I really liked it! The whole "other Lyra" idea is an extremely interesting concept. I like how you explored it. Great job! :)

A very lovely little oneshot that fits so very nicely and is so very very much what would have happened. Kudos!

I really hope you continue writing this, it's very good!

But...Of course...If ANYONE in this world was another Lyra...Or perhaps her sister...It would be me. XD

I still love it though!

Absolutely heartbreaking.

Too sentimental? Take out the 'absolutely', but it's still heartbreaking.

That is very interesting. A girl very similar to Lyra with a similar history. Even meeting Will post trilogy. Well done.

Very intriguing. I've asked this question myself a few times (in Will's alternate universe, would Lyra exist? and vice versa), and I love the story you wove out of that question. It was original and sad... Poor Will! To think that in his own world is a girl just like Lyra, but even then they can't be together and it wouldn't be the same.

I really loved this.

Another great story, SnapDragonSmile. Short, sad, and powerful. And I like the fact that it plays with the possiblility (mentioned by Will and Lyra themselves)of there being other versions of them.

I was very relieved to read the possibility of a relationship between Lily and Will fade as soon as it appeared. I liked that, but then, maybe I'm just mean.

All in all, a brilliant story of a rare and interesting kind. Good work.

PS.
Why does Lily have a different na,e to Lyra but Roger Parslow is the same? Wait - don't answer - sorry. Seriously, I don't care.

Hi, very nicely written. I'm a little surprised you did not continue. S.

Wow, that was amazing. I never even thought about the idea of another Lyra, but you wrote it so believably! I feel really sorry for Will, of course, but I can see why Lily didn't go to him. It would be awkward all around.

Fantastically amazing!

Spooky. And sad. In a good way, of course. The story was excellent. Still, the thought that events of such import can be brushed by like a stranger in a crowd... Well, it's a bit depressing.

Lily was right to leave him be. Had she been any different, perhaps things would have worked. But Lyra and Will promised each other that, if they married other people, they wouldn't waste their lives in futile comparisons to what they had lost, and Lily would've been a constant reminder. Almost the same, but not quite, and those very similarities eventually would have destroyed him, and most likely her.
