Summary
At an academic conference about the role of ghosts in European society, the Captain gets rather more than he bargained for. Having to share a bed with a certain Dr Havers isn't even the half of it.

Summary
Turns out dying is the easy part. Navigating the afterlife with the recently discovered ghost of your former lieutenant is decidedly harder. As old memories are dredged up and new traumas are dealt with, the Captain and Havers get the closure they need (and I very much want).

Summary
Standing on his step was Anthony Havers. No longer Lieutenant. Captain? Major? Did it matter now that the war was over? No uniform, but rather a faded blue button up shirt with a loose camp collar, slimmer cut trousers, a holdover from fabric rationing, and dark leather shoes, a little careworn. He’d never seen Havers in anything other than a uniform or cricket kit.
James knew he looked awful, but he hadn’t expected to see it register in Havers’ face, the way surprise had subtly shifted to shock and pity. He nearly slammed the door shut in response.
- - -
Recovering, alone, from a nearly-fatal heart attack, James buries himself in his job, copyediting manuscripts. Anthony Havers, traumatized by the war, tries to make sense of his experience and his past at Button House by putting pen to paper.

You know you're not having a great day when you wake up in a pond...
Stretching the meaning of the word 'monster' kind of far for the prompt 'monster AU' for Lawrellini Week (but truly, what is more monstrous than confronting yourself? Actual monsters, yeah, you're right.)

Summary
Benítez tilts his head a fraction closer, conspiratorial. “It’s a pity our devices have been confiscated for the time that we’re sequestered here. I would’ve suggested sneaking off to exchange more music recommendations since you’ve demonstrated taste.”
“Dally any longer, and I fear that neither of us will be in anyone’s good graces,” Thomas replies as Ray sweeps past them. “But I would’ve…” He glances furtively at Benítez; for an instant, it’s the thrill of misbehaving at seminary again. “I would’ve liked that.”
“There’s a computer in the office.”
“We’d have to cross Sister Agnes.”
“Ah. Never mind that idea, then.”
Oh, the things I would’ve liked had we been young men together, Thomas thinks wistfully as they approach the dining room. I would’ve liked you.

Summary
“You’d like him, you know,” Thomas said.
“I do like him,” Aldo said automatically, twirling the stem of his wine glass, looking into its deep red like it was a scrying mirror.
“I mean as a friend. If you spent more time with him. You have a lot in common.”
“Do we use the same shampoo?” asked Aldo, raising an eyebrow. Thomas gave him a warning look but his mouth was tugging up.
“You’re both stubborn,” he said bluntly.
*
Cardinals like Thomas Lawrence and Aldo Bellini know all too well how slowly things move within the walls of the Vatican. But with Vincent Benítez's election cracking their world open, and the new Pope cutting away the old branches to make room for the new, both find that change is flooding in everywhere, mostly within themselves.

Summary
Aldo rolls his eyes, annoyance genuine this time. “Oh, for God’s sakes. The worst thing we ever did was teach children they have rights.”
“You don’t mean that,” Thomas says patiently.
“I do,” Aldo insists darkly. “Freedom of expression does not mean you have the right to scrawl ‘skibidi toilet’ all over the third floor bathroom.”
*******
The ancient and venerable St Peter's School for Boys elects a surprise new headmaster, and Aldo reaches heights of stress headache never before experienced by mortal man.

Summary
Thomas hadn’t meant to buy engagement rings on a Thursday in New York City.
Alternatively: The one in which Thomas Lawrence steps in front of a gun pointed at Vincent Benítez, the papal American roadtrip takes a sharp left faced with US politics, and the pining for Aldo Bellini is starting to look like divine intervention; not necessarily in that order.

Summary
“Do share, Princess, however did you manage to escape the imprisonment of your tower?” With narrowing proximity, the static of his voice raised the hairs on Charlie's arms. Not quite fear, no—more like dread. The filter served as a barrier. A veil that deprived her of genuine inflection. “Don't tell me you fashioned a rope out of…” Edging closer still, Alastor's spread fingers ghosted over the side of Charlie's head, claws just a breath away from catching on a strand. His voice lowered to a crackle of feedback. “Hair?”
Something shifted in Charlie's rib cage. What it was, she didn't know—but she felt the palpitation. She was close enough to smell him.
A canon divergent AU set in cannibal town, prior to the creation of Charlie's hotel.

Summary
Can you write an alternate ending to your own story? Sure, you can!
I'm considering this an alternate ending to "Profoundly" because references will be made to events that occurred in that story (e.g. Xander's confrontation with Samuel in chapter 39). However, you do not need to have read "Profoundly" before reading this story.

Summary
The whispers of his name grow into chants. Muad’Dib. Muad'Dib. Muad'Dib. She could kill a thousand men, and still the first one after would utter his name. It is pointless to run from it, to hide from it. She knows this. She does not bother with lying to herself about a truth as fundamental as this. She cannot escape him.
But for a time, life is simple.
And then it is not.
Or — Chani, in the aftermath.
