This page contains spoilers, as it is an unfiltered recap of every story. Thread carefully!

  • My Radiant Southern Sun:

David, a human from Earth in Narnia, is crowned by High King Peter and Queen Susan, and Titled the Cordial by Susan as their eyes truly meet for the first time, falling in love. They have their first kiss in the Cair Gardens, their first dance in the Throne Room, and their first time having sex when David accidentally walks in on Susan bathing. One night, as the two are fucking, Susan approves their own marriage, and the two consummate immediately. Later, David decides to name their upcoming child Arthur if it’s a boy, and Susan decides to name it Autumn if it’s a girl. The end of David’s recalling of their relationship is punctuated by something causing them to be separated, but David declares he’ll keep trying to come back together.

  • My Glowing Northern Moon:

The previous book, but from Susan’s perspective instead of David’s. During their first dance together, Susan realizes she can physically feel David’s past struggles and how truly broken he is, and then feels Aphrodite bless her with comfort to give him. Susan swears then on all the Gods that she will make David whole again.

  • The Gentle and the Cordial:

One morning, David wakes up to find both Susan and Lucy in bed with him. Susan insists that there’s an explanation, but David is more caught up in how older Lucy looks. When Susan asks David if he remembers the night before, David replies with him remembering conceiving Arthur and Autumn with Susan, to which Susan replies that it’s actually been ten years since then.

Susan and Lucy then reveal that the night before, they prayed to Aphrodite, who gave them her Bounty of beauty and magic to essentially make them demigoddesses. They funnel magical love and comfort and pleasure into David, before Susan and Lucy begin telling David of events to fill the gaps in his memory.

First among those memories are David and Susan’s wedding, where David remarks that he should take the Pevensie last name instead of Susan taking his last name of Kent, because of not wanting to have her associated with his family and father. The present-day David remarks that he doesn’t even remember his father and wonders why he would say that, before the next memory is shown: their honeymoon, in which David wonders his self-worth and is answered by Susan taking him lovingly, promising that she’ll never leave him.

The next memory is David having feasting with the Pevensies the following morning, where Edmund questions and taunts David, the legitimacy of his rule, and his experience as anyone important. Susan initially bites back, but it’s David that finishes, telling the table that his family had disowned him and his father had abused and traumatized him. When a tearful present-day David asks Susan why she didn’t tell him earlier during the wedding flashback, she replies, “Sometimes some things aren’t so easy to tell.”

The next memory is of David training with Peter, who reaffirms that not only is David there for a reason, but that he will help him find his greatness, followed by a memory of Susan giving David his own bow and quiver and practicing with it- despite his lack of peripheral vision- while Edmund secretly and appreciatively watches them, and the Gentle and the Cordial walk the beach of the Eastern Sea. Susan reveals them that the Narnians have additionally started to call David the Hopeful, reassuring David of his worth and her love as he cries in her embrace.

Another memory shows one of the Four’s- now Five, with David- Royal meetings with the Narnian public. One young woman, who identifies herself as Ezra, asks David what he can contribute and how can he bring hope. When David struggles to give a satisfactory answer, Edmund jumps in to his defense, much to the approval and appreciation of the gathered Narnians as they begin chanting for David.

A later memory shows Lucy with Peter and Edmund on a picnic while David is away staying by Susan’s side, who’s pregnant with Arthur and Autumn. Edmund reveals his fear that David won’t be a good father due to the possibility of the trauma David gained passing to his children. At the others’ objections, Edmund muses on his own fear that his trauma will eventually pass to his children. He resolves then and there to help David if he ever needs a little push out of his traumatized darkness and back into the light of support and kindness.

Some time Arthur and Autumn are born, David’s restless nights due to his children are replaced with restlessness of his “beehive” - near-constant buzzing anxiety. One such night is filled with nightmares as even Susan’s love fails to rip him out of it. The bees weren’t just buzzing- they were all screaming.

Years later, David playfully reenacts the Battle of Beruna with a now-young-boy Arthur before being interrupted by Susan asking him to a meeting- the Ettins are continuing to give Narnia’s borders trouble. David suggests adding to their defensive numbers to try to deter the Ettins from continuing to enter Narnia, and while Peter and Susan agree that it would be worth a shot, David later can’t stop doubting himself, paranoid of not only his worth but their childrens’ safety with him as a father.

Later, David and a now-young-girl Autumn practice archery, and Autumn lands a bullseye. David celebrates by giving Autumn her own specially made bow and quiver, and agrees to Autumn’s wishes to display the bullseye arrow proudly.

