    Summary

    The first job after Lucy’s abrupt departure, Lockwood calls Holly Luce twice without thinking and bites his tongue hard enough to bleed. Holly’s unfailingly polite about it, because Holly’s unfailingly polite about everything, but he can’t miss the way she flinches, or the way George refuses to look at either of them. He can taste his embarrassment on the backs of his teeth, bitter and coppery where it mingles with the blood from his tongue.

    It's just an adjustment period, he tells himself. Sure, there’s an empty space at his right shoulder all night where he keeps looking for Lucy entirely on instinct, one he hasn’t the first idea how to go about correcting, or even if he wants to—but it’s the first night. It’s to be expected. He thinks: It’ll get better.

    But really, it just gets worse.

    (or, the black winter fic in which lucy's absence haunts lockwood and the narrative both.)

    Summary

    That’s when his brain latched on. Once it had been thought, Lockwood was doomed.

    Lucy, combined with his own last name, would also make a lovely little alliteration. It would certainly be a lot more than just a little lovely and he felt heat creep up his neck.

    Lucy Lockwood.

    Summary

    It took Lucy a couple days of being employed at Lockwood and Co. to realize it, but 35 Portland Row actually had a fourth occupant besides herself, George, and Lockwood. She was made aware of this on the morning of her third day with the company, when something furry brushed against her leg under the kitchen table, making her shriek and drop her spoon.

    Summary

    The first time it happened, he’d been twelve and still working for Gravedigger Sykes. That time, it had been triggered by death-glows at a cluster haunting that had killed almost ten people before an agency had been called in to get it sorted.

    Sykes had only grunted, dosed him with children’s paracetamol, and tossed him his first pair of sunglasses. They were scratched and comically large on his pre-teenaged face, but did the job and prevented another attack for over a year.

     

    Or, missing scenes throughout canon as Lockwood struggles with chronic migraines. Also as he falls in love with Lucy Carlyle (to use a possibly overused turn of phrase) slowly, and then all at once.
