Summary
A conclave university AU that no one asked for.

Summary
“To be frank, Thomas, you are nothing and no one outside the Vatican,” the late Holy Father had continued. “You have a family, that is true. But you must be distant person to them by now, a tragic ghost that sends them Christmas presents and writes them e-mails. I do not say this to be cruel, I am just telling you the facts of the matter. I will hear no argument; you will continue to serve the Church and God as you have done all your career.”

Summary
He would have recognized that face anywhere in the world, in any crowd, at any hour of the day or night.
He had seen it in dreams for thirty years, recalled it in his quietest prayers, imagined it in the halls of the Vatican or among the faithful. Thirty years of absence branded into his memory like fire.
And now it was here.
Like divine punishment.
or: Thomas and Vincent reunite 30 years later at the conclave, after an agonizing breakup.

Summary
Love.
Love was something neither Lawrence nor Benitez liked to get themselves into.
It was complicated, messy, and had many consequences for those who were involved.
However....
There was something in the way Benitez smiled, the way he spoke, even just in his posture and poise, that drew Lawrence in.
There was something in the way that Lawrence was unconditionally caring, in his smile, in this voice, that just made Benitez marvel at his tranquility.
It wasn't something that either would ever care to speak about. They were both cardinals, simply trying to choose new Holy Father, and go back to their respective ministries.
But love was a very tempting force. They learn this well.

Summary
Vincent coughs again, then rests back, winded. His hand drifts toward the apple plate on the bedside table. Thomas steadies it. Helps him take a slice. It trembles on the way to his mouth.
“They used to say I would fracture the Church,” Vincent murmurs. “Let in rot. Invite sin with open hands. All because I believed the ones furthest from the altar were often the ones carrying the most grace.”
Thomas doesn’t speak. He doesn’t need to. He’s heard this pain before — in meetings, in private, in exile.
“They wanted Peter’s fire,” Vincent says. “But I gave them Joseph’s silence. That wasn’t enough.”
He pauses. The slice of apple, half-eaten, sits in his palm like a relic.
(Or, ten years after the conclave that elected Pope Innocent XIV, it seems that Cardinal Lawrence will need to organize yet another one in this lifetime.)
