Summary
“Look,” said the girl, “here’s how it is. We used to have a goose on the team. It was good, because technically he was an adult so we could claim him as our supervisor, and DEPRAC couldn’t do a damn thing about it. We and Goose… well we parted company and in the last five months we’ve seen off six DEPRAC-appointed supervisors, because…” She hesitated.
“They are bad managers who simply don’t understand our team dynamics, and unique but proven approach to psychical investigation,” said Posh Boy (Yep. This is what we’re gonna call him for the duration of this narrative).
Lucy went on. “So when Inspector Barnes told us to ‘hire our own bloody adult’, my mind immediately said ‘What’s the best kind of adult? An adult goose.’ So honestly, what we’re looking for is someone anarchic who doesn’t give a damn what we do, but will defend us fiercely if DEPRAC get their knickers in a knot.”

Summary
I feel like my title answers all the questions you might have about this plot.
This is a gift for Kate/Barrons. She knows what she did to deserve this, and if that sounds ambiguously either friendly or threatening, you’ve got the gist of the vibe this work has.
Basically, the Skull doesn’t exist in this AU. There’s a goose who makes wisecracks and hangs out with the squad, although he may not be an entirely reliable narrator.

Summary
What if the skull wasn’t who he is, but another person who was in Edmund Bickerstaff’s weird little circle? What if socialite-turned-(justified)-murderer Mary Dulac was a bunch of ectoplasm forever tied to a skull in a jar?
What if instead of a murderous lunatic ghost frenemy, Lucy had an ectoplasmic gal pal she could hang out with and confide in?
And what if that Victorian-valued friend had Strong Views about the suitability of a certain A.J. Lockwood as a potential suitor?

Summary
Lockwood realises something about his feelings for Lucy, but before he can take the time to process it all, there is a kidnapping, a desperate act and a terrible betrayal.
There are so many ways this could result in angst.

Summary
Herberos leapt up onto the giant’s back, rapier held between his teeth. He climbed up the ragged brown cloth that served as its clothing, until he reached the head. There, he pulled out Minty’s crossbow bolt, from where it still pierced the giant’s neck. Wielding it like a stake, he plunged it into the brain and…
“Lockwood!”
“Tony!”
“You can’t just make up whatever you want!”
“That’s at minimum an athletics check, Lockwood.”
Naomi sighed. She knew she ought to be used to it by now. Holly had warned her. And they were actually a really fun group. She supposed agents needed to think creatively on the job, so they had some imagination and the Lockwood and Co. team really brought it with them to the game table. They just didn’t always bring it with them in a way conducive to a game of Dungeons and Dragons.

Holly’s girlfriend has got Lockwood & Co. playing D&D. They are not necessarily all playing the same game.
