Summary
‘Quill,’ Lockwood breathes. There’s something there that he’s only heard once in Lockwood’s voice before—barely repressed sorrow and quiet rage. And he’s somehow back, sixteen years old at Jess’ funeral, Tony across from him—hunched and folding like the origami Quill’s dad had brought back from the war—quivering with apology, while Quill shakes with fury, hot pain coursing through his heart.
He pushes himself upright, his head screaming in pain. And what of his heart? Hasn’t he become numb to its persistent beat, to the sun’s inevitable rise when the world should have ended long before? Ned’s death, a byline in the paper, just like every agent prior.

Summary
Kipps and Lockwood manage to trap themselves in the basement on a case. As you can imagine, both are thrilled with their fortune. Mostly showverse set some indeterminate time after season 1.
Locklyle ending!
“Tell me one good idea, then.”
Lockwood slowly surveyed the room. A dingy little basement in a shack of a house on the outskirts of London. With black mold, old dented pipes, and a rusting heavy door. It didn’t look great.
“And?” Kipps prompted.
“I’m thinking,” Lockwood hissed back, “which I’d be able to do a lot better if I didn’t have your bloody blubbering in my ear.” Lockwood imitated Kipps, “‘Tony, how will we possibly get out of this?’ You sound like a damsel in distress, Kipps. Guess that would make me the charming prince.”

Summary
"That’s a relief. Though I would have preferred you weren’t hurt at all," Lockwood said softly.
"So would I, especially since I did this to myself," Lucy said with a sigh. Lockwood looked at her questioningly, and she continued, "I may have ever so gracefully tripped on the stairs."
Lockwood laughed, surprised. "Oh Luce, I was imagining a heroic fight between you and the poltergeists where you bravely fought them off and then cleverly identified and secured the source using that brilliant Talent of yours."
Lucy smiled, feeling a warmth settle in her chest and a comforting fuzziness prickling at her skin. "Oh, no, that still happened, just with a twisted ankle. Which really makes it all the more impressive."
Lockwood bumped his shoulder into hers. "Oh I have no doubt about that, Luce."
Set somewhere within The Creeping Shadow timeline. Lockwood patches up an injured Lucy, and this time, he doesn't get a Holly scolding.

Summary
“You do realise what you’re taking on, don’t you?” I said, trying to match his business-like tone. “If you really are going to insist on playing nursemaid until I can get back on my feet, that’s all very well and good, and I am truly grateful. But my reasons for leaving the company still stand and that’s not going to change. When I get better, I will be going back to freelancing, and you’re going to resent me, Lockwood.”
“I already resent you,” he said. “It makes no difference to me whether I do it from a distance or the comfort of my own living room.”
A bad case and broken leg leave Lucy no choice but to return to Portland Row until she recovers. Lockwood is definitely not using this as an opportunity to persuade her to come back for good, because that would be unfair. And he never plays dirty.

Summary
“Why?” She demands, her voice rough, contrasting his whisper a few moments ago.
He looks at her for a second, studying her, frowning. Exasperated, he throws his hands up and asks back, “Why?”
“Yes! Why do you want to share this with me?”
His expression breaks, and he laughs “I thought it was obvious.”
Stamping her foot, Lucy says, “Lockwood! Nothing about you is obvious to me!”
He laughs even harder, grabs her hand, and drags her close to him, his arms wrapped around her, and it throws her mind into chaos, overwhelmed by everything that is him. “Sure about that, Luce? Think you read me like an open book now.”
Spoilers for The Empty Grave. This takes place immediately after the book ends… hopping onto the “Lucy and Lockwood take a walk” train.

Summary
It's quiet, too quiet. Lockwood can hear his own blood pounding through his ears. He looks wildly around the basement and finds it hard to swallow the lump in his throat. He hangs his head – it’s impossible not to think about Lucy. Despite everything these past months – the fights, the worry, the stress of it all – he can’t fully get her out of his mind. It's deeply worrying, because normally he’s so good at this, after years and years of packing painful memories away into boxes in his mind. But right now, he feels flayed and raw and so tired.
Lucy leaves, and Lockwood does not handle it well, continuously plotting to get her back. Covers Lucy’s departure from Lockwood & Co, their talk in her flat, the Ealing case, and her return.

