    Summary

    '“I know you’re not sleeping,” Asriel says, his voice a deep rumble, made soft by the late hour and the company he keeps. “You used to be better at pretending.”

    Marisa smiles but doesn’t look at him, instead looking at the ceiling and the dancing shadows she finds there. “I wasn’t pretending.”

    It would be easy to pretend here. In this room, this bed, with this man… oh yes, it would be incredibly easy to pretend that nothing has happened to them, that they are still the young explorers they once were, drunk off each other and the thrill of the chase for knowledge. Even though they aren’t, she feels that they have grown old.'

    It's three years later and the secret gets harder to keep. A 'what if she kept Lyra' AU.