One week before the present, Susan and Lucy tell Autumn to pass on their love and support to David, and she agrees before leaving with him to archery practice. Lucy tells Susan how much she cares for David, that she’ll do anything to heal him, and that she thinks something terrible is about to happen.

Later, a near-dying David reenters Cair to a shocked Susan and Lucy, who hear of a terrible tragedy that occurred. Despite no visible injuries, David appears to be dying, as he laments his ineffectiveness to the two Queens who desperately try to comfort him, to no avail.

Back in the present, David catches on to Susan and Lucy both avoiding telling him what happened the night before their current morning, and asks them why, to which Lucy replies while looking at Susan, “Sometimes some things aren’t so easy to tell.” Just as David is about to stop pushing them further on the matter, Lucy relents to both David and Susan’s surprise, beginning to tell them both what really happened the night before.

David, despairing at the Tragedy that had taken place the week prior, attempts suicide by jumping off the balcony. It’s thwarted with Lucy knocking David out just before he can jump. The unconscious David meets Aslan, and laments his value and skill, saying it’s his fault that someone is dead and that he is fundamentally broken. David cannot glean anything from his meeting with Aslan as he wakes up to Lucy behind him. She begs him to never attempt suicide again, but David slips into being numb. He declares that he’s nobody, but Lucy desperately replies that he is her King.

Lucy goes to Susan and tells her of David’s attempt, and how he saw Aslan but wasn’t helped. Lucy suggests the two of them pray to Aphrodite for love and comfort to send to David, and Susan agrees, but also adds a possibility of Lucy using her cordial to heal David’s mental state, not just physical injuries. Susan and Lucy go out to the Star-filled sky and Lucy prays to Aphrodite, who gives the two Queens her Bounty of beauty and magic, ascending both of them into beyond-beautiful demigoddesses as the stars fall from the sky and their magic is absorbed into the two Queens. Aphrodite enters them and multiplies their beauty, magic, and lust. When their dual ascension finishes, Susan’s beauty is greater, but Lucy’s lust is greater than her sister’s. Lucy, being more attuned to the unseen, regains her senses first as Susan still shivers in pleasure from the ascension, and hurries off to David’s bedroom, where she immediately kisses him, bares her chest to him, gives him a drop from her cordial and wishes on all her new magic to rip away David’s pain, trauma, and sorrow, and her wish is granted, inadvertently causing David’s memory loss. Aphrodite fully melds with Lucy, who then removes David’s clothes and places him on his bed with a wave of her hand. She uses her Aphrodite magic to transform her body into his dream come true, and straddles him, asking him to “Let me take the weight” before she guides him to declare his lust for her, and Lucy has sex with David.

When Susan finally enters David’s bedroom, Lucy reverts her body to normal before Susan can tell, and says truthfully that not only did the cordial work on him, but that she wants to stay with him to make sure that he’s okay, which Susan obliges, setting up the beginning of the book where David awakes to both Susan and Lucy in his bed.

Back in the present, David is stunned that Lucy knew all along that she caused his memory loss, while Susan is horrified that Lucy actually made love to him. The two sisters argue, causing Lucy to leave in tears. Eventually David suggests that Susan go talk to Lucy, but not before the newly ascended Susan’s lust causes the pair to share some passion. David passes out from the pleasure, prompting Susan to go talk to Lucy. Eventually David wakes up, and decides to go walk the halls, coming across Edmund. The two talk, and David remarks that while technically Lucy was correct in trying to wipe away his traumas, David also remarks that he doesn’t feel whole without knowing about the Tragedy that led to his attempt and everything after. Edmund replies that that’s because he isn’t whole without his trauma, and that trauma isn’t something to be buried, or erased, but confronted alongside loved ones. Edmund encourages David to go talk to Lucy and Susan about the Tragedy, and David does exactly that right after Susan forgives Lucy.

David tells Lucy to show him the Tragedy in his mind, and Lucy agrees, entering his consciousness alongside him and Susan. The Tragedy is revealed: Autumn died during archery practice with David due to an Ettin giant suddenly entering and smashing her with its club. David breaks down in tears inside his mind, and appears to be broken all over again, but Susan and Lucy together remind him that he is not only not alone, but that that Tragedy does not define him, for he is still worthy of Narnia and of love. Together, the trio brings beginnings of closure to the memory while David recites and realizes what the Four had taught him all along, and the trio exits his mind happily and hug each other.

