* ''Comments'': Hands down the best Lyra/Will reunion fic. The author succeeds particularly well at human/daemon interactions and you can tell they’ve thought through what Lyra and Will’s lives would have become post-Amber Spyglass. The author also confirms the story is set post-Secret Commonwealth, the forthcoming second book in Pullman’s new trilogy. Can’t recommend this one enough. Seriously if you're still recovering from the Amber Spyglass this one is for us.

The prophecy contained more than anybody was told. As both Lyra and Will work towards reuniting, they find themselves carried willingly towards that hidden destiny.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Pairing(s)'': Lord Asriel/Mrs Coulter
* ''Synopsis'': Marisa had never in her life felt so denied and so faded as she did when that atrocious man took her hand. He contemptuously measured her (and everyone else) with his eyes and a know-it-all smirk that made her eye twitch, ever so slightly. It was only for a second, and she knew no one else noticed when her bright smile faded for an instant, but she also knew he saw it. A second later and she was back to her normal, glorious self, but the damage had been done already.
* ''Comments'': A stunning piece about Marisa and Asriel's affair, from Marisa's perspective. Follows every detail from their first meeting to the end of their relationship, and is beautifully written in every moment. The first in a pair - followed by ''amargor''.

* ''Status'': Complete
* ''Pairing(s)'': Lord Asriel/Mrs Coulter
* ''Synopsis'': Asriel harbours no love for boundaries, he gets what he wants by either power, money or influence, or by merely asking, for who could say no to a man like him? Whatever the price, he can pay or so he thinks.
* ''Comments'': Following on from ''Sinful Eloquence'', with Asriel's perspective of the affair, and continuing through the series. Just as beautifully written and just as enjoyable as its predecessor.

''Fanfic/ExistenceIsTheMostExcitingThingOfAll'' by Sailor Ptah
* Recommended by Completely Different
* Crossover/CanonWelding with Podcast/WelcomeToNightVale
* Status: Complete, with a two-shot sequel and another sequel forthcoming.
* ''Synopsis'': Carlos and his Magisterium-approved team are on a mission to study Rusakov particles in the most theologically interesting community in Hispania Nova. They are in no way prepared for anything they're about to meet. (A partial list: angels, witches, hooded spectres, portals between worlds, and a man who walks around with no daemon in sight and knows things he shouldn't possibly be able to know.)
* Comment: While the simple premise of "What if the characters of Night Vale had daemons?" alone could have served as an interesting concept, the author goes even further, seamlessly melding the two universes and giving us an interesting possibility to how Carlos reacted to the weirdness that is Night Vale.

* ''Synopsis'': A door missed - or left apurpose - can be found even when you aren't looking for it. Takes place after ''TheAmberSpyglass.''
* ''Comments'': Yes, it's one of a million stories reuniting Will and Lyra again -- but this one actually pulls it off incredibly well. Aside from a few logistical issues, the story really feels like a part of the original books, on every level -- including a strong narrative voice, believably mature Will and Lyra, and strong characterization overall.

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1334334/1/The_Lonely_Traveler The Lonely Traveler]]'' by Cory Calhoun
*Recommended by @/{{Thagomizer}}
*''Synopsis'': Intended to be the first of a trilogy, would follow Lyra, Will, and their children in their respective universes, and a new character as they work to establish the Republic of Heaven.
*''Comments'': Easily the best fanfiction in a series sorely lacking in it, this is one of the best fanfics I've ever read. Sadly, it was guillotined by the author before it really began to take flight, but what is there is still an incredible read.
