Summary
John Smith has agreed to look after The Bookshop For Children of All Ages . He also repairs the broken toys his young patrons bring him. Some of the children claim that their toys come alive for a few minutes before they become still once more. It's a nice distraction from his strange dreams. When he finds himself falling in love with Rose Tyler, a shopgirl from Henrik's on the high street, his life has become more exciting than he'd expected – or wanted. And that's only the beginning.
Winner of the May 2019 Golden Banana for Excellence in Nine Fiction.

Summary
The writers and directors of the MCU can't seem to agree whether Steve went back to an alternative timeline or the primary one. Most fics seem to go with the idea that he went to an alternative one. But if he was always in the primary MCU timeline, wasn't he always Sharon's uncle? Where does that leave her to explain her actions and Steve's? Was he always there, in the background, watching, even directing the action so the Avengers could beat Thanos? What role did Sharon play, for surely she must have known? This fic tells that story. WARNING for some material that might be upsetting to some.

Bookmarker's Notes
