Summary
In writing the Reaction Posts of Dust, one idea I pondered for "how would I fix the Book of Dust trilogy?" is "instead of putting Lyra through a weird character arc that doesn't flow naturally from her HDM experiences...give that arc to a new character Lyra can be narrative foils with."
Here's my rewrite of The Secret Commonwealth, with Lyra's foil included.

Hunter is trying to prove that he's worthy of being the Golden Guard. Willow is trying to prove to her palisman Clover that everything is fine, and they don't need to carry so much anger around anymore.
They might not solve all their problems together. But maybe they can at least solve one.

Summary
Ever since that fateful night where Emperor Belos almost petrified Eda and blowing up their portal door home was the only way to save her, Luz and her daemon Mari can divide their life into two distinct parts: Before, and After.
Now stuck with no way back to the Human Realm, with no way back home, there’s little the pair can do but try their best to figure something out, like they always have, some way to survive, in this world so removed from the one they grew up in. Even in this world of witches and palismen and no daemons at all, a world that breaks all the rules of their own, they can be good, can be worth something, to make up for every mistake they’ve ever made, right?
But Luz and Mari’s summer in the Boiling Isles was never supposed to go this far.

Summary
At twenty years old, Lyra is no longer protected by the virtue of scholastic sanctuary, and the Magisterium's antagonism towards her is hardly veiled anymore. Her life is openly in danger, and with new mysteries that seem to emerge out of nowhere, she discovers that her days of investigating Dust and the taboos of experimental theology are far from over.
And to make things more complicated, the last person she expected to see again has returned to Jordan College.

Summary
“Standard dueling rules- neither daemon is tae get involved,” Buttons proclaimed loudly, his eyes fastened on Izzy's swooping, chittering kestrel. “This ain’t a test of tooth against claw, ye ken; else a man wi’ a cuddly creature wouldnae stand a chance. Pure swordsmanship, aye.”

“Here,” Jim’s voice made Lucius blink out of his little reverie. “If this turns into a fight, we can at least stop the bleeding first.”
“Yeah,” Lucius breathed, his eyes still fixed on the growing duel. “Bleeding. Sure. Wouldn’t want that.”
“Well, I don’t wanna trip in it,” Jim said as they took his hand, and Lucius had no idea if they were joking.
