One of the reasons why I think that Lucy, Lockwood and George work so well as a trio is that they very much complete each other, making up for each other's weaknesses.

Like, Lockwood and George are a bit too aloof but Lucy is very emotionally mature. Lucy and George are a bit too flaky but Lockwood is a strong leader. Lockwood and Lucy are a bit too impulsive but George is levelheaded.

They're all very flawed and damaged kids but they raise each other up at every turn, effectively helping the others better themselves.

You know, they just work. They make sense. It's beautiful.

So here’s the thing

24 Aug: Lucy journals that she is dreaming and weak again, and it's noticeable enough for Arthur to worry 25 Aug: Lucy heard flapping at the window, had bad dreams, and wakes pale and with a sore throat (clearly was attacked that night) 30 Aug: Lucy responds to Mina’s letter about her wedding, says she is healthy, full of life, and no longer sleepwalking: “I think I have not stirred out of my bed for a week” 31 Aug: Arthur is so worried about Lucy that he asks Seward to come check on her. He says “she looks awful, and is getting worse every day.”

So options are: 1. Lucy was getting better but Dracula attacked again the night of Aug 30th (which is possible, it’s been five days since the last known attack, but Arthur’s description of her illness doesn’t sound like a sudden change) 2. Lucy was lying to Mina so as not to worry her, especially in her own time of happiness (which is pretty consistent with what we’ve seen so far)

I think both options can work and honestly both are sad. Finally hopeful and looking forward to a happy future only for a sudden change for the worse, or more of the suffocating propriety and emotional secrecy leading Lucy to isolate herself even more. There is one cool thing that comes of it though, which is that Arthur sees through it all, pushes past her reluctance to care for herself, and makes sure something is done about her illness. I just think it's really sweet that Lucy, who prides herself in being hard to read (especially by someone like Seward who kinda does it for a living) and literally practices hiding her emotions in the mirror, is in love with and being cared for by the man who sees and accepts all of her.

#gah this book makes me feel things #arthur is so sweet #further evidence imo that the suitors aren't interchangeable #like you really think she could be with seward? lol #Lucy and Arthur are meant to be together and as much as people like to view her as poly she very clearly only ever loved him #dracula #dracula daily #re: dracula #dracula analysis #another option is that Stoker mixed up the dates but where's the fun in that>

Only The Strong Survive

Lockwood & Co. Big Bang 2023/24 Fic

If you were under eighteen, you were old enough to have known some of the worst horrors the earth could provide, but you still couldn’t get served in a damn Wetherspoons. When the Problem started, people barely took it seriously — mostly because the older generations didn’t believe in it. When a majority of them fell victims to Ghost-Touch, they started to realise just how in danger they really were. Safe havens cropped up all over Britain, and many people tried to leave the country. It paid to be selfish in a world like this, and few could be trusted.

The ones with Talent had the best chance at survival. The ones that weren’t so afraid they locked themselves inside their houses the moment the sun began to creep down towards the horizon. The ones who could make a living by finding Sources and trading them for supplies that just weren’t common anymore.

Individually, no one ever really lasted very long after dark. So it was a good job they stumbled across each other when they did.

Or: AU in which the Problem started later and grew out of control more quickly. Merges apocalypse tropes with the Problem universe we already know.

This is older now from last year at some point, but I didn't post!! I still have been figuring out their tournament uniforms, but these are the general designs I've been going with for now where they can customize the accent colors at least. Jayce and Lucy are NOT friends at this point really, let alone romantically involved, but he still has been crushing a bit on Lucy and is misinterpreting her waving at Cyprus as her waving at him and now he feels like a dumbass, womp.

I hadn't shared any size comparison of Cyprus, but just want you all to know he is about 9ft tall lmao. And also can form legs! Merpeople are able to do this, but it's sort of a skill to hone, and most don't see the point bc they don't really likely interacting with the surface. But he's an ambassador and it's kind of part of his job, so he's pretty used to it personally.

#Daniel Spellbound #Lucy Santana #Jayce Chinda #Cyprus Polaris #Bleeding Magic AU #merman #size difference #giant tiny #demon #monster human romance #my art #don't worry it's not a love triangle so much as they all just end up in a poly open relationship thing lol #the only love triangles I accept is when they're all holding hands #both Jayce and Lucy are SO thirsty for him #it works out

Lucy, Lockwood and George, after everything.

