    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.

    Unknown Number: I still love you. I never stopped

    [Sent] I cannot IMAGINE a worse time to have to ask this, but, uh. who is this?

    Or: Back in Kansas, Ted gets a surprising message.

    Or: Trent cannot believe he is has somehow tangled himself up in a rom-com scenario with a straight man who will never love him, but never let it be said his heart isn't true and also stupid.

    Or: The author turns one of those joke text message exchanges you see floating around into an actually serious and sad fic. Look at him go!

    Summary

    “You have a visitor,” Mrs Hudson added irritably, as John trailed after Holmes and Billy, “Oh, not you, Doctor,” she added, as John paused on habit. “But tell Mister Holmes that I’ll not abide the police banging up and down the house at all hours. What will the neighbours think? I’ll not get any other lodgers!”

    This, John reflected, as he retreated from Mrs Hudson’s womanly wrath, was precisely why his landlady’s role was restricted to a ‘plot device’ in his short stories. The Strand’s readers had turned out to have a surprisingly prodigious appetite for his case notes - or, as Holmes tended to call them, his ‘over-romanticised recollections’, but John rather doubted that his readers would have stood for pages upon pages depicting Mrs Hudson’s passionate tirades about the Right and Proper Way To Behave as a Gentleman Lodger. She could write a book. Holmes would still break all the rules.