Lucy and Susan realize that they poured their Aphrodite magic into him during their mind-visit, which causes David to be almost too weak to stand. Aphrodite tells the two Queens to get him to his chambers to rest, and then tells Lucy to go talk to Mr. Tumnus, with Aphrodite and the Gods having caused something to come about that deserves their attention.

Later, Lucy re-enters with the news: the White Stag has been spotted. Its wish-granting powers are known by all except David, to whom Susan explains that if they catch the White Stag, she will wish for Autumn back. The two exchange goodbyes, leaving David alone resting in his bedroom.

The book ends exactly the same way the first two ended, now having shown the context for both books’ endings of both David and Susan saying to the other how horrifying the sudden departure was, how much they will be missed, and how much they will be loved.

  • Between Two Worlds:

A month after the Pevensies left for the White Stag, David ruminates alone in his bedroom on the various revelations he’s had since. When Susan and Lucy poured their Aphrodite magic into him, it restored all his Narnia and Earth memories. He knows that the more time spent in Narnia leads to more memories lost. The first Earth memories to surface was of his father, which proves difficult to confront for David. The second Earth memories to surface is of his supposed childhood friend, named Lilith. Using the Aphrodite magic inside him, David wishes to see Lilith.

Meanwhile, a year into Lilith Moore being with Peter the Magnificent, she crawls into bed and into a deep sleep that she appears to wake up from in a completely unknown location. She is suddenly dressed in a gown as opposed to a nightgown, her feet are no longer bare, and the floor her feet are on is pale-stone and marble-like, in a large hall. Through the door before her lays a balcony with a figure on it, and Lilith recognizes him as David. As she begins to remember their time on Earth, she approaches him. Both of them admire each other before embracing.

As the two begin to talk, they describe different experiences with the Pevensies that couldn’t possibly coexist, such as one naming battles the other is unfamiliar with. David theorizes several things, including: that they are from different Narnian realities, and as such there is a Narnia multiverse; that the Pevensies he lost arrived back on Earth and that’s why no one can find them; using “Into the Spider-Verse” to determine when they arrived in Narnia (2019 for Lilith, 2021 for David); that the differences in the Narnian realities stem from both of them as a central human character, which he dubs “originators;” and that the Aphrodite magic inside him is why his Earth memories are restored, why Lilith is here, and in essence why the Narnia multiverse is opened.

In discussing how they can meet again, Lilith gives David her hairpin to remember her by, while David gives Lilith the bullseye arrow fired by Autumn, displayed in his chambers, after his bedroom door glows and he realizes his wishing Lilith to him might end soon. Biting back how they feel about each other, Lilith and David exchange goodbyes; with Lilith offering words of encouragement to the broken David. Just before Lilith fades away, David kisses her on the lips, with Lilith understanding his kiss completely. Lilith fades away, back in her own Narnia, leaving the both of them sobbing, each with a new discovery: David’s mental “beehive” is so sad that it’s inactive, and Lilith, after safely displaying Autumn’s arrow on her nightstand, remembers her Earth parents’ names.

  • Star-Crossed:

A year after Between Two Worlds, David is ultimately unsuccessful in efficiently ruling Narnia due to crushing inner doubt and depression and has reached a breaking point. He wishes to see Lilith again.

In Lilith’s Narnia, the redhead is gossiping with Susan about the Ball the previous night when she feels a tug on her shoulders. Recognizing the feeling to be magic, she quickly grabs Autumn’s arrow from her nightstand as she’s whisked away to David’s Narnia, in the same place as last time, except for Lilith their last meet was three years ago.

As they catch up, David realizes his difficulty telling Lilith that he loves her, and Lilith realizes her difficulty in telling David that she’s pregnant with Peter’s child. Eventually, David confesses both his love and his declining mental state. Lilith is in disbelief, and realizes she loves David, yet not in the same way she loves Peter, who she’s married to. Realizing she doesn’t know how she loves who she loves, a tearful Lilith hands David Autumn’s bullseye arrow he had gifted to her three years prior from her perspective, imploring him to be the King Autumn saw him as.

