>>90950075Y'know, after thinking about it some more, you know what I'd love to see happen? Here me out here.
What do Lucy and Augustus have in common the most besides being able to trade bantz? They're both fell in rut to screwing up their chances with their one true loves and accepting that their flaws major malfunctions can't be fixed.
Let's take Augustus, specifically. We're made to originally think he's just a creep and looking to put another notch on his belt. We later find that he sincerely cared for Daisy but had to frame of reference on how to convey it. He manipulates Daisy into going full slut-mode on Mike, which backfires, then he sweeps in from the shadows all like "See? Mike will never love you no matter how you act. Unlike me, who appreciates the true you."
Even if you discount the whole "rapey" kiss thing, it was a fucking shitty way to treat someone you care about. He betrays Daisy's trust as a result of him not knowing how to express his feelings in a healthy way. Lucy obviously ends up in the same boat. Her shitty personality of not being able to express her feelings properly ultimately caused Mike to turn to Sandy instead, and then things just regressed from there. Both Lucy and Augustus consider themselves broken and reserved to just living with their regret.
So, what if taking this into account. Seeing that DaisyxAbbey ship is sunk. Lucy decides "Fuck it, at least one of us should be happy!" and ultimately plays wingman for Augustus. Helping him repair the broken trust with Daisy and redeeming him in the process. Even if it doesn't lead to DaisyxAugustus in the end, it would help put his regrets behind him.
It'd be a cool way to see Lucy continue to put her efforts to more positive ends and maybe learn more about herself in the process. Then use that experience to help herself move forward as well.
