    Summary

    Cardinal Lawrence has always been able to work miracles, and it is his greatest secret.

    When the bomb explodes, a metal shutter on the high clerestory windows - put there for their protection, but really to maintain their secrecy - is shunted from its mooring and flies across the Sistine Chapel. It strikes Cardinal Benítez directly.

    There is no choice, really. Thomas saves his life. And, in doing so, reveals his miracles to every cardinal of the assembled conclave. Unsurprisingly, this changes the outcome of the final vote.

    +++

    “Do you accept your canonical election as Supreme Pontificate?” Aldo asks him. He seems apologetic about it, at least.

    Thomas takes only a moment to make sure that his words won’t break and his voice won’t tremble. “Accepto.”

    He always feared this day would come.

    “You’re lying, Thomas.”

    Summary

    It’s been about four months since you moved to a new city. In an attempt to get out and try new things, you go see a play starring Adam Driver.

    You managed to snag a VIP ticket that included a meet & greet after the show. After briefly talking to him, your universe temporarily overlaps with the Star Wars universe, leaving you face to face with the real Kylo Ren! He has no idea who you are, but you know exactly who he is.

    Seeking to save him from his inevitable demise, you throw off the entire trajectory of his fate, starting a completely new timeline. Uncertain of where all this will take you, you can only hope to stay by his side and see it through.

    Summary

    You’re a regular human from planet Earth, just trying to make it through the struggles of everyday life. To you, Star Wars is nothing more than an enjoyable franchise that’s completely fictional.

    If only you knew that in a galaxy far, far away.. the Force actually exists. And that same Force has connected you to the infamous Kylo Ren. Trouble is, without any ability to use the Force, yourself, that connection is completely one-sided. You can’t see him, but he sees you.

    Years pass and he can’t stand it any longer.. he needs you. He needs to have you. Why else would the Force have connected you two, right?
