LOTR & Narnia: The Bitter and the Sweet, by AceQueenKing

FANDOM: Lord of the Rings / The Chronicles of Narnia
FIC LINK: The Bitter and the Sweet
AUTHOR LINK: AceQueenKing
RATING/WARNING(S): G
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete | 2363
MAIN CHARACTERS: Susan Pevensie, Arwen Undómiel

FIC SUMMARY: Susan wanders into Rivendell when she opens the door to Narnia after The Accident. It may not where she expected to end up, but not all who wander are lost.

RECCER'S NOTES: I received this gift for Every Woman 2017 and was blown away by it. It's a lovely fic set after the Accident in the Narnia world, and just before Frodo reaches the Fords of Bruinen in LOTR movieverse. Given the timing in the respective canons, it's surprisingly hopeful - Susan on a horse again, with a bow! - and the writing is lyrical and moving.
