    Summary

    “Could have fooled me. You’re about as restful as an unfed wolf on a tether.” The ectoplasm inside the jar swells and tightens, putting on a frightful parody of a smirk. “Except a wolf would at least admit to being hungry."

    Apparently, Lucy can’t take a day off in peace and quiet without losing her mind. Set between The Hollow Boy and The Creeping Shadow.

    Summary

    A frustrating case leaves Lucy's sword arm bruised almost as bad as Lockwood's ego. They need to unwind, and Lucy knows just the thing.

    Because some days, sticking a sword in a straw woman just isn't going to cut it.

    Summary

    “You look nice too,” he continues.  “I like the hat.”

    “I hate the hat,” she replies flatly, rolling her eyes.

    He resists the urge to reach out and adjust its angle on her head.  He would have done, before, in the years when they were constantly toeing the line between friendly banter and outright flirting.  But those years are long gone, so he just says, a little teasingly, “Still can’t take a compliment, can you?”

    “Ha.  Can’t teach an old dog new tricks and all that.  I’m bad at fancy events.”

    “I know.”

    “Fish out of water.”

    “A lot of animal metaphors going on here.”

    She laughs.  He thinks again that he’s missed making her laugh.  He’s missed her.

    Summary

    It was all her fault.

    All her fault.

    He was losing his damn mind, and it was all because of her. One move, one second, one heartbeat, and his world crumbled apart like a warm cookie.

     

    Or: Lockwood realizes he's attracted to Lucy, which sets in motion a chain reaction of events as he and Lucy try to take the next step without actually talking about their feelings.
