Summary
Finally, they arrive at the homily. Benítez is much briefer than his predecessor. And yet, his speech feels fuller, somehow. He pins them all under the darkness of his gaze. When his eyes land on Aldo, he feels as if Benítez has stripped him bare, that he can see the horrible, green monster that writhes beneath his breast. He speaks of love and light, a desire to move them forward into the future while paying homage to the past. Aldo feels trapped in that damned vote, watching the world crumble under his feet.
The morning after Vincent Benítez is elected Pope Innocent XIV, Aldo Bellini attends morning mass. He tries to grapple with the scale of everything he's lost to Benítez: his role as Secretary of State, the Papacy, and Thomas Lawrence.
Or, the one where Aldo is still sore about the conclave, and he has to navigate his new place in the Curia while trying to sort out his feelings for Thomas and Vincent. They all have feelings about this, separately, and then together.

Summary
The Vatican. A city-state of unshakeable faith, immovable power, and inescapable drama. Behind the gilded doors of the Apostolic Palace, alliances are forged, betrayals are whispered, and centuries of tradition rest in the perfectly manicured hands of men who can quote canon law and hold a grudge for a lifetime. Here, gossip is a sacrament, pettiness is a sacred duty, and even the holiest among them can’t resist a little scandal over afternoon tea. Welcome… to a new season of... The Real Housewives of Vatican City.

Summary
He startles out of his thoughts when Tedesco coughs. He is grinning, now, like he knows something Aldo doesn't. “No?” He takes a pointed drag. He must think blowing out plumes of flavoured smoke makes him look attractive. “I always thought he had very beautiful blue eyes, our Tommaso. A fine face—one might think he is a continental man. Do you think he's kept to his vows of celibacy?”
“I'm sure he has,” Aldo says neutrally. Thomas is not an easy man to tempt.

Cardinals Bellini and Tedesco consider Thomas Lawrence, the Virgin Mary, and each other.

Summary
In the real Casa Santa Marta, cardinals sleep two to a room, and cannot pick their roommates - what if this were the case in Conclave, also?
As the latecomer, Vincent Benítez gets put in the one remaining free spot - with Tedesco. With the patience of a saint, he endures indoor vaping and off-color opinions and Tedesco's personality, and may go on to awaken something in the man.

Summary
“You’d like him, you know,” Thomas said.
“I do like him,” Aldo said automatically, twirling the stem of his wine glass, looking into its deep red like it was a scrying mirror.
“I mean as a friend. If you spent more time with him. You have a lot in common.”
“Do we use the same shampoo?” asked Aldo, raising an eyebrow. Thomas gave him a warning look but his mouth was tugging up.
“You’re both stubborn,” he said bluntly.
*
Cardinals like Thomas Lawrence and Aldo Bellini know all too well how slowly things move within the walls of the Vatican. But with Vincent Benítez's election cracking their world open, and the new Pope cutting away the old branches to make room for the new, both find that change is flooding in everywhere, mostly within themselves.

Not so Quiet Nights at Home, or Household Management as Practiced by Augustus Berrycloth-Young by Joylee for Philomytha

Summary
That ‘occasional letter’ that Nightingale had requested of me for his running interference on my behalf with the old sticks at the Folly was turning out to be more than a little taxing. What with being seconded to amateur sleuths as their personal assistants. And now he expected me to file reports. Still a Berrycloth-Young laughs, or at least only moans quietly, in the face of adversity. He also asks for a good strong drink.

Summary
Peter enters the Folly many years earlier; Lesley follows him inside.
Once, when Lesley was seven and about three months after it happened, she had sat at family dinner and swung her legs as she idly turned a fork around strands of spaghetti and said, rather nonchalantly, that she hoped that when her parents died Mr Nightingale would come and look after her, too.

the weight of the air in your hands by Odaigahara for littlebluemarble
Fandoms: The Goblin Emperor Series - Katherine Addison

Summary
Nalis had not felt the weight of his own omissions so keenly since he had heard secondhand, weeks after his recovery, that the Archduke Maia’s entire household had been lost to plague, and that he was presumed as dead as they were– that he was missing, and that perhaps there would be a reward if he were found, and that there were men venturing into the Edonara to trawl for his corpse.
The fact that Prince Idra had made the order a request– that he’d clearly realized he had no real recourse against Nalis if he refused–
Csevet was visibly horrified, stifling himself from correcting the emperor’s phrasing. Nalis caught his eye, trying to seem loyal and reassuring, and said to Prince Idra, “Serenity, we are entirely at your service.”
