hearts heal

Lucy Carlyle left Lockwood and Co six months ago. She's now a thriving freelance agent, the best in the business and she's using music and drink to cope with her new reality.
Anthony Lockwood is empty without his Luce on cases. He can't eat right, he can't sleep through the night (not that he did before much anyway) and he's becoming more and more reckless by the day.
George Karim and Holly Munro watch their friend fall deeper into this spiral of pain, trying to keep him afloat while he drowns, all the while also grieving the loss of their lucy.

(set before TCS and TEG - my own thoughts on Lucy's freelance year)
(just to be clear, a lot of the plot is changed in this so don't expect it to closely follow the books as this is my own head cannon of lucy, lockwood and their time apart)
