The new Pope is decided. He stands in the hallway outside the balcony where Pope Innocent XIV gives his first speech to millions. He goes to bed.
    And then he does it all over again.
    And does it all over again–
    And over–
    And–

     

    Thomas is stuck in a time loop of the last day of the conclave.

    Summary

    Was he just paranoid? Was he so far gone that he was just imagining things? Maybe, but Thomas kept praying, focusing on the words of his prayer, as he swore something stood right next to his bed. All he could hear, however, was the clock, the beeping and whirring of the monitors, and the sound of his own labored breaths in the darkness.

     

    Give us this day our daily bread,

    and forgive us our trespasses,

    as we forgive those who trespass against-

     

    He let out a choked sound as a hand covered his mouth, tilting his head to the side, and something sharp latched onto his neck, digging into his flesh.

    -Or-

    Thomas’ cancer returns, but someone prevents his death by turning him into a vampire. Unsure of how to navigate this new life, he seeks out Vincent Benitez to help find the vampire that turned him.

    Summary

    “I wouldn’t call it a crush,” he begins, bracing himself for the storm. Be calm, he tells himself. God is with you.

    “You wouldn’t?” Lawrence squeaks. His eyes are wide, searching. Vincent would spare a thought for his beauty, if he had any to spare in the first place.

    “No.” Vincent shakes his head and sets his teacup down. “I would say that I am in love with you.”

     

     

    Or, a companion fic to the love I’m given, from Vincent’s POV.
