Summary
Riley Soren is starting a new life at 23.
Coming out nonbinary has made them hungry for new experiences lived as their authentic self. So when their best friend, Bri, invites them to live in San Francisco, they leave Illinois without looking back.
Riley is excited for their new life. They hope they might even find someone to love them as they are.
But can they really start over in The City, or will their old life catch up with them?
Alex is the owner of Bibliophile, a queer bookstore nestled in the Castro. Though he still believes in the mission, he lost his light when he lost his partner. His life has been a cycle of carefully caring for Bibliophile while letting himself wither away.
When Riley blows into his life, they remind him what it's like to feel.
But Riley also represents danger to Alex.
Would loving them be a betrayal?

Summary
“Do you always lure your customers into buying your shi— books like this?”
“Please elaborate on what you mean by like this,” Ivan answers calmly, a smug smile plastered on his face. “I see nothing wrong with engaging with my customers and getting acquainted with them. Better to know your clientele, hm?” He takes a step forward, entering Till’s personal space —Till would back down, but right behind him stand the shelves. Ivan curls his fingers around the book Till is holding. He brushes his fingers with his own as he does so, lingering there purposefully, before he eventually takes the volume to rest it on the shelves. A sigh escapes Till’s lips, and only then does he realize he had stopped breathing.
Yes. Infuriating, just like he said.
Or: Till meets bookseller Ivan after being dragged to the newly opened bookstore by Sua. Things go about as (un)expected as they can.

Summary
George works in a small bookshop and likes his life quiet. He’s good at his job, easy to talk to, and a little lonely in the way that’s easy to ignore — until the loneliness stops being easy.
A stranger walks in out of the rain and asks for something quiet but not boring. He comes back. Again and again. What begins as harmless routine slowly becomes something warmer, more intimate: shared books, late-night walks, evenings upstairs in George’s flat, gentle touches, and the kind of comfort George never realised he was starving for.
George tells himself it’s just nice to have someone who sees him.
He doesn’t realise how much of it stopped being accidental a long time ago.OR
A story where George and Dream fall in love.
In a special, fucked-up way. -

Summary
Crowley is in the bookshop, and trying very hard not to care.
Aziraphale is in Heaven, and trying very hard to make angels care.
Neither of them knows they are working toward the same goal.As angels and demons begin to change in unexpected ways, misunderstandings pile up, trust lands in the wrong places, and every small choice starts to matter.
Unintended teamwork, parallel choices, and how saving the world might look exactly like losing each other—right up until it doesn’t.***
Unless... from his perspective, wasn’t Crowley doing exactly what Aziraphale most likely intended?
(…)
Surely he can’t possibly think that I’m helping him carry out his plan willingly, can he? CAN HE?
