My friends and I decided to organize this event quite suddenly about two weeks ago, and I’ve finally finished designing the poster. Yes, there will be a tiny Valentine’s Day event for them 💀🦋

Date: 14/02/2026

Ship: Lucy Carlyle / Skull in the Jar (Skullyle)

Fandom: Lockwood & Co. (Book Series by Jonathan Stroud)

Tags: #skullyle #💀🦋

Platforms: Tumblr / Lofter / AO3 More update: @salome-atypical

Notes:

“12H” means 12 hours — there will be at least 12 fanworks released during the event, posted hourly. The collection mainly includes fanart and fanfiction prepared by our participants. Finished this wonderful series last year and was lucky enough to meet many amazing new friends through it. I hope we can continue to create together in the new year. Stay tuned!

TEG epilogue Lucy who won't let go of literal human remains for a second and will place it near her on kitchen table despite everyone's appal because she misses the bastard so much but won't voice it you're so special to me

[id: an ink drawing of Lucy Carlyle (Lockwood & Co books) lying on her back with the Skull next to her head, free of the jar, it is burnt and has cracks and missing pieces. Lucy's turned face is half obscured by Skull's dome, her expression is intense and tired. she has bags underneath her eyes, her hands clutching on one another on top of her. background behind Lucy is washed in black./end id]

[vryfmi]

[id from alt text: four digital sketches of Lucy Carlyle and the skull (Lockwood and Co books).

Lucy is sitting with her arms crossed and resting on top of skull's ghost-jar that sits on her lap, she looks to the up right corner.

Lucy's sitting in the armchair, legs brought up, providing support for the book she's reading. skull sits on the floor in front, leaning back on the armchair and looking up at her, he wears modern clothes. Lucy looks back at him smiling.

skull and Lucy sit back to back on the sofa, Lucy sits with her legs brought up and skull leans back on her with hands over his head.

lineless headshots of human skull and Lucy next to each other./end id]

low effort skullyle sketches with colour palettes generated on farbecolore.com from when i was trying to get myself out of artblock

[id from alt text: two screenshots of colour palettes, submitted text reads "skullyle" and "skull x lucy", respectively. first one consists of mainly greys, muted greens and a few other tones. the second one of of greys, muted green, orange and dark pink colours and a few lighter tones. bottom text reads: "color image from farbecolore.com"./end id]

and palettes themselves, i like the second one the most

january-february skullyle drawing dump with colour palette that i randomly landed on and liked a little too much. third picture with skull shoved back in the jar has it's own post [here] go my skullyle

[id: 4 digital drawings of Lucy and Skull (Lockwood & Co books). in all drawings Skull is depicted as human. all drawings made in muted dark colours against grey background.

1. a close-up on Lucy's and Skull's faces as they're lying next to each other and talking animatedly. both have visible strands of grey hair. bottom text reads: *Talking shit about everyone they know* 2. Skull lies supine, head resting on a pillow, looking up with a smile at Lucy who's sitting on top of him. both are dressed in their regular clothes. Lucy frowns and points her finger at Skull, her others arm perched on his knee, she looks ready to get up. Skull's hand is playfully placed on Lucy's thigh. 3. Lucy and Skull leaning forward and pressing their foreheads together and looking at each other. Lucy's expression is neutral, Skull is slightly smiling. 4. Lucy's and Skull's POVs form previous drawing. it's extreme close-ups on their faces which are ballooned at the top because of the angle, eyes huge and looking./end id]

@solo-walker Pls my dear friend, this should not be just in the tags… ((I’m gonna cry 😢❤️‍🩹✨

#THE ANATOMICALLY ACCURATE HEART HELLO??? #there's so much i love about this. the silhouettes the bg texture the "glow" the CONCEPT. Hold on hold on I gotta analyse this- #oh my god the way skull's lack of a nose helps form the three branches of the aorta #the way the outline of the pulmonary vein (carrying oxygenated blood) is clear on lucy's side because it carries the very evidence #of life and breath while the pulmonary vein outline on skull's side is broken and shattered by his ribs and lack of a jaw making it #effectively empty of lifeblood and oxygen #OH ALSO ALSO skull is placed on the left aka the side of the right auricle and ventricle (chambers of the heart having deoxygenated blood) #while Lucy is placed on the right aka the left auricle and ventricle (chambers of the heart having oxygenated blood)

Totally AMAZING addition and analysis… honestly, I didn’t consciously plan all of this symbolism ( I know nothing about anatomy)… but knowing you could read so much into it truly means more than you know. Your breakdown was so detailed and thoughtful — thank you so much for looking at it this closely. ((GOT FULLY EMOTIONAL OVER THESE TWO ALL OVER AGAIN…

This is my final work for the Skullyle 12H Valentine's Day Ship Project. My friend will be posting the fiction works in the next few hours. But the posting timing will be delayed due to the different time zones. Anyway, we hope you enjoyed the fanarts and the stories. Happy Valentine's Day~

Honest reaction -“The subconscious is where things are etched most deeply.”

-[‘The Last Dance’ || Skullyle·12H/18:00]-

“For the last time: Who did you tell about my skull?”

And yet, despite disliking it so much, I’d come to rely on that ghost.

Like it or not, the whispering skull helped define me. It was part of who I was.

-《The Creeping Shadow》

A great misery rose up in me, a welling loneliness that caught me by surprise.

‘No. I’m sorry for abandoning you,’ I said. ‘I shouldn’t have left you at Portland Row.’
