Lockwood’s suit collection: 🖤🖤🖤🖤

Lockwood’s sock collection: 🩷💚💙💜

(Also, headcanon that Lockwood’s colorful socks are really just Jessica’s and he can’t bring himself to get rid of them so he wears them instead.)

I have a headcanon that after Lockwood gives Lucy the necklace and they start dating, he continues to give her some family heirloom every anniversary. This continues until their first wedding anniversary where Lucy reminds him he's going to have to find a new schtick because now technically everything he owns also belongs to her. He is thoroughly frazzled.

"um, this is a really nice jar my parents brought back from Peru once. It's got a face on it that, if you kinda really squint, looks a bit like you..."

"H-hey... This was Jessica's Bauhaus poster... I thought you might like it..."

"This was mom's chocolate chip cookie recipe. I know you don't really cook much, but... Yeah"

Et cetera, et cetera...

*on a case*

Lockwood: mum didn’t raise a fucking bitch let’s keep going

George: no no no mum raised a bitch let’s stop

Lucy: mum didn’t raise anybody actually mum was absent

George: pfft

Lockwood: oh my god

Lockwood & Co Headcanons

Sharing a bed with them

George

- probably isn't a massive cuddler

- but will have one of his limbs flung over you to make sure you're still there

- he probably wakes up first most mornings, gazing at your blurry form until he remembers to put on his glasses

- there are always glasses of water next to the bed and you gotta be careful not to knock them over when getting in or out

- there's generally a couple of books at the end of the bed that George forgot to take back to the library

- before you fall asleep, he kisses the top of your head

- he definitely makes the bed every morning

Lucy

- one hundred percent a little spoon

- she likes to feel you wrapped around her, it helps her feel safe

- you probably end up breathing in her hair but it doesn't matter cos you're close to each other

- there's about a hundred teacups on the bedside table, most of them half full from drinking them before passing out

- she almost curls up like a cat, and when you don't spoon, you often end up with her on top of you, limbs splayed everywhere

- it's a tad warm but neither of you mind. you're close, you're safe, and you're relaxed

Lockwood

- big spoon. likes to know he's protecting you, even at night

- there's a thousand blankets on the bed, most of which get kicked off every night

- he still layers them on there though. just in case you get cold

- he doesn't sleep much but knowing that you're asleep in his arms help him to relax

- on the rare occasion that you wake up and he's fast asleep, you daren't move, not wanting to wake him

- he never makes the bed other than tossing the blankets back on it

GEORGE KARIM/CUBBINS APPRECTIATION POST

One of my personal head-canons is that George was most affected by Lucy leaving.

Lockwood was sad, risking his life because he'd lost his purpose. He didn't care about anyone else.

Holly was trying her best but wasn't as close to the boys as Lucy. She was an outsider.

George was now the one who was left to pick up the pieces. He was trying to make sure his best friend doesn't kill himself (also I think he kept tabs on Lucy and he found her address) , trying to keep the agency running smoothly because Lockwood would've been jumping head-first into cases (and now they also didn't have Lucy to easily find the source with her listening).

And the fight he had with Lucy in creeping shadow stuck with me, because he was the only one who called her out as he was only one who was fixing what she left broken

I wonder sometimes what the L&Co crew did after they aged out of having the sight. Obviously Lucy makes some mention of them helping DEPRAC clear the other side and you can help with that even w/o sight thanks to the Orpheus society, but I don’t imagine they did that forever or even full time.

I’ve actually thought a LOT about what I think they end up doing as adults so… here’s an extremely long post about it:

George’s path is obvious to me. He becomes a foremost voice on the nature of the problem, and he’s able to go to Oxford for university (or the most prestigious UK university still running) on this basis. He gets a degree in history and goes on to a PHD. He then dedicates several years to writing a complete, multi-volume, history of the problem/agencies/corruption/visitors (which will go down in history as THE TEXT about the problem)

… I’ll put the rest under the cut bc this is fr going to be lonnnng

We also know from the existence of Lockwood and Co the books that Lucy at some point metatextually writes a memoir detailing the antics of Lockwood and co. (Which, go off girlboss, she did a great job.) For Lucy’s career path, I imagine that she is a formal DEPRAC partner for a time goes to the other side more than any of her other L&Co colleagues to help out.

This may be a weird take, but I also think that Lucy’s relationship with the Skull and all the weird experiments on ghosts she witnesses lead her to go all GHOST RIGHTS. She campaigns for seeing ghosts differently and repsecting the dead and works to get DEPRAC to create better regulations for how sources are treated when contained and advocates for figuring out how to release them to the other side rather than destroying sources as a first move. Idk I think it suits her relationship to ghosts; she’s definitely more invested in their humanity than other agents.

I don’t think Lockwood would try to hire young agents as a supervisor to keep the agency going after losing his sight. Especially since he’s aware that the problem is fading and considering he��d still have work available through DEPRAC. I think Lockwood spends his first few post-sight years in lots of therapy and takes time off from working since he’s been running a very intense business since he was like 14. I also think he foots the bill for Flo to get a therapist as well.

They’re both able to work through their grief and trauma from the people they’ve lost, Lockwood works through his habit of repressing his feelings, and Flo works through her feelings of being cornered while in doors. Flo eventually moves into Portland Row, and she and George and Lucy and Lockwood spend most of their young adult lives (whole lives if you ask me) living in the same house or living right next door to each other.

As for Lockwood’s actual career path I think Lockwood’s would make it his life’s work to share his parents findings. He spreads the traditional burial practices and ways to ward off ghosts like that Lockwood’s parent’s researched to help people protect themselves from ghosts around the UK as the problem fades.

