    Summary

    Thomas hadn’t meant to buy engagement rings on a Thursday in New York City.

    Alternatively: The one in which Thomas Lawrence steps in front of a gun pointed at Vincent Benítez, the papal American roadtrip takes a sharp left faced with US politics, and the pining for Aldo Bellini is starting to look like divine intervention; not necessarily in that order.

    Summary

    He would do this as a child when his mum and dad fought. Pick a point on the wall. Stare hard until he felt anchored, just there, right where the damp is making the wallpaper peel. If you look long enough, it’s the house that’s falling apart and not you. For a moment you forget how you feel and how later you’ll still feel-- and how later, he’ll remember Sherlock’s gone in the middle of the night, and what is to miss him so much John could scream from it.
