    Summary

    Phoenix and Maya finally clean out Mia's office. Far, far too many people help.

    "Jesus, Nick, you ever heard of throwing stuff out?" Maya laughs as she throws open the window, clapping her hands over the sill to shake off the dust. She's careful about where she puts her feet, Phoenix notes, despite the casual tone. It makes for a slightly awkward stance, how she steps to avoid every square of carpet Mia's body once touched. "I'd’ve thought you got rid of all this shit years ago!"

    Summary

    “Oh,” Lawrence said, with a half-smile. Ray would find this anecdote amusing. “She doesn’t seem to appreciate the limitations of our vocation. So I can't quite follow all of her directives, is what I meant to say.”

    He waited for Ray to make one of his normal jokes about the differences between clergy and laypeople, but Ray’s brow crinkled. “You haven’t been following the doctor’s orders?”

    //

    Or, Lawrence gets some awkward medical advice. Ray has always been a very dedicated assistant.

    Summary

    The visions became rarer, but never left him completely. And though his collar grew stiff with responsibility and his hands folded in more prayer than longing, two truths remained constant – etched into every memory like a sacrament:
    One: the visions showed the one he kissed in love.
    Two: the one they loved was never him.

     

    Or: Aldo can see the future whenever he kisses someone.

    Summary

    Someone was going to snap before the concert, and Aldo Bellini had placed a fifteen dollar bet with Vincent that it would be the universally loathed Gofreddo Tedesco: first chair violist, and widely agreed to be the first man cannablized in the scenario of a plane crash.

    He was, first and foremost, an arrogant bastard. The type to show up thirty-five minutes late to rehearsal without a care in the world. The type to shout at the freshman second violins for ruining tone of the inner voices, and most of all the type to glare at anyone who dared not to treat their instrumental career as if it were a life-or-death situation, never mind the treatment of his own musical talent. Tedesco excused his own tardiness—he was the first chair after all—but any slack to anyone beside himself was an unthinkable concept; an insult to his expertise.

    This is what Aldo Bellini assumed, at least.

    The truth may have been off, his mentality, that is. His actions were fact: blunt, rude and brooding exactly as expected, yet something hummed quiet and off key deep beneath his skin.

    When misconceptions collide with shame, repression and wit, a storm of things can happen. This fic will just show you one of them.

    Summary

    Tedesco reaches into his luggage, before pulling out a copy of Niccolo Machiavelli’s The Prince. It can be enough, he believes, to muse on what might’ve been instead of mourning it. He admires the words of the Florentian, and wishes that others in his out-group would as well.

    One cannot scold him for his surprise, when he kicks his feet up and reaches in for the bookmark he’d have left, and all he finds in this English copy is the handwriting of his mortal enemy on a crinkled receipt for pan au chocolat.

    Talk about shame, he thinks, Aldo Bellini’s loopy handwriting in his hands. It reads — Non si può evitare la guerra; si può solo posticipare a vantaggio degli altri.

    Or, Bellini and Tedesco have identical suitcases and a luggage switch up has Tedesco flying to New York to retrieve his things. The wounds are still fresh following the conclave.

    Summary

    Every single person in this world has a soul that aches, fears, and wants. The animal we all have inside, tamed by our reason and humanity, chained to the depths of our hearts. Some people in this world are cursed with losing that chain, having their soul festering under their skin from then on, ready to take over, transform them and rejoice, free of the ties of human constructs.

    Most of the world considers it the duty of an unchained human to tame oneself, and keep their mind with them even when the animal breaks loose.

    Summary

    Tedesco is a patriarch, unrelenting, stuck in the past, cherries and booming voice preceding his appearance.
    There’s nothing soft or gentle about him, and sometimes Aldo does wonder—had there been a time when it hadn’t been so? Had he always been so strict, so angry? Had he ever been sweet?

     

    Aldo Bellini and Goffredo Tedesco drive down to Matera, the Patriarch's hometown.

    In the city of stones, nothing ever really changes.

     

    Act I, Italienne—Matera, ouverture.

    Act II, Tedesco—Bord de mer.

    Summary

    Aldo Bellini is intimate with gluttony and its different manifestations; in food, in relationships, in wants and desires. It accompanies him like an old friend, a dirty little secret festering in the back of his mind, plauging him and his grief following the loss of the late Pope, whom he once held so dear.

    A not-so-experimental piece featuring EXTREMELY UNHEALTHY coping mechanisms, weaponisation of guilt, and good old fashioned love-hate divorcee relationship vibes.

    Summary

    A soulmate, by definition, was someone chosen for him by God, and whom he was chosen for in return. It signified love and respect, both of which Aldo never imagined having for Tedesco, or being received from him. He was confined to a soulmate who would never even dare try to love him.