(show edition. I'm not going by book canon for this one, so don't worry about spoilers)

At 21 or 22, Lockwood is the first of them that starts to lose his talent.

Which makes sense, since he's the oldest. At the beginning he refuses to even acknowledge it, but Lucy and George figure out what's happening soon enough. For a while he's just ashamed and angry and sad all the time. Then it gets better: Lucy and George get him trough it. He also calls Kipps, and they talk for hours, both coming out of it feeling almost at peace (Kipps has gone back to school and is talking about wanting to become a teacher. Which Lockwood feels like should surprise him, but actually doesn't).

Lucy is next. It breaks her heart a little (because of skull and all other type 3s) and it scares her a lot. But then she realizes how soothingly quiet the world can be at times, and lets herself think that maybe she will be alright.

George is last. And the thing is, even though it saddens him to lose the one thing that connected him to ghosts, mainly he's relieved. He's been waiting for the other shoe to drop for a while, and now that it has, he's ready for whatever may come next.

The jobs get more and more rare as they hear, see and feel less and less. Lockwood knows he could hire new kids to replace them, but in truth he doesn't really want to. Perhaps Lockwood & Co. can be laid to rest at last: after all, they've already achieved more than he ever dreamt. So the next time a client calls, he informs her they've shut down and gives her the name of an up-and-coming independent agency he's heard great things about. He only feels mildly guilty about it.

Even if they're technically not his employees anymore, George and Lucy stay. They don’t talk about it, but the idea of moving out of Portland row and living lives that aren't intrinsically intertwined feels wrong to all three of them: they're a family, after all, and nothing has to change about that.

Still, they need to make money somehow. So they muse about going far away from London, opening a bakery, living in a small house by the sea. But in the end they stay, both in the city and line of work they're used to. Because they do belong there, it's undeniable. George, of course, goes into ghost research and becomes a leading voice in the field, discovering new ways to help agents all over the country. No one is surprised, but everyone is proud. Lucy one day shows up at Barnes' office to ask him about becoming an inspector. It's the last thing either would have expected, but when he asks her why, she says it feels like the best place to be to help kids like her. To stop people like Jacobs. So he gives her a job. She's determined to change things from the inside. Barnes thinks that if someone could, it's her. And Lockwood... well, it takes a while for him to figure it out. But one evening Lucy comes home talking about a kid left deeply traumatized by a job gone wrong, and suddenly he knows. The next day he calls the bank to open up a pro bono clinic for agents and ex agents in need of psychological treatment. After less than a week they already have their first client.

Slowly but steadily, it becomes their new normal.

Lockwood sets up a study in the room on the stairs and works mainly from there. George, on the other hand, works at a lab in the City: he is the first to leave in the morning, but he always comes home soon enough to cook dinner. Lucy keeps slightly more irregular hours, and sometimes her job keeps her away for longer than she'd like. But then again she occasionally gets to come home to the adorable view of the boys fast asleep in front of the tv, so that's good.

One day Flo brings them a stray cat she found while working: they name him Donut and spoil him way too much.

Lucy starts gardening. George grows a magnificent beard (Lockwood is not jealous of it). The fridge breaks down and they have to buy a new one. Airf's son replaces him at the shop. They put up a hammock in the backyard, and spend their vacations piled into it. Mrs Burke from across the street knits them all hats for Christmas. Lockwood adds new framed articles on the walls and new knick-knacks on the bookshelves.

He's not sure when, but one day 35 Portland Row stops being the home his parents left behind and becomes his home. Their home: his, and Lucy's, and George's (and Donut's. And Kipps' when he comes over for lunch on Sundays. And Flo's when she swings by using her own keys. And Barnes' when he stays for tea after long work days).

So they keep going as they have, day after day, year after year, slowly growing older. Wounds heal and scars fade. The sun shines through the kitchen windows on summer mornings. The smell of persian food fills the air every evening. Old rapiers get dusty in the umbrella stand. There aren't any ghosts between their walls, both real and metaphorical.

Everything is alright.

Valse Royale

WC: 2431

TW/CW: Polyghouls, mentions of marijuana use (brief), dancing, throw-up (just mentions in the last few sentences), Phantom in a ballgown, fun times dancing

A/N: Projecting on the hottest new it couple, Phountain. Shoutout to @gottagho-st because without her, this wouldn’t exist. I almost scrapped it all last night, but she saved it.

