Not to toot my own horn but I wrote a Ginevra/Lucy fic for Yuletide one year (Nymphs and Bacchantes) in which Ginevra has not been admired sufficiently at a party and comes to Lucy afterward to be... appropriately admired.
I think Lucy believes that people can have nice things as long as those people are not her, which somehow makes it even worse. Ginevra, for instance, is clearly going to get everything she wants out of life. It's just Lucy who has to tamp down on all possibility of happiness because if she allows herself to hope for anything more than dull resignation, Fate will blight her with terrible sorrows.
