    Summary

    Dean Winchester can't write when his nephew is screaming down the house. The silence of the reference room at his local library is exactly what he needs, except someone is sitting at his table. A very handsome male someone, with the kind of blue eyes that Dean has only written about in his romance novels.

    The man is there again the next day, and the next, his blue eyes staring at Dean across the tables, and maybe he's just horny, but Dean can't stop checking him out.

    A library AU in which two strangers get to know each other through long, lingering stares, bound by the strict "no talking" rules of the reference room.

    Summary

    Henry Fox likes to think he’s led a good life.

    He’s been a good son to his parents, though his grandmother would probably disagree with him being a good grandson—although, if he’s honest with himself, he’d rather take that as a compliment. He’s used the family money for good, built a life for himself. He’s saved the sweetest beagle from a shelter and paid an arm and a leg bringing him to the States from England. He doesn’t think killing a few mosquitos in his lifetime and the select words he had for the homophobic part of his family should curse him for years of torture.

    Alas, that’s the only explanation as to why the public library he’s worked for for years would move him to a branch right next to a goddamn fire station.

    Or, 5 times Henry embarrasses himself in front of Alex and 1 time Alex embarrasses himself in front of Henry.

    Summary

    There's a boy that comes to the library every night at 9 pm,and stays until well passed midnight.
    Or at least, Akutagawa only knows him from his late night shifts.

    The boy is quiet; seemingly one of those nerds he sees on daily basis in the university. His hair is silver,with few dark lines,and his eyes are always sparkling with different shades of purple and gold. Different people are always coming and going all day long,but this particular tired college student has been imprinted in Akutagawa's mind.

    "Hi,i,uh," he stammers,and sigh;its almost 2 in the morning and Akutagawa can sympathy with him if he wasn't bored out of his mind, "i like to borrow this book?"

    Akutagawa sighs,and reaches out to take the other boy's books from him. As he writes down each book, he glances up at the boy who's busy trying stiffle his yawn,and failing pathetically.

    "Are you perhaps a teacher of some sort?"

    Summary

    “Beautiful,” Waverly breathed, eyes fixed on the book in front of her as she ran her hand gently, reverently over it. She traced her finger carefully over the gilt lettering on the cover then down the spine, noticing with pleasure its fine condition despite its age. This was often her favourite part, the anticipation before the book was opened and the treasure within was revealed. As she slowly opened the cover, she took a deep breath, relishing that old book smell that she loved so much. Inside, the paper was stained, spots of damp in places, but there in the top right hand corner of the front endpaper was what she was looking for.

    Or, a rival librarians/enemies to lovers AU...

    Summary

    This was ridiculous. Even when he had first met Ali at college, Lawrence couldn’t remember a time when he had acted like this; like a fumbling, flustered teenager. And all over a man who Lawrence was sure would never be interested in someone like him. Who would go for a middle aged divorcée? Surely not Adam.

    Summary

    Library assistant Hob Gadling has been working at a university library for a few years now. He's happy, or, to be precise, he has no reason to be unhappy.

    But then Dream Olympiou, freshly hired subject librarian, stirs up the sleepy reading rooms and Hob's life with a personality that leaves much to be desired and a body that's got fine written all over it.

    Hob is in for an adventure long overdue, including misunderstandings, shushed feelings, and checked out brains (and arses).

    Summary

    For all the spooky rumors about Misktonic University, it’s not so bad. Really, Curtis will take all the place’s ghillies and ghosties and long-legged beasties over the smug, milk-white and meat-pink little boys who call him ‘darkie,’ and worse when they think they can get away with it. The library enforces quiet, and the awful age and frightening contents of so many of its volumes shocks the little bastards into silence. And like any library, it’s cool in summer and warm in winter, and the order is soothing. Besides, Curtis has always loved books.

    Summary

    This social outing with Choi Yoona is not exactly what Sangwoo was expecting. The woman seems to be the same type of person that Jaeyoung is: beautiful, a little bit cold, but willing to be friendly once all pretenses have been dropped. A prototypical popular girl who Sangwoo would’ve done everything to avoid when he was in high school. So, in some part of his mind, he was anticipating that Yoona suggest an art gallery, or a mall, or a restaurant to meet up at.

    Instead, he’s sitting at a cat cafe. (from Ch.29)

    Summary

    Summary

    Every week at precisely 2pm, Ren comes into the library where Martyn works. To say that Martyn is fascinated by this strange man with a love of the fantastical and mythical, and mannerisms that alternate between ancient English and not so ancient pirate, would not be inaccurate.

    Summary

    “I was hoping you’d come back,” Gale said without thinking. He winced internally, all too aware of how desperate he sounded.

    “Were you, now?” Astarion tilted his head ever so slightly, amber eyes roaming every inch of his face.

    Not trusting his voice, Gale just nodded, and Astarion ducked his head closer, so close he could smell the faint citrusy scent of his skin.

    “And…what were you hoping for, darling?” His voice was nearly a whisper, lips close enough to his ear that he could feel the heat of his words.

    Gale swallowed hard before finally finding his voice. “I was wondering what you meant by next time,” he said, pulling back to look the other man in the eyes.

    ~~~***~~~***~~~

    Stand-alone piece of slow burn to filth to crash featuring Astarion and Gale in a modern AU. Enjoy.

    Summary

    Yuuta almost feels a tinge of embarrassment for having spent so much time scouring modern bookstores. All the while, The Vault of Veritas, with its trove of ancient wisdom, had been waiting this whole time. He should have begun his search here, in this haven of historical texts.

    “Welcome to The Vault of Veritas, where every book ever written can be found in our catacombs. What book are you looking for today?” Her rehearsed greeting sounds as though she’s recited it countless times, the words having lost their charm.
