    I find it surprising that between the books, the ‘Golden Compass’ movie, and the serialization of the ‘Dark Materials’ trilogy, that Pullman’s works haven’t acquired more Fanfic followers!  As in, this is the only fanfic writing based on them on this site.  Never mind that, as stories of adolescent sexual adventures go, this was very well written, and very much  in character of both Pullman’s story and the personalities of Will and Lyra. Well done!

    First I'd like to say His Dark materials has been and will remain one of my most treasured series. This is the first fanfiction I've indulged in for this book, half expecting it to be a grammatical and under dramatized atrocity (which, unfortunately is a common occurence in the fanfiction world). How wrong I was to my great delight! I squealed, I sighed, I swooned, and I absolutely adored this fic.You stayed in plot and character so well, which is difficult following an amazing writer like Philip Pullman. The detailing, like Lyra's hymen being non-intact, and her fascination with his zipper, not only made the transition from the book to the story smooth, but made it a completely plausible scenario. But what put this story beyond and above so many others is that your lines are beautiful;
    "She was equally thrilled and panicked at the wonderful and terrifying inevitability." I read this line several times, so enthralled was I by it.
    "She was a nymph, the goddess of adolescent sex." Which is how I viewed Lyra to be given the right circumstances. It was truly a pleasure to find this story and I thank you for writing it. Like the book, I know I will be reading it many times again.

    Great work! HDM has been my favorite book series for a long time, and I've always wondered if there were any fics here. And there are! YAY! Again, great job! Very in-character for both Will and Lyra.

    Finally, a His Dark Material's fic. I've been waiting ever since I read the books myself. You captured Lyra and Will rather well, I thought and it really hits home how much they love each other...and makes the ending of the books that much more tragic. Heh...I thought only Full Metal Alchemist screwed their characters over like that...but what this author did to his two main characters seems a little...evil. Anyway, you did good!
