    Summary

    “Always think,” Rocky shifted his ball closer, bumping into Grace’s shoulder. Grace bumped it back, lips quirking up. “Think, think, think. Human brain never shut off. What Grace think about, question?”

    Grace went quiet for a moment and looked away. “Uh, my… ‘mate.’ Back on Earth. I remember I had one.”

    A series of happy little squeaks and chirps erupted from Rocky, his claws waving in frantic little jazz hands. He must have been excited to realize Grace had someone waiting for him back at home. Grace still didn't have the heart to tell him the truth, and likely never would. He shakes the thought away and focuses, eyes half-lidded and flickering back toward Rocky. The display pulled a genuine smile from Grace, though he wasn’t sure there was anything happy about the man back on Earth who grabbed him like a dog.
    ________________

    Alternatively, Grace has a flashback and subsequent revelations about himself and the person he was dating back on Earth. It affects him more than he thought it would.

    Summary

    “I could take your confession.” Benoit offered, a wicked little smile dancing around his lips. Jud looked at him, trying to feel out if he was joking or being dead serious. An endeavour that always felt like dancing on the knives edge with the dangerously charismatic man. “Sure. Let’s do it, right now.”

    Summary

    1973, a year on the cusp of what some would call the "golden age of serial murder". Daniel Molloy, a young reporter with a bright future stretching ahead of him, finds himself in the home of one of the men responsible for the panic that was just beginning to take root across the nation.

    A Hannibal-inspired fic where Louis forgoes the interview entirely, and decides that the 129th boy brought back to Divisadero deserves a different ending.

    Summary

    +33 689 480 496: I still love you. I never stopped.

    Daniel Molloy: I can't imagine a worse occasion to have to ask this, but who is this?

    Of all the people on earth that Daniel would ever guess to be on the other side of a text like that? Alice is at the bottom of the list. She walked out on them, leaving a little girl alone with her junkie dad who didn't know how to cope without the love of his life. Why would it be her? That'd be insane.

    (But of course, Armand knows he is insane. He has always been insane with the extremes to which he will go for the ones he loves. Daniel simply cannot recall that detail or so many others about their relationship. At least, not at the moment.)

    Summary

    “You’re not tired.” Armand’s voice is terse. His grip on the Lincoln’s steering wheel is tight enough to squeak the leather covering the plastic wheel below. “We need to talk.”
    A hysterical little laugh bubbles in Daniel’s throat. “About what?” What is there left to talk about? Haven’t they had this same fucking argument every week for months now? Will they just keep kicking this same dead horse, hoping for a different outcome this time?

    It's been almost twelve years since Daniel met Armand in San Francisco, over ten years since they got married, and not yet two years since their family started to shatter to pieces. There soon may be nothing of their love left to salvage.

    Summary

    It wasn't fascinating, the way the boy didn't know whether to lean into the touch or away from it, confused by the comfort and the pain it offered in equal measures. It wasn't. Armand could do the same thing — did do the same thing, whenever Louis deigned to touch him at all — and Louis still thought he was boring. It couldn't be this that had captivated him.

    But that didn't mean it wasn't fun.

    Summary

    “And you are–,” Armand pauses, as though searching for words. Finally settles on… “Safe.”

    The implications in that one word. Daniel’s near certain the kid doesn’t mean safe as in a safe bet, a sure thing. He means that he feels safe. And the fact that the kid is finding safety here of all places– in an old journalist’s arms, in his own professor’s bed, without any defined relationship. Is he speaking about emotional safety? Or is he speaking about physical safety?

    Daniel’s afraid it’s the latter.

    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.

    Summary

    Goffredo Tedesco doesn't do graduate students, Americans, or flings with tourists. Aldo Bellini swore he wouldn't fall in love over a semester abroad. After a night out in Rome, suddenly everything is different.

    Maybe one summer of shared cigarettes would be enough. Maybe it would have to be.

    Summary

    Rather than decisively ending the conclave, Vincent's speech simply splits the vote further. With tensions rising between factions with every ballot cast, Vincent and Thomas realise they must begin to navigate being the last two candidates standing for a papacy that each wants the other to have.

    "We have been sequestered for fifteen days, Thomas," Aldo says, still facing away. "Fifteen days, and the vote is still even between you and Cardinal Benítez. The world will be envisioning a scandal by now."

    Mine, Vincent remembers thinking, clear as a bell, through the haze of the exhaustion of a full day’s travel and the incoming wave of stress from knowing he’d just changed his life forever. I might never be back here again, but this one is mine, and I’m not letting go.

    Summary

    Brother Thomas Lawrence has resigned from his position as Dean of the College of Cardinals, seeking out a quiet life in a Franciscan order to reconnect with God. But his time there is marked with nightmares and horrific visions of the Holy Father (the man he left behind, the man who still haunts his waking moments and permeates his thoughts) - and he finds himself inexorably drawn back to the Vatican.

    Vincent has been calling out for him.

    Summary

    Thomas Lawrence has a nasty habit of never mentioning anything as it pertains to his life. He doesn't mention birthdays, familial situations, or even if he is actively bleeding out.

    But when his teenage niece comes to visit for the summer, she finds it incredibly easy to inspire havoc in the Curia, bring out a wild side to her straight laced uncle, and pushes together a relationship with her bare hands. This is all incredibly natural- it's the Lawrence way, after all.

    Summary

    Cardinal Lawrence has always been able to work miracles, and it is his greatest secret.

    When the bomb explodes, a metal shutter on the high clerestory windows - put there for their protection, but really to maintain their secrecy - is shunted from its mooring and flies across the Sistine Chapel. It strikes Cardinal Benítez directly.

    There is no choice, really. Thomas saves his life. And, in doing so, reveals his miracles to every cardinal of the assembled conclave. Unsurprisingly, this changes the outcome of the final vote.

    +++

    “Do you accept your canonical election as Supreme Pontificate?” Aldo asks him. He seems apologetic about it, at least.

    Thomas takes only a moment to make sure that his words won’t break and his voice won’t tremble. “Accepto.”

    He always feared this day would come.
