Ooooh nuona!!! For the pair asks!!! How 'bout Lucille x Val? (If u aight with it). I've been thinking, what if they met in a library Lucille worked in? How would that work? (plus Monica Joan butting in and Making Things Happen)

Sure thing!

Lucille decided to study nursing in London, inspired by her aunt’s letters home. She was a librarian during secondary school back in Manderville and she knew she wanted to continuing working in that field part-time to finance her studies. To that end, she goes for a walk around the East End, where she’s living, to check out their libraries. She finds a cool old library that was once a convent and has been repurposed. It’s primarily a medical library, as it had been a nursing order.  

As she’s walking around, happily inspecting the collection, she bumps into an elderly woman who’s not-so-subtly pulling a cake tin out from behind a row of books. Lucille chastises her for this, as it could attract mice. The elderly lady introduces herself as Antonia and, upon confirming that Lucille has experience as a librarian, promptly escorts her to the back to a woman called Louise, and informs her that they have been sent a new librarian. Louise asks Lucille whether she actually wants a job or if Antonia is just being a bit keen. Lucille, though perplexed, readily accepts, undergoes an informal sort of interview and is told she can start tomorrow. 

In this whirlwind of acquiring her ideal new job rather faster than she thought she would, she’s not paying attention to where she’s going and walks right into a woman who’s carrying a stack of books up the stairs to the library, also spilling the tea the woman had balanced in the other hand and managing to skin her own knee rather badly. Lucille’s very flustered, apologizing multiple times, straightening out every folded page of the books and offering to replace the other woman’s tea. 

Val tries not to stare at the woman with the soft brown eyes and melodic voice, but she fails miserably. And now she’s offering to buy her another tea? Though she’d like to find a nice cafe, there’s no way she’s making this pretty, kind stranger pay for it. Val jokes that Lucille actually saved her from a pitifully weak brew. She says she really should look at Lucille’s knee though, it’s a nasty scrape she’s got. Lucille comments that she’s a nurse but Val’s caught her without any wipes of bandages on her. Val’s never been happier that she travels with a well-stocked shoulder bag, and Lucille wonders whether the tingles she’s feeling are from the alcohol wipes or this attractive stranger’s gentle touch. 

Val wimps out on asking her for her number and resolves to hang around the library more, see it this Lucille shows up again. What luck! She’s there and it turns out she’s going to be starting her studies at the same hospital as Val is. Val asks her for her number, so they can connect… for studies, of course. Lucille is only to happy to give it to her. Val could swear she skipped all the way home that afternoon. The next day, she comes back and Lucille, having anticipated this, has a tea for her. Irish breakfast with a splash of milk.   

A morning tea bought for each other on the way to the library becomes their little ritual and shortly after, so does a morning kiss in the midwifery section. 

(send me a pairing and AU and I’ll come up with 5 headcanons about it)