I don’t know that I see Flo having a real job. I could see her in advocacy for housing insecure youth (we know London has MANY due to the Problem) but I’d also like to see her have a relaxing-ass life. Enjoy therapy and her friends, date George, plant a vegetable garden. Flo’s never cared much about material goods so I could see her working odd jobs here and there to help contribute to Portland Row Expenses, but mostly focus on nonprofit work and political activism while enjoying her life.

I think both Kipps and Holly stay on at Lockwood and co until it permanently disbands, then I imagine they both work to advocate for the rights of former agents in some capacity. If Holly could further her eduction I think she’d work in the legal system, maybe working in administration/research on cases that are attempting to hold leaders of the Orpheus society and high up Fittes and Rottweil people accountable for compensating traumatized former agents. Oh and she asks out that girl from DEPRAC she was living with (and they were roommates oh my god they were roommates)

I think Kipps might (after he’s matured a bit) get involved with a young adult professional development program trying to address all of the former agents and nightwatch kids who forwent education at a young age to hunt ghosts and help them access free education and classes to gain new marketable skills as the ghost hunting industry declines and kids age out of the sight. He also stops beefing with teenagers (so much) and lives out his destiny as surrogate brother/20 year old adopted father to Lucy George and the rest. And he gets himself a husband bc he deserves it 😤

As for the Skull… I’m in the camp that he does return and he occasionally stops by Portland Row to chat with Lucy and pull poltergeists type pranks on the other residents. When Lucy can no longer hear him 🥲 I still think he sticks around for a while, making his presence known by moving objects and helping keep the house cool in the summer (yayyy ghost chill), he also still speaks to Lucy when she does work on the other side with DEPRAC. But eventually, maybe when Lucy’s in her late twenties, the skull feels ready to move on, and Lucy visits to the other side to say good by and help him pass on.

[justjudethoughts]

You know who I think we don't talk about enough? Robin. One of the few things I dislike about the books is how flippantly he is discussed — the way Lockwood sort of jokes about how he has "past on" in Lucy's interview, and how George and Lucy talk about how she is the best assistant they have ever had, because Robin "panicked and ran off the roof." The nonchalance seems too calloused, even for Lockwood and George, especially given what we learn later about Lockwood's goal to protect people. So here are some thoughts I have:

I think Robin was fairly young, inexperienced, and one of the only people they could even hire. I think George and Lockwood found him a bit annoying— they were far from great friends with him. But the company was young, and they needed a third person. Robin kinda looked at Lockwood as an older brother. Despite Robin's general inexperience and skittishess, he wanted the job. Lockwood told him, time and time again, that he didn't have to stay. Robin wanted to stay. Wanted to get braver. And Lockwood did everything he could to help make Robin a better agent. Always had his back, tried to keep him safe. Gave him fencing lessons. He never liked Robin. But he was there for him.

And then the accident happened. There was nothing Lockwood or George could have done. They had tried to correct his skittish behavior before. They had trained him. They had done everything except fire him. And it wasn't enough. The guilt would have been crushing if Lockwood and George hadn't made an unspoken vow with each other not to talk about it. To use buisness terms only. No discussion of Robin as a friend, as a younger brother. He was simply a tragically inexperienced agent who didn't take their advice. A little on the annoying side. Good kid, a bit of a pest.

Like everything else, Lockwood stores this away deep inside him. Another person who died after being around him.

When Danny Skinner shows up in the living room, Lockwood's blood freezes. His air, his build — it's all Robin.

So i was just thinking about my earlier lockwood post joking that his favorite hobby is asking Lucy if she's okay, and the amazing @ikeasupremacy commented that he does it because Lucy doesn't tell people when she's not okay. and I realized ...

Lockwood doesn't either. He does his absolute best to never show fear or doubt. He tries to never let on that his mental health is actually horrible.

he tries to do the things that no one ever did for him. he reassures Lucy constantly -- I have a plan, I'll take care of it, you're not alone, you're safe, we're right here -- saying all the words he longed to hear for years and years. He protects and cares for her the way no one did for him, the way he barely can for himself. He's filling the gap in his own heart. he never wants Lucy to have to feel like he did. he knows what it's like to feel horribly, desperately alone, and he's going to do his best to make sure she never does. he's going to fight for her, even though he had no one to protect him or defend him.

for years he felt as though there was no one to care if he did disappear one night. there was no one to offer a trade, no one to willingly undergo pain for his survival. he never felt like he mattered that much.

and every are you okay? is a you matter to me. I care.

and now I'm crying. great.

[gallowayisacow]

Headcanon of after TEG and L&Co has become famous.

Lockwood will walk through the park and children will be dressed up like him and pretend sword-fighting with each other and saying, "No, no, I want to play Lockwood this time!" And Lockwood is just chuffed about it, and Lucy shakes her head until the day when a little girl runs up to her with a bob cut and little black boots with blue laces and she's like,

"Ms. Lucy, you're my idol!!"

[eudociacovert]

Headcanon: every time Lockwood squeezes through a legal loophole there's an angry call from a Very Important Person to a lawyer, and then a mad scramble to figure out if he actually obeyed the law or not. So now there's a gaggle of paralegals from Problem focused law firms that follow Lockwood and Co's exploits in the papers so they can feel forewarned/know when to call in sick to work

OMG Lockwood came in and started his intro wishing to give Lucy the necklace...!! And she actually cut him off cause she thought he was there about the stupid document signatures 😅

I only noticed now, but i am 100% sure it was like that.
