Keeping Up With the Lawrences by froot__loopity

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
Thomas felt the familiar ease between them – a certain familiarity that only comes with a natural understanding of the other person. From his experience, that kind of effortless connection was something that you either have right away or you don't. It doesn't come, and it doesn't go. It just is.
***
The proximity made the dean temporarily freeze in place. To an outside observer, in that moment, he would look completely unaffected, but the surge of adrenaline started crawling through his body. He sensed that this was somehow a mutual acceptance of crossing an invisible boundary, completely consciously and intentionally.
***
Or, Thomas and Vincent go from friends to lovers.

Summary
Lawrence is considering the benefits of leaving the room to go throw up somewhere when Vincent finally speaks.
“I wouldn’t call it a crush,” he says, his voice even and calm, brown eyes sparkling.
Lawrence nods, slightly hysterical. “You wouldn’t?” He asks hopefully. Good, okay. Vincent agrees. All that’s here is friendship. Simple, easy, proper. Appropriate. Friendship.
“No.” Vincent shakes his head and sets his teacup down. “I would say that I am in love with you.”

Summary
Thomas looks at his reflection on his bathroom's mirror and is a little startled to see an elderly man. He could've sworn that he has been twenty again, excited about arts and his journey into and with faith - and not without uncertainty, but hopeful and thrilled regardless.
"My, my," he sighs, but with a smile.

Summary
Standing before him, just inches away, was a young man. He couldn't have been more than twenty, speaking haltingly with the vendor in broken Italian, his voice unsure, filled with pauses and missteps. It was obvious he wasn’t a native speaker—his accent dragged unfamiliar vowels, and his verbs were awkward, like someone who had learned the language from textbooks rather than the streets.
But it wasn’t the voice that froze Thomas.
The boy was beautiful. His black, gleaming hair caught the last golden rays of the evening sun that still bathed part of the square. That soft light gave him an almost unreal glow, as if he didn’t fully belong in this world. Thomas felt a twist in his stomach as he compared it, involuntarily, to his own thinning blond hair.
It was then that the young man, noticing the light collision, looked up—and their eyes met.
or: Thomas and Vincent meet in Rome as young priests, where they share a strange immediate connection that will mark their lifes.

Summary
“I will be sad to see you go,” says Vincent. He twists a cord between his fingers, but his eyes are fixed on Thomas. “It will be… bereft here, without you.”
“We will find you another Dean.” Thomas gets up, trying to appear as though he is doing anything but fleeing. At the last moment, he turns back and bows his head. “Holy Father,” he adds. Before Vincent can reply, he hurries into the dark hall and closes the door behind him.
Or, after the conclave, Thomas Lawrence submits his resignation. Those closest to him have something to say about that.

Summary
In his dreams, his beloved is always wearing white — an apparition of light in his darkened room. And he is always on his knees — on the floor, on a kneeler, it does not matter — his head bowed in reverence. And then his beloved descends, from the heavens, from the skies, floating in his white garments.

Summary
“You are mischievous,” Thomas insists to María. “You’re just like your father.”
“You know,” Vincent comments, “I was just thinking how much you are like your Mama.”
Over the top of her head, Thomas meets his eye, and the pretty pink flush on his face speaks volumes. Vincent reaches over and cradles his face in one hand, lets his thumb stroke over that rosy heat blushing up beneath his skin, and lets himself rest into the pillows, relaxing, content.
or: five traits thomas and vincent's child inherited from them, and one that is entirely her own.
