Only The Strong Survive

Lockwood & Co. Big Bang 2023/24 Fic

If you were under eighteen, you were old enough to have known some of the worst horrors the earth could provide, but you still couldn’t get served in a damn Wetherspoons. When the Problem started, people barely took it seriously — mostly because the older generations didn’t believe in it. When a majority of them fell victims to Ghost-Touch, they started to realise just how in danger they really were. Safe havens cropped up all over Britain, and many people tried to leave the country. It paid to be selfish in a world like this, and few could be trusted.

The ones with Talent had the best chance at survival. The ones that weren’t so afraid they locked themselves inside their houses the moment the sun began to creep down towards the horizon. The ones who could make a living by finding Sources and trading them for supplies that just weren’t common anymore.

Individually, no one ever really lasted very long after dark. So it was a good job they stumbled across each other when they did.

Or: AU in which the Problem started later and grew out of control more quickly. Merges apocalypse tropes with the Problem universe we already know.

Flash Fiction #10 challenge for @lockwoodandcoff

George isn't dealing with things well Post-Bickerstaff, but thankfully Lockwood and Lucy are there to help pick up the pieces.

Also my first time writing COT3 so this has been a fun journey. 😄

[daveys-sister]

You know why I ship locklyrim? Because from the first episode, I shipped Lucy and George just as hard as Lucy and Lockwood, because they had the BEST tension. Lucy and Lockwood are strangers to lovers, but George and Lucy are enemies to lovers. These two meet each other and immediately want to brawl, but also seemed to want to make out. I love it.

[ethicsaesthetic]

Alright not to be mean, but I’m calling on Lockwood & co fandom not to let this poll slip by, because as a throuple ship connoisseur and a Magicians viewer I’m genuinely offended that Arielle/Eliot/Q is doing this well. Like, I get it, queliot is top ship of all time, but Arielle is not part of it, please be serious. Girlie had like 2 minutes of screen time, she’s barely a character. There are like 5 other throuples on the Magicians that are more interesting than that nonsense.

Anyway, the ghost busting teens may be rated pg-13 but they’re all well-developed characters with good chemistry who would canonically die for each other, and I think that’s sweet.

Food for Thought

Cot3 Problem-verse with Social Media & Foodie George

Having lost his Talent, George takes a break from research for a while as he struggles to find his feet and his new place in the world. Now unemployed, he resorts to streaming some of his cooking on social media.

Little does he know, there’s two other people in the same situation as him, and his videos might very well be their lifeline.

my humble offering to the ravenous cot3 beast

https://archiveofourown.org/works/64132237/chapters/164560006

3/3 Chapters; 11,340 words; George/Lucy/Lockwood

Lockwood decides they’re in dire need of a holiday to Italy. Awkwardness ensues when you take them out of their comfortable bubbles.

Sample under the cut:

“They aligned, the three of them. They balanced perfectly. They were the sun and the earth, spinning and spinning, Lockwood dragging them into the dark unknown. And George could be the moon, he mused to himself. He would never tell them, of course, they’d probably laugh him out of Portland Row, but in the liminal space between dusk and sleep, he could imagine it for himself. He was the moon and he’d been lucky enough to eclipse. Nestled right between the two of them, in perfect alignment.

Like this, in some anonymous flat in Rome, Lockwood and Lucy tucked safely around him, George could almost feel it. Maybe they’d beat the odds and find themselves still sitting around the thinking cloth in ten, twenty, thirty years. Maybe they’d make it.

George was willing to place his bets.”

[lockwood-ot3]

let the hours fall into the night, rated T

Summary:

“We all work together. At a psychical investigation agency, containing Sources. It’s called Lockwood and Co.,” Lucy explained. Lockwood frowned. “That doesn’t sound right. If we’re partners, shouldn’t it be all our names?” He brightened. “Unless we’re married and have the same last name? Is that even possible? It should be, shouldn’t it?” He kissed George’s knuckles. When he looked up, George was blushing. “Oh, have we not talked about marriage yet? I’m sorry,” he said, feeling flustered. ---- Lockwood wakes up in bed with two people he doesn't remember. They must be his partners, right?

Sign Ups Are Open!

Signups are open for the 2023 Lockwood and Co Big Bang! These signups are for writers, artists, cheerleaders and reserve agents!

Feel free to sign up as many times as you want, just don't take on more than you can handle! Each role is a commitment, and your eventual teammates won't want you overworking yourself. If you want to sign up more than once, fill out the form again.

Rules can be found on the form, but a separate post will be up shortly! If you want a refresher on what the roles involve, read under the cut :)

For Writers

There are three types of bangs for this event: teeny bangs, mini bangs, and big bangs.

Teeny bangs: fics between 5–10k words.

Mini bangs: fics between 10–20k words.

Big bangs: fics 20k+ words.

The minimum word count for this event is 5k (5,000) words. If you find yourself over or under the word count you signed up for, this is okay, just please communicate with the event mods.

The rules are on the form and will be posted separately, but a brief run down (feel free to send an ask if you want more details):

No explicit (E-rated), RPF or incest fics allowed.

There are no limits on ships (besides what is stated above), genres, tropes, or universes.

No plagiarism will be tolerated.

Works must be labelled and trigger-tagged appropriately.

Works must be posted to AO3.

Fics submitted must be new to the public! The occasional preview/snippet is okay, provided it is after the teams have been announced, but they must not have been posted anywhere prior to or during the event.

Good luck!

For Artists

As you know, there are three types of bangs. For all fics under 20k words (i.e. teeny and mini bangs) you must create at least one piece of art. For big bangs (20k+ words) you must create two pieces of art.

This can be in any medium you deem fit, but unfortunately we are not accepting playlists as official artworks. Don't let this stop you from including them as additions if you want to though! Examples of appropriate art includes hand drawn/digital art, gifts, mood boards, video edits etc.

Remaining info:

Art must be relevant to the associated fic.

White-washing and orange-washing will not be tolerated.

Art must not be posted anywhere before posting dates, beyond hints/snippets. It must be new to the public!

We can't wait to see what you come up with!

For Cheerleaders

Your role is arguably the most important! It is your job to motivate and help your writer, whether that is by beta reading or simply providing encouragement! Don't be afraid to support your artist too, you're the only person they can fully share the art with (aside from their writer) before the posting day!

Brief rules:

Respect your writer and artist.

Do not share your writer's or author's work.

Please keep an open communication with your writer and artist! If for any reason you can't continue your role, please let them and the mods know as soon as possible.

Be encouraging!

We hope you're as excited as we are!

For Reserve Agents

You're the ones that have to be ready to step in at a moment's notice! (You'll probably have a fair bit of notice since this is a long event, but still.) Reserve Agents are on hold in the event that another writer or artist drops out of the event, so they can take their place in a team!

Don't worry, if you're called to action you won't have to do as much as someone who had initially signed up. As an agent reserve you:

only need to write half of the required words for a bang if you're a writer (2.5k for a teeny, 5k for a mini, 10k for a big).

will be accommodated by a later poster date if necessary if you're an artist.

That's all for now. We can't wait to kick this off!

Signed, L&Co Big Bang 2023 mods :))

lockwood and co agency:

[lemonsharks]

The biggest question that Locklyle raises for me is actually, "ok, but what about George?"

Was gonna be more but that's it. That's the post.

Be nice in the comments.
