Summary
[...]
Lyra reached out to touch her mother's hand, she wanted to feel that this was beyond a hallucination. Nothing made sense. She woke up in a room that wasn't hers with a dead person."Are you real?" Lyra had to ask as she held her mother's hand to her face. It felt like a dream and a very bad dream at that.
"What kind of question is that, Lyra? Again that?" Marisa looked at her worriedly, as if that was expected.
"You're dead."
"I'm afraid we're going to have to consult with Dr. Cooper again, she'll know what to do in this case again. I'm not dead, Lyra. I'm right here." Marisa used her sweetest tone, the same tone she used when she needed to convince Lyra of something.

"ASRIEL" Marisa shouted with her hand outstretched.She could expect no less, he was Asriel above all else.

Deep down, she knew he was the one who wanted to be remembered for all eternity, remembered for the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of everyone and a daughter who never called. Asriel sacrificed himself for himself and for believing he would change the world.

Summary
[...] "What are you doing here?" Lyra asked, taking Marisa by surprise - or at least she pretended surprise. Mother and daughter knew they were good at faking emotions, they had perfected this practice even more in recent years; they never knew when something was really true.
Marisa didn't look away from the flames for a while, aware of Lyra's impatient and questioning gaze.
"Lighting a candle." Marisa's soft, nonchalant voice was purposeful, her tool for treating exceptional events as casual. [...]

Unholy Ghosts by LavenderJam

Summary
The two people appeared from behind the small building, scarves wrapped around their faces to ward off the cold, and Lyra beamed at them, keen to make a good impression on her new colleagues. She was about to take a step towards the pair when their dæmons appeared behind them, and Lyra’s mouth could do nothing but fall open, her heart starting to rattle in her chest as her gaze swept over a snow leopard and a golden monkey.
She blinked a few times, her breaths becoming harsh rasps, but each close of her eyes only served to bring them closer to her, until she could see each black spot that dotted the snow leopard’s silver coat. “No,” she breathed, and Pan was as frozen in shock as she was. “No, no, no. It can’t be – it can’t – ”
(Five years after the end of The Amber Spyglass, Lyra receives a mysterious summons to the North.)