@rainsbasspick @obsidianghoul my hype people <3

Playlist: Songs 1-3 are mentioned in the story, but they danced to these songs and more :)

Read below or on AO3

“Mountain, I swear, if you keep bouncing your leg, I'll chop it off. What’s up? What’s bugging you?”

Swiss says, lifting his head from Mountain's lap, pausing the movie they were watching.

“I just… I can’t think of what to do with Bug for Valentine’s day. I also really want to ask him to officially be my mate, so, y’know, it’s gotta be something special,” Mountain explains, wringing his hands.

Taking Mountain's hands into his own, Swiss chuckles at him. “Oh big man, you're such a romantic. Remember our first dates? They were the cheesiest things known to man AND ghoul. Now look at us, getting high and watching rom-coms for Valentine's day. The perfect date in my books.” He shrugs nonchalantly, but the look of defeat Mountain presented him with was enough for Swiss to cave in and help him. “Fine, I’ll help you plan something…” Mountain’s face lights up at this, “BUT, only 'cause I wanna enjoy the rest of this movie without you bouncing my head up and down. Have you thought of anything you’d like to do yet?”

“I thought about taking him to visit a museum, but I think one of the girls has already planned that. I also thought stargazing, but I’m taking Lus to do that and I don’t want to do something twice. I gotta be creative, but I’m fresh out of ideas.”

“Babe, that was literally two ideas…. There’s gotta be more in that noggin’,” Swiss chuckles tapping a finger against his mate's head for emphasis. He shakes his head at the obliviousness of the smartest ghoul he’s ever come across, “Alright, what does he like? What’s his latest hyperfixation?”

Mountain pauses his fidgeting as he considers Swiss’ question, answering after a moment of silence, “Mmmm, we’ve recently been watching a lot of princess movies? I blame Rory for that, but he seems to really enjoy the big dancing scenes with all the twirling and stuff, I guess.”

“Bingo, take him dancing!” Swiss’ face splits with one of his signature grins, looking as though he’s cracked the hardest investigation.

“Where?”

“The ballroom’s… ‘open’ on Valentines Day!”

Mountain looks at him confused.

“Well, okay, not open to the public, but I have the key”

“Huh?”

“Mount, how much did you smoke? Let me remind you, I'm on the decorating committee for the abbey's Valentine’s Day ball this weekend.”

“Ooohhh yeah!”

“Mhmm, yes, glad we’re on the same page now,” Swiss laughs at his mate, “That’s why we're having our date today because I’m busy the next time you're free.” Mountain nods in understanding, “Here’s what I’ll do; I’ll make sure it’s decorated by your date, and I'll give you the key the morning of.”

“Yes! Thank you,” Mountain says, pulling Swiss into a deep kiss.

“Anytime big man, now let's finish the movie, I think she realized she left something behind in Ireland” Swiss settles back into the comfort of the earth ghouls lap as he presses play.

“‘Bout fucking time.” Mountain grumbles with a small smile on his face.

–

Feb 14. The Big Day

Mountain woke up extra early to get his chores done and prepare last minute date items. He assembled a bouquet of fresh flowers for Phantom, as well as some food trays for the ballroom. Swiss dropped off the key earlier in the day and gave him a list of instructions for when they’re done with the date.

At 6pm sharp, he knocks on Phantom’s door. Flattening his vest, wiping the sweat off his hands in the process, he stands a little taller, and waits for the door to open.

Phantom opens the door, wearing gray fitted pants, and a black button up with the sleeves rolled up. “Hi, Mountain!” He beams up at the other ghoul, before eyeing him up and down, “You look good. Like, really good.”

“So do you Phantom. I got you some flowers,” Mountain says all shyly.

Phantom takes them and places them in an empty vase, still on his desk from the last time he was given flowers.

“So, what are we doing today?” Phantom is practically bouncing in excitement as he turns his attention back to the giant on his threshold.

“It’s a surprise, but first…” Mountain bends down to give him a kiss, before pulling away and motioning for him to follow. Making small talk, Mountain grabs his hand, and they make their way towards the maze garden.

“Have you been having fun on your dates?” Phantom’s eyes brighten at the question, energy bursting at the seams.

