The Living Library (TWST Fanmade Location)

The Living Library (TWST fanmade location)

The Living Library, a massive collection of books, scrolls, magazines, and even music or movie disks located in Nightbloom City. Built in a massive circular structure around Twining Fates, its collection is continuously growing due to the librarians that work in it and donations from Nightbloom residents– though no matter how many texts it collects, it never seems to run out of space. It's rumored that it's tradition for new librarians and library assistants, student or otherwise, to obtain a copy of their favorite book and offer it to the Living Library, though no current or former librarian will confirm or deny it.

The library's outer structure may be a ring, but the inner structure changes routinely. There's a reason it's called the Living Library, and that reason is that it's, well, alive. The library has its own awareness and consciousness, and it often re-arranges its own structure. The whole thing is rather maze-like, and very little remains consistent. The only things that stay completely fixed are the location of its two main entrances, and the separation of the library into two distinct rings. The outer ring is completely accessible to the public– though due to the aforementioned maze-like tendencies, children aren't allowed inside unattended, as it's far too easy to get lost. The inner ring, however, is only accessible to students and staff of Twined Fates Academy.

Typically, this is because the inner ring houses older and more valuable texts– but it's also filled with more statue guardians, and it's even easier to get lost among the shelves. For this reason, first-year students aren't allowed in the inner ring without a librarian or library assistant.

While most things in the library change constantly, there are some consistencies.

-The children's section is always located in the outer ring. Where in the ring changes, but it's always in the outer ring

-More fragile, rarer texts remain mostly contained to the inner ring

-There are two sections for textbooks, one in the outer ring and one in the inner ring, and they're connected by a doorway

-The librarian's desk is usually near the main entrance

-The library groups things by genre, though where each section is moves around

The library has various statues scattered throughout its shelves, which it's capable of seeing through. The statue guardians are animated, and while they lie at rest most of the time, they come to life to defend against intruders or other threats. This doesn't happen often, luckily, and the more likely scenario to see one wandering around is because someone is lost.

Nearly everyone in Nightbloom City has a library card to check out books with, and students of Twining Fates have additional Keys that allow them access to the inner ring. A Librarian, Student Librarian, or Library Assistant have special keys that allow for access to certain locked rooms within the library itself.

"You didn't like the birthday present I gave you." Rimbaud smiled apologetically. "So I'm giving you this instead, as a replacement. Happy Birthday, Paul. I'm glad you were born— and I'm glad I got to meet you."

"You Didn't Like The Birthday Present I Gave You." Rimbaud Smiled Apologetically. "So I'm Giving You

"I'm sorry Rimbaud," he said in almost a whisper as he clenched his jaw. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry I couldn't treat you like the friend you were. I'm sorry I couldn't thank you for the present you gave me on my birthday. And now that you're no longer here... Now I'm just so terribly sad."

If I see one more goddamn person using aromantic or aroace people as a shield against their homophobia I'm going to lose it. It's all "people are reducing platonic relationships!!!!" but only when it's a queer ship. When there's an actual aromantic nearby? Silence. Crickets. Fuck you

"You have to become comfortable with the fact that most people who enjoy your fic will never bother to kudos or comment on it."

Shockingly, I am comfortable with this fact. Lack of kudos or comments doesn't bother me.

That doesn't mean it shouldn't change.

If you enjoy a fic, leave a kudos or a comment.
