Remember, readers, never settle for someone willing to die for you. You deserve a man who is willing to live for you. 

So if he says, "I'd die for you, Luce." - don't swoon. Wait until he decides that he wants to stay alive so that he can stay by her side. Because that - choosing to struggle every day, to fight for a chance at happiness together? That's what love actually is.

Lucy is my favorite female character ever. I relate so much to the way she reacts that it took me a long time to see her through different perspectives. Especially in the Hollow Boy and the Creeping Shadow.

Like yes Lucy you should be worried about Lockwood and yeah you aren’t crazy for leaving the chains and going to talk to the ghost to test your talent. Lockwood must have been losing sleep over her behavior. Lockwood thought removing their friendship would keep her safe and Lucy thought that removing her self would keep him safe.

I thought this was Lockwood and Lucy 🤣

Part 6 of why I would love his POV:

We would get to see his detective mastermind. He figured out that Fairfax was the murder and in the Empty Grave he also figured out that the stage designer (I forgot her name) was the one who hid the source. Lucy mentioned that he went to speak with her (the stage manager) and got her to confess in half an hour. What did he say during that conversation?

[bluetulip23]

Part 5 of why I would LOVE Lockwood’s POV:

In the creeping shadow when he first goes to see Lucy, Lockwood mentions that he has heard from other agents that Lucy has been doing well.

It’s safe to assume that Lockwood was keeping track of who Lucy was working with and then questioning them about how it went and if Lucy was okay. Which Lucy did something similar, she would read all the articles about Lockwood & Co and seemed to look for any mention of them on the newspaper.

But I think that Lockwood’s took more effort and devotion. Can you imagine Lockwood just stopping different teams at the furnaces “so I heard that you got the privilege of working with Ms. Carlyle last week”

If other agents didn’t pick up on the fact that Lockwood liked Lucy before they would have known after that.

The creeping shadow on the other side! One of my favorite moments! (and I'm testing brushes lol)

[bluetulip23]

Haha “say if I am too close”

You know she was not about to complain 🤣🤣🤣

The door on the landing

Maybe Lockwood wanted George to open the door.

I know, I know, it sounds crazy, but think about it. He hired George when Fittes had just booted him for 1) breaking rules 2) asking too many questions 3) visiting places he wasn’t allowed to.

And what did Lockwood tell George? “We have one rule: don’t go in that room and don’t ask why.” He was practically daring him.

Lockwood sees his parents in George: the curiosity, the academia, the desire to uncover the source of the problem. And when he hires him, he dares George to enter that sacred space.

It’s made fairly clear that, for Lockwood, letting people in that room is letting them into his life. And some part of him wanted to invite George in, but he couldn’t. So he said, “Here are these rules” to a known rule-breaker and waited.

Imagine his surprise when, instead of breaking his trust, George held fast. It assured Lockwood’s trust in George, but I imagine some part of him was a bit disappointed.

[bluetulip23]

This!!! Omg you are so right!!! George was so interested in what Fitts had but he never opened the door or broke Lockwood’s trust. But what about the information from the archives? Like do we think he went to live with a complete stranger ( lol like Lucy) without looking him up first?

Also Kipps seemed to know a bit of Lockwood’s past so did Kipps talk about it?

[bluetulip23]

Part 4 of why we should get Lockwood’s pov:

We miss pretty much all interactions the other characters have with Lockwood when Lucy is not there.

I was rereading the second book and there are two instances in which Lockwood is upset with George and looses his temper. When they make up, Lucy is not there and we don’t get to know how he apologized to George.

Or when Lockwood convinces George to carry the skull to the empty house so they can use it (without Lucy’s permission). One of the reasons why I love the show is because it gave us a glimpse of those interactions.

Lucy and Skull 🙂‍↕️

Besties

[gayofficechair]

to locklyle fanfic writers who write Lockwood as being an avid user of terms of endearment like 'love' or 'dear' or 'darling', 'sweetheart':

I want to confess my undying love for you.

[bluetulip23]

Same! 💙💙💙

Lockwood & Co is such an amazing series, it makes me want more books.

- Like them fighting a ghost cult. We got a lot of information about them in the 2nd book and I thought that they were going to be part of the other books…but they weren’t. Just imagine the problem is decreasing since the gates are being closed. The cults would be upset since they believe that the connections between the 2 worlds should be protected. They begin searching for another Marissa, agents begin to disappear. Barnes meets with the agency heads to warn them and come up with a solution. And then Lucy goes missing…. Or something

I am just saying, this world still has so many untapped opportunities.

