25 Of the Most Magnificent Libraries Around the World - Right from the Pages of a Fairytale
There is an essence of timelessness when it comes to libraries and books. Even with the modern marvels of human technology, e-books, audio books, libraries have still preserved the atmosphere of exercising and feeding the human mind with rich text and pages of storytelling. These great feats of architecture we have featured below are the integration of great design and the age old love of ancient yellow pages that have the history of the world etched in them.
The priceless treasure trove of great minds, dreamers and scholars are documented in these buildings which have been designed and built with great care in order to make them stand forever as a monument over these articles of importance like no other.
The libraries below have become an enduring tribute to impeccable design; the best dĂŠcor and space construction, and art are ingrained into the floors and ceilings and wood panelling. Some of these studies have been built to attract not only readers eager to ponder over pages of food for thought, but to keep the spirit of young minds eager to see the enchanting presence of a library no digital book can recreate.
When that unique smell of worn out books, dust mingled with sunny afternoons wafts through the stone cracks of these majestic structures, people once again are transported back to the classic charm of an intimate moment spent with a satisfying story in the solitude of a hall crammed with books to the ceiling.

Either I look like dog shit reheated or the mf princess of hottness. There is no in between.
Me, every day.
Daughters of the horse-leech, thy tempest out-thunders me.
source: Israel Zangwill, Without Prejudice, 1899. This description, at the time meant to be as absurd a set of charges and demands as could be placed in a straw womanâs mouth, today reads like a beautiful manifesto.
I adore this.
I fell down the YURI!!! ON ICE rabbit hole because of @robotsquidâ and I want to drag you all down with me in turn. Plus, there is some really cute and sweet and heart-warming and life-affirming fic that is a joy to read! And occasionally porn, too. ⼠ But mostly Iâm going for fics that are sweet and light and LIKE YOUR SOUL IS WEARING A WARM AND FUZZY SWEATER. YURI!!! ON ICE FIC RECS: ⌠A Safe Place To Fall by uchiuchi, victuuri, 8k
âCan IâŚ?â Viktorâs voice breaks Yuuri out of his trance and he focuses on Viktor, waiting for the words to come out. But Viktor doesnât say anything more, eyes flickering between Yuuriâs eyes and mouth, and then his finger stops moving and he pulls it back. He looks like he has more he wants to say, but doesnât.
âŚÂ Patinage by silvermyth, victuuri & yurio & yuuko, 3.6k
âYuuriâŚâ Victor knelt in front of him, and Yuuri hissed in pain when Victor pulled one battered foot into his lap. âHow long have you been a skater, hm?â It was chiding, but Victorâs hands were gentle as he inspected tender blisters and welts. âHow are you supposed to skate your best when your feet are in such a poor state?â
âŚÂ pardon the way that i stare by kevystel, victuuri, 3.1k
All Yakov says, after Yuuriâs free skate at the Cup of China, is: âReally?â (The problem is that Viktor falls hard.)
âŚÂ Details by RobotSquid, victuuri, NSFW, 3.2k
Victor is a very detail-oriented person. He always notices the little things about Yuuri.
âŚÂ i took no time with the fall by lazulisong, victuuri, 2.1k
Itâs really nice, knowing Victor like this, as a real living person who hates chocolate and sleeps with his dog in his arms like a teddy bear. That heâs obsessed with the perfect selfie and remembers that Yuri doesnât like carrots. All of those things about Victor, that Yuri gets to find out every day, over and over again.
âŚÂ From Russia with Love by Caeseria, victuuri, NSFW, 4.3k
Thereâs not a chance in hell theyâre going to make it back to the hotel before Victor succumbs to desire, not with Yuuri looking at him like that, hunger in his eyes.
âŚÂ My Name is Your Name by terunakamura, victuuri & yurio & yakov, 1.4k
Yuuri wants to try to learn the Cyrillic alphabet before they go to Russia for the Grand Prix Final. He does his best.
âŚÂ Praise Please by surveycorpsjean, victuuri, NSFW, 5.2k
Viktor is a good coach. Strict, talented. But Viktor is kind. He gives praise like a waterfall, overflowing and loud and it makes Yuuri drown.
âŚÂ Skate Like a Lover, Dream with Desire by Caeseria, victuuri, NSFW, 6k
Victor explains the theory behind Eros, and Yuuri is more than willing to listen.
âŚÂ In This Bed by elliemoran, victuuri, 1.1k
Victor is faced with a dilemma. What exactly do you do when the person you keep asking to share your bed falls asleep in it?
âŚÂ First, Second, Third by clandestine7, victuuri, 1.7k
Yuri counts their kisses until he loses track.
âŚÂ Those Tell-all Skype Sessions by Piyo13, victuuri & phichit, 1.7k
Phichit isnât surprised at all when Victor leaps into Yuuriâs arms and gives him a kiss in front of the whole world. Heâs just surprised it took this long.
âŚÂ Weâll Make It Happen by lunarorbits, victuuri, NSFW, 3.4k
âYuri.â Victorâs voice is calm like pond water, but thereâs something vaguely frantic in the way his eyes study the smooth black planes of his body. Yuri itches under the gaze, under the suit, under his skin. âIt seems like thereâs more to your eros that we can explore.â
âŚÂ An Eternity With You by bumble_bae, victuuri, ~1k
When Yuuri forgets to close his blinds the night before, itâs always the sun that wakes Victor. (Victor and Yuuri wake up slow together. Fluff ensues.)
âŚÂ iâve been up nights making you my god by kevystel, victuuri, 2.9k
Viktor Nikiforov is very much in love and doesnât know how to deal with it.

