Lucy was wearing his mother’s necklace. The one he had shown to her along with a somewhat nervous explanation- “My dad gave it to her soon after they met. It was a symbol of his undying devotion.”

And now, I’m giving it to you, had gone unspoken about a week later, as he set the necklace down on her bed along with some papers. As a symbol of mine.

Lockwood really wished he had found the courage to say that out loud. He was a bloody fool. Assuming she would understand and leaving things unsaid (the most important things) was almost always his downfall. Especially with Lucy. Sure, he could fight off hordes of ghosts or beat just about anyone in a duel no problem- but the second he tried to ask out the girl he liked, Lockwood decided to flounder around like a Limbless.

Or, in which their relationship isn't confirmed and Lockwood flounders around like a Limbless.

Lucy's breathing evened out. Lockwood didn't know where she was asleep or just resting, but he lifted her hand to hold between both of his, propping his elbows on the gurney so he could lean his head against his hands.

Then, without thinking (at least, that's how he'd tell himself it was later), he pressed a kiss to the side of her hand, just under the base of her thumb.

Lucy stirred a little. "Something happened?"

Shit. "Sorry, just getting settled," Anthony lied. He felt awful for it, but neither of them was in any state to have a discussion this would generate. He should never have done it.

"Hmm." Lucy seemed to drift back off.

Anthony sighed. The hardest part of the night was done. They'd get through the rest as long as he was careful. And he was certainly going to be. 5 times Lockwood kissed Lucy and she thought it was just as friends, and one time where it was clearly something more.

Stone Walls and Light Cracks (This will be us)

Rating: T | Category: F/M, Gen | Relationship: Lockwood/Lucy

The servants were serving another man, the Earl of Lockwood, who was leaning against a long table at the other end of the now open hall, next to the small but conspicuous and ornate chair that was placed at the end. He had his dark hair down and was staring at the wood in front of him as if it held some important message and solution to what had plagued them for so long. But when he heard the sound of the man entering, he looked up. Though his stature and bearing belied his youth, it marked him at the same time, for dark shadows formed under his eyes and the threat he faced almost alone was evident in his expression.

Imagine Lockwood, Lucy and George living in a version of 13th century Middle Ages and the world of Merlin (TV). Anthony, Earl of Lockwood is the son of a king, but tries to live his life as an independent lord. As the Problem, the plague, haunts the people and Lord Lockwood's father, the King, refuses to take decisive action to protect the people, Lockwood fights his own battles, fighting ghosts in secret. George de Clarim, supports him but hides his own secrets. When they get close to capturing a thief in a strive for distraction, our story sets in...

The Cat Distribution System

“Hey, what does Skull think about this?” George asked, waving at the cat currently purring up a storm on his kitchen table.

“What do you mean?” Lucy questioned, eyes still on the Thinking Cloth before her.

“Is he upset that you’ve got a new pet?”

Lucy closed her eyes and George saw the skull move like a tornado of plasm in his jar. The cat shot up into the air like it was on a trampoline, hissed, and ran from the room. Lucy got up, walked over to Skull and shut the jar’s valve.

“You did that on purpose.”

Everything Is Exactly The Same, Only Instead Of A Talking Skull, There Is A Wisecracking Goose

I feel like my title answers all the questions you might have about this plot.

This is a gift for Kate/Barrons. She knows what she did to deserve this, and if that sounds ambiguously either friendly or threatening, you've got the gist of the vibe this work has.

Basically, the Skull doesn't exist in this AU. There's a goose who makes wisecracks and hangs out with the squad, although he may not be an entirely reliable narrator.
