#because A) they've both lost everything and are struggling to re-find their best selves

...I wonder if there are any fics out there of Susan Pevensie traveling in the TARDIS?

Like, I don’t wonder enough to LOOK right now, because I’m picky about my Doctor characterization and extra EXTRA pick about my Susan characterization. But--assuming it was written from a viewpoint of “Susan needs to reconcile with Aslan at some point” as the end goal--I think that could have Potential...?

She wouldn’t even ever have to mention Narnia to the Doctor, honestly. They could just have normal TARDIS adventures and her backstory would be “my entire family was killed in a train accident” and that could be IT. The Narnia/Aslan factors could inform her inner life and add depth and you could ALSO have a perfectly good TARDIS Team dynamic without them ever needing to come up in conversation! Just Susan, being herself, having heroic adventures and rediscovering what’s really important with her new best friend.

#i think a new series doctor would be good honestly #because A) they've both lost everything and are struggling to re-find their best selves #and B) with all the ''lonely god'' hype of new who i think it would be fun to have a companion who's actually MET God #susan internally: *buddy i love you but aslan you are NOT* #susan a second later: *oh no i just internally admitted i remember aslan's existence what do i do now??* #there should also be a lot of surprised by joy moments (it is c. s. lewis after all) where the wonder and beauty of what she's seeing #awakens her longing for narnia and aslan while ALSO making her sharply aware that what's in front of her is DIFFERENT from narnia and aslan
