Shadow in the Shade, Chapter 1

*fanfare and drumroll*

Here it is at last, the whole, complete, revised (multiple times) first proper chapter of the main Nightmare-verse story, currently titled Shadow in the Shade. (I, uhm, don't promise not to change my mind about that.)

Note that this doesn't mean I'm putting Lies on hold; I've been working on the two concurrently since the actual NBB period ended. Lies goes much faster, so I anticipate putting out about 2 or 3 chapters of it for every one of Shadow... which means Lies will be done way sooner, as it'll probably clock in around 15 chapters and Shadow is 25-30.

Now, let's make this official:

Title: Shadow in the Shade
Rating: PG13
Summary: (... still working on a good one.) About a year after the end of LWW, all of the Pevensies are having terrible nightmares about Narnia.

( Prologue and Chapter 1 )

(A/N: How's the pacing? I thought it was super-long and then I looked at the actual word count, and now I'm worried it's rushed.)