“Yes! Lus took me to the museum! We got to see some cool statues and sculptures. Rory and I did a movie night. Cirrus took me to the planetarium, then we stargazed. Swiss took me to the beach, and Rain and Dew took me to the aquarium, and they kept poking fun at each other saying things like ‘look Rain, it's you’ and it would be like a blobfish. It was really fun,” Phantom responds, jumping around, without letting go of Mountain's hand.

“That's good my little prince, I’m glad you’ve been having fun! Are you excited for the ball this weekend?”

“I am! Swiss was telling me about the decorations and the planning! I think I want to help next year with the setup. I dunno. I want to be more involved in the abbey life.” He ponders.

“I think that’s brilliant, my flower” Mountain smiles fondly down at the smaller ghoul.

They continue to chat, and weave through the hedges, getting lost at some points. They made it to the center of the maze where a swing hung from a tree. Phantom runs and sits on the wood plank. Coming up behind him, Mountain gives him a light push. Giggling, Phantom begins to pump with his legs, gaining some height. He feels a childlike joy coursing through his body, something he’s only experienced a few times before. Once peak height has been reached he lets Mountain know he’s going to jump off.

“No! Phantom! You’re gonna get hurt!”

“No, I won't! Catch me!” Phantom screams before jumping into Mountain's arms, laughing his head off. He’s laughing so hard he completely stops making noise. He’s just waving his arms, and his tail’s thumping against the grass underneath him. With a snort, he regains some air. Mountain breaks into laughter, and soon they’re on the ground laughing.

After some time laying in the grass, Mountain sits up. “C’mon, my prince. We have somewhere to be.”

“At this hour? Where are we meant to be?” Phantom quirks an eyebrow at the sudden movement.

“You'll see soon enough darling. Here, I need to put this on you first.”Mountain gestures to a strip of fabric he had produced from his pocket.

“Uh sure, yeah,” with that, Phantom lets himself be blindfolded. Mountain guides him through the garden, but Phantom’s too curious for his own good.

“I feel like we're doing something illegal… Mountain, I'm too young to go to jail!” He exclaims, tail twitching with the combination of nerves and excitement.

“We’re not going to jail, just shh and keep walking, just a few more steps”

“Mount…are you going to kill me?! I'm too young to die!”

“Phantom stop… you're going to be okay! No one’s getting murdered tonight!”

“Promise?”

“I promise”

After a brief intermission, Mountain continues his mission to get Phantom into the ballroom. After some more bickering, Phantom walks through the doors and to the middle of the ballroom where the blindfold is removed.

He looks around bewildered, and a little awestruck.

“Wha- What is this?”

“I- mm, well, we’re going to -uh, dance together. I notice how the little gold flecks in your eyes come alive when the waltzing scenes come on during the movies. Especially during Cinderella.” Mountain reaches up to rub a hand along the back of his neck shyly.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about…” Phantom replies with the biggest smile on his face.

“Nooo, of course not. It’s definitely not you humming those songs, nor your body moving by itself to the rhythm of the music… must have you confused with someone else,” Mount smirks.

Phantom smiles, nodding because he’s so excited he doesn’t even have the proper words to thank Mountain.

“Oh, and I got you something. It’s that box on the table,” Mountain points to the box.

Phantom goes to the box and finds a black ball down, with gold constellations. Pulling it out, he notices the gold bodice details, the constellations shimmering under the light, the slit that runs up the right side, exposing his legs. The black tulle and fabric add volume to the gown, making it lightweight and flowy.

With teary eyes, Phantom looks up to meet Mountain’s also teary eyes, “but how did you…?”

“You talk a lot when you’re exhausted. After watching Beauty and the Beast, you told me you wanted to twirl in a gown, and you’ve told me several other times, but didn’t want anybody to know… so I figured we could dance and you could twirl in a ballgown. Just here, the two of us. ”

“Mountain..” Phantom takes two steps and jumps up to hug Mountain. “Thank you”

“Get changed, I'll be waiting,” Mountain urges him.

Carrying his ball gown, he rushes to the bathroom.

While he changes, Mountain brings out the finger food and wine glasses. Setting up the tables, just like the movies. He was determined to make this night feel like a fairy-tale for Phantom. He deserves the best.

