Summary
It was devastating, really, how beautiful Lucy was as she shimmered with it.
When Lockwood sees the beginnings of a death-glow around Lucy, he thinks he might be losing his mind — but he senses that there’s something deeply wrong. To keep the agency afloat they’re forced to work with Kipps and his crew, solving the one case that just might be the key to saving Lucy. If they make it in time, of course. No one knows how much longer she has left.
But Lockwood can’t lose her.

Summary
Messina is set to see its biggest wedding yet this summer — if the best man and maid-of-honour could stop bickering long enough to get it off the ground.
An AU in which Benedick and Beatrice are too wise to be fooled by Don Pedro’s schemes, but too foolish not to fall in love anyway. Tasked with planning Hero and Claudio’s second wedding, they find that time has not yet healed the years and love lost between them. With any luck, they might even get some of it back.

Summary
It’s been a year since Gilbert left for Toronto without saying goodbye to any of his old friends. Over the summer, he returns to Charlottetown to work with Dr Ward and finds the whole Queens bunch waiting for him. They want to know what he’s been up to — more importantly, they want to know what’s going down with Anne Shirley-Cuthbert.
(A modern college AU in which Gilbert and Anne don’t reconcile before leaving Avonlea, but with the help of the whole of Charlottetown, they might just get their second chance after all.)

Summary
It's twenty to nine, and the starry sky is a deep shade of midnight blue, and Erin's arm is still linked with James'.
As it has been for the better part of two minutes by now.
Erin's pretty sure she should probably let go at some point, or maybe that's James' responsibility, what does she know, she's no expert, but he's not made any move to shake off her arm and Erin doesn't know how to unlink it without making it terribly awkward. She's also becoming increasingly concerned that the point she was supposed to let go lies about two minutes in the past when they stepped out onto the street, and aware that it's only gonna get more difficult with every step they take -
But she also won't mind holding on to it a little longer. Not that much, anyway.
Or; Erin and James on their long walk to the prom.

Summary
The first time Anthony Lockwood has the passing thought that he’d like very much to kiss Lucy Carlyle is approximately three hours after he first met her.
Look, he’s not carved out of stone. It doesn’t matter that he already knows how pointless it is to chase after kites, crave an extra biscuit or an afternoon in the sun — a beautiful idea is still beautiful, and when a pretty girl walks into his flat, it’s going to cross his mind.

Summary
“You could hold me out over the edge of that balcony in the office and pretend to drop me,” I suggested.
“I will have to laugh about that one later, Lucy.”
-
Based on a Tumblr prompt, which was basically: what if Lucy got ghost-touched while on a case with Lockwood, and after finding that they don't have any adrenaline injections with them, she asks Lockwood to kiss her?
Purely to stave off the ghost-touch, of course.Bookmarked by thestaples