[bluetulip23]

Part 3 of why I would LOVE Lockwood’s POV:

In the show we got an amazing moment when Lucy tells Lockwood that Kipps had offered her a job.

Cameron did such a wonderful job showing how worried Lockwood was for those whole 3 seconds while Lucy reassured him that she wasn’t going anywhere.

In the books we don’t get any reaction from Lockwood when he finds out. He just gets quiet and they make their way to the job. That’s it!!!! since we don’t get his pov we don’t know why he doesn’t ask her why she had not said anything or how he felt about it.

[bluetulip23]

Help:

I read a fic about heartbroken Lockwood standing outside Lucy’s flat during their break up and I can’t find it. If anyone remembers it and saved it please let me know.

When I read it I didn’t connect it to 2 actual canon events which make me think that book Lockwood would have done that.

In fifth book, when the carnival guy is speaking to them about how the guy who was killed by the ghost had been heartbroken because the trapeze artist had rejected him. He mentions that the guy had even waited outside the trapeze’s room. And that just made me think of this fic and how when Lockwood goes to see Lucy to offer her the job. He stands by her window and looks out.

Did he do the same? Was he looking out the window to look at where he used to stand? Am, over reaching?

Maybe, I have read the books sooo many times.

[bluetulip23]

I really wish we would have gotten more of their “normal cases”. What their team dynamics were like, how they interacted with other agents. 😂 Lockwood being bothered by Herald laughing too loudly (something tells me it was when Lucy was there)

ugh I just really would love that like some short stories of them in between books.

[bluetulip23]

Idea:

George loves experiments right? Okay, so wouldn’t he be interested into finding out why Lucy is able to communicate with type 3s?

Yes, yes he would be. Can you imagine is he wanted her to take the skull when she went to visit her sisters (just in case one of them also had the same talent).

Or… since the problem is not totally finished. He believes that their best hope is to continue to have a strong listener. And he has a whole book fill of possible powerful talented suitors for Lucy. Lockwood finds it and throws it away and tells George to never bring it up again (because you know it’s unprofessional and no other reason).

If there a fanfic similar to this please let me know 💙

Part 2 of why I really would love Lockwood’s pov.

* How and why did he start liking Kipps so much to even ask him to be part of the agency.

~ I know he began to like him a bit more after book 2 and he felt bad for him after Ned passed.

But, when Barnes rejects George’s idea about the store. And Kipps offers to help, Lockwood doesn’t trust him and rejects him. Lucy has to be the one to stand up and call Kipps back.

I think, something happened when they teamed up at the store. Kipps has a couple of years of experience as a leader and he has the courage to call Lockwood’s bad behavior. Did he call him out for the way he was treating Lucy?

What happened?….. Whatever he did or said to Lockwood it made Lockwood really like him. Not just tolerate, but appreciate his honesty and insight (even when he was blind to the supernatural)

WAS IT CASUAL ?

Was it casual when I was starving the first time we met, because I hadn't eaten in days, and you made sure I'd never go hungry again ?

Was it casual when we argued and you came back right after to dress my scars ?

Was it casual when you gave me your beloved dead sister's necklace ?

Was it casual when you said the bottom of the Thames used to be a far more appealling place to be before you met me ?

Was it casual when you tried to convince the villain to kill you if it meant he'd spare me ?

Was it casual when I was about to be killed by a ghost and you jumped in front of me to save me, getting knocked out and nearly getting yourself killed ?

Was it casual when you said “Come off it, you know I'd die for you” ?

Was it casual when I left for four months and you told me you were desperately looking for a way to get me back to you ?

Was it casual when I came home to you, wounded and bleeding, and you said, "What the hell is this ? Who did this to you ?"

Was it casual when the ground collapsed beneath my feet, dropping me into catacombs and you jumped in to save me, without even thinking twice about it ?

Was it casual when we went into the world of the dead together and you held me tight the whole time to keep me safe ?

Was it casual when you took me to the graves of your sister and your parents, knowing full well that you'd never done it with anyone else ?

Was it casual when you nearly got yourself killed because you got tricked by a dangerous ghost (who specifically preyed on men desperately in love), because he'd taken on my appearance ?

Was it casual when you gave me the necklace your late father had made for your late mother, while telling me it was a symbol of the undying devotion he had for her ?

[bluetulip23]

They were the perfect actors to portray Lucy and Lockwood 💙
