    Summary

    “Besides, you and Andromache were bemoaning my flowery declarations of love just the other day! Nico finds them charming.”

    “Oh, I’m not arguing that.” Quynh says, “But when Nicolò says or does something similar, I would think you a young maiden meeting her betrothed for the first time.”

    He opens his mouth to respond but the thing is - Quynh is right. He and Nicolò confessed their love for each other decades ago but he’ll still look at Nico sometimes and be overwhelmed by the aching, beautiful way he loves him. And when Nicolò expresses the same to him, in that honest, straightforward way of his, Yusuf doesn’t think there’s any choice but to melt.

    Or: Joe being an absolute goner for Nicky's expressions of love throughout the years.

    Summary

    "Ah," Nicky said. He looked down at the carpet for a bit. "So our marriage isn't working because you're a lesbian."

    "Yes," Quỳnh said.

    Maybe it also wasn't working because Nicky was gay.

    Summary

    Irving Bailiff keeps having a dream that he is loved.

    He cannot explain it. It is a feeling rather than a setting. The love is new but the setting is always the same, has been the same for years. Long white corridors which twist at impossible angles into other long white corridors. The severed floor he assumes, although he has never been there.

    Summary

    “I’m honored to be an audience to the beginnings of a beautiful relationship,” Joe said. Booker bit back a sigh. Didn’t they care that this Moose guy was mortal, at all?

    Like that’s what’s bothering you so much, you asshole, he thought to himself. Nevertheless.

    Summary

    Vincent is there beside him. The sun catches in his hair, briefly turning jet black into a golden halo. Lawrence has seen this before. It takes him way too long to realize, and when he finally does, it’s already too late.

     

    *

    It's been two months since Vincent Benítez became Pope Innocent XIV and finally, Thomas Lawrence feels like he can catch a breath. That is, until he starts getting the same nightmare over and over again.
