    Summary

    “Do you always watch me that closely, Eminenza?” he asks, eyes on Aldo. Something in his voice has shifted, too, dropping it into what might almost be a conspiratorial mutter, and Aldo shouldn’t delude himself into thinking he can read anything into it. It’s been too long.

    Some doors should stay closed, especially after they’ve been slammed shut.


    After the conclave, over the course of seven days and seven conversations, Aldo Bellini is forced to retrace the steps of a past he's spent thirty years trying to forget and slowly comes to the realisation that old, buried feelings might not have been buried that deeply after all.

    Summary

    Thomas Lawrence never comes forward with the simony papers. Joseph Trembley is elected Pope.

    Thomas, now stripped of his title of Dean and cast out of the Vatican, finds himself unmoored. Salvation comes in the form of Vincent Benitez, trapped in Rome by papal decree and unable to return to his beloved parish. As the two struggle to find their footing, a slow intimacy begins to bloom between them.

    That is, until Vincent falls ill.

    As unforeseen revelations begin to rock the very foundation of the Church, the two are unwillingly thrust back into Vatican politics. While Vincent struggles to maintain his sense of self while forced to carry a miracle, Thomas must decide what matters more: his dedication to his faith or the love he feels for Vincent.

    Summary

    As the Thirty Years' war inches closer to an end, a group of influential people gathers at a monastery deep in the Bavarian forest: The future of Europe will be shaped by them.

    Father Vincent Benítez finds himself embroiled in politics and scheming against his own will. Navigating a war-torn Europe is hard enough; navigating his own heart is even harder as he gets to know these people - especially an exiled English priest.

    A lifetime at war and an impending peace: it's 1648, Vincent has a secret and a papal mandate. His heart ignores both of those facts.

    Summary

    Vincent Benítez considers himself an undemanding and humble man. Terms like envy, jealousy, and possessiveness are foreign concepts to him. Every rule, however, needs an exception. And that exception is Thomas Lawrence, Dean of the College of Cardinals and recently appointed Papal Advisor.

    Or: Thomas has a major glow-up after entering a relationship with Vincent. Unfortunately, Vincent isn't the only one noticing. And even though he'd never doubt his loyalty, he just needs to make sure that Thomas is his, and only his.

    Summary

    The Patriarch has always been fascinated by Aldo Bellini. The Liberal Lion, the sly politician, the handsome and intelligent spokesperson for everything Goffredo stood against. This man was so many things that Tedesco was not, that he admired and despised in equal measure.

    He never thought he would be his undoing as well.

    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

    Knowing what he knows now, Goffredo thinks he understands why Vincent held him off for so long. It wasn't piety or purity, he thinks, that made Vincent look him in the eyes and say they should honour their vows, it was privacy for this secret. Tedesco should hate it, find it sacreligious, but he has no space to judge when he is the one who desires another - not just another man, the new pope - carnally.

    Summary

    “I wouldn’t call it a crush,” he begins, bracing himself for the storm. Be calm, he tells himself. God is with you.

    “You wouldn’t?” Lawrence squeaks. His eyes are wide, searching. Vincent would spare a thought for his beauty, if he had any to spare in the first place.

    “No.” Vincent shakes his head and sets his teacup down. “I would say that I am in love with you.”

     

     

    Or, a companion fic to the love I’m given, from Vincent’s POV.

    Thomas knew he should feel some lingering flicker of shame: lying naked on the wide bed with two men—let alone these men—sandwiched tightly between their chests. But all he could find inside himself was joy.

    Summary

    Aldo Bellini got everything he wanted - the traditionalists defeated, a liberal other than himself on the papal throne, his job back, and Thomas Lawrence staying in the Vatican. So why do all his wins taste so much like losses anyway?

    Goffredo Tedesco is grieving - his brother, his papal ambitions, the certainty of his convictions, and his foolish hopes for love. So why does their unexpected pontiff of all people make him want to embrace this daunting new era anyway?

    The tides of change are sweeping through the church and their lives, and there’s no choice but to sink or swim.

    Summary

    Harrenhal wasn’t a safe place. It wasn’t safe for a young girl, for a girl from a rivaling noble house, disguised as a commoner even less. In fact, it wasn't safe for anyone. Whilst the Lord of Harrenhal drank sweet wine from an ornate cup, everyone else drank a far more bitter draught.

    The story of Arya Stark, now cupbearer to Lord Tywin in Harrenhal. A tale of innocence and intimidation, of little games, unwisely played.

    Summary

    Amid scandal and political turmoil, when one of the Vatican’s modern-day holy trinity, the Dean of the College of Cardinals, is (falsely) accused of an unthinkable crime, the relationship the three of them have built begins to fracture. Ergo, what follows is a deluge of pain, mourning layered upon mourning, the slow and ungainly labour of coping.