He was pulled out of his thoughts, when he heard a small voice call for him.

“Hey Mount, can you help me?”

Without looking up, Mountain responds, “Yeah Bug, what's up?”

“I- uh, need help with the zipper.”

Mountain turns around and his jaw drops to the floor. Phantom was gorgeous on a regular basis, but this is something else entirely. He’s absolutely breathtaking . The gown fits him perfectly, hugging his shape perfectly. Remembering that he asked for help, Mountain pulls himself together and walks over to Phantom.

He helps Phantom with the zipper and kisses his shoulder tenderly, whispering You look stunning into his ear. A visible shiver runs through Phantom’s body. A shy thank you leaves his lips.

“May I have this dance, my Prince?” Mountain bends and extends his hand to Phantom.

“Why, yes, of course,” Phantom giggles as he places his hand in Mountain’s offered one.

He guides Phantom to the center of the dance floor. They stand facing each other ready to begin dancing when Phantom realizes he doesn’t know how to dance.

“Wait, I don't know how to dance!” His eyes fly to Mountains, widening in panic.

“Shh, it’s okay, just follow my lead. Feel it in your heart, don't look at your feet. Keep your eyes up. It's only you and me remember, no one's going to know if you mess up. I’ve got you, Bug, always.”

The reassurance is all he needed.

La Valse de L’amour begins to play over the speakers. Phantom's eyes light up even more, and somehow manage to widen even more. Mountain grabs Phantom's lower back and tightens his grip on it, bringing him closer. They begin to sway side to side as the music begins to build. Mountain guides Phantom through their first dance. Spinning him just like Kit spun Cinderella, twirling him, giving him the most perfect first dance. Mountain made sure to include the lift which has him laughing and demanding for more. As the song ended, Mountain crossed his arm over his chest, and Phantom curtsied. It was like a fairytale.

Phantom is breathless, amazed and oh so in love. “Mountain! Mountain! Please tell me there's more songs!” He gasps through his giggles.

Mountain can't contain his laughter, “yes, Bug there are so many songs.”

The hours pass, and the two lovebirds enjoy every minute they’re together.

Mountain guides Phantom through several more dances, and after each one, Phantom’s only response is “More!” through a fit of giggles. He’s never had this much fun.

Mountain forces the smaller ghoul to take breaks. Take a breather, and eat some food, drink some water and some wine.

I Want to Know What Love Is playing softly in the background as Mountain pulls Phantom into his chest, his hands finding the small of his waist. Phantom wraps his arms around Mount’s neck, and they softly sway side to side, exhaustion catching up to them.

“Can we dance together on Saturday night? At the gala? Please.” Mountain looks down and is met with big ol’ puppy dog eyes from Phantom.

“Of course bug” Mountain smiles down at him fondly.

“But I'm not wearing the dress… is that okay? Will you be mad?” Phantom furrows his brow in concern.

“You could wear sweats and I'll dance with you, the dress is yours to do whatever you want with. I knew this was something you wanted to experience, so I wanted to be the one to help you. I did get you a bow tie that matches the dress, though.”

“Did you really? Thank you! Thank you for understanding.”

They just keep swaying into the next song.

“There’s something I want to ask you”

“Mmm”

“Well…uhm… from the moment I met you, my life has been brighter and filled with a sweet melody that my heart dances to. Your laughter is enchanting, and I want to be the reason you laugh everyday. I look forward to seeing you everyday. Being around you brings a serenity to the chaos that is life in the abbey. When I’m with you, my world brightens. I’ve come to realize that I love you beyond all things. I love you, Phantom Aeon Ghoul. I love you with all my heart. Will you do me the honor of accepting me as your mate? I mean, officially, if you’ll have me? Will you be the harmony to my melody and dance through life with me? ”

“I thought you'd never ask! Yes Mountain, I would love nothing more!” Phantom grins cheekily, wiping tears running down his face, “Buuuut, only if I get to bite you first and if you twirl me until I throw up”

“I'll twirl you, but there will be no throwing up. One more song to dance to, your favorite.”

“Is it… is it what I think it is?”

Merry-Go-Round of Life begins playing. They dance their hearts out as they don’t know when the next time they’ll get this opportunity.

Much to Mountain's dismay, Phantom indeed throws up after changing and twirling his way out of the ballroom.
