Summary
Rome, 1605: A Cardinal desperate to secure his legacy or else lose everything is introduced to a man who is reportedly the most skilled artist alive in Rome, and bemoans the fact that his fate lies in the charcoal-smudged hands of such a miserable creature. But, with tensions building within the Cardinalate, he must find a way to work with the tempestuous and anti-social painter, even as Rome threatens to crumble around them.
(This is the baroque AU I've been laboring over for months. Please see notes for more info!)

this is so genuinely, shockingly good. i was completely immersed in 17th century rome. between one seemingly humourless, uptight cardinal ucello and the disreputable and mercurial artist reno arises one of those strange, intense sympathies that catches fast and deep for no discernable reason at all.
such a perfect kylux dynamic. i was hooked from chapter one.
luxuriantly baroque in emotion, with a rich, exciting plot and top-notch writing. sadly unfinished.
