Summary
At the compound, the only books they were permitted consisted of a short list of theological books and a few children’s books that didn’t contradict Father’s teachings. Even those, Simon had read hundreds of times by the time he was a teenager. Having such unrestricted access to the books at the library had filled him with so much wonder; he took a new one home every shift. They offered him information about the new world he had suddenly found himself in, but they also provided him with a feeling of connection; the stories of thousands of characters were at his fingertips—full of hope, survival in the face of hardship, and, above all, love. He read nearly everything he could get his hands on, finding merit in every story no matter the genre or content.
Maybe it was fate that it was those very same books that led him to meet Ryland Grace.

AKA a Bloodymary AU where Simon is a librarian who has just left the cult he grew up in, Grace comes in for materials for his students, and they fall in love while also healing the parts of them that reject softness <3

The text had made him immediately suspicious. Ryland never cancelled, especially not when Thai food and Meryl Streep were on the line.

Summary
He'd been trying to come up with a way to ask him since the very first time they kissed, but life had gotten in the way. Ryland told himself it was fine; he could wait, be patient, and ask Simon once things settled down for both of them. But he was finding his patience to be increasingly lacking. He had to do something.

Eventually, Simon spoke, his voice still rough with sleep, “How long have you been awake?”
“Not long,” Ryland murmured, “Did enjoy seeing you so peaceful, though. Felt wrong to wake you.”
