    Summary

    Shane Hollander comes to the library because it is quiet, because nobody asks him for anything there, and because there he can be a man choosing a book instead of the story everyone thinks they already know.

    Ilya Rozanov has always been better at noticing things than asking questions.

    The books Shane touches.
    The ones he brings back.
    The hour he comes in.
    The way he says thank you like he is apologizing for needing anything at all.

    At first, they only talk about books.
    It is easier that way.

    Until it isn’t.

    Or: a slow burn librarian AU.