+++
that thing you like by misspamela, 7 k, explicit. This boasts a slightly-stilted, home for the holidays, I-didnât-know-you-felt-that-way-about-me shag when Sherlock brings John to the Holmes family estate for Christmas. Thumbs up for rocking sex!

Maybe This Christmas by feverishsea, 6 k, teen. Cute little slightly angsty short about Anthea as matchmaker one holiday season. Somehow she sets up both John and Sherlock, and Mycroft and Lestrade. Nice little peek at the Holmesâ estate too.
The Baker Street Nativity by swissmiss, 99 k, explicit. Adorable AU crossover with the movie âNativityâ starring Martin Freeman. Sherlock is a teacher at Baker Street school, and John is assigned as his assistant to help put on the annual Nativity play. Â Of course a romance brews between them as they work on the play. Story has slow build, angst, fluff, and a bit of smut all done with excellent writing. Thumbs up! Fun Christmas read.

Their Great Reward by BeautifulFiction, 10 k, teen. Sweet little short. After Christmas, Sherlock and John both escape their family gatherings early, and meet back up at 221B for a power outage in the snow, and whisky by the fire to stay warm. Pre-relationship to kisses.

Pre-relationship to relationship, first kiss, and first shag â super cute and sweet. Aaaah, the fluff.
Oâ Christmas Tree by grey853, 6 k, teen. John Watson doesnât just want a Christmas tree for the flat this year, he actually wants a lot more. Mrs. Hudson does some matchmaking. She sets John up with a certain hunky Christmas Tree salesman with a degree in horticulture, but thatâs not the relationship sheâs actually hoping to encourage.
The Adventure of the Crossed Streams by mydwynter , 23 K, explicit Victorian Johnlock. A wonderful Christmas-time mash-up of several versions of Sherlock Holmes, and a retelling of two ACD canon case fics. Friends to lovers amidst stops and starts. Delicious, and so well written in Victorian period expression and tone.
No Mistletoe Required by BeautifulFiction, 2 k, teen. An ADORABLE little short about decorating the flat, a quick case, and a kiss to end the day.
Iâm Not His Date by objetpetita, 7 k, teen. AU. Â John is YA writer roped into spending Christas in America as Harryâs having a giant Christmas Eve wedding in Boston. For some reason, a strange Bloke named Holmes wonât leave John alone. SO CUTE!

Oh boy do I
The Inevitability of Time by dhampir72
9 chapters, 27k, literally made me cry actual tears twice. Itâs a soulmate/identifying marks fic and I usually donât go for those but this one is just perfect and honestly I donât think Iâll ever recover. Beautifully written.
Chiefly Responsible for Discipline by rsadelle
1 chapter, 6k, hot as hell and full of sin. Did you know a quartermasterâs traditional role involved dealing with discipline? Now you do.
the body electric by 8611
Series, 2 works, 14k, cyborg AU. Wonderful writing and lots of cool cyborg goodness.
Normal by hyphyp
1 chapter, 5k, high demand!Q. Equal parts adorable and hilarious. Q has a lot of interesting ex-partners, but of course he only wants James â though this doesnât stop James from being wonderfully jealous.
Smoke and Chains by Magnetism_bind
25 chapters, 34k, Q before he was Q. Might not be for everyone so make sure to read the warnings, but basically Q is working for the bad guys and heâs tasked with dealing with James. Lots of sin.
not one will know of the war by 8611
1 chapter, 2k, AI!Q. Really beautifully written but definitely not a happy fic. Lovely imagery and an interesting idea but no happy ending.
The Tragedy of Time by lunicole
1 chapter, 4k, really angsty. Like, no spoilers but this is not a happy fic. At all. Wonderfully written, established relationship, but also not a happy ending and will probably make you cry like it did me.
Playing the Part by corvusTempus
8 chapters, 23k, badass!Q goes on the field with James and itâs funny and exasperating and everything you would expect from having to go anywhere with James Bond. Also they have to pretend to be dating.
Scars, Cords by quigonejinn
1 chapter, 1k, dom!Q struggling to work out just how this works. Hot, kind of funny, some good old fashioned sinning.
an oral history by 8611
1 chapter, 10k, (non-zombie) apocalypse AU. Q is a badass but doesnât work for MI6, the world ends and he runs into James and Eve on their way up to Skyfall. Itâs really cute, kind of gothic, and James is prickly.

Iâll probably remember a whole load more but I think this will keep you busy for now!
