All the Things She Said (HDM Series)

Series description: After a rather unlucky coincidence, Lord Asriel is left alone on his supposed expedition to meet the king of Lapland. Thanks to Thorold's advances, he's lucky enough to get an assistant sent over from the University of Oxford.

Pairing: Asriel Belaqua x fem!reader

Author's notes:

I have a few things to say. Be aware that I haven't read The Northern Lights trilogy by Phillip Pullman, so my understanding of Lyra's world might be either limited or wrong on occasion. I'm trying my best to go through all of the information sources I'm able to find on the internet. I've finished The Golden Compass (New Line Cinema, 2007) and His Dark Matters (HBO, 2019 - 2022; I presume) so while my understanding of the setting might not be perfect, it isn't the worst I'd say. The story is set sometime around Asriel's expedition to 'Lapland' so it shouldn't interfere with any other cannon moments of the story since I hate altering the cannon to my liking all that much. And since both the movie and show start with Asriel coming back from the first expedition, I don't think there are a lot of other backstories in the books and the past events are giving us through the characters? (For example, Iorek Byrnison explains to Lyra and the reader/watcher by proxy the situation of the armoured bears but there's not an explicit flashback, only exposition for how things went down?) So I think that events of the past are kept vague for a reason and the author lets us fill out the blanks using our own imagination except for the times he specifically lays out events that we need to take a notice of.

Shortly, I should get away with this series and won't defy cannon.
