    Summary

    The Pope is dead.

    Not just a man but a voice, a pillar, a compass. And in the silence that follows, the Church does not mourn. It waits.

    Cardinal Tedesco is not a man seeking comfort. He is a man on the cusp of war, carrying scripture like flint, ready to strike against the rot he sees in the soul of Rome. But even he is not untouched. Not entirely.

    Not by her.

    Their bond is not gentle, it is forged in silence, in glances too long held, in words that linger like incense: half-prayer, half-proposition.

    She does not trust his fire, but she cannot look away from it either.

    In him, she sees ruin. In her, he sees something still unburned.

    As the conclave approaches and the Church prepares to crown its next soul to the pyre, they are drawn together, two faithful hearts wrapped in doubt, desire, and the terrible holiness of conviction.

    This is not a love story in spite of God.

    It is a love story beneath Him, within Him, against the burning veil of heaven.

    Because some saints are not martyred.

    Some are chosen by fire and walk into it willingly.

    Summary

    Tedesco is searching Bellini’s face up and down in stupefied frustration, making a discovery he’s missed a hundred times before, lower lip twitching, hopelessly trying to fish out useful words. At first Lawrence is tempted to say Aldo’s audacity infuriates him, but the rage comes too late.

    The truth is, it doesn’t seem like it wants to come out at all.

    Then Tedesco’s face colours, oddly pinkier than usual. “... Eminenza Bellini.

    Cardinal Bellini blows the smoke back. Cardinal Tedesco, much to his chagrin, is stirred.

    Summary

    A year after their rescue, James Fitzjames finds himself dreaming of Francis Crozier, a situation which escalates when he (foolishly) (truly foolishly) offers the man a place to live.

    Summary

    Francis Crozier runs the Franklin Zoo, which, much to his despair, is a job that consists more of paperwork than of zoology. James Fitzjames, meanwhile, is quite happy in his position as the Zoo's Director of Operations... though he would like to try some other... positions... if only his aggravatingly handsome boss could tolerate his presence for more than a few minutes.

    It is an uncomfortable, unsatisfying situation, but a manageable one for all parties involved.

    At least until things begin going mysteriously, horrifically wrong at the Franklin Zoo.

    ---------------------
    "Francis was well enough acquainted with unwanted burdens and lonely, miserable tasks. What was new for him was scrubbing parrot shit out of the hair of his forearms while seething with red-faced rage, cursing the day Franklin hired a man named James."

    Summary

    James Fitzjames is vaguely lonely, and yearns for something more personal than the hairless actors he sees on most porn videos.

    That's why it's such a pleasant shock to see a charming older man, very well-endowed, who moans his name and has an earnestness about him that rocks James to the core.

    In the videos, of course, the James that Francis is speaking to isn't him, but he can still pretend, can't he?

    Summary

    Out of all of the ridiculous titles like “ANGRY DADDY POUNDS TEEN TWINK” or “SCHOOLBOY SPANKED TIL HE CRIES” is a title that only consists of a date, that would have been this past Friday, and nothing else. The thumbnail looks to be a man straddling some sort of chair backwards, his arse and back towards the camera filming him from the shoulders down, sitting on some sort of dildo. It does seem to be a very nice arse. Intrigued, James clicks on it.

    Summary

    In the half-year since their return, Francis had become aloof, impassive, withdrawn. There was no logic to this strange metamorphosis. At Greenhithe, Francis had promised to look after him. Had told James: Come find me. Yet Francis had never been further out of reach.

    On a cold spring day in 1849, Francis drops everything and flees London for his sister's farm in Ireland. James, hurt and hungry for answers, gives chase.

    Summary

    "James makes him feel like a man half his age, and if society and the law did not forbid it, he’d take the younger man out on his arm every evening just so all of the world could see the handsomest man in the service had chosen him for a companion.

    James makes him want to do wild, bestial things in dark corners. This is a path Crozier tries not to wander down, due to the similarities to his thoughts from when he could barely stand the sight of the other man. That’s not how he thinks of James now. It can’t be. "

    Now lovers, James and Francis have to figure out what that means to them. Add in Jame's new struggles to get a decent nights sleep and Francis trying to keep his heart from getting trampled again and they're in for a tougher time than expected.

    Or

    Francis is determined to be gentle. James is going half-mad trying to get him to be rough.

    Summary

    A trip to the tailor sets James on a path he's been unable, and unwilling, to explore until now. But the exploration forces him to keep secrets from Francis, and Francis has always been skilled at sussing out when James is hiding something.

    Francis loves James. He's almost ready to say so (almost). And he's about to discover that he loves him no matter how he chooses to show himself.

    Summary

    The papers are unidentifiable–there is no personal name attributed to any of the pages, and, although there are references to a ‘James’, the commonality of the name (especially within the context of the expedition) makes it so that it is uncertain whom the papers both belong and refer to....

    a fake academic essay about a short collection of journal entries unearthed from nunavut.

    Summary

    “What was it, James, all those men before did that didn’t please you?” Francis asks quietly, a menacing gleam of certainty crystallising in his gaze, and James feels his stomach drop at the warm, queasy sense that some trap has been laid that he’s been far too foolish to see. “Or, rather," Francis whispers, "what did they fail to do? Tell me, so that I may not repeat their mistakes.”

    James has a secret, and Francis has a way of seeing far too much.

    Summary

    His captain’s spirit needed a little extra rousing these days. Beit his age, his melancholy or his dreadful habit, it took Jopson a special dedication to rouse his captain’s pleasure. In truth, Jopson was more than pleased. To tend to Francis’s needs was Jopson’s greatest pleasure. And as of late, there was nothing his captain needed more than comfort.

    It wasn’t that way initially.

    “Yeah, well,” Zoro says, “I thought you’d say no.”

    “Why would I say no?” Law asks, the corners of his lips tugging down in a frown.

    “Because you’re a control freak,” Zoro snorts, looking away from the sake bottle to meet Law’s eyes instead. “I thought control freaks didn’t drink.”

    Summary

    "Javier Peña was a man of determination, of ruthless goals and the hard edge to see them through. He was a man of loyalty and unconditional love. A man with so much love to give he didn’t know where to put it half the time. He wrapped everyone up in the warmth of his love.
    Still waters ran deep but Javier Peña’s love ran deeper.

    It made it hurt all the more when that love shattered around him. The glass casing around his heart fissuring and splintering underneath his chest, the shards jamming into his lungs and choking him with each panicked breath he took.
    That was how it felt when Colonel Carrillo died."

    Javier doesn't think he can love again after the death of Carillo. Pacho is determined to prove him wrong while battling his own demons.
