pairing: quill kipps x lockwood!reader
summary: quill and you play a prank on your brother and friends
warnings: none i think
words: 1k
“i don’t think this is a good idea” you muttered, following after quill as you both made your way down the street. you looked down the street suspiciously, hand on your rapier, ready to fight if necessary.
it was already way past curfew which made his whole idea all the more stupid.
“you said that about fifty times in the last few minutes” he rolled his eyes “don’t worry, it’ll be fun”
“yeah, at first!” you said aggravated “but then all hell will break loose”
“oh come on! isn’t it worth it?”
“i don’t think so” you shrugged and quill came to a halt, turning around in your direction.
“what do you want me to say? or better, what do i have to tell you to make you do this, huh?”
“i don’t know” your eyes found his blue ones “maybe admit what a bad idea it actually is”
he looked down at you with this look in his eyes that always worked. “this is a terrible, horrible foolish idea” he muttered slowly, coming closer to you “let’s do it and see what happens” he grinned.
you were still not really convinced, but you could never say no to him, especially when he leaned forward and plastered a lingering kiss on your lips.
“fine” you groaned and quill laughed “but you have to make it up to me later”
“don’t worry” he smiled suggestively “i will”
now that you had said yes to his (might say, utterly stupid) prank idea on lockwood, lucy and george, he outstretched his hand, taking yours and walking up the steps to the house. “my lady?” he tapped his invisible hat, before he stepped to the side to make room in front of the door. you walked forward and took out your key to unlock the door. you walked inside followed by your boyfriend.
the prank itself wasn’t even a bit thing in it self, but you knew lockwood would flip and so did quill. his plan was to pretty harmless in itself. break into the house and color the faces of the three while they were fast asleep. you knew that your brother would make you both regret everything the moment he would wake up, but you had to admit that just the thought about that was pretty funny.
“okay, here” quill had pulled out a few markers “non-permanent markers for lucy and george. and one permanent for lockwood” your eyes widened.
“are you mental?”
quill just shrugged. “don’t worry, you’ll do george and lucy and i’ll take lockwood. i’m gonna tell him it was all me”
“you better” you pointed an accusing finger in his direction, before you took the markers out of his hand and walked up the stairs in the direction of george’s room.
you drew a mustache and another set of glasses onto george’s face. nothing too extreme, but it was still looking pretty funny.
you did the same with lucy, except that you drew a few tattoos instead of glasses.
you came down just a few minutes after that, waiting in the living room for quill to come back too.
“i’m finished” quill walked into the room smiling, before stepping next to you and kissing your neck.
“me too” you nodded and turned around, plastering a quick kiss on quill’s mouth.
you cuddled onto the sofa, quickly falling asleep holding each other.
you were wakened by a loud scream. you stumbled onto your feet and into the hallway, temporarily forgetting what you had done the night before, before your eyes fell on lucy and george that were standing in front of each other.
it looked like george had been the one who screamed.
“george! hhat happened?” you asked, rushing to his side, feigning concern.
he turned to you, his face contorted in horror. “look at my face!”
you glanced at him and had to bite back a laugh. the mustache and glasses you drew on him looked ridiculous, but you kept a straight face. “oh my goodness, george, what on earth happened?”
“i woke up like this!” he exclaimed, his voice rising in panic.
meanwhile, lucy burst into laughter, clutching her stomach. “oh, george! you look hilarious!”
lockwood, who had been woken by all the noise, came trudging down the stairs, but the anger in his eyes quickly evaporated, when he noticed both lucy and george's faces.
lucy turned her head and she only noticed now, that her face had been colored too, as lockwood pointed at it, still laughing.
her sour expression quickly turned into a smirk, when she noticed the words on lockwoods forehead, hidden behind his hair.
"wait" lucy exclaimed, before she stepped closer to the boy and drew the hair back with a quick gesture. "ohh" she laughed, when she could finally read the words.
lockwoods own laugh died out, quickly looking and yours and quill's direction, before darting to the closest mirror. "londons tiniest swordsman" he read and george and lucy broke into another fit of giggles simultaneously.
"i'm literally taller than you" your brother cried in betrayal, when he turned back around.
"i'm pretty sure quill wrote that" you said defensively, while you tried to no avail to hold back your marker. "and don't worry guys, it's not permanent"
"well, george and lucy won't have to worry about anything" quill laughed into his fist.
"what?" lockwood asked, his eyes quickly widening in horror.
george, lucy, quill and you sat in the kitchen, drinking the tea george had just prepared after him and lucy had easily washed off their facial decorations, while all of you sat and listened to lockwood cursing both you and quill while he tried to wash off the words on his forehead in the bathroom upstairs.
"well, we should definitely expect some kind of revenge" quill concluded, when lockwoods cursing stopped and loud steps echoed through the house.
"oh, you better" lockwood warned with a sarcastic grin, when he entered the kitchen. his hair was drenched and his forehead bright read from rubbing, with all the words still recognizable.
he pointed a warning finger in your direction, while he filled how water into his mug. "i let you date him and this is how you repay me, you, my own sister?"
"it wasn't my idea"
"well, i don't care" lockwood shrugged "my revenge will hit you just as hard as your boyfriend"
"i guess we have to go through that together" quill assured and you and the rest of the table started laughing at lockwoods angry grumbling.
I think what always gets me about the scene where the double agent guy gets murdered is that while Lockwood is freaking out as anybody would Lucy is completely calm and clear headed and focused on getting out of there and I realized it's cause this isn't the first time she's had to watch people die she had to sit by while listening to all of her friends die in the first episode knowing she could have tried harder to keep them from going in so to her she knows that's what she needs to focus on and seeing how lockwood reacted I think just made her know more she had to stay calm for him since he was having to deal with that guilt of thinking his decisions caused this that scene breaks my heart so bad in so many ways

This was unintentionally funny to me…
The library scene from Lockwood and Co. lives rent free in my head. Kind of wish we had an extra scene where Kipps had to get his rapier down from the ceiling. Or maybe just an extra few seconds where he orders Bobby to go get a ladder after they’re out of earshot of Lockwood.
One of my favorite scenes from the books. 💚💚💚

Something had grasped me, something held me tight. Something hauled me back onto the safety of the stones. Lockwood: his face haggard, hair disheveled, his overcoat torn and stained. Blood ran down the collar of his shirt. He gripped me tighter around the waist and pulled me to him. “No, Lucy. That’s not the way it’s going to be.”

Just thinking about what Lockwood and Kipps relationship looked like before Lucy joined Lockwood and Co.
Also love the fact that George’s middle name is “Casper”.
Season 2 of Lockwood and Co. would probably cure my depression.
I just had an idea: what if the reason Lockwood goes by his last name is because someone he used to admire did the same thing. And by someone, I mean Kipps.
The scenes are from Lockwood and Co. on Netflix.
The song is So He Won’t Break by The Black Keys.
I don’t normally make edits. Not trying to copyright anything. I do not own the clips or the song. Had a hard time finding clips in the first place. Not sure how people normally go about doing that.
Lucy: *exists*
Lockwood: She could stab me and I’d probably say thank you.
George: *completely done with him* What if I stab you?
Kipps: What if no one stabbed anyone?
Holly: *removes knives from the nearby vicinity*
Skull: I’ll stab him!

Was reading Lockwood and Co and thought of this:
