    Summary

    Contrary to popular opinion, Lucy realises she’s in love with both boys on the same day.

    She feels the tug in her gut, a pleasant twist as Lockwood bandages her sliced arm, cradling her hand with delicate fingers as he murmurs soft apologies.

    Then she feels it again, less than an hour later, when George triumphantly takes Bobby Vernon – and by extension, the rest of Kipps’ team – down several pegs.

    Oh, she thinks, looking from Lockwood’s wolfish grin to George’s proud beam. Oh dear.

     

    or; Lucy is observant, Lockwood is over-protective and George gets snogged in the Archive stacks.

    Summary

    Lockwood glances up from his magazine, eyes crinkling into that helpless little smile she knows is just for her and George—just for the warmth of 35 Portland Row. “Yes, Luce?” he asks.

    Lucy stretches her legs out, lets her head loll so she can meet his gaze upside down. She hadn’t planned quite this far ahead, but she’s a good enough improviser, isn’t she? What she lands on is, “Would you still love me if I were a worm?”

    Summary

    ℋℯ𝓁𝓁ℴ, 𝓂𝓎 𝓃𝒶𝓂ℯ 𝒾𝓈 𝒯ℴ𝓂 ℳ𝒶𝓇𝓋ℴ𝓁ℴ ℛ𝒾𝒹𝒹𝓁ℯ.

    Leather-bound, bent spine, wet, black ink on crisp, yellowed paper- that was your introduction to Tom M. Riddle- a literal demon wearing the skins of a harmless little notebook. Perfectly safe, you’d assured yourself. Sentient diary, nothing out of the ordinary. Only to discover that everything you’d previously assumed was wrong because to put it simply, for a diary, Tom was much too sly for his own good.

    OR: You find a diary, the dairy’s name is Tom and Tom is much too spiteful for a little book with frayed edges. What about the red paint splattered over your robes? The constant headaches? The… dead chickens? Tom assures you that it’s nothing to worry about at all.

    Summary

    He ignores the pang that inevitably comes when leaving someone you love. It makes Rico ache all over. Like when skims too low on the tarmac, crashlanding on the light of a lightpole. Dizzy and sick and hurting.

    or

    Rico is leaving. Mario doesn't want him to leave.

    Summary

    Hanahaki doesn’t create a lot of ghosts. They’re relatively rare, and when they do manifest, they tend to be fairly placid. Technically, they have their own subcategory of Type One, but Lockwood’s never personally seen one on the job.

    Hanahaki death glows, though. He’s seen more of those than he can count.

    They’ve usually got the shadowed remains of plant matter spread out around them, so the death glows are distinctive. Once, he could see every petal of a wide rose bloom, glowing in neon green right next to the fellow’s fingers. Body long gone, flowers long dead, but the glow was still pressed into the pavement. Lockwood avoids them, as best as he can. Whenever he sees one, it just makes him grimly thankful that neither Lucy or George have as much strength in Sight as he does. That they won’t be able to see his death glow this brightly when his time comes.

    It’s bad enough he’ll have to leave them due to something as drawn out as Hanahaki tends to be. Death by heartbreak, and all. Dreadfully boring.
