Idk I just thought it worked for Locklyle

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.

I am not okay, I feel the impending doom

Just finished reading the hollow boy 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

I'm a Lucy Carlyle defender to my grave but I do feel so much for poor Holly and her having to deal with feeling unwelcome and intimidated by Lucy, who is clearly (to everyone but Lucy herself) looked up to and adored within Portland Row. Holly had no way of knowing that Lucy's coldness towards her ran so much deeper than petty jealousy over Lockwood; that it was due to Lucy Carlyle (voted Miss Abandonment Issues 2023) feeling completely undermined, unconsidered, left behind, and replaced.

Forever in mourning that I’ll never have my “come off it, you know I’d die for you” moment

hey Lockwood fans is it just me or does this scream LOCKLYLE

THOSE LAST TWO LINES !! BOOK FANS LOOK AT THAT! BYEEE IM PASSING AWAY

In season 2, I hope we get the scene with Lucy and Lockwood arguing in his room following the Bloody Footprints case and they have them circle back to Lockwood’s ‘you’re more of a liability’ speech from S1 but this time he says ‘I once called you a liability but now I’m actually starting to believe it’.

Cue Lucy broken-hearted face and sad guitar soundtrack

(and before anyone tries to tell me the bad news 🤫 yes I know; I’m manifesting)

Lockwood and co. The hollow boy was surely a book! The pms was hitting them hard (all of them)

Lockwood would die to protect Lucy, but she would never see him again if it meant that nothing would happen to him

Well gut my heart why don’t you?

Lockwood would die to protect Lucy, but she would never see him again if it meant that nothing would happen to him

Tousled bed head thing is attractive, according to Lockwood. And Lucy didn't think it was elaborately done every morning and she finds it attractive too xD

Also this is the classic Skull interactions, he spews some sarcastic stuff but ultimately he is right when you filter the malice 😁

”You won’t stick around too long,sweetheart. Not when you find out what he’s really like.”

— Quill Kipps

Lucy: proceeds to not stick around because she did in fact find out what he’s really like (reckless with a death wish bound to get himself killed, especially if it means protecting her).

Pg 49 of Hollow Boy and she’s just describing him sitting there.

Not gonna lie I too would be pissed if I come home and the new assistant is wearing my crush's sweater and says "still smells of him, though" 😭
