Hob gets stood up in 1989. Amidst his hurt and confusion, he has one thing clear: if his Stranger wants to be like that, to leave him alone and dispose of him as if 600 years of knowing each other is nothing? Fine. He can go right ahead.
But his Stranger is not going to have the last word, not this time. Even if he has to track him down himself to make it so.

Summary
Charles was 16 when he ran away from home and found himself in the kitchen at Café Vivienne. Caught in the act of stealing a roll of bread, he expected to be arrested. Instead he found a home, a purpose, a family.
Of course, none of that lasted. Aunt Vivi—his beloved mentor—died six months ago, and now Charles’s livelihood is under threat when her estranged great nephew—and his former best friend—Edwin, returns to claim his inheritance.
It won’t be a happy reunion.
Crystal snorted. “What did the Lawyer from Hell want? Don’t tell me that prick’s causing problems again? What’s his name? Edward?”
“Edwin,” Charles corrected, the name rolling off his tongue automatically.
Crystal looked at him sharply, her gaze lingering. Charles kept his eyes fixed on the edge of the table. He could imagine what she was thinking, though she could only know the tiniest details. She didn’t know the full story. Even Aunt Vivi hadn’t known that.
“He’s coming here,” he said. “Apparently Aunt Vivi wanted him to stay here for a bit. So, he’s arriving today, though no one’s said anything about how long for, or what he’s planning on doing with the place. Guess I’ll have to ask him that myself when he shows up.”

Summary
Dream was well aware of his flaws. People loved to tell him about them to his face.
Why do you stand so stiffly? Can’t you act normal for five minutes? You’re so dramatic. You’re so arrogant. Why are you so quiet? You’re too romantic. You’re too cold. You’re too much. You’re not enough.
You’re lucky you’re so pretty.
He lost count of how many people told him that particular fact about himself.
(Dream and Hob move in together, and Dream is desperate to never look anything less than perfect. After all, his looks are all he has.)

Summary
Obviously, truth is stranger than fiction, and there’s always going to be edge cases in the real world, but for our purposes: just how realistic is Armand’s tragic backstory?
Judging by the number of retweets/reblogs on this post and others like it, fannish opinion seems to be “not very”. But honestly? It’s not that far-fetched.
Or: a fannish academic does a deep dive into the most controversial character in Daniel Molloy’s new novel.

Summary
"Let me help.” A hundred years or so from now, I believe, a famous novelist will write a classic using that theme. He'll recommend those three words even over “I love you."
- Star Trek, 'The City on the Edge of Forever'Pope Innocentius may be, as the papers say, pure, unblemished, a saint in human form - but Vincent Benítez is very much a man, and wants nothing more than to go home.
Thomas Lawrence will see him through, no matter the cost.

Summary
Lawrence is considering the benefits of leaving the room to go throw up somewhere when Vincent finally speaks.
“I wouldn’t call it a crush,” he says, his voice even and calm, brown eyes sparkling.
Lawrence nods, slightly hysterical. “You wouldn’t?” He asks hopefully. Good, okay. Vincent agrees. All that’s here is friendship. Simple, easy, proper. Appropriate. Friendship.
“No.” Vincent shakes his head and sets his teacup down. “I would say that I am in love with you.”

Summary
After his last carnal sin, confession and repentance, over thirty years ago, Cardinal Thomas Lawrence had given up that part of his life gladly. It hadn’t felt like a sacrifice anymore. God’s love had been enough.
Enough until now.
Now, in his darkest hour.
Now, when he has become a priest who can’t pray.
Now is the time when God sends him the hardest test he’s ever had to face.

Summary
“I know this is difficult. I know you do not like this. But you are starving yourself, Thomas, and God would not see you starved. I would not see you starved.”
Thomas wonders what it says about him that one of those means more than the other— and what it means that this does not bother him as it should, this blasphemous thought, this sacrilegious reprioritization.
“I do not wish to argue with you, my dear Vincent,” Thomas says, voice quiet. “Your concern is kind, but— I am afraid this is only how I am.”
Vincent squeezes his hands.
“You are not your punishments,” Vincent tells him, firm, warm, insistent. “You are not your denial. You are not your sacrifice, Thomas, nor your hunger. You are not your starvation.” His hands shake Thomas’s, a rattle to keep his attention. “You are Thomas. You are human, and you are starving, and you should not be.”
