What if in some universe, another identity, miss Holloway was a librarian?
As a librarian, I know a lot about people in my town - what people read tells you a lot about them. I know who's unhappy with their partner, I know who's children struggle with their mental health, I know all of the gossip of the old ladies.
Miss Holloway could spy on the citizens pretty easily- she would organise the library in a way that books about the paranormal would be just in her line of sight. If someone would come to the library for information, she would be there to help.
Jane used to come a lot, taking one or two books for herself ans some books for tim. Tom was pretty lost the first time he took Tim to the library, but after a while he started to look at some books himself.
The nerds, of course, are always there. Pete took Steph to see the library once. She took a comics and almost forgot to bring it back. Grace is... Grace. No smut in the library.
Linda is there with her blonde boys, despising every second of it. River is just trying to read and his brothers won't let him.
Becky used to come all the time, reading every romance book, but for a long time, she arrived once a year, apologising for returning the books so late and not staying fir more than two minutes. After her husband "left her", she came back to reading regularly.
Charlotte is one of the sweet religious woman that reads the most erotic shit you've seen. I see so much of them.
Bill is reading emotional and inspirational books, and lately he took some books about parenting. Sometimes he runs into Sylvia, who's reading sweet romance books.
Mr Davidson took every erotic book he could find.
Zoey tried reading les mis, got bored and never returned it.
Young ted took books about flirting.
Alice and deb go on dates in the library. I saw a straight couple do it once, it's adorable. Alice and Deb are both fandom trash, convince me otherwise.
Frank is not taking tons of books, but he trusts miss Holloway's recommendations and is almost never disappointed. He's never late. He can't afford that.
Sometimes, when the library is closed, wiley is there, switching the order of the books and turning them so you can't see the binding like a fucking monster.
Maybe she met duke while he looked for psychology books.
Hannah comes to the library every day, she's reading fantasy books in the corner and stays until closing time. Lex was worried about this, she didn't know you didn't have to pay for the library. Miss Holloway notices every lonely kid reading alone. She talks to Hannah. Maybe when Hannah is older she gets a job at the library too.
Credits to the Israeli starkid group for some of the ideas, and to my boss for casually admitting she's a witch.

I am assuming this is for the hatchetfield ask game. please let this be for the hatchetfield ask game
11)Favorite protagonist
seeing as i am one of the many hatchetfield fans who ship holloduke like there’s no tomorrow (sorry its just. their relationship man. its amazing.) Anyways, i’m gonna go with duke cause. hes just a nice guy who keeps getting involved in thinks out of his depth. poor guy.
12) Favorite antagonist
man. i’m gonna have to go with either tinky or blinky on this one. i mean it’s either a time goat dude who just loves fucking with some guy, or a multi-eyed sadistic legitimately horrifying eldritch monstrousity!! what could be better?
honestly this was hard. what can i say, the langs write good fucking bad guys.
20) Favorite non-romantic relationship
Bill + Alice’s familial relationship is one that i both adore and am horrified by. it’s also the only reason i have decided to never introduce my dad to anything hatchetfield, despite the fact he would probably enjoy it.
they remind me of me and my father to a frankly, kind of concerning degree.
This definitely adds to why Watcher World is probably the scariest nightmare time. it’s about two people who could easily be replaced with me and my dad going on a disaster theme park trip, having emotions, and nearly killing eachother. if that isn’t horrifying, i don’t know what is.
