The Great Feelings Debacle (Or, Lockwood Isn't As Well-Adjusted As He Seems)

by akaneboshi on ao3 || Final Word Count: ~4.6k

Rating: G | Category: F/M | Relationship: Lockwood/Lucy

Anthony Lockwood is generally composed, efficient, and dignified - or, well, he tries to be. But not even he can escape the clutches of the mythical 'feelings' that people talk about, and now that he's in their soggy grip, he really rather wishes he wasn't.

that amount of glory does sound reasonably glorious

Rating: T | Category: Multi | Relationship: Lockwood/Lucy/George

When Lockwood met George, he wanted to be the youngest Agency head to ever exist; when he met Lucy, he wanted to be the head of the most famous independent agency. When they fell into a rhythm together, each passing day made Lockwood want to be worthy of Lucy’s shadow and George’s light.

Lockwood has wanted a lot of things over the course of his life, but nothing more than George and Lucy.

Faded Names And Floral Fragrances

by AlmostLikeQuake on ao3

Rating: G | Category: Gen | Relationship: N/A | Warning(s): MCD

A character study about the graves of Lockwood's family, Lockwood himself, Lucy and George.

(It's tagged Major Character Death because this is written from the perspective of the far future of after the trio have died as adults and as the trio are major characters, this tag is used. Also not too much detail is given about Lockwood's family in this so non-book readers can read this and probably be fine.)
