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
Thomas’ eyes blink open, then fall on Vincent.
“Vincent,” he murmurs blearily, voice hoarse. Then, he seems to register he's in his own apartment, outside of the Vatican. He rockets onto his elbows. “Vincent! What—”
Vincent holds up the apartment key. “I let myself in. I hope you don't mind.”
“Of course not! But—how did you get here?”
“I walked.”
“Through Rome?”
“Well, I didn't walk through Venice.”
____
Thomas and Vincent test the limits of their self-control. (It’s rapidly dwindling, given they have the keys to each other’s apartments.)

Summary
Brother Thomas Lawrence has resigned from his position as Dean of the College of Cardinals, seeking out a quiet life in a Franciscan order to reconnect with God. But his time there is marked with nightmares and horrific visions of the Holy Father (the man he left behind, the man who still haunts his waking moments and permeates his thoughts) - and he finds himself inexorably drawn back to the Vatican.
Vincent has been calling out for him.

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.

“Of course, should you have sin to confess.”
In the first year of Pope Innocent XIV's papacy, Thomas Lawrence and Vincent Benitez struggle to negotiate duty and desire.

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.”

Jayce Talis has had a meteoric rise from B-list TV actor to Oscar nominee, a result of constant work and dedication to his craft. It should be the stepping stone to bigger and better projects.
Yet, when he receives a letter from his old writing partner after seven years of zero contact, he drops everything to fly to New York and work with him again, this time on the stage. New conflicts rise amongst old tensions, but Jayce knows that in the end, making art with Viktor is worth all the heartache. Right?
