Idk I just thought it worked for Locklyle
Lockwood and Co heard that a shit ton of relic men were coming for them and their response was to recreate Home Alone in Portland Row.
One of my favorite underrated Locklyle moments
Locklyle Fic Idea
Sometime after TEG when they've confessed their feelings for each other and have been dating for maybe a few months. Lucy has a nightmare about the Fetch, she has these from time to time but this one if different because it just feels so real. She wakes up and she's totally panicking and she needs to see Lockwood to make sure he's alive and well, so she goes down to his room. But Lockwood isn't there, he's in the library reading something, but Lucy doesn't know that. So she goes to his room and finds it empty and she absolutely loses it. She just breaks down sobbing on the floor of his room. Lockwood hears something and goes to make sure everything is ok, and he finds Lucy curled up with one of his sweaters, crying and whispering something about how he died for her. Obviously, he's super worried, but he's not quite sure what happened, so he goes and hugs her and tells her everything is ok. As soon as she hears his voice she starts crying even harder because he’s there and he’s alive and he’s holding her. He still has no idea what happened but he holds her and he lets her cry and he tries to comfort her. When she calms down a little, he takes her downstairs and makes her some tea. She tells him about her nightmare and he holds her again and tells her that he’s alive and they’re ok and that everything is going to be fine. Eventually she calms down, but she’s still a little on edge and she doesn’t want to leave him, so they sleep on the couch together.
George finds them the next morning and sends a picture to Holly and Kipps.
please Netflix renew Lockwood & Co so we can get to THIS part of The Empty Grave
“Lockwood’s got plenty to live for.”
“Has he? Give it a name.”
(Lucy staring into her own reflection)
"I think you keep me safe, if anything."
Everyone always talks about Lockwood's later confession of 'whatever time I have, I want to spend it with you'; no one talks about how this reckless, reckless child turns to the girl who thinks she's protecting him by staying away and tells her the opposite.
Lucy, who notes in TEG that his place is always between them and the darkness, keeps him safer because he remembers he actually has a reason to live.
This is incoherent ravings at best, I'm aware, but do you get it? Do you really get it????
Lucy: I can’t believe Kipps is dead.
Kipps: I’m not dead!
Lucy: Sometimes I can still hear his voice.
Hey (with the intention of NOT stealing your man! He’s not even my type. There is more than just George and Lockwood you know.)
What I think they could do in the tv series if they ever decide to un-cancel it (the scene is George going back to Portland Row after getting the book they were looking for in The Empty Grave. I replaced the part where the driver finds him.)—>
He’s walking home. It’s dark and ominous. Does he know he’s being followed? Maybe. Probably. It focuses on George then pans to the men following him. The one in the lead having a gleaming golden blade. They begin to approach with more of a purpose and catch up with him. George is surrounded. He doesn’t have a chance to put up much of a fight.
The fight itself you don’t see much of. Just a solid punch to the face. And a few bone-crunching kicks to his already crumpled body.
The noise is slightly muffled and the vision is going black. You hear hurried receding footsteps and a vague hope for a siren you’re not 100% sure is there.
Cut scene. The next time you see George he looks pale. Ghostly. Corpse-like. He looks dead. The hurried footsteps are back. This time coming towards him rather than running away. The sound is still muffled, but someone calls out. They sound worried. Fearful.
“George! GEORGE!” It’s Holly. The vision and sound become clear again as Holly kneels beside her hopefully not-dead friend. She’s a mess. “George. Oh, God. George. Please be okay. Please be okay. George. Please. Answer me!” Her sobs make her harder to understand. “HELP! SOMEBODY! PLEASE! HELP!”
Her cries for help turn into just plain crying. Sobbing. Her hands shake as she fumbles to check his pulse. She’s unsure if she can’t find it because she’s nervous or because he’s dead. She’s barely aware of being pushed aside when the EMT arrives. They move him onto a stretcher and load him into the back of an ambulance. She tries to follow. Someone stops her. She fights them, but she doesn’t have the strength. “Please! Let me go. Let me go with him! He’s my friend! He’s my friend!” How many times can she repeat herself? Why don’t they get it? But they’re already driving away.
Holly would have collapsed back onto the street, but someone’s holding her up.
“Holly.” The voice was familiar. “Holly. Let me take you home. You need to tell the others. They need to know. Please.”
The cold rain started to bring her back to her senses. That and the voice. Who she now knew was Kipps. How long had it been raining? When did Kipps get here?
It must have been raining when she left Portland Row. She vaguely remembers that now.
Holly looks up at Kipps. She recognizes him. Of course she does. But her mind is struggling to be present. It’s still somewhere with George on the ambulance ride.
He says her name again. This helps. She nods and allows herself to be lead back to 35 Portland Row.
Lockwood: research only goes so far, there's no substitute for actually exploring!
Lockwood: *proceeds to literally explore the Other Side*
TSS Lucy: I can't stand George. I would like to hit him in the head with a shovel.
TEG Lucy: I will now commit Murder because they beat up my bestie, George
I’ve just finished reading The Empty Grave and now I don’t know what to do with myself, I’m not ready to say goodbye to 35 Portland Row