David realizes his mistake in wishing for Lilith to appear to confess his love to her, and cries as he embraces her. With both of them in a breakdown due to certainty over their future after David’s confession, Lilith calls David the Incredible instead of the Cordial, and David calls Lilith the Radiant, which prompts her to tell him that she’s pregnant with Peter’s child. David is elated and warmed by the news, and in a rush of trying to remember anything else to tell her, explains that he remembered his time on Earth in the couple years after Lilith’s death- filled with ever-increasing abuse from his already-abusive father. Lilith responds with horror at the thought of losing David, and tells him that while we don’t get to usually choose how we die, we get to choose how we live, especially in Narnia.

As David contemplates the possibility of this being their last time, wondering what his last words to Lilith would be, he has a vision of him in the exact same spot in his chambers with someone holding a sharp edge to his throat and asking him exactly that. As quickly as it comes, it fades.

To ease David’s visible anxiety, Lilith looks to the outside and the night sky it holds. David remembers that he still has Aphrodite’s magic in him, and with a wave of his hand, he spells her name in the stars. Lilith calls him incredible again, and confesses that she loves him- she doesn’t know exactly how, and she knows that she shouldn’t, but how she loves him is different from how she loves her husband Peter, and different from how she loves her Pevensies. David reaffirms his love for her, and in response, Lilith kisses him under the stars. As the kiss ends, Lilith fades away, leaving David with only her hairpin in his hands, and a smile on his face.

An unspecified amount of time later, an older Arthur Pevensie walks up to David’s chambers, convinces the two guards to leave for a break, and enters. David enters, having been in the Gardens, and is ambushed by Arthur, holding Autumn’s arrow to his throat from behind and threatening to kill David unless he concedes the Kingdom to him. Arthur blames David for Autumn’s death, blames him for the sorry state of Narnia in the years since the White Stag, blames him for not being there for Arthur in his isolative depression, and even accuses him of being the reason that the Four left Narnia in the first place. He gives David an ultimatum: wordlessly concede the Throne, or die. David wishes for Lilith in his mind, and a portal opens in front of both of them. Lilith locks eyes with him one last time before David forces out an “I love you,” cut off by Arthur slitting his throat. Lilith is mortified and unprepared, with her sword Vita not being near her as she was tucking her children into bed when the portal opened. She briefly stares at Arthur before the portal closes, leaving her in tears.

//////

This also sets up “I’ll Keep It Safe” and starts the Vita Timeline.

//////

David awakens at the threshold of Aslan’s Country and talks with Aslan Himself, who tells him of the fate of his Narnia in this Timeline: for how thorough Arthur was, he wasn’t when it came to playing off the murder. The sudden murder of David with no other possible suspects (he never even courted an assassination attempt, or had any enemies known who would go that far) leads the Narnians to be suspicious of Arthur and his timely claim to the Throne. Mass contention and confusion follows Arthur’s attempted coup, with all believing him unworthy to rule, and without a proper leader, Narnia falls into a centuries-long Dark Age.

David is in disbelief and asks to be sent back to try again to keep his Narnia from a Dark Age, and Aslan accepts with a couple conditions- he’ll be going back to his Narnian coronation when he met Susan with his memory reset. David accepts.

Aslan approaches Aphrodite, watching David’s coronation play out, and asks how many time loops this makes, how many times David has been sent back. Aphrodite answers that this is the 48th time David has been sent back.

Suddenly, the two detect a branch in the Timeline not there before- a split during David and Lilith’s second meeting where Lilith is unable to grab Autumn’s arrow from her nightstand before being whisked back to David’s Narnia. Aslan and Aphrodite watch the new branch with curiosity and hope, missing that another branch is forming in the shadow of a rising phoenix…

Following the new path/Sequel: Into the Narnia-Verse

Following Lilith’s path/starting the Vita Timeline: I’ll Keep It Safe

//////

  • Into the Narnia-Verse:

The book opens exactly like Star-Crossed, with one exception: Lilith is whisked away to Narnia before she can grab Autumn’s arrow from her nightstand. When discussing how Lilith missed grabbing the arrow, rumbles and sounds emanate from the area beyond David’s chamber door- the Place Between Worlds. The wall spaces between the pillars are cracked, before they fully crack open, bringing together multiple different Queens from the Narnia-Verse. They reveal themselves as High Queen Sanya the True (of which David takes particular fascination), Queen Eira the Benevolent, High Queen Sophie the Heir, Queen Christina the Fierce, Queen Danielle the Wise, Queen Suna the Glorious, and Lady Abhya. Together David dubs them the Seven Friends of the Multiverse.

