lesbian Susan Pevensie headcanons
she’s more than a little nervous, but he accepts her right away
he holds her for hours as she sobs, relieved
she tells edmund next it’s an accident, it just slips out
he takes it well, very well–
a few days later he corners her and tells her he’s gay she’s never been so thankful for his companionship in her life
she never tells lucy, but her sister finds out in narnia anyways
she stumbles on susan dancing with a dryad, stars in her eyes
she creeps away, smiling, and later she casually brings it up during their private dinner
“were you ever going to tell me?“
susan chokes on her wine, wincing
tells her she isn’t sure
tells her how afraid she was her sweet sister would hate her, and how unbearable that would be
unsurprisingly, lucy understands
while in our world, susan decides to be publicly out because in narnia, love isn’t illegal
she’s still careful of course, but she owns it, she’s proud of herself, she loves herself and knows that her love for girls is beautiful and holy, not a sin
but after narnia, after the deaths of her family, she doesn’t flirt with girls, barely even looks at them
not publicly, not privately
it feels too horrible to be so happy, and so she isn’t
instead, she spends all her time searching for a way back
eventually, after what seems much too long, she claws her way back. she doesn’t need death or magic to reach the true narnia; the only powers she needs are those of anger and grief
aslan is waiting for her there
“welcome, daughter of eve,” he says. “i knew you would come.”
susan is caught between hugging him and punching him in the face.
in the end, both win out. he bows his head and laughs.
(also, she gets married to a lovely narnian lady she wanted to court her first time around. she actually had time for that now. all the time in the world, in fact.)
