Charles is the somewhat shy, irresistibly adorable librarian. He even wears glasses and cardigans, hosts a weekly book club meeting, and hold a weekly story time for the kids in the community.
Erik is a local metal-worker who drops by the library one day to pick up a book he needs for instructions on how to repair something. Charles helps him find what he needs and sends him on his way. Erik is immediately smitten.
After that, he keeps finding reasons to go to the library; he even joins their book club just for the chance to see Charles. One week when Charles has a sore throat, Erik somehow volunteers himself to take over story time for that week.
And somehow, all of this leads to them ending up together. :)

Charles has always loved to read.
He remembers finding a copy of Wuthering Heights in his Mother’s room, back when he was thirteen and the world revolved around using baking soda and vinegar and figuring different ways to build exploding rockets.
Strictly speaking they weren’t meant to be Mother’s room, but she was out and Raven had agreed to be watcher. So Hank and Charles set the rocket up, and then, because they were feeling adventurous built a volcano too. Except it had gone horribly wrong and the room stank of vinegar for days after.
Charles definitely didn’t expect her copy of Wuthering Heights to get covered in the ghastly stuff

**** He does apply, filling out the form while Hank chortles in the background and it’s only because Emma knows him that he probably gets in. She’s the only one that’s nice out of all the staff. Shaw who’s the Senior Administrative Officer is a nightmare apparently; the Nazi is what they call him

****There are rules apparently for the staff. Not the normal rules, no, it’s a different set of rules stuck in the back offices out of Shaw’s sight

There’s a good a moment where Charles thinks he’ll either die or his limbs are soon going to stop functioning, because all the blood has rushed to his face and he probably looks an unattractive shade of tomato paste red.
Lehnsherr is close to shooting beams of optic blast with just a gaze directed at the kids corner, where Shaw is sternly telling the children it is story time soon, they’re going to read Dracula, ‘it will make you brave,’ he says.Dear God