The Place Between the Worlds continues to crack around them. Using his magic, David tries to find any universe for him and Lilith, where they can be together, but finds none. David theorizes that the Multiverse is falling apart because of him and Lilith wanting to be together. David and Lilith quickly usher everyone back into their universes as the Place Between the Worlds falls apart around them. Torn between wanting a universe with David and wanting to tell him three words, but unable to do neither, Lilith kisses David. David calls her Radiant, and Lilith calls him Incredible. As they are about to part ways, another crack sounds through the Place. David and Lilith desperately relay not wanting to leave each other, and as their grief and sorrow echoes in their faces, they fade away from each other.

Lilith is back in her chambers, tears streaming down, and forgets that Susan is in her chambers with her, just as she was before Lilith was whisked away while failing to grab Autumn’s arrow. The teary-eyed Lilith dismisses Susan’s questions until the Gentle Queen grabs Lilith’s arm and sees but for a second the tears forming in the redhead’s eyes.

As David is back in his chambers, the last thing he remembers before spiraling into sobs is Lilith calling him King David the Incredible.

  • The Last Time:

  • Divinity:

  • Resurgence:

  • Resistance:

  • Retribution:

  • I’ll Keep It Safe:

After the events of Star-Crossed, where Arthur successfully killed David by slitting his throat with Autumn’s bullseye arrow, Lilith, who saw everything because David opened a portal to her in his final moments, quickly grabs her sword Vita from the other room. She drives the sword into the just-closed portal and reopens it, stepping into David’s Narnia with Arthur still standing over David’s freshly-murdered dead body. The two duel until they’re both caught off guard by Lilith’s veins glowing in her Vita-wielding arm, merging with Vita’s vines. The distraction allows Lilith to fatally wound Arthur, and just before he dies, a stunning blonde young woman enters, excited at David’s death but horrified at Arthur’s impending one. When the blonde declares she supported Arthur killing David, Lilith decapitates her. Lilith kneels beside David’s dead body, kisses his forehead, and declares her love for him and her sorrow at not being able to save him. As she’s about to leave, Lilith finds Autumn’s arrow and holds it to the handle of Vita, causing the vines to wrap around the arrow, settling it inside Vita. Lilith promises David for the second time that she’ll keep it safe, and leaves his Narnia- and the three dead bodies- behind.

Sequel: Across the Narnia-Verse

//////

  • The Dawn of the Divine:

  • Remembrance:

  • The Dinner of the Divine:

  • Revelation:

The first story in the Revelation Timeline, following Into the Narnia-Verse. It’s another empty night and lonely day for David, who sits in his bedroom until he gets an idea: what if the White Stag- or anything worth finding- was out there somewhere in his Narnia? He rides out in search of either the White Stag, hope, or love. He quickly realizes how bad an idea it was to go at night, gets lost in the woods, and rides dejectedly back to Cair.

High Queen Lilith, dressed in only a nightdress, a robe, and her crown, is awakened by reports of a man claiming to be King at her doorstep. Thinking it might be one of her Pevensies, Lilith hurries to meet the stranger. Except it isn’t a stranger.

It’s David.

Both David and Lilith express shock, disbelief, and joy at being reunited. David theorizes that when he rode out from his Cair and got lost in the woods, he rode through a literal tear in reality and ended up in Lilith’s Narnia. The Cair Paravel he dejectedly rode back to wasn’t his- it was hers.

David realizes that Lilith lost her Pevensies. As Lilith guides him to a spare room, she fights back tears at both the heartbreak of loneliness and the influx of emotions upon being reunited with David. Lilith reveals it’s been a month since her Pevensies left for the White Stag. David, having multiple burning statements to say, eventually says them to her: that he missed her, that he would do anything to make her happy, and that he loves her. Lilith cries in response, overwhelmed with emotion. The two declare their love for each other, and kiss deeply and passionately, before melting into something more, the wall rattling with their passion, as they spend the night together.

When the two wake up next to each other, David confirms he declined mentally and inadvertently left his Narnia from heartbreak and loneliness. Lilith responds by saying he made the right choice, that it feels right being with him and that finding his way to her side was right. David, thinking on Lilith’s probable adventures compared to his mental health problems, asks Lilith who he is, and what his adventure would be. Lilith, confused at his feelings of inadequacy, reaffirms that he connected the Narnias, and that even though he might never see what unfolds because of it, all the other Narnias in the Narnia-Verse aren’t alone anymore. Lilith responds to his adventures remark by saying adventures are never fun when you’re living them, and that her and him have been an adventure, but now that he’s in her Narnia, he can have a fresh start, and be anything he wants. He could be King again- or be High King, she offers him. David responds by using his magic to create a ring, which he presents to her and asks her to marry him. She accepts, teary-eyed.

