The Bookkeeper (Masterlist)
pairings: logicality, prinxiety word count: 37.4k general warnings: implied major character death(s) (that occur outside of the present story, though they are technically “alive” in the story – it’s magical), mentions of minor character deaths (i.e. parents, grandparents), existential crises, mild swearing, mild NSFW content, brief mention of past homophobia *see beginning of each chapter for specific warnings
summary:
“fray and far fables” has always been considered by its patrons as ‘magical’; the books always seemed more vivid, their spines seemed to breathe — every story seemed like it could be real, through and through. logan fray wishes this was not the case.
buried in his research, logan finds himself caring less and less about his magical inheritance, and more interested in unraveling a single question: what is the meaning of art in a meaningless life?
however, this is not helped by the store’s familiar and magical bookkeeper, roman, who—with the help of the store’s dedicated customer, patton morgan—is determined to convince logan that there is beauty in art and, hence, life: by opening one book nook at a time.
