Summary
After his last carnal sin, confession and repentance, over thirty years ago, Cardinal Thomas Lawrence had given up that part of his life gladly. It hadn’t felt like a sacrifice anymore. God’s love had been enough.
Enough until now.
Now, in his darkest hour.
Now, when he has become a priest who can’t pray.
Now is the time when God sends him the hardest test he’s ever had to face.

Summary
"How did you drink the communion wine, then?" He could feel Lawrence's leg touch his own, ever so briefly.
He didn't notice the leg. "I didn't. They had a non-alcoholic version that was bitter, but it served its purpose."
"They made it not taste good. I can see why." Touching his papal garb, he explained. "Some would argue that the blood of Christ would have to be bitter, that it's symbolic of his suffering. But up until that point, don't you think Jesus was happy? For the time he had left?"

Пять раз, когда Винсент Бенитез ревновал Томаса Лоуренса (и один из многих, когда Томас его не ревновал) by tenok

Summary
Винсент смертельно хочет того же, но это, право слово, ерунда. В мире есть много более страшных бед. И если он недостаточно близок, или слишком свят, чтобы Томас под звуки любимой песни схватил за руку его и провернул пару раз, как девчонку на сельских танцах, то он как-нибудь это переживет.

Summary
The visions became rarer, but never left him completely. And though his collar grew stiff with responsibility and his hands folded in more prayer than longing, two truths remained constant – etched into every memory like a sacrament:
One: the visions showed the one he kissed in love.
Two: the one they loved was never him.Or: Aldo can see the future whenever he kisses someone.

Summary
Hello. I am a turtle. I live in a stony pond in the Vatican. This is my story of meeting a new friend in white. (I will later learn that his name is Benny Taz and he is probably a mate of Tom Ash.)

Summary
Aldo Bellini is intimate with gluttony and its different manifestations; in food, in relationships, in wants and desires. It accompanies him like an old friend, a dirty little secret festering in the back of his mind, plauging him and his grief following the loss of the late Pope, whom he once held so dear.
A not-so-experimental piece featuring EXTREMELY UNHEALTHY coping mechanisms, weaponisation of guilt, and good old fashioned love-hate divorcee relationship vibes.

Summary
Benítez tilts his head a fraction closer, conspiratorial. “It’s a pity our devices have been confiscated for the time that we’re sequestered here. I would’ve suggested sneaking off to exchange more music recommendations since you’ve demonstrated taste.”
“Dally any longer, and I fear that neither of us will be in anyone’s good graces,” Thomas replies as Ray sweeps past them. “But I would’ve…” He glances furtively at Benítez; for an instant, it’s the thrill of misbehaving at seminary again. “I would’ve liked that.”
“There’s a computer in the office.”
“We’d have to cross Sister Agnes.”
“Ah. Never mind that idea, then.”
Oh, the things I would’ve liked had we been young men together, Thomas thinks wistfully as they approach the dining room. I would’ve liked you.

Summary
Professor Lawrence has enough to deal with, between handling conference business and setting up voting panels for the organisation's new president. He doesn't need any scandals, and he doesn't need a new, unknown senior member cropping up out of nowhere. Nevertheless, this is what he gets.

Aldo Bellini, going through it, during the events of Conclave (with some ancient history thrown in)
This is mostly unsexy, nearly 4k words of being in love with someone you can't have, and God and everyone you hate are also there.

Summary
In the midst of the most tense conclave of the century, when forces within the Vatican struggle to impose their vision of the future of the Church, an unprecedented attack shakes the heart of Christianity. A bomb explodes in the Sistine Chapel, leaving ruins, screams, and confusion. But the most shocking thing is not the explosion, but what comes next: Tedesco and Bellini are kidnapped.
Without the cameras, without the pulpit, without the ideological pressure... only two men remain. Two voices in the darkness. Two broken souls trying to survive something greater than their dogmas: loneliness, fear, and the certainty that no one will come to their rescue.

Summary
“You are mischievous,” Thomas insists to María. “You’re just like your father.”
“You know,” Vincent comments, “I was just thinking how much you are like your Mama.”
Over the top of her head, Thomas meets his eye, and the pretty pink flush on his face speaks volumes. Vincent reaches over and cradles his face in one hand, lets his thumb stroke over that rosy heat blushing up beneath his skin, and lets himself rest into the pillows, relaxing, content.
or: five traits thomas and vincent's child inherited from them, and one that is entirely her own.

“You are not well,” Salvador returns. “You are overflowing with…” he pauses to search for the word and he finds it, “grief. You’re grieving. It has hollowed you out.”
“I have nothing to grieve for.”
“You’re lying, Thomas.”
