Summary
A fleeting encounter between a quiet English bookseller and a world-weary Vatican official—once a beloved author—sparks the beginning of a slow, improbable romance in a Notting Hill AU full of quiet yearning, silly unrealistic dating, and the faint, foolish hope of a happy ending...

Summary
One evening in a dying city, five young men chose violence, and two old souls chose mercy. A boy bled for a love he hadn’t yet named; another arrived late, dropping all their farewell dinner plans in an instant.
History lingered in the shadows—future dusted off as it soared from the ground. Nothing was saved, but something was spared.
After all, what grows together, goes together.
And perhaps Thomas Lawrence and Aldo Bellini finally get to make that mint and asparagus linguine—only circa 45 years later...

Summary
The throne was never the prize, only the burden. Change had come, relentless and inevitable, and someone had to shape it. Not for glory, not for power—but because leaving it to lesser men was never an option.
And so, if Roma would not save itself, then Milano would do it for them...

Summary
Love, one measly word in English, yet the ancient Greeks had six...
Érōs is for the ones who burn, breathless, trembling with want, love that ruins sleep and rewrites theology.
Agápē is divine, the holy outpouring of the soul, the love that gives without asking, forgives without condition.
Philía is found in late-night talks, laughter in the kitchen, loyalty on a bad day, the kind of love that’s built over time and tea.
Philautía is trickier, love yourself, but not too much. It’s confidence, not conceit—don't be that guy accepting his Oscar who talked for an 'hour' about his own reflection.
Storgē is home. It’s the warm, worn-out kind of love that tolerates your worst moods without flinching.
Xenía is hospitality, but not just handing someone a drink. It's a sacred pact, the kind where you might host a god in disguise.
If love is a spectrum, the Greeks were the first to chart its vast terrain—marking each shade with categories, commentary, gestures, confessions, and perhaps a wine cup in hand.
This series may just guide an escort and a cardinal through each of those facets of love, as they navigate their way toward the right one.

Aldo Bellini and the Tomb of Saint Mark by wherewiltthouroam
Fandoms: Conclave (2024), Conclave - Robert Harris

Summary
"You could always seduce him."
"He's a priest," Aldo scoffed.
"So?"
Aldo flopped back onto the couch and threw an arm across his eyes.
"I'm not going to fuck a priest, Giulio."
"Why not? You seduce him and he lets you open the tomb because of how good your dick is, or you seduce him and then you blackmail him into letting you open the tomb. Either way you get what you want."
He didn't want to blackmail a priest, or fuck one, but he couldn't deny the logic.

Summary
“I have already arranged for us to discuss it tomorrow morning," Aldo said. “Is that all?”
That was all. Vincent observed in himself a feeling of disappointment; he hadn’t known until that moment how much he would like Aldo to be his friend.

Summary
“You what?”
“I said I love you, Thomas.” More stuffing of papers and stationary, and Aldo Bellini was normally so careful with things.
“You…can’t. You shan't say that.”
“Well, I’m sorry if it’s a burden to you. But I already said it.”
Thomas’ collar itched and he ran a nervous hand along the back of his neck to still the feeling. “Aldo, I teach canon law for Heaven’s sake. We are ordained ministers. You can’t possibly think I can reciprocate a desire that even the most progressive among our brothers recognize as disordered.”
(AKA the Aldo-moves-on-with-his-stupid-gay-life AU)
or;
20 years after Aldo Bellini resigned from his post at the Gregorian and vanished from Rome altogether, Thomas Lawrence awakens in his old friend’s bed. Whisked away from his own timeline with no idea how to get home, Thomas must learn to survive the life he may have had if he'd followed him all those years ago.

Summary
“Good luck with that,” Aldo muttered. “Unless you’re going to finally give him that spanking he’s been asking for all these months—” He stopped talking abruptly.
Vincent turned to stare at him, but Aldo studiously avoided his gaze, staring down at his lap with his fist braced over his mouth, one knuckle between his lips. Vincent looked back at Thomas, next. His lover had gone almost as red as his fascia; his lips were pressed firmly together, and his eyes were fixed on the ground.
“Really?” Vincent asked, beginning to smile. “Do you think that would help?"Aka the Lawrellinitez spanking fic that
