Summary
Mercy had been there earlier, empty porcelain teacups and a candy wrapper all that’s left of their study session. The moment she’d left, Darlington had slid from his unobtrusive position at the far corner desk right to the floor, into the largest square of unbroken sunlight. He’s still there, and looks like he’s sleeping: belly-up and arm behind his head, one long finger caught near the end of a book of 19th century poetry stolen from Alex’s workpile.

Summary
He presses his mouth against her knuckles, willing them to move. They’re so cold. “Please.” His lips brush her nails, silently begging her to rake them across his skin and prove she’s still alive. To let him apologize. “Luce,” he whispers. “Please.”
-AND-
Lockwood’s hands come off the railing as he steps toward Lucy. “Why won’t you let me help? You don’t have to do everything by yourself!”
Lucy’s chest explodes. “And you don’t have to throw yourself on your rapier for everyone else!” Her lungs heave. Her ribs ache with every harsh breath she takes. She fists Lockwood’s wrinkly white shirt in her left hand, pulling him close.
-OR-
What if Lucy's return to Portland Row was more dramatic? Her injury a little more dire, her pride a bit more wounded, her recovery a smidge more introspective? In these chapters, Lucy arrives at Portland Row, gets bandaged up by the boys, argues with Lockwood about why she left the agency in the first place, and realizes that going it alone might be her fatal flaw. Now she just needs Lockwood to realize his.

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
The Skull continued to moan and mope every time Lucy saw Tommy. “He’s a loser, Lucy. It is outrageous that you prefer his inane presence to mine. At least that idiot Lockwood was occasionally interesting.”
“Since you’re a malevolent skull in a jar, I’m sure you’ll understand if I ignore your relationship advice,” Lucy replied icily.
-----
Shortly after Lucy begins working as a freelance agent, she meets Tommy. He's attractive, nice, and fun. Most importantly, he's a distraction from her loneliness and constant longing for Lockwood. It goes well, until it doesn't. And then Lockwood shows up at her door and everything changes. Set between The Hollow Boy and through the beginning of The Creeping Shadow.

It is a widely known fact that Anthony Lockwood was a damn good seer. A truth that is awfully ironic since Anthony Lockwood was also incredibly blind.

Summary
"We’re not going to ever find a solution that fits both of us. We’re going to keep bull-headedly doing whatever it takes to keep each other alive, regardless of the cost.” Lucy’s snuggling into him again; Lockwood can hear the weariness in her voice. “And that means more nights like this, whether we like it or not.”
“I see the problem,” Lockwood murmurs, adjusting his hold on her so that he can run one hand through her hair.
“So what do we do about it?”
“We could get married.”
Suddenly the air around them is thick and still, and Lucy is rigid in his arms. There’s a moment of stillness, and then she is pushing away from him, her eyes seeking his with an intensity that makes the space between them crackle with energy.
“What?”

Summary
George couldn’t waste the occasion of firing one last bullet. He just couldn’t.
“You borrowed his towel too? Why did you have to do that?”
“Because I forgot mine upstairs too and frankly I wasn’t in the mood of walking around the house fully naked and soaking wet and frankly freezing!” Lucy replied, caustically, a fierce face and just a small flush around her neck.
Lockwood, on the other hand, seemed to have run out of batteries. He just froze, stuck in the motion of grabbing a glass of water – or a knife to harm himself and escape that situation, George couldn’t tell – and his eyes fixated on a really not so interesting wrinkle over the Thinking Cloth.
Silence filled the kitchen, only interrupted by Lockwood’s loud swallowing.
“Congratulations, Lucy, you did it, you broke him!” George cheered, incredibly serious....

Maybe, one day, they will be ready to talk about their feelings as well.

Summary
Lockwood and Lucy have never been good at expressing their emotions. In fact, Lucy's convinced she doesn't have them. Everyone else knows otherwise.
During one particularly strange case, feelings are confessed, and general teenage hormones get in the way. However, that case was too strange to ignore, so Lockwood and Co steps in to do what they do best: get involved with things they shouldn't even know about.

Summary
Lucy couldn’t breathe, but she felt her heart pounding an increasing staccato and she knew that if someone were to turn on the light, her face would be bright red. But she couldn’t worry about anything like that, because in that moment, Lucy Carlyle saw Anthony Lockwood’s eyes flit from her eyes down to her mouth, then up and back down again.
She was overwhelmed but in the best way possible. Lockwood’s chest was strong under her touch. His arms were around her waist. His eyes rested on her lips. And there were the telltale signs of someone running in the hallway.
“Please don’t hate me, Luce.” He pleaded, almost like a repentant prayer.
And then the door was opening and Anthony Lockwood was kissing her.
