...either that, or having to go borrow a bell for an exorcism in case they're just possessed by an Author-Wraith. But then again, where would Suethor get the bodies? That abyss was bottomless for a reason...
Thank you, though. My agents are most grateful. I do give you a large block of chocolate in gratitude.
I am almost done with my second mission, in the His Dark Materials continuum, barring one annoying little issue.
The fic is post- Amber Spyglass, but Marisa and Asriel have somehow survived the abyss.
The author gives no explanation of this, beyond OH HAY LOOK THEY SURVIVED AND LYRA DOESN'T KNOW. There was supposed to be a part 3 (I took care of the two existing ones) which might have done so, but...
Now, canon has been "on holiday," as Agent Teek put it, for thirteen years- the length of time for which Lyra and Will have been happily married and had a daughter.
Question being, will canon take care of this one on its own, or is it currently too weak? And what do the Agents do about this if it can't?
Personally, I would say that canon is too weak to take care of the problem on its own. The combination of Marisa and Asriel surviving the abyss and Lyra and Will still being together is extremely damaging.
Check Marisa and Asriel with the CAD. They may turn out to be a replacement Sue and Stu, in which case you can kill them. Problem solved.
