After years of service to Jacobs and Co., Lucy Carlyle decides it’s finally time to try her hand at freelancing in London before her Talent begins to fade for real. Following a terribly shitty case (graveyard, Shade, misplaced shovel) all she wants to do when she gets home is relax. However, the sink in her flat is leaking.
She could call a handyman. She really should. But she’s tired and that's all too much work. So, swiping through the latest Agent dating app, Fetch, she goes to her first match of the night (a certain Anthony Lockwood) and asks a simple question: “Do you happen to own a spanner?”
Written for the 2023/2024 Lockwood & Co. Big Bang.
Happy Lockwood & Co. Big Bang! Excited to share this one with y’all! Keep an eye out for the final two chapters to be posted in the coming days.
Big shout out to everyone @lockwoodandcobigbang2023 for organizing this!
Thank you to @onlyaperfectdisaster and @untilweyeetagain for being an amazing cheerleader/beta reader and brilliant artist respectively! Y’all are amazing!!

played the game ok boomer at my family party today, ended up explaining to a room of ~20 of my relatives what fanfiction is so they could understand the question, “in fanfiction, what does AU stand for?”. and then the card’s definition of “AU” was wrong so i also had to get into the concept of “canon”.
can u believe. in front of my whole family. a room full of people, aged 3 to 80. all staring at me intently as i explain the difference between an alternate universe and canon divergence. at one point my mom was like “daina i think we get it” and a cousin and two aunts were like “wait no we’re interested please continue” and i had to say to my own mother in front of god and my i am kenough sweatshirt “sorry but unlike you the rest of them DON’T have to listen to me talk about fanfiction on the regular”. my uncle is a retired judge. my one cousin worked for the federal government in a job that was so classified that for years he literally couldn’t legally tell us about ANYTHING he was working on. and today those men sat and patiently listened to me define “coffee shop AU”.
also, not one, not two, but THREE of the answers for the young folks, i knew solely because they were either plot points on stranger things or they were things i found out whilst reading stranger things fanfics. and then i was the only person in our age bracket (10 people, ranging from ages 9 to 42) that knew who anne rice was, and had to explain yet again that the reason i had this knowledge was because… fanfic.
it was surreal. also my aunt, aged 68, may or may not begin attempting to read fanfic now because, according to her, “there are so many stories where there are these small side characters and i’d just KILL to hear their backstory or like what was going through their minds during the main action!” i’m very happy for her. today was wild.

title: who you gonna call?
chapter 2
notes: In which Ava finally works up the courage and Beatrice tells a ghost story.
summary: “I think it’s time we go out.”
Ava feels the weight lift off her chest. Take that, she says to the Mary in her head. I did it.
Bea blinks at her slowly. “Did you want to get pancakes?”
“Yes, I-” She frowns and the weight drops again. “No. No, I want to go out with you.” Bea blinks again. “On a date.”
“A date.” Bea frowns. “You and… me?”

for avi jones:
What’s something that makes them laugh every single time? Be specific! (note: you don't have to be specific)
What’s their instinct in a fight / flight / freeze / fawn situation?
If they committed one petty crime / misdemeanor, what would it be? Why?
Do they give tough love or gentle love most often? Which do they prefer to receive?
answer any you want to/any that apply :3
(sorry it took so long for me to get to this ! as a bonus i shall include a picture of them)
What’s something that makes them laugh every single time? Be specific!
avi jones is definitely a nervous laugher, so tbh i think the most likely thing to make them laugh Every single time is being put in awkward situation where they don't know what else to do. also, the more likely they are to be caught completely off-guard by a joke, the more likely they are to laugh at it- much more than if they were expecting it in any possible way
What’s their instinct in a fight / flight / freeze / fawn situation?
the boring but true answer is "it depends" - growing up, their immediate instinct was always Fawn, but that's a habit they've worked really hard to kill.
when attempting to confront a personal issue, they'll pretty much always default to Flight; they are Very good at running away from and ignoring the ugly truths they don't want to recognize.
however, when confronted with an Actual Life Threatening Emergency, such as An Actual Monster Is Attacking Them (monster of the week, my beloved ttrpg), all their usual anxiety and caution goes straight out the window and their default impulse is Fight. There is a danger, they are qualified to handle it, by god, they're gonna be Useful even if it kills them. they rush headfirst into danger and only panic later when they realize how stupid it was.
If they committed one petty crime / misdemeanor, what would it be? Why?
this is funny because nowadays at like, 26 years old, they're the most straitlaced put-together-acting nerd who never goes out and has only attended awkward office holiday parties, so most people would be surprised to hear about the very non-hypothetical drug possession charges they had back in college OOPS. if you asked them about it now they'd say something like haha well everyone got a little crazy in college but the real answer is they were like, having a devastating mental breakdown with zero actual coping mechanisms in place. its okay they got better (they don't think they need therapy but they desperately do)
Do they give tough love or gentle love most often? Which do they prefer to receive?
ooh this is interesting. i think gentle love. they're bad at expressing themself directly but a little gesture means a lot to them- when they care they'll remember your coffee order, finish up a task for you without telling you because they know you're stressed, make sure to have the kind of snacks you like in stock. they've gotten enough shit over time under the guise of "tough love" that they shy away and would rather offer the "i'm here if you need me" kind of love, and they'd probably want the same in return. sometimes they need someone who can be hard on them, but that person has to know the right time to not risk scaring them off, y'know?
