Summary
Aldo is looking down at him, his eyes both kind and sad.
“Acceptasne electionem de te canonice factam in Summum Pontificem?” he asks.
What can Thomas reply? He closes his eyes and pretends he doesn’t feel the moisture gathering there. “Accepto,” he says, his voice raspy and not steady enough. He has to push the words through; it hurts. Forgive me, he thinks. Forgive me, he prays.
“Quo nomine vis vocari?”
His eyes overflow; a tear, two, five flow down. He bites his cheek and wills them to stop. “Ioannes.”
A heavy hand lands on his shoulder, shakes him and steadies him in the same choked breath. “A good name, Tommaso. A good name.” Tedesco’s voice is gruff, hoarse from the decades of smoking and vaping. And almost a month of grief, too.
None of this should be happening.
Innocent’s, Vincent’s papacy was everything Thomas had prayed for and more. In ten years, he changed so many things, and he had planned to change so many more for the next decade.
He never had the chance.
A tale of two papacies, and one love story.

I have no words. This is one of, if not THE most beautiful story I have ever read. I’ve cried so much, omg, this is so sad yet astonishingly beautiful. This is canon in my heart.

Summary
During his first summer in Rome, Vincent Benítez works himself to the brink of exhaustion trying to fill his new role as Pope. Only reluctantly, he agrees to spend ten days at the papal summer residence in Castel Gandolfo. There are two problems, however: Vincent is terrible at being alone, and he's terrible at having nothing to do. Luckily, Thomas is in dire need of a holiday, too, and more than willing to keep him company.
Or: The summer get-away fic in which Vincent teaches Thomas to speak Dari and opens his heart to him along the way.

Today, Cardinal Lawrence is back for his checkup. He looks better than he has in years, and I tell him so; I think I can see the slightest blush on his cheeks.
