Liliandil purpose, because all she was interested in was giving plot details. I also love that she's not going because of Caspian, but for herself, adventure, and duty.

(I also love the references to the kings and a certian witch.)

I was not going to read this. Was. not. *flails helplessly* I still have to finish TQSiT, but after all the crazy comment fic and the allusion to Bacchus running off with Lucy and Capian, my mind went back to VDT and well...

"She would always be looking for Aslan's gentle presence and compassionate words and she would not find him in the dark, damp churches, nor in the narrow minds and shallow platitudes of the men who preached in them."

Amen to that. I find that voice in music, in writing, in beautiful flowers and wide-open fields, in many things that are not churches and platitudes. Beautiful. And now, having started down this path, I am going to keep scanning and read about RAF pilot Peter. :)

Wow, I can't believe I didn't know this was up here! What an amazing little piece-and movie-verse, too! :) I love the comparison of Liliandil's leaving the skies and Lucy's leaving Narnia to return to England. Is it Jadis that the Star is meant to follow? I wonder how that came to be her duty, and what such a battle between the two would look like?

Great job, as always! :)

I finally saw the film, and as I saw the green mist and Lilliandil, I kept thinking of this FF. I'd thought that, having given her a name, that she'd be in more of the film, but she was in the film even less than she was in the book.

Your FF has given her a purpose, as this ultimately becomes her fight (not Caspian's), and your FF has given the green serpent a double reason for killing her in "SC". It has also neatly tied "VDT" and "SC" together through the green mist and Lilliandil's battle.

I also very much enjoyed Lucy's comment on the story of three kings following a star. I never thought of the parallel, but in making Lil (every time I see her name I think of Phil and Lil on "Rugrats") a star, it makes the parallel rather powerful. Brilliant!

This is beautiful! The movie did such a poorjib if giving Lilliandil any real significance, but you've dine it here. I live the thought if her knowing she has a role to play apart from simply being a consort, that you've tied in her death as being something she's willing and ready to face fir the sake of eradicating evil ( and nice tie in of the White Witch with the Silver Chair witch).

I feel for poor Luxy, too!

Ooooh... that last line was FANTASTIC.

Beautiful. A fantastic parallel between the wise men and the star and Caspian and Ed and Lucy and Liliandil, and a plausible reason for Liliandil to go to Narnia - a nice movie-verse tie between VDT and SC.

My favorite part, though, was Lucy and Liliandil getting time to talk together and share!

What a gorgeous story. You saved the Movieverse! Your depiction of Liliandil gives both her and the green mist a meaning. The more I think about how strong and intrepid you've made Liliandil, the more excited I get about how this reshapes the overall tale, even into the Silver Chair. Well, really, why would a Star's Daughter just stand there and gleam prettily if she has the understanding of the Light of the World in her veins? This feels so much better!

I love the parallel you made with the Three Kings and the Star in our world. And I am completely delighted with the remark about the two Kings and the Queen. Of course most of all I love the way both these wonderful ladies strengthen and comfort each other. Thanks so much for this!

I didn't get a chance to review this before I left for Nova Scotia and the internet-less snowy lands, but I enjoyed it! Different flavor to it, somehow, for being movie-verse, and I like how Lilandil and Lucy both have missions of their own that they're choosing. Very nice. :)

Saint Francis's verses appeal to everyone, I think...perhaps they were even Baruch Spinoza's pantheist inspiration?

Anyway, this was a lovely entry for the holidays and a touching homage to the latest entry in the movie serialization, as well. May the Dawn Treader take you and all your readers to where Daydreams come true in 2011!

Season's Greetings,

So very sweet, and such a good premise for a Christmas story. I love what you've done with Liliandil's character by making her a strong woman in a fandom that so desperately lacks them and giving Lucy a female mentor at the same time! And of course, the final bit: so magical and so sweet and so perfect for Christmas! Brava, once again!

I absolutely loved this story. It brings to light Lucy's feelings on how she must go back to her world. We know she doesnt want to butvshe knows she must and you brought that across perfectly. Very well done indeed.

Also very good job on the inclusion of the Three Wise Men. I liked that. Very well done. Thank you.

I haven't even seen the movie yet, but already I'm willing to forgive some of its faults because Lilandil will forever be associated with this story. Lucy is so good in this, a queen contemplating being a little girl again, contemplating a world that's not really her own anymore. Marvelous.

I *love* the tie-in to the story of the three kings! And especially that she decides *herself* to join the ship, for her own reasons, instead of being invited/proposed to by Caspian. The ending line is beautiful! But this one is my favorite: "She would always be looking for Aslan's gentle presence and compassionate words and she would not find him in the dark, damp churches, nor in the narrow minds and shallow platitudes of the men who preached in them." A girl after my own heart! Oh my friend, even in little fun oneshots you remind us that compassion and gentleness are found anywhere and everywhere, and that is the loveliest reminder of the holiday spirit. 3

Though Lucy/Lilandilli and Lucy/RD are not strictly the same thing, this is still fabulous. Merry Christmas!

Thanks for writing this. It was a fantastic story, and I hope that you had great Christmas. x
