Summary
Brother Aldo Bellini, a herbalist monk, falls asleep to the scent of mint – and wakes up in a dungeon where Inquisitor Goffredo Tedesco judges him for hiding “the wrong people”. Only Giulio’s rough voice and a warm cup of chamomile tea can pull him back to reality, back to the safety of their little cell.

Summary
Thomas Lawrence notices strange things: Vincent hides his hands in gloves, doesn't eat or drink, and his shadow behaves oddly. The cardinal begins to suspect the terrible truth — the new Pope is not entirely human. Exposure could shatter the Vatican. But Thomas doesn't report him. Instead, he takes off his silver cross.

Summary
Vincent Benitez, an omega, runs the White Jasmine flower shop with his grumpy assistant (and fellow omega), Giulio Sabbadin. When Thomas Lawrence, a shy beta, starts visiting the shop a little too often — and staring a little too long at the owner — Giulio decides to "help". But his idea of help involves yellow roses, a plant of indifference, and a test that Vincent may have to fix before it's too late.

Summary
Early spring in Northern Italy is damp and cold. Abbot Lorenzo doesn’t like this time of year — it gets into his old bones.
One evening, a stranger arrives at the abbey gate. Vincenzo Benitez, a Mozarab traveler, is calm and smiling. He is also barefoot. His feet are dusty, scratched, and slightly blue from the cold. When the abbot expresses his horror, Benitez explains that he grew used to warm sand and stones in hot countries. He simply forgot that not everywhere is always warm.
Lorenzo cannot let this pass. He finds an old pair of shoes, insists that the traveler wear them, and invites him to share a humble meal. There is no grand speech, no deep theological discussion — only soup, bread, a crackling fire, and one stubborn abbot determined to warm a stranger’s feet.
A short, cozy vignette about small kindnesses and the quiet beginning of spring.

Summary
These all started as "moments." Some grew into longer sequences. Others remain stand alone. I've decided to post them all as a single work. If a chapter requires warnings, I'll mention that in the chapter note.

Summary
“Oh, Vincent,” Bellini laughs with genuine mirth, if not warmth. “The curia may be a wasp’s nest, but we aren’t a pack of lemmings. No one is competing for that poisoned chalice. Even Thomas would merely accept it. He would accept anything, from your hand. But you’d never do such a thing to him.”
“But you think I’d do it to you.” Vincent smiles. “Aldo, nobody is going to be sacrificed. Not in this century. Not if I can help it.”
