Summary
Selkie!Thomas Lawrence AU <3
***
Vatican City is landlocked.
Of course, Vatican City is not far from the coast, by any means, but the point still remained that no matter which way he turned, there was not an ocean in sight ... the abstract concept of something in the distance often does nothing to satisfy the need for it.
(Perhaps that was his problem with God.)
And of course, needing and longing and yearning were all feelings that he tried to stamp out. His needs were not at all important when he stood in the shadow of the cross; his life was meant to be in service of others, constant and unwavering.
That was why he had given up his ticket back home to that memory, that feeling of freedom in the sea– his seal’s pelt– many years ago. Thomas Lawrence was a selkie who had not inhabited his seal form in nearly four decades.Bookmarked by hypathetical

Summary
When Thomas Lawrence came by the papal apartments that evening, he came, unsurprisingly, with a bundle of papers under his arm.
Vincent tried on and discarded four separate teasing comments about it, but didn’t get to decide on one before Thomas silently handed them over, and he realized they were newspapers, opened and refolded over the weekly comics, his favorite. Three of them, one for each week he’d been away.
Ah, he thought, with the feeling of a sudden hard deceleration in his chest, the press it put on his heart. Ah. All right then.

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.”

Summary
The thing about deja vu is that it really goes hand-in-hand with the whole Spider Society thing. There's rarely been a day since meeting the rest of the gang, that Peter hasn't felt even the smallest ounce of creeping familiarity. And, he's not the only one. It just comes with the territory of the whole multiverse bag. Their lives all interlock and tug like chains. Really, this bizarre day should not be so disconcerting.
But that's the thing. This feels bigger than just deja vu. It's much more than a feeling of having lived all this before.
Because he really has lived this before. Like, yesterday, for Christ's sake.
Or: Peter gets stuck in a time loop.

In the booth, Mike saw every dime-store defendant in the city. Saw the same group of lawyers and judges pass in and out in packs, like birds running south for the winter. He never expected to look twice at anyone, let alone a public defender.

Summary
When it comes to relationships, Nandor holds himself to a high standard. He expects things to be perfect the first time around, but that's easier said than done.
Fortunately for Nandor, he can just hypnotize Guillermo to forget whenever he fails to meet his own expectations. It's a totally foolproof plan.
