Summary
It sits nestled in the heart of the city, tucked away just five minutes’ walk from the high street, down the hill and along a lane that looks as though it was dropped out of myth into the midst of the hustle and bustle.
The Bookshop of Inuksuit.
Time seems to move differently here, in this strange shop with its whispering books and its cryptic, blue-eyed owner. This is a place of magic and mystery, a place people come to in the hopes of finding their way, and now — for better or worse — Zuko's standing on its doorstep.

Summary
There are things Neuvillette begins to understand only by their absence.
Wriothesley is not overly warm. He does not hover. He does not flatter or cajole. His affections, if that is what they are, are quiet. Deeply respectful.
So when he brings tea and does not linger, Neuvillette feels it.
When he does linger, but does not speak, Neuvillette hears it.
And when, one day, Wriothesley does not bring tea at all, only stands in the doorway with his hands in his pockets, and says, “I didn’t know what to bring today,”—
That’s when Neuvillette realizes something has changed.
The silence between them becomes something softer. Not tense. Not restrained. But careful. Like they’re both standing at the edge of something wide and unspoken.
Or, Wriothesley keeps brewing, and Neuvillette keeps breaking.
