Fics like a consideration of tropes

“Do you know much about cataloguing?” Jon asks, a little out of breath from the stairs. Martin, mid-trolley, rolls his eyes. The gesture he makes at the shelves around him is only emphasised by the book he’s holding. “What exactly do you think I do here, other than sit around and wait for angry patrons to yell at me?” “Think of what you’re going to yell back?” Jon says, and Martin’s mouth twitches into a smile. - Asking the very important question: what if Jon and Martin had a gentle archives/library romance, and kept running into tropes? What if there was mutual pining involved? Only one bed? Fake dating? Hurt/comfort? Or perhaps, a soft and happy ending?
