    Summary

    “I’m fine.”

    One of her eyebrows rises high enough to be hidden behind her fringe.

    “This is what I’m trained for,” he brushes off her obvious skepticism.

    “For combat, yeah,” she agrees. “Not for the enemy being your own mind-controlled teammates, or for your best friend to get taken as leverage by Blood Witches. And,” she glances around, but the outdoor area is devoid of other students. “I know you were on weird terms, but…Beatrix…”

    His face falls immediately, although he tries — and fails — to cover it up by clearing his throat and changing his posture to stare off into the distance instead of at her.

    “I’m not sure what happened between you two, but I know you cared about her, for some time at least.”

    Summary

    It's twenty to nine, and the starry sky is a deep shade of midnight blue, and Erin's arm is still linked with James'.

    As it has been for the better part of two minutes by now.

    Erin's pretty sure she should probably let go at some point, or maybe that's James' responsibility, what does she know, she's no expert, but he's not made any move to shake off her arm and Erin doesn't know how to unlink it without making it terribly awkward. She's also becoming increasingly concerned that the point she was supposed to let go lies about two minutes in the past when they stepped out onto the street, and aware that it's only gonna get more difficult with every step they take -

    But she also won't mind holding on to it a little longer. Not that much, anyway.

     

    Or; Erin and James on their long walk to the prom.

    Summary

    The first time Anthony Lockwood has the passing thought that he’d like very much to kiss Lucy Carlyle is approximately three hours after he first met her.

    Look, he’s not carved out of stone. It doesn’t matter that he already knows how pointless it is to chase after kites, crave an extra biscuit or an afternoon in the sun — a beautiful idea is still beautiful, and when a pretty girl walks into his flat, it’s going to cross his mind.

    Summary

    “You could hold me out over the edge of that balcony in the office and pretend to drop me,” I suggested.
    “I will have to laugh about that one later, Lucy.”
    -
    Based on a Tumblr prompt, which was basically: what if Lucy got ghost-touched while on a case with Lockwood, and after finding that they don't have any adrenaline injections with them, she asks Lockwood to kiss her?
    Purely to stave off the ghost-touch, of course.

    Summary

    “So, you’re taking Lucy and not me for the manpower?”

    “Er, partly.” Lockwood grimaces. “But mostly because the party is for married couples only and no offense George, but you’re not my type.”

    Lucy chokes on an unfortunately timed sip of tea.

    “I am offended, actually.” George says thoughtfully as he bites into his final slice of toast. “But I’ll get over it on my way to the archives to do some more research.”

     

    Or: Lucy and Lockwood go undercover as a fake couple despite their very real feelings.

    Summary

    Lucy stirs, mumbling something in her sleep, shifting so her head lolls the other way. There’s a strand of hair stuck to her cheek and he brushes it gently away, thumb smoothing over the imprint of the armchair’s material on her sleep-flushed skin.

    When he straightens up, George is staring at him impassively from the doorway.

    “What?” He whispers defensively.

    “Nothing.” George says as he makes his way to the stairs. “Just remembering this for next time I fall asleep down here and you shove me off the sofa.”

    Summary

    A shuffle of feet. Lockwood’s standing right behind her. She can feel the warmth of him shiver all along her back, the nape of her neck.

    She’s about to turn to face him when suddenly that warmth connects: Lockwood’s arms fold carefully around her, his body draping overtop of hers like he suddenly can’t stand. Lucy stiffens. His chin touches the side of her head, then his jaw, his mouth, as he curls in over her back, tucks his head down into her shoulder. Their cheeks press together. Something warm and heavy settles on the top of her head, and she realizes he’s pulled the blanket up over both of their heads like a shelter.

    Like a cape.

    “Sorry, Lucy,” he whispers in her ear. “Just bear it for a second. Please.”

    Summary

    Just a few months after the destruction of the bone mirror, the team of Lockwood & Co. has another big case to tackle:
    When Lucy gets a letter from her little sister, begging her to come back and help her with a haunting doomed to kill them, she doesn't need long to make a decision, and neither George nor Lockwood are going to let her face this alone.

    To not get any unwanted attention in her hometown, Lucy and Lockwood agree to take a closer look disguised as a couple while George is busy researching. But when the haunting turns out to run much deeper and wilder than any of them thought, and other players enter the game, one question arises: Will Lockwood & Co. also make it out of this case unscathed?

    “Oh, Lockwood.”

    Lucy threw up her hands. “You are not fine! Frankly, I’m insulted you thought that would work. Bed, now.”

    Summary

    “What are you—who are you?” I asked. Something like devastation crossed the woman’s pretty face; she suddenly seemed startlingly familiar. Then, a realization brought a smirk to the woman’s eyes.

    “Are you and Flo trying to pull the wool over my eyes again? Is this a bad prank? Because that’s enough, it’s not funny anymore—it’s not, Flo!” The woman leaned around me and called down the hall. I looked at her with wide eyes.

    “It’s not a—ma’am, are you alright?” I asked quietly. “Is there anyone I can call for you? Do you need a cab?”

    The woman’s already pale face turned white. Again, I couldn’t help but find her excruciatingly familiar. “A cab—Lucy, I live here!”

    Summary

    Policy 8 was established in the hope of encouraging the birth of increasingly powerful agents. All agents 18 and over must accept the marriages DEPRAC assigns them. Agents between the ages of 16-18 can volunteer to enter the programme or else be forced into it due to minor illegal behaviour.
    Lucy Carlyle volunteered. Anthony Lockwood was forced.
    In an effort to protect the two teenagers from being turned into pawns in the games of the rich and powerful, Barnes ensures Lucy and Lockwood are married. But just because they aren't stuck as pawns, doesn't mean the teenagers aren't forced into the same dangerous games.
