In the Comfort of the Chapel by honeyfluxx
Fandoms: Conclave (2024), Conclave - Robert Harris

Summary
He awoke with a gasp, shooting straight up in his bed. It was not unlike the sensation of falling down while asleep and jolting awake. But this was much, much worse. He sat there, a sob caught in his throat, shaking violently, pressing the balls of his wrists into his eyes.
The images from Vincent’s nightmare still flashed behind his eyes so clearly as though it were real. The ear splitting blast from the explosion, the shrapnel from the car bomb ricocheting in every direction and piercing his flesh. The dream was as realistic as the day it had actually happened in Kabul, but the only thing that had changed from the reality of that day was the figure bleeding out next to him in this nightmare.
Thomas.
Or
Vincent has been having nightmares, and unexpectedly runs into Thomas late at night.

Summary
Outside, the temperatures are still cool, but Thomas can still see the first signs of spring: the days are getting longer, there are green sprouts on the trees. And he can see them in himself, too. It’s unexpected, but many unexpected things have happened, these last few months. His soul feels lighter, prayer comes more easily, even his knees are behaving.
Of course, he can’t ignore the root of these changes, although he wishes he could.

Summary
Goffredo Tedesco, or rather: Father Goffredo Tedesco is a priest, lifelong dream of his.
But not everything is a bed of roses for him, as he approaches the middle age, he gets a new temptation: Forming a family.
It first starts as a dream, a faraway fantasy during his lonely sinful nights. A house of his own, a warm chimney, children running around and playing, and a wife.
A fruitful, Proverbs 31 woman, submissive, silent, who wears ankle-length skirts, knowledgeable in the word of the Lord and ready to appease her husband any moment, never talking back and nodding silently, the kind of woman his mother was, and her mother before her.
That is when he meets Maranata, he meets her at a Doctorate-level research he was invited to.
Maranata, with her long hair, long skirts, makes pasta from scratch, read the Bible forward and Backwards.
But also a woman of world, someone who studies, prepares and bites back, a woman that does not stand for injustice and won't take disrespect.
What will be more important? His clergical vows or his ideals of the perfect woman?

Rightly do I love you by IrisCleverole
Fandoms: Conclave (2024), Conclave - Robert Harris
23 Nov 2025

Summary
Thomas had been mesmerized by that gaze since the very start, when the Holy Father, then Cardinal Vincent Benítez, had looked up at him in that small room in the Santa Marta, hands clasped gently in his lap, with nothing to his name but a few official documents. Thomas had felt his heart skip a beat when those kind yet strong, unyielding eyes had settled into his own, Vincent’s lips quirking upwards just so.
At the end of the Conclave, Thomas Lawrence had thought the worst to be behind him. But, apparently, God wasn't entirely done with him yet. First, he'd had to deal with the late Holy Father denying his resignation. Then with Adeyemi and Tremblay nearly toppling the Church over. And now...now Thomas had fallen in love with the Pope.

Summary
She approached him then upon seeing his state, her face just a few inches away from his chin as she hooked her pointer fingers in the fabric and pulled him in closer by accident. With a featherlight touch, her hands straightened out the fascia for him.
After, she looks up at him with a teasing glint in her dark eyes. “Wouldn’t want you to come undone now. Would we, Archbishop?” She asked before patting down the sash and leaving without another word.
Or: Mandorff has a problem. A Sister Lillith-shaped problem.

“Who said anything about stealing? I’ve always been good at sharing.”
“Mhm.” Thomas reached for the cigarette and plucked it from Aldo’s lips, bringing it directly to his mouth.Thomas takes up smoking in order to deal with the pressure of the conclave.
