You Cannot Shut The Windows Of The Sky by ErinPtah for oddishly
Fandoms: His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman
13 Nov 2016
Tags
Summary
Snapshots, mostly outsider-POV, as Will and Lyra grow up. Gaining skill and prestige in their respective fields, helping science (and/or experimental theology) march forward...oh, and learning how to communicate from one world to another.
Works fine as a standalone fic, if you haven't read the rest of the series. And if you have, it'll fill in some gaps in the backstory.

The Silver and Golden Commonwealth by ErinPtah

Summary
In writing the Reaction Posts of Dust, one idea I pondered for "how would I fix the Book of Dust trilogy?" is "instead of putting Lyra through a weird character arc that doesn't flow naturally from her HDM experiences...give that arc to a new character Lyra can be narrative foils with."
Here's my rewrite of The Secret Commonwealth, with Lyra's foil included.

Five (And Then Some) Heart Crystals The Death Busters Never Stole by ErinPtah
Fandoms: Battlestar Galactica (2003), Doctor Who, Fake News FPF, Puella Magi Madoka☆Magica, Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon, His Dark Materials

Summary
What it says on the tin. Heart crystals that Kaolinite and the Witches 5 would have gone after, if only they'd existed in the same series.
Most of these involve AU versions of the crossover characters' canon settings. Just pretend those years and areas were the ones in which the Death Busters set up shop...and then ignore all the continuity issues that brings up.

He Says He Is An Experimental Theologian by ErinPtah
Fandoms: Welcome to Night Vale, His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman
05 Feb 2021
Tags
Summary
Ever since Carlos was little, he and his daemon have been fans of Dr. Lyra Belacqua. Both as the most groundbreaking experimental theologian of the 20th century, and as the heroine of dozens of fantasy-adventure children's stories (based very loosely on her own mysterious childhood).
But Lyra's true legacy is still bigger than Carlos ever imagined...until he took a team of scholars to study Rusakov particles in the most theologically interesting community in Hispania Nova. Now his own day-to-day life is full of things like angels, witches, hooded spectres, portals between worlds, vague yet menacing branches of the Magisterium, and a man who walks around without his daemon and can read an alethiometer as easily as a stop sign.

Summary
Steven has never felt as connected with his daemon as people are supposed to. And he did, technically, sort of, almost leave the house without her one time. But that's probably fine, right? Or at least, it's not as bad as it sounds?
Until he sees footage of his body looking into a security camera, with Zillah riding on his shoulder and giving it exactly the same intense stare, and that's not him.
