CRIMSON PEAK ¦
I like to think that Edith and Thomas lived happily ever after in London as a beautiful aristocratic couple who travel the world...

In music, the note E-sharp is identical to the note F-natural. Let us suppose, then, that when Edith Cushing becomes E. Sharpe, she is also the most natural and correct version of so many Fs—female, family, friend, even financier for Thomas.
Lucille’s first initial is not a musical note, but let us suppose it is a twisted version of one: L is the twelfth letter of the alphabet, so if we start over again with H, L matches up neatly with…E. Lucille is a strange E-sharp, F-natural that can never truly exist. Her versions of female and family and friend and, yes, even financier are all made strange by things outside the norm. Chief among them, murder: for example, where Edith would bring Thomas money by simply marrying and loving him, Lucille ends up killing people in order to fund his work.
These two notes are odd and distinct versions of each other, and Thomas Sharpe loves them both. Therefore, Edith and Lucille should kiss on the mouth and make beautiful music together. In this essay I will
Crimson Peak Main Character Ages
Edith is 24. The flashback at the beginning with Eleanor's ghost happens when she's 10, and then the main action takes place "14 years later" according to a title card onscreen
Thomas is 34, based on the date of the newspaper announcing Beatrice's murder (1879), his age at the time (12), and the present year shown in Carter Cushing's checkbook (1901)
Lucille is 36, from the same logic above. (people seem to enjoy interpreting their age gap as much larger, which is weird to me because it's stated onscreen? by Alan when he's confronting them near the end? even if you don't pause the movie to read document dates- understandable -"12 and 14 when Beatrice was murdered" makes the gap clear)

Lucille took locks of hair from each of their victims, so lovingly braided each one of them, and kept them neatly in a drawer.
Because she’s just sentimental like that.
