Latae Sententiae by beholdthelastparagraph

Summary
‘Do you believe it?’ M--- asks, cautious, almost incredulous. It seems a bit absurd to her, all that stuff about dying on the cross and rising from the dead and the miracles of the blood and the body.
‘I believe that what I believe does not matter all that much,’ C--- answers. ‘I believe that we are not called to understand God. We are called to serve.’
M--- leans back on her hands against the dirty concrete. She mulls that statement over, feels its shape in her mouth.
‘Yes,’ she finally says. ‘Yes, I agree with that.’

begging for mercy by sweetlikesalt for cato_universe
Fandoms: The Locked Tomb Series | Gideon the Ninth Series - Tamsyn Muir
16 Feb 2025
Tags
Summary
Finally, Alfred wheezes out, “Mercy! Mercy, please, ahaha!”
Begging for mercy is Augustine’s cue to stop. Thus satisfied with his revenge, he gradually slows to a stop. He doesn’t register the footsteps behind him, much lighter than Cristabel’s should be, until it’s too late.
“Fine, but just this once,” says the most hateful person in the universe, affecting a put-upon tone like she’s making some sort of charitable sacrifice.
That familiar irritating voice is the only warning Augustine gets before a hand lands roughly on his shoulder, and then he just about falls over as his body seizes with laughter.
—
Or: Alfred begs Mercy to save him from a tickle fight. She agrees to help, at Augustine’s great expense.

Summary
The day that it happens, Mercymorn breaks her favorite coffee mug.
It’s frankly, an absurd detail to focus on, but it sticks inside her mind for centuries, nevertheless. Her world shatters apart, and her favorite sunflower yellow mug cracks and splinters into clay shards.
The color yellow still makes her queasy, millennia later.

Mercymorn was the first to crack the theory of God’s immortality alongside Cassiopeia. Augustine, later - when it doesn’t matter anymore -, will say it was him and Cassiopeia, but Mercymorn kept the carefully dated paperwork with her. After all, it was, in all but name, Cristabel’s death certificate.

Summary
At first, Naberius almost reminded Alfred of Augustine, but that didn’t last long. Oh, he was as sharp in the tongue and perhaps even in the mind, but there were key differences. Naberius was keener, colder, snappier; there was a seedy vein to him under all that primp and polish. He had none of Augustine’s flex; where Augustine would roll with the punches, Naberius just took them. He seemed to have an almost bottomless capacity for damage. He was quietly diligent in a way that reminded Alfred of himself far more than Augustine - for all his biting commentary, he put his head down and he did the work.
Alfred couldn’t decide if Augustine would have liked him or not.

It rains for seven days and seven nights when she dies. This is the only appropriate response to the end of all meaning, and you honor it by rendering yourself hypothermic twice daily.