Summary
“How are we supposed to,” George motions at Lucy with his hands, “get her upstairs?”
“We’re obviously going to carry her.”
“Are we? Lockwood, have you looked at us?”
“George, where’s your ingenuity?”
Sighing, George walks over to Lucy and kneels next to Lockwood, “So head or feet?”
“Head. You take feet.”
George rolls his eyes at him. “Of course. No surprises there,” and as Lockwood’s about to interrupt, he rushes on, saying, “Maybe we should put her on something?”
“Sure, want to pull a stretcher out of… oh that’s right, George, we don’t have one.”
“Piss off, Lockwood. Don’t we have a wheelbarrow in the garden?”
“George, we’re not stuffing her in a wheelbarrow.”
With Lucy passed out in the basement, Lockwood reckons with his past. Takes place immediately after Episode 3.
Book spoilers for The Hollow Boy.

Summary
“I should have died, Lockwood. God knows I deserved it… so many agents died on my watch. They were just children, and I couldn’t–” he puts his head in his hands.
“Jessica’s death was my fault,” Lockwood says slowly, “Robin’s too. I know the feeling.”
Kipps scoffs, “No one’s died since I’ve known you. You always bloody save everyone.”
"I–” Lockwood swallows. “I can’t tell you how many times I didn’t give a shit what happened to me. I thought about death constantly, how much I deserved it.” Kipps looks up at him, his face wet. “It wasn’t your fault, Quill,” Lockwood says. “And you definitely don’t deserve it.”
Lockwood visits Kipps in the hospital.
Book spoilers for The Empty Grave.

Summary
It’s not often that Lockwood dissociates, and it doesn’t happen now. He’s good in a crisis, action oriented, lucid, and incredibly alert. He's always thankful for it in the moment, but at night, when he’s trying to shut his mind off, it doesn’t help as much. He pictures a dark room in his head, a new box in front of him, the crystal clear images of his memories in his hands, and one by one, he places them into this new box, and shoves it away into a corner with all the other boxes labeled, dangerous, do not open. He wonders, if he ever dared to examine all of them, how many boxes of memories he’s accumulated and compartmentalized over the years.
And now, in this moment, as Holly says, “There’s been an accident,” he knows he’ll eventually be packing another box soon.
George is attacked, and Lockwood spends a lot of time at the hospital, barely holding it together.
Book spoilers for The Empty Grave.

Summary
“If you're looking for the paper, I threw it out. Nothing in there seemed important," Lockwood says. He had been doing this ever since she told him that she was leaving, and it was making it that much harder to find a place she could rent. She had been pounding the pavement, making calls, and had taken to nicking the paper from neighbors and cafes just to review the listings of available flats.
“You bloody well know I could have used that,” she says, turning to him, arms crossed, fuming.
He observes her, eyes hard. “Your ad showed up on page six today,” he finally says, “'Lucy Carlyle: consultant psychic investigation agent. Aural phenomena a specialty.’” His voice is flat. “Like I said, nothing important in the paper today.” He stands, giving her a wide berth as he walks past her, without looking back.
Lockwood tries to convince Lucy to stay. It doesn't go well.
Book spoilers, most notably for The Hollow Boy and The Creeping Shadow.

Summary
His fingers ghost her ribcage, slip around her side, skimming the edge of her bra line, and her body shivers into him, while her heart breaks.
She wants to scream, but instead she feels like she might cry instead. She opens her mouth to say something or maybe to shout at him, that he can’t leave without her, but he says, “I know.” He sighs, “I know.”
Lucy and Lockwood deal with nightmares and talk about death after the Other Side. Bed sharing.
Book spoilers, most notably for The Hollow Boy and The Creeping Shadow. Mild spoilers for The Empty Grave, as this takes place towards the end of The Creeping Shadow and the beginning of The Empty Grave.
