Summary
"Wait, are you being serious right now?" Lockwood inquired, almost spitting out his tea, his tone on the verge of offended. A form of shock. "Are you mad?!"
Whomever said he could be an actor wasn't wrong. Because damn he could have. Lucy could swear he was born for the stage.
"Yes. I'm very mad for the fact that I've never been on the London Eye. This is a huge emergency that must be fixed right now." Lucy rolled her eyes. "Who cares about cleaning up the problem when Lucy Joan Carlyle has never been on the London Eye?"
(SPOILERS, GO AWAY IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED THE EMPTY GRAVE AND DON'T WANT SPOILERS)
Lockwood takes Lucy to the London Eye a few weeks after the events of The empty grave.

Summary
"Of course he doesn't make sense, Lucy mused to herself, Lockwood was an enigma, really. He was deep and mysterious with a good heart and even better intentions. Did that make her sound like a simp?
Kipps is supposed to be her distraction, get her mind off Lockwood, yet it's clearly the opposite? What does that say about her?
Why did she let him fuck her up this badly? After Norrie, Lucy swore she wouldn't allow herself to find home inside another person. In this job, it's kill or be killed. She didn't want her home to die again.
Why was Lucy thinking about Lockwood instead of Kipps. He was her date, not Lockwood. This was a date, right? Did she get the wrong vibe?
Bollocks! She was a mess, an absolute mess and down bad for her employer. How could the biggest "asset" fall in love with the boss? How did it come to that? Why, oh why, did it come to that in the first place? Those questions wouldn't quit swirling around her brain."
Or, Lockwood & Lucy both have feelings for each-other. How they act on it? Flirting with other people. Well...until Lockwood blurts out how he feels on accident.

Summary
"Maybe, if she had never started dating David it would have spared her so much pain. Just like her idol Sherlock Holmes, he had interest in Irene Adler, she was only in one book, but they never did get together. She would always go down as 'a road he never took,' and Stevie couldn't help thinking how much future heartbreak that ended up saving the great detective. Maybe that's what she wanted, a life of solving crime, a life without the pain of a relationship with David."
Or;
Fixing that one um...break-up scene in Nine Liars, so it's NOT a break-up, but rather a "do again, but better this time" kind of scene.

Summary
It wasn’t like Cassie had an official rivalry with Lia Zhang. That was just how the public seemed to frame it⎼⎼as they always started against each other, one of them in the back with the ball and the other prepared to receive the serve. That was just how their coaches put them in.
However, that did not stop the media from framing it into something official⎼⎼something made out of the way the two girls clearly hated each other while being their team’s best players. Something made out of the way Cassie’s eyes narrowed and Lia’s mouth twisted into a smirk when they saw each other on the court. Something made out of the way they were obsessed with beating each other.
Colorado’s Cassie Hobbes and Quantico’s Lia Zhang.
(or, a cassielia heated rivalry au)

Summary
In a small town in 2002, a string of gruesome murders are being committed. Pippa Fitz-Amobi believes that a supernatural force is at work, but nobody except her friends believe her. One night, after being attacked, she is saved by a mysterious figure, quickly discovered to be the one the media has dubbed as “The Reaper”, though it isn’t who she thought it’d be.
It was Ravi Singh - a boy she was once in love with, until his unexpected passing in 1999. She has always believed he was murdered, despite the Detective Inspector ruling it off as a car crash.
It turns out that Ravi has made a deal to come back as an “angel of death” to kill the ones who were involved in his passing, while also trying to figure out what truly happened to his older brother Sal and his girlfriend Andie months prior to his own death. Pip swears to keep his secret, despite feeling guilty.
To help keep her mind off it, she decides to investigate the mystery that has plagued her small town for three years. Was it truly how Hawkins had said it was? Or was it all a lie?

Summary
At once, Dawn jolts from her trance. She sways forward, stabilizing herself. Her head slowly turns to meet Janet’s eye, and as though everything clicks into place, a euphoric grin stretches from ear to ear.
“Oh my gosh!” she squeals. “You’re here!”
--
Janet crosses over and searches for someone familiar. Dawn meets her half-way there.
