just finished rereading lockwood and co for the third time and I just. I love these books so much. even after two times, I still find new details about the characters. I love jonathan strouds's writing, his characters are so alive and it's like they ARE real and are telling their story through his pen. I could never find a book so heartwarming, interesting, investing and with such great world building.

Lockwood and co social media au like this:

It all starts when Holly starts a cooking channel for her healthy foods and how to make them and shit

But then in the first video George and Lucy don’t know she’s filming and are stuffing their faces with chocolate cake or something in the background

Holly doesn’t notice and posts the vid and all the comments are like “where’s that cake from?” “The cake looks so good” “did you bake the cake too?”

And she’s really confused until she sees the video again

So now it’s like a running gag where Holly will be filming and George and Lucy will be eating some kind of like unhealthy shit or junk food in the background

One of the times Lockwood always walks in with this huge ass mug full of tea and the people find it hilarious

Also I don’t really have a scenario for this but I imagine one day Lucy is on the other side of the room and Lockwoods on the camera and he like winks at her and grins (but no one can see her behind the camera) and the viewers lose their shit because holy hell that was hot

He now has fangirls (and boys) and people always stop him on the street and some even try to flirt (Lucy gives them death glares and they immediately stop)

Lockwood thinks it’s great publicity so he makes everyone get a social media account

Lucy posts work out and rapier move tutorials

George does mukbangs and sometimes cooks with Holly

Lockwood does those like business channels where it’s like skits in Portland Row or in one of the houses (before dark obviously)

When Kipps joins l&co he posts stuff abt fittes and like behind the scenes (“ten things you didn’t know about the fittes agency (the last one will shock you)”)

Feel free to add on <3

One of the things I love most about Lockwood is that he is the textbook example of the "one who is scared to love" but instead of being extremely cold and callous all the time like your normal tragic backstory male mc, he can't stop himself from loving.

The thing is, we know he tries. (See THB). He tries to keep everyone at a distance, tries to be cold and calculating, but he can't do it. He wants to be Sherlock Holmes, highly functioning sociopath, but he can't do it.

And it shows up in the smallest ways: how immediately understanding he is of Lucy when she doesn't want to explain what happened at Jacobs' even though he is interviewing her for a job. How he stood up for the bratty nightwatch kid when Ned was bullying him, simply because he didn't like watching someone smaller get picked on. Or when he mercifully changed the bet with Kipps, because at the end of the day it was a petty bet to begin with, and they had just been through so much together, and honestly it didn't matter anymore. There was no reason to humilate anyone. How he will always protect another agent, even if they are Fittes. Heck, he even stands up for the Fittes' agents, saying "they're just kids like us." It's the adults he has beef with.

Lucy mentions that any news of a death by ghost-touch weighs on Lockwood. He is incredibly patient with Danny Skinner and perturbed that a kid this young is in his living room alone.

All three of them think of Lucy as the one with the bleeding heart. She's a Listener, a feeler, the one who is most affected by the past suffering of the ghosts. But that's for the dead.

Lockwood is a bleeding heart for the living. He tries not to be. He hates it. Because caring means risking hurt. Caring means you can lose what you care about. But for as hard as he tries to pretend he doesn't, for as good as he is at acting like nothing can phase him, it does.

Lockwood is scared of loving. But he can't stop.

[id: ink drawings of modern au Lockwood and Co characters with Skull being a cat.

1. Lockwood and Lucy introduce themselves. Lucy holds Skull—a black cat with white markings on the head, resembling a skull—and extends his paw in direction of Lockwood's extended hand and taps him, Lockwood looks concerned. they have an exchange, “I'm Lockwood.”—“Lucy.”—“Please don't. He hates me.” 2. Lucy sits on the floor in front of her laptop with books and notebooks around her. cat!Skull circles her and leans to sniff her extended hand. Lucy is distracted from her screen. 3. George sits on the floor with his legs crossed, he's typing on laptop but is distracted by cat!Skull loafing on top of sheets of papers. George says, “I need those”./end id]

I love Lucy Carlyle cuz she’s such an unreliable narrator when it comes to her opinions.

I dont believe that George is actually that repelling.

Is Lockwood actually *that* charming and handsome? I dont know, I just know that Lucy thinks so.

I dont trust anything she says regarding aesthetics and i love her for that.

NETFLIX, DROP ANOTHER LOCKWOOD & CO SEASON, AND MY LIFE IS YOUUUUURS

I've been thinking about the door on the landing.

It's easy to understand that opening that door is a sign of Lockwood's growth, him learning to trust his friends and let people in, but... keeping it closed was also learning to let people in. Specifically, letting George in. George Karim was fired from Fittes for breaking rules, asking too many questions, and visiting areas he wasn't allowed into. Lockwood knew that and brought him into his metaphorically haunted childhood home anyway. Then Lockwood made a rule that George could not enter the door on the landing, and could not ask why, the three things George had not been able to do at Fittes.

And George didn't.

He didn't ask, he didn't push, and he didn't go in. And that, Lockwood deciding to trust George even when he could be setting himself up for pain and George being worthy of that trust, that's the first cornerstone on which Lockwood could eventually build a new home, a new family. Trusting George not to cross his boundaries was Lockwood's first big leap of faith, his first step towards opening himself to others and healing.

George is just... so important. Lucy and Lockwood are incredible for each other, they're the catalysts for so much of each other's growth, but if Lockwood had met her before he met George he wouldn't have had deep enough roots to begin to bloom.
