Narnia, for once!

[metonomia]

And also Dr. Who!  

Skype is a wondrous thing - lady_songsmith and I were talking about the parallels between Donna (*sob*) and Narnia, and Rose (*sobsobsob*) and Narnia; in particular, how those two would get along SO well with Susan.

So:
Susan knows what it is to love someone (a whole country of them) and to be walled away from them, worlds away, across time and space.  Memory itself becomes a punishment, wishing for one more day but knowing it would be nothing, would only add to the pain.  Rose looks strong to everyone else, but Susan knows how she is stumbling blindly through each day, lost in her own world.

And then song said:
Rose understands what it is to shut yourself away from someone you love.  To see them day after day, struggling to continue, to go on as they should, but always and ever *less than*.   And it hurts, it opens the wounds fresh each time, like picking at a scab that can never heal.   Susan's family blames her for the rift, but Rose understands that it was self-defense.

And now we ask - help us continue to commit xover love!  Add Donna in! Angsty angst angst!
