Summary
The three brothers sit in momentary silence. Probably unsure what to say, you think. You knew they wouldn’t handle it like Sister Imperator would. At least she understood your hesitance - the brothers, who hadn’t been allowed the choice of choosing their own paths, had desperately pushed you to try college. If not for your parents, for them. How ironic. Finally, Primo speaks up.
“You’re homesick.”

Summary
Terzo has retired from the Papacy to become a mediocre Satanic priest in the small Southern town of Farthing. He's very tired of the Ministry demanding he or his brothers find a Prime Mover to produce an heir to the Papacy. As far as he's concerned, he's given them everything and still they ask for more.
His congregant Cam has spent their whole life as the town darling, the flawless shining Satanist who can do no wrong even among Farthing's largely Christian population. But they have a small secret that could do damage far beyond their own reputation.
What if Terzo and Cam can help each other out?
Terzo/OC Fake Prime Mover story featuring small town dynamics, perfectionism, reputation, and family—which can, after all, mean a lot of different things.

Summary
You're not Terzo's prime mover, not in the traditional sense. In all your years at the abbey, you've only exchanged a handful of words with him. You doubt he even knows your name.
But you're moving him tonight, and you're the only one doing it--so, technically, yes, you could say you're his prime mover. It's not nearly as enticing as it sounds. It involves a lot of dumb luck or unholy intervention, depending how you view it. And it consists mostly of panic. Panic, personal sacrifice, and quite a bit of lower back pain. It's not fun. It's not sexy. It's not classy.
And if you don't accept the job, it's going to be the last night of his life.
