Summary
"She was almost disappointed, in a way. She had heard the word uncle without knowing what to expect; her only experience with that had been Lord Asriel, who was after all, her father. Even then, she couldn’t tell if he had been a good uncle, and she didn’t like to dwell on him, so she just brushed away her thoughts. Then she tried conceptualizing Mrs. Coulter - her mother - and all she remembered was the flair, the elegance, the sleek figure and menacing presence, a looming ghost of cruelty and sweetness. The man sitting across her was entirely blank, the very definition of dull."
AU pre-The Secret Commonwealth, where Lyra finds out her mother left her some money, under the condition she spends time with her aloof uncle.

Summary
"Lyra allowed herself to be inspected, out of uncertainty more than anything else, and because Marcel’s voice was echoing in her head, telling her to behave. She realised, however, that whatever caution she felt towards him did not outweigh the feeling her grandmother inspired on her. It wasn’t just fear; it was the thrill for the unknown."
Lyra visits Madame Delamare at her New Year's Eve party trying to know more about the little family she has left. AU where Marcel and Lyra get along, pre-The Secret Commonwealth events.
