Rewind Prompt: Books (His Favorite Things)
Notes: Been working on this since the prompt was first posted, but I was always a little over. Finally got it down to 100 words. Cross-posted on my own page and here on Ao3
Ethan stopped teasing him about poking around bookshops after he’d brought home that old spell book. And if anyone asked, the poetry was to impress girls. But, in reality, he could no more abandon his books than he could stop breathing. The musty smell as he walked through the bookshop door, the triumph of a successful hunt, the joy in an unexpected treasure, the comfort of a paperback in his back pocket, they were all a part of him.
Ripper had left behind everything that had to do with Rupert Giles, but he took his love of books with him.
