worked a few months at the japanese section of my uni library, got to translate a bunch of summaries cause we received a lot of books from a retired teacher and i was the only one reading japanese in the department, this was super interesting. then i specialized in comics/manga in a public library, kind of my dream job tbh i loved it so much

yesss exactly!!! like allowing people to broaden their literature horizons for free (and so much more than literature actually, libraries do such important work in social equality), how cooler than that can a job be???

fics tastes are so personal because everyone has such different headcanons for those characters as they can resonate with us in a very intimate way, but i hope you'll enjoy those fics!! plz don't hesitate to give some recs if you have any, even if they're on a totally different vibes than those ones
