second chapters - chapter 3

when mickey’s PO assigns him a job at the local library, he’s pleasantly surprised—not that he’d ever admit it. practically lived in the prison library, and what better way to start his new life than with a career he might actually enjoy. and when he meets the charming, clever, utterly fuckable, redheaded children’s librarian, well, shit just keeps getting better and better. mickey’s definitely not interested in anything serious right now, but what’s the harm in a little fun?  fuck, this job’s gonna be even better than he thought.

chapter: 3 / 17(?) rating: e (eventually) chapter word count: 6.7k total word count: 15.1k

it's sharing goblin thoughts with squid time, because i'm incapable of keeping things to myself.

-to everyone else reading, fair warning, second chapters spoilers ahead.-

anyWAY-

that display war, right? so. you made me think. how mickey is small. and has black hair. like a raven. so what you did was basically awaken some deeply buried memories about a specific german children's story. so you gotta suffer them now.

this-

-is the little raven socke. yes. like the sock he's wearing. he's small. he's a raven. he's also a little know it all and always up to mischief. i won't ever be able to get that association out of my head and i'll pretend he was part of ian's display until the day i die, thanksokaybye.

tumblr (derogatory)! why am i just seeing this now?!?! shame on you.

but zero shame on nosho because this is EXCELLENT! look at this little dude! and his little sock and his books! cozied up in his little pillow pile. 🥺 we will definitely pretend this was on the shelf. no, not pretend. it was there. totally there. I saw it.

i wonder if this mischievous raven lives in our library. my kids might need to make a new friend…
