For @loweqxpectations , Who Asked If I Associated Any TSC Characters And Ships With TTPD Songs Keep In

For @loweqxpectations , who asked if I associated any TSC characters and ships with TTPD songs ❤️ keep in mind that the associations are at different parts of their canon, not necessarily at their HEAs! So the Herondaisy Angst is set during the Bracelet Era, etc...

One of my favorite underrated Locklyle moments

Lucy, to Lockwood: If we die, I'm going to get George's ghost to teach my ghost how to play the flute just so that I can annoy the hell out of your ghost.

Lockwood: I'll just hire Kipps' ghost to kick your ghost's ass.

Kipps: My ghost won't associate with your ghost.

I just remembered that Balekin was the one who told Madoc where Jude and Taryn's mom was after she ran away from Elfhame. So Balekin's the reason Madoc took Jude, Vivi and Taryn back to Elfhame with him which indirectly caused Jude to kill Balekin all those years later. He would've still been alive if he weren't such a snitch lmao what a loser.

oh my gosh i just had an idea.

new headcanon that at some point Lockwood gives Lucy a very subtle, simple but beautiful circlet/headband made from pure, braided silver, for her to wear during cases when her Listening becomes too overwhelming/causes her pain. something like these:

in my mind the one he gives her is very thin but sturdy, since he knows she's not one for flashy finery.

he sees her getting headaches after tough cases, her exhaustion after extensive Listening, and how much trouble she has admitting that she's in pain, and he longs for a way to protect her.

and after flipping through one of his gossip mags one night and seeing a woman wearing a shining circlet around her head, he gets an idea.

he goes to a jewelry shop the next afternoon, under the pretense of running a few errands. he finds the perfect piece: a simple braided silver circlet, thin and elegant and beautiful but not gaudy. he tries to ignore how his heart pounds as he walks home with it concealed in his coat pocket, trying to think of how to give it to her.

he doesn't pluck up the courage until nearly a week later, when he and Lucy are on a case. dealing with two nasty, shrieking Phantasms in a very haunted house.

Lucy can barely swing her rapier, she's in so much pain. she's trying so hard to push through it, to ward off the vicious spirit in front of her. she needs help and she wants to call out for Lockwood, but he's cornered by his own Phantasm. at least, she thinks he is. she can barely comprehend her surroundings as her mind is battered on every side by the shrieking and wailing.

her vision's going blurry as she tries to block out the horrible psychic assault. she's vaguely aware of a flash of light in the direction where she last saw Lockwood. there are tears falling from her eyes as she struggles to stay standing. the Phantasm reaches for her with cold, mangled hands.

suddenly, Lockwood is there.

the spirit is driven back by his blade and retreats, still screaming.

Lockwood's hands are gently cupping Lucy's ears, brushing her hair back as he settles something around her head. his eyes are finding hers. he's saying her name, telling her something.

and the noise suddenly dulls.

not the sound of his voice. she can hear that clearly now as it brings her back. but the horrifying, painful voices that taunt and curse her from beyond the grave have faded into the background. the pain has stopped. Lucy stares at Lockwood in surprise as his hands fall from her face, brushing away her tears on their way down.

"An idea I had a little while ago. I thought it might help. I'm sorry I didn't give it to you sooner."

-

the little silver circlet doesn't nullify her Talent completely. in fact, it seems to clarify it, to drive out the overwhelming psychic clutter and allow her to Listen more fully without fear of pain.

she soon wears it almost constantly, and not only for the protection it offers her.

the hate julian receives is so strange, he’s a good parent for his siblings, he protects the ones he loves without hesitation, he’s a artist and people just hate him bc of this things
