Summary
She was beautiful. That fact was irrefutable. God had rolled up his sleeves and put his elbow grease into making the masterpiece that was her form. Such pulchritude had magnetized him to her like a thief drawn to white gold when he first saw her in his tiny bookstore. 💎

Summary
A slow-burn AU about two women learning how to heal, love, and choose each other after surviving the worst parts of their lives.
Carina DeLuca came to Seattle to build a life in medicine, but a devastating apartment fire changes everything. Scarred, heartbroken, and convinced she’s unlovable, she retreats into a quiet job at a bookstore and a life lived behind layers of clothing and fear.Maya Bishop is a rising lieutenant with a past she doesn’t talk about and a smile she uses to hide how lonely she really is.
When Maya walks into Carina’s bookstore two years after the fire, an unexpected spark begins to unravel the walls both women have built. What starts as awkward flirting becomes a slow, aching, beautifully messy connection between two people terrified of being seen — and even more terrified of being left.As they move through fear, trauma, laughter, desire, breaking points, and the raw honesty of falling in love for the first real time, Maya and Carina discover that healing isn’t linear…but it’s a little easier when someone chooses to walk through the dark with you. A story about scars, softness, home, and the slow courage of letting someone love you.

Then one day, Sujin slips from his sight. He finds her in the neighborhood bookstore, quietly nestled beside Euijoo - a soft-spoken, steady bookseller with a gentle presence Nicholas can’t seem to shake.
From there, everything begins to shift.

Summary
Simon doesn’t want help. He doesn’t need it. But when the Captain assigns him a book to read during his mandatory break, he isn’t about to disrespect orders. That’s how he ends up in this “cozy” bookstore, staring at the same shelf for almost an hour while a restless, starving Soap keeps reminding him how hungry he is.
Enter Bookseller Reader, who’s been watching the two men struggle and quietly laughing to herself at how determined they are not to ask for help, despite clearly needing it.
Who knows? Maybe Simon will find the book on his own… or maybe bookseller reader will have to come over and give him a little push in the right direction.

Max really regretted not taking his lunch break earlier. Or sending Lando at twelve, so it would have been his turn now. Then he wouldn’t have had to deal with seeing his childhood rival again, whom he loathed and hated like the pest, but also found really pretty and funny back in the day, or with the emotions that set free in him.
Or with the fact that Charles didn’t even seem to know who he was anymore…

Summary
Elphaba handed Galinda Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. A personal favorite of hers. It was a tale of many things, but at the heart of it was loneliness and longing. Elphaba wasn’t exactly sure why, but she felt as if this woman might need a story like that right now.
“Um… right. Thanks” Galinda said, as softly as she’s spoken today, and it was almost adorable.
Elphaba had to leave, she was so tired and delirious that she was thinking ridiculous thoughts.
Or; Elphaba works at a bookstore, Galinda becomes a repeat customer, gay shit ensues.
