I'm On Trial (Who's A Heretic Now?) by princecharming_inmaking

Summary
When Cardinal Thomas Lawrence confronts Aldo Bellini with evidence of Tremblay’s simony, their fight takes a different, unexpected turn. Instead of retreating into silence, Aldo lashes out, arguing that survival and action matter more than spotless moral purity. What begins as a bitter clash between two old friends (and most important people in the Church’s hierarchy) becomes the spark that once again pushes Aldo into the center of the conclave and onto a path neither he nor Thomas had foreseen.
Pulled between doubt and duty, Aldo steps forward, his campaign shaped as much by passionate speeches as by late-night plotting with Giulio Sabbadin, and the complicated loyalty of Thomas Lawrence. To his horror, Aldo finds himself caught between friendship, longing, faith, and the unbearable reality of becoming pope.
A canon divergence ‘what if’ with political drama, lots of long speeches, hurt/comfort, scheming, intrigue, and plenty of moral dilemmas. Endgame Lawrellini.

Summary
Turning to Tedesco, Aldo continued. He knew he was being brutal, he hated every second of it, and dreaded the next sentences he knew were coming. Nevertheless, it had to be said.
“You want to stand here and talk about cleansing the Church? Then start with yourself. Tell them how you cried after sex. Tell them how you asked me to hear your confession and then kissed me before I could give you penance. Tell them how you said, ‘I don’t want to be saved if it means I have to stop wanting you.’ Go on. Say it. Tell them. I dare you.”

Summary
“That’s it, you are going to a hospital,” Jessica ruled, seeing Harvey spread out on the couch in his office, white as a ghost, for the third time that week.
Have you ever wondered what would happen if Harvey met House? That's the fic!

Summary
"Looking back, Harvey couldn’t believe how blind he’d been. The signs were all there, painfully obvious in hindsight, but he had been too caught up in his world to notice the hints Mike had been unconsciously dropping from the very start."
Or:
What if Mike actually went to Harvard, but had to keep a different secret instead?

Summary
The letters that follow have been carefully gathered, catalogued, and translated by our dedicated research team. Drawn from documents originally written in Dari, Arabic, and Spanish, they have been rendered here into English with both precision and deep respect by our translation staff, many of whom spent months laboring over turns of phrase, idioms, and handwritten ambiguities. This was not merely an act of linguistic translation, but of emotional stewardship.
Our intention in presenting these letters is not to sensationalize the private correspondence of a man who once wore the most public of robes. Rather, it is to offer the world a more complete picture—one that history, for all its ceremony and record-keeping, has never been able to capture fully.
Vincent Benítez—known to most as His Holiness Innocentius XIV—was, above all else, a man.

Summary
Goffredo Tedesco enjoys to arrive unannounced and uninvited to Bellini’s office. At some point, that had to backfire.

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
In which a wardrobe malfunction kicks off the Bellesco Rube Goldberg machine. I guess that makes Aldo the marble?
Or: the 5+1 format as the competence kink trenchcoat hiding self-reflection, ruminations on grief, learning to see each other as people, apocryphal texts, Reformation jokes, my hysterical obsession with silver curls, etc.
