    Summary

    “Pardon me, handsome fella?”

    Trent’s eyebrow was already on its way up his forehead to silence whoever came up to him like that when he turned around. His eyebrow sunk, and instead, the corners of his mouth automatically curved upwards against his control.

    There, dripping raindrops from the tips of his nose and hair, Ted Lasso, the most infuriatingly handsome and devastatingly flirty patron Trent has ever had the luck to encounter in his library, grinned at him over a shoulder-high display shelf.

    “Hello, stranger,” Trent greeted him back, and aligned a few books in front of him.

    Summary

    James Potter & Remus Lupin POVs
    Jegulus/Wolfstar/Marlily/Dorlene
    Dreamt of this scene, promptly fell in love with the story.
    Initially Completed: 9-23-2022
    Edited for clarity: 2024
    Bonus Chapter Added & Secret Edits: 2-12-2025

    Excerpt:
    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.

    Summary

    “It’ll be fun, Jon!” Sasha insisted, holding out the tinsel covered envelope to him. He glared at it though he knew there was no way to get out of the predicament he was finding himself in.

    A library-wide secret santa.

    Sighing, Jon took the envelope from Sasha who gave him a small wink before leaving the nonfiction section in search of her next victim; the stack in her hand had looked to be down to the last few, likely meaning she had saved Jon for the end so he couldn’t put up as much of a fight. He opened the envelope, pulling out the piece of paper inside and trying to stop his heart from dropping at the sight of it.

    You’re the secret santa for: Martin

    Summary

    Work study at the library is a pretty sweet deal. Shouto applied for this job so he could have basically a paid study hour in a quiet place. Hanta loves chatting up patrons about what they're reading. During slow periods at the circulation desk, there's not much to do besides homework or getting to know each other. Friendship is pretty sweet, too.

    That is, until a patron checking out books hits on Shouto and gets an unexpected reaction.

    Summary

    Regulus groaned, as quietly as humanly possible. “I told you not to bring him here!”

    “Who? Harry?” Sirius asked, mischief in his tone. “He’s a good kid, you know.”

    “No, not Harry—you know who.”

    “Not sure I do, dear brother. Care to refresh my memory?”

    Regulus was frustrated now. “You—Potter.”

    “Oh, James is harmless, Reggie. I don’t recall him ever being an issue here.” Sirius pretended to examine the books on the nearest shelf. “In fact, I thought you were quite fond of him.”

    “I told you to keep him away from the library when I’m working.” Regulus glared at his brother, shoving a book back onto the shelf in front of him a bit too aggressively.

    Or, Regulus Black is a librarian and James Potter keeps bringing his son, Harry, to the library for a variety of reasons that are actually just excuses to see Regulus again (and again and again).

    Kaoru loved that quote. The one about the thousand lives a reader experiences.

    But when he met Kojiro, who lived so fiercely and backed down from no challenge, well.

    He began to wonder.

    What world was waiting for him outside those pages?

    -------------

    AKA Kaoru works at a library and the annoyingly hot buff dude who always comes in with his adopted kids won't stop hitting on him. Oh, what a real travesty.
