    Summary

    It isn’t easy, having your first and only heartbreak be heard in every radio, every street, every place. It isn’t easy, having the ghost of his presence follow you everywhere you go, even if you’ve spent the last twenty years trying to silence it out.

    It isn’t easy, now that you’re back, and you remember that he isn’t a ghost at all, finding the familiar eyes and hearing the familiar voice on stage as you wonder: ‘Do you still remember when we were still young and I was still urging you to perform? Look at where we are now — you, loved by all; me, just a part of the crowds you sing for.’

    Summary

    “Alright, alright. Please, we are all grown men here,” cut Bob, placing his hands up and intervening. Right, five men and a baby. He’s pretty sure there’s a movie about that. “No need to argue. Before we start, I would like to know how a baby came into the care of three of my cardinals.”

    Summary

    Pope Leo XIV and Cardinal Tagle. Robert and Luis. Bob and Chito. In the marble halls of the Vatican, they must navigate the use of their names depending on the constantly shifting nature of conversations, from the formal and the sacred to the comfortable and intimate. Who are they to each other, and who are they when in service of God?

    This series of vignettes chronicles their relationship across 13 years. Inspired by a few comments I’ve seen online about how Prevost was destined to be pope, the new Peter, the Rock upon which the Church stands, while Tagle was meant to take on the role of John, the most faithful apostle, also known as the Beloved.

    Aldo Bellini, the newly elected Dean of the Sacred College of Cardinals, is thrust into a situation which will forever alter his views on faith, the world and his fellow Men in Christ—especially a certain aggravating Venetian Cardinal with a bad temper and a worse attitude.
