Lucy Carlyle is a main character in the Lockwood & Co book series and television show on Netflix.
Canon
The first book was published on August 29, 2013. It is narrated from Lucy's point of view; she's the focal character, along with Anthony Lockwood and George Cubbins (Karim). A few fics were posted in the first few years of publication, but fandom did not pick up steam until 2016.
Fandom
Most fic is posted on Archive of our Own. There is a fandom presence on Tumblr and Twitter, and a number of defunct and still-active Discord channels.
Shipping
Lucy is most commonly paired with Lockwood. Their common ship names were portmanteaus of their names, Lucewood during the book-only years, and Locklyle after the show's premiere. They are implied to be in a canon relationship in the books. The show seemed to be building towards the same conclusion, but was canceled after season 1.
Other ships include George/Lucy/Lockwood, Skullyle or Lucy/The Skull, Lucy/Norrie (show only), and Lucy/Holly (book only).
Tropes
Fics with Lucy often explore her family trauma, specifically her relationship with her mother, and how her hometown views her. Hurt/Comfort and whump are popular, especially with Lucy as the whumpee. Other popular tropes include Modern AUs, Mission Fic, and Found Family.
