A/n Before you read this, let it be known that I (unfortunately) do not own
Lyra, Will, Mary Malone, Pantalaimon, Kirjava, and everyone. The only
people I own are Sarika and Emily. As well, I know that most people are
looking for funny HDM fics, but I am not good at making funny fics, so this
is the best thing I can come up with.
It is ten years after Will and Lyra said goodbye in the Botanic Garden. Lyra joined Dame Hannah's boarding school, where she learned all the scientific things about Dust, and where she studied the alethiometer in her spare time. She met many girls at the school, and became quite good friends with Sarika Spires and her daemon, Kylona. When Lyra turned eighteen, she joined Dame Hannah's college, St. Sophia's, on a scholarship to study the alethiometer full-time. By the time Lyra was twenty-one, she could read the alethiometer with only a little help from the books, and now, at age twenty-three, she can answer a short question in ten to fifteen minutes and a more complicated one in about half an hour. She has graduated from the college and now lives near Jordan College with Sarika.
Will went to live with Mary Malone and her daemon, Temiral, in a flat near a large secondary school. He made many good friends at the school, although some people avoided him because of his mutilated left hand. Mary took a job at a nearby college, teaching students about Dust and what Lyra would call experimental theology. Mary earned enough money to get Will's mother medical care, but it wasn't enough, and when Will was sixteen, she died. Will sank into a depression for nearly four months, but the prospect of learning to drive brought him out of it. (A/N That is a very lame excuse for coming out of a depression, esp. for Will, but it's the best I can come up with () When Will turned eighteen, he went to university, where he studied architecture. While there, he met Emily McArthur, who was studying anthropology, and they began to date, although Will never felt the same way about her as he did Lyra. At age twenty-three, Will asked Emily to marry him, and she accepted. They moved into an apartment about fifteen minutes away from Mary, if you walked, and preparations for the wedding are in progress.
