Summary
Solitude - the state of being alone, without feeling lonely, while being content with the situation.
Solitude was something that Namjoon chose to live in to gain freedom. It enables him to live peacefully in his little cottage in the woods near a small town, where he runs the local library. Driving his bike everyday, reading as much books as he can and caring for his plants and little garden, was everything Namjoon ever wanted. Hoseok his best friend, was the only one being tolerated to disturb his routine, until one lucky day Yoongi, an introverted cat hybrid gets pushed in his life. Yoongi choses, like Namjoon, to avoid as much social interaction as he can. Living happily in his cat form. A match made in heaven, as Hoseok had said. But there is a lot to figure out. Decisions are about to be made and Namjoon isn't sure, if he is ready for commitment.

A did another twitter random prompt generator and got "library au", so here it is
A modern college au songxiao, featuring beautiful libraries, random doses of Chinese history, stargazing, and an obsessive research hunt to learn the background of a set of ancient swords. Thanks for reading and hope you enjoy!
“I received these two swords recently, over winter break. The old man who gave them to me didn’t say much, just appeared one night and said he was the administrator for someone’s estate and I had received these swords as part of their will. Wouldn’t even tell me who it was or why it was left to me.”
“What do they look like?”
Song Zichen pulled his phone out and swiped through it before placing it down on the table. It was a photo of two swords next to each other, one black inlaid with bronze and gold details, the other snowy white and covered in silver frost-like patterns. Beautiful and ancient, a matched pair.

Library Love Notes | Nanami Kento by midnightodawn

Summary
Nanami Kento never believed in fate, nor did he waste time on frivolous notions like romance. But when he starts finding love notes tucked inside his borrowed books at the local library, something stirs inside him. The notes are thoughtful, poetic, and oddly personal—crafted by someone who seems to understand the weight he carries.
At first, he dismisses them as a stranger’s forgotten messages, but as he continues to stumble upon more, he realizes they’re meant for him. The meticulous handwriting, the way each note perfectly relates to his current reading material—it’s too intentional to be a coincidence.
His curiosity gets the better of him. Who could be leaving them? A secret admirer? A ghost of the past? As he subtly investigates, he finds himself drawn to the quiet, observant librarian who always seems to know which books he’ll pick next.

”Can you do that again?” Hyuna raised an eyebrow,
“Do what again?” Luka went silent, as if he was doubting himself, not knowing if to ask or not.
“Touch me?”
Now Hyuna just sighs exasperatedly. “I was moving your hand to where it needs to go.” She lightly smacked his head for that.
Luka puffed his cheeks, he was also definitely pouting.

Summary
“Oh, gosh, I -- I’m so sorry, here let me -- sorry, let me help you with that,” Martin stammers, bending down to help the stranger he’d just plowed into pick up his large stack of books. He can’t believe it, was he really so lost in thought about how pretty the cover of this copy of Pride and Prejudice was that he’d rounded the corner and smashed into a random guy?
“Oh, it’s quite alright. Thank you,” the random guy responds, straightening up and shifting the stack of books in his arms. He’s got a sort of “tired, grubby professor look,” that Martin secretly thinks is kind of hot. At least, he does until Mr. Professor glances at the book in Martin’s hands and sneers. “Pride and Prejudice? Really?”

Summary
The second he’d laid eyes on the tall, broad-shouldered, light blonde auburn-haired guy sitting with a study group in the library he wanted to climb the man like a tree. What didn’t help was when he moved his arm, he exposed what Charlie thought had to be the thickest sexiest arms he’d ever seen in his life. He knew he was staring and possibly drooling a little but he could not help it.
This man was the most beautiful person Charlie had ever seen in his life and he’d seen and met Henry Maddox at a book signing once.
He was also probably like Charlie’s usual type, either unattainable or straight. Knowing Charlie’s luck this guy was both of those things and he’d spend the rest of his life thinking about the guy whose name he’d never known that he only saw once in his uni’s library. But Charlie really, really didn’t want that. He wanted to talk to him, he wanted to know the name of who Charlie considered was now probably his soulmate.

A soft tapping caught Remus’s attention. He glanced up, a smile lighting his lips at the sight of bright green eyes on a curly haired toddler. Harry was three...and a half, if he was asked. He and his father were regulars on Wednesdays, traipsing into the library for the Children’s Story Time every week, without fail. Immediately, Remus was charmed by the pair.“Hello, Harry,” Remus greeted him, reaching for the stickers on the desk. He rifled through the stack for one with a train. Harry liked those best. Finding one, he offered it to the tot. “Are you and your Da-“
“Paddy!” Harry exclaimed, patting the leather jacket on the man holding him.
Suddenly, Remus spotted the rings on the hand wrapped around Harry’s middle. After that mental cartwheel, Remus’s gaze took a long, leisurely journey up the man’s body. Ffyc.
