    Summary

    The first time it happened, he’d been twelve and still working for Gravedigger Sykes. That time, it had been triggered by death-glows at a cluster haunting that had killed almost ten people before an agency had been called in to get it sorted.

    Sykes had only grunted, dosed him with children’s paracetamol, and tossed him his first pair of sunglasses. They were scratched and comically large on his pre-teenaged face, but did the job and prevented another attack for over a year.

     

    Or, missing scenes throughout canon as Lockwood struggles with chronic migraines. Also as he falls in love with Lucy Carlyle (to use a possibly overused turn of phrase) slowly, and then all at once.

    Summary

    There was a slight tickle itching at the back of Lockwood's throat. As he drifted off to sleep, the idea occurred to him that perhaps he was getting sick. Hadn’t Lucy’s recent cold begun with a sore throat?

    But that was unlikely. His immune system was made of stronger stuff. He hadn’t gotten sick from Lucy’s head cold yet, and he wouldn’t get sick now. Surely his body wouldn’t betray him again after he’d already fractured his wrist.

    -----

    Lockwood thinks it can't get worse after he fractures his wrist, but he quickly learns that it can.

    Summary

    But it hadn’t been fifteen minutes when someone rang the bell outside. Thinking they must’ve forgotten something, Lockwood took his sweet time shuffling back to the door, but his sarcastic greeting died on his lips when he opened it.

    “Mrs. Karim.”

     

    Or, George’s mother briefly takes over 35 Portland Row.