David realizes that his magic can completely restore his and Lilith’s Earth memories, and offers to. She accepts, prompting David to use his magic to restore their memories in a series of Earth flashbacks that make up the first half of the story.

In September 2008, a young schoolgirl Lilith has her first day at an American school, and sits at the lunch table opposite a young David. They greet each other, and Lilith offers him a clementine, which he gladly accepts. Lilith then invites him to a dinner with her parents, which he also gladly accepts.

In October 2010, Lilith and David are sitting together at a park named Shank Park. Lilith breaks the news to David that she has to move back to England for an extended period of time. David immediately stresses, and when Lilith attempts to console him by assuring that they’ll communicate somehow, David answers that his parents and their strict friends communication protocols makes contacting anyone both difficult and time-consuming. Despite this, Lilith assured him that she’ll come back, and that they’ll be okay.

In July 2012, Lilith video calls David on Skype. Both Lilith and David’s parents are listening in from outside the rooms they call in. The two catch up, including David mentioning his new favorite movie Rango, which Lilith happily agrees to watch with him.

In May 2015, Lilith video calls David on Skype. Both sets of parents are away. Lilith starts by breaking the news that the summer get-together they’ve been planning for a year will be not even a full week. David, in an attempt to not spiral mid-video-call, relays that he has recently discovered a creative outlet: a group of friends on Reddit that writes stories together, and in this story his character is Chris Adams. Lilith playfully expresses interest in writing alongside him one day, and as David espouses passionately on this “World Problems” and his new friends, Lilith has an epiphany, and decides to say it. Lilith only gets out “I think I might-“ before her laptop battery dies and the video call ends, keeping David from hearing the last two words: “-love you.” Lilith, needing to vent, finds her friend Christina active on the internet and asks her, “Have you ever been in love?”

In July 2016, Lilith and her parents Madeline and Rob are in America having dinner with David and his parents Karen and Matt. Madeline secretly expresses annoyance to Lilith at the brief interaction she had with Karen, and David finds himself staring too long as Madeline walks away to take a seat at the table. Aphrodite interjects mentally, ready to make Madeline attracted to David, but he refuses, prompting Aphrodite to tell him that Lilith doesn’t exactly hate him.

As a first conversation topic, David asks Madeline what she does for work, and she answers by telling the table that she deals with the possibilities and physics of the multiverse. David understands and welcomes the concept, but Matt rejects it due to his Christian and Creationist beliefs, of which Karen also shares, but which David decidedly does not, known only to Lilith. Karen further questions Madeline about her job, and Lilith backs her up. When Karen and Matt bring the Christian Bible into it, and Lilith further retorts to them, tensions and anger rise at the table. Madeline attempts to defuse it, but it only makes it worse due to David’s continued support of her job and such possibilities, much to the dismay of his parents. Rob changes the subject to the possibility of Lilith and David dating in the future, and Madeline (and David) readily agree, but Matt and Karen immediately shoot the idea down due to how David has acted in school, again much to the annoyance of Lilith and her parents. Madeline explains that David might be autistic, but Matt again rejects her statements, which again causes tensions to rise. The anger at the table is only alleviated when Karen finally acquiesces that David and Lilith can date when they’re eighteen, to which Lilith’s parents swiftly agree.

In December 2018, David and Lilith spend Christmas together. Lilith gives him a choice between the Friends holiday episodes, or the movie The Holiday, and David chooses the latter. As the movie starts, David worries how he’ll tell Lilith he loves her, while Lilith is worried at her only having 16 hours before needing to fly back home to England. As the two slowly get physically closer, both express their desire to stay with each other- and David expresses his desire to make love to her. The two kiss passionately before eventually taking turns stripping off their clothing until nothing is left, and David and Lilith fuck each other for the first time.

By the time they cuddle up together, they’ve missed half the film. The two wonder about their futures, both apart and together, including children of their own. When David asks what she would name their potential child, Lilith answers that she would name them Autumn, after her red hair that runs in her family.

Suddenly, their vision blurs as the flashbacks end.

High Queen Lilith and King David are together in the bed of the spare room they fucked in the night before. They lay, shocked and confused, as they realize that maybe Lilith’s wondering of naming her child Autumn came true after all. None other than Aphrodite appears to confirm the titular revelation that no one else knows, that no other Davids or Liliths in the Narnia-Verse have figured out, the revelation that changes the course of entire Timelines:

Autumn wasn’t David and Susan’s daughter- she was David and Lilith’s daughter, created during that very day of Christmas sex.

Earth Lilith, just impregnated with Autumn, would go on in just over a week to die in a car crash on New Year’s night, which is how Lilith came to be in Narnia and what started her whole origin story as seen in NaturallyNarnian’s She. Aphrodite, blaming herself for not foreseeing the car crash, decided to nurture Autumn’s soul and reimplant her into Susan when David fucked her so that David and Lilith’s child would live on despite Earth Lilith’s death. It’s why Susan “has” the idea to name their daughter Autumn, it’s why Autumn was a redhead despite Susan being dark haired and David being dirty blonde. Aphrodite cites that entire Timelines change depending on Autumn’s existence, and as such Autumn had to be born that way instead of not at all. Aphrodite even mentions to the pair that another version of Lilith got to see Autumn, and shows David and Lilith what happened in the book The Last Time, including Lilith and David being with Autumn briefly after saving Autumn from the Giant that killed her in The Gentle and the Cordial, and Lilith and David’s perfect final goodbye in a Timeline more golden, including Lilith’s confession that she pretty much always loved him.

David and Lilith beg Aphrodite to bring Autumn back, and while the Goddess of Love rejects her bringing Autumn back, she agrees to have her be born again the next time David and Lilith have sex, but there’s a catch- this new Autumn will have magic, and this Lilith must become a Goddess. Lilith, furious that Aphrodite has put conditions on Autumn’s life, defies her, but Aphrodite retaliates that not only is it Lilith’s new fate to become a Goddess to bring about something she calls “the Convergence,” but also that Aphrodite doesn’t even need to ask to make it happen. But the Goddess of Love relents, seducing Lilith until the redhead finally begs her to become a Goddess for the sake of Autumn and her birth. Aphrodite ascends Lilith, and the new Goddess Lilith sends David into a brain-melting frenzy of attraction and lust. Goddess Lilith and David have sex, with her magically commanding him to impregnate her, and him obeying far beyond their desired goal. Satisfied and filled, Goddess Lilith lets David pass out from the pleasure into a blissful sleep.

The next morning, Lilith and Mrs. Beaver are dealing with Lilith and Peter’s young son and daughter Tyon and Alia over breakfast, while David tries to remain stationary in his paranoia of messing anything up. When even David detects Mrs. Beaver’s less-than-welcome greeting to him, Lilith confronts Mrs. Beaver in the nearest hallway. Mrs. Beaver disapproves of David, citing it’s only been a month since Peter and the others left for the White Stag, and to be with David so soon would mean trouble if Peter ever came back. Lilith maintains that Peter isn’t coming back, nor the rest of the Pevensies, and that she and Narnia needs someone to look forward, not back- and that David is that someone. Mrs. Beaver expresses further disapproval, especially at Lilith attempting to direct her own future, before leaving. Lilith responds by kissing David when she re-enters, declaring that together they will direct their own future.

Later that midday, Lilith and David wonder about their pasts and how they entered Narnia. Lilith uses her new magic to show David the car crash that brought her into Narnia, but David initially declines to show her his entry. That night, David realizes that if he can’t show Lilith, he can’t show anyone, that Lilith is worthy of trust necessary to share such a story. David begins, and Lilith accepts warmly. Back on Earth, David’s treatment from his father Matt gradually goes from rude to mean to mentally, verbally, and emotionally abusive. Driven to suicide, David tearfully writes a suicide note, grabs his phone and earbuds, and leaves his house at night. He finds a road occasionally driven by cars, and steps into it, smiling as the headlights approach and David ends up in Narnia just before the resulting death. After the flashback, Lilith is furious at Aphrodite for seemingly abandoning David in his time of need, before she comforts him as he breaks down sobbing in her embrace.

Some time later, Lilith, Mrs. Beaver, and Oreius debate the validity of David being crowned High King of Narnia, which Lilith defends. The coronation results in David becoming High King of Narnia alongside High Queen Lilith. Lilith gives David the new Title of Incredible, and additionally titles him King of the Stars, before she imbues magic into the crown that she then places onto his head. Lilith then decides to marry him, creating a ring for him just as he did her. Oreius marries High Queen Lilith and High King David- using Peter’s sword Rhindon, which Lilith eventually drops to kiss David, causing an absence of Narnian cheers and causing Mrs. Beaver to walk out of the Hall.

The next morning, a rushing Lilith comes across Oreius, who asks her what she did to David’s ring and crown, presuming she imbued them with her new magic, which Lilith confirms is correct, as an “in case of emergency” use. It’s this use that Oreius is precisely worried about, given that such magic is all the stars in their Narnia have talked about recently. Before Oreius can add anything, Lilith hurries away to her chamber, where she reveals her new Goddess form to a terrified Aphrodite, who summoned her. Aphrodite explains that one of the Timelines connected to them has slid into unprecedented horrors concerning an alternate, vicious, and violent superpowered Lilith wreaking havoc across the Narnia-Verse, including killing her Aslan and absorbing his power. Aphrodite explains she kicked this Scarred Lilith out from Narnia, but that she’s so powerful she won’t be out for long. As if on cue, Aphrodite suddenly learns that this Scarred Lilith has traveled through time and entered the bedroom of Earth David in early 2019, and that’s all that Goddess Lilith needs to hear to agree to go after her. Goddess Lilith teleports to David to say her temporary goodbyes, assuring him that she’ll be back. As Lilith leaves, David realizes his new inner confidence that this fresh start will bring, with him stronger than ever, not abandoned and broken, but now and forever as High King David the Incredible.

Where Goddess Lilith goes as David rules her Narnia: Across the Narnia-Verse

David beginning to rule Lilith’s Narnia in her absence: Revolution Part 1: Inferno

//////

  • Revolution Part 1: Inferno:

The second story in the Revelation Timeline, following Revelation.

In 2014, David and Lilith watch “Rango” through a video call. Lilith remarks that Rango reminded her of David. David happily replies by espousing on something he calls “referential adaptation,” in which he takes anything from visual to auditory happenings and relates them to references, for example movies, in order to better analyze, process, and adapt to situations and environments. Lilith also states that Rango’s heroism reminded her of David as well. When David expresses his doubt over being a hero, Lilith reaffirms that if nothing else, she believes him to be.

In David’s abandoned Narnia, his son Arthur along with his Witch girlfriend Mara conspire to kill and overthrow David. Together, Mara and Arthur stole all the spellbooks from under the nose of Leah the Records Keeper. Mara absorbs all the contents and knowledge of every book, exponentially increasing her magical power to borderline Goddesshood. Mara magically searches Narnia for David and is unable to find him in the whole universe, much to Arthur’s dismay.

In Lilith’s Narnia, a confident David awakens to a winter morning, and comes upon Oreius. David’s excitement to check out the magically-preserved Cair Paravel Gardens fades almost immediately upon encountering the chrysanthemums. David remembers them as being Susan’s favorite color yellow, but here they are purple, since Lilith’s Susan’s favorite color was purple. Seeing as the Gardens now serves as a reminder that this isn’t his Narnia and that he inadvertently abandoned his Narnia like his Susan and Pevensies did, David requests Oreius to not let him in the Gardens again.

At the usual assembly of Lilith’s Narnian Court, David explains that it’s been 28 days since Lilith temporarily left Narnia, for reasons that he doesn’t reveal to them but assures that her departure was necessary. One of the Court members, a Duke by name of Lord Rillingtoff of the Western Lantern Waste, voices his doubts of David. The two verbally spar until a Captain, Heath Wethers, breaks up the debate and the meeting, dispersing the others. Heath mentions to David and Oreius that there’s movement along the Northern coastline and requests a group to go with as a scouting party, which they agree to send.

Much later that night, Heath’s patrol party finds themselves up an Ettinsmoor Mountain and comes across a lone wolf, one of the Rebels secretly amassing since the White Witch’s demise at the Battle of Beruna. Heath waxes lyrical on various torture methods to rattle the unfazed Rebel, but the wolf ends up rattling Heath when he declares the end of Narnia’s safety has already begun- which ends up being the Rebel’s last words.

David trains with Oreius, but his lack of sword-fighting ability combined with his frustration and doubts causes his training to be less than efficient, prompting Oreius to suggest they pause for breakfast. As they put away their weapons, a messenger comes upon them and warns them of a spreading fire in the Castle town. The fire started at an armory and eventually spread to four more buildings next to it until David, Oreius, Narnian reinforcements, and anyone who can help finally extinguish the blaze.

At the next Court meeting, the fire is debated on. David and the Court theorize that the fire was started by a band of rebels, and David offers to investigate the fire personally.
