Almost Familiar by MickyRC for Megchad22

Summary
Warlock couldn't help being a little underwhelmed by Soho. There was nothing there that really struck him.
Except that bookshop. That weird little street corner that didn’t match up at all with the bars and clubs all around it. That place was interesting. The paint was chipping, and the windows were too dusty to see through, but it felt… safe, sort of. A calm little patch of quiet at the center of London’s hustle and bustle. Something about it was… almost familiar.
In which Warlock thinks he's been abandoned, Crowley and Aziraphale think Warlock is dead, and they all find each other anyway.

Summary
King Midas was a man of great fortune. Fate favoured him and more; his heart’s greatest desire would be granted to him. Everything he touched turned to gold! But, alas, his triumph became a curse! His ruthless, single-minded pursuit cost him his daughter, trapped in gold!
There is a second part to this story, oft forgotten: Midas atoned, and his daughter was returned to him, his flesh and blood once more, to be folded into loving arms, now his heart’s most cherished. Then, happiness, gratitude, the love of living, breathing treasures, and the pursuit of a better life on Earth replaced the endless, relentless quest for coldest gold and impossible castles in the sky.In other words, the golden monkey reaches out to Lyra, and the world changes.

Summary
She frowned. “Mother always tells me that I’m not ladylike at all.”
“And what do I always tell you?”
“That being ladylike is for vapid women who lack ambition,” she parroted.
“Exactly,” Father said. Lyra grinned, and Pantalaimon became a coral snake on her shoulder, his belly an electric blue and his head a fiery orange, like the tip of a match. “And while your mother may pretend well,” Father continued, the corner of his lip quirking up, “don’t forget that she’s no lady either.” He turned back to his book. “Now run along.”
(The world in which Marisa and Asriel choose each other in the wake of the murder, take Lyra, and run.)
