Summary
That’s what had stung the most about Thomas’s accusation all those weeks ago. It wasn’t that it was true: This, he had always known. It was that Thomas had finally seen right through him, that Aldo had so thoroughly shattered the false image his friend had of him.
or: i put Aldo Bellini through the meat grinder of guilt and shame and then slap the flimsiest bandaid on the wound at the end because i am a good catholic...?

Summary
“Are you trying to learn how to dance?”
Lawrence turns pink. Aldo’s caught him.
“No,” Lawrence stutters, “Well - yes. The Holy Father has requested … for the royal wedding ...”
Aldo’s heart squeezes. He ignores it, the foolish thing. “You don’t know how to dance?”
“No,” Lawrence says, despairing, “Of course I don’t know how to dance, Aldo, I’ve been a priest for forty years.”

Summary
Ray knows of Thomas' crisis of faith. Frankly, it wasn't that hard to deduce. After the conclave, however, the real possibility of Thomas moving to some monastery overseas becomes not so far from reality anymore. In the middle of trying not to lose someone he holds dear to it, Ray also starts taking notice of his own changing feelings regarding the man.

OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. this is canon to me. at first i was so concerned that aldo was transphobic because him of all people. but it's internalized homophobia. it's because he's scared he might not be a sin like he's always thought. oh my god. and theyre so well written. and they love each other so much. and the LAST CHAPTER. and how fucking PERFECT the aceness of their relationship is put. aspec thomas i love you. aldo i love you. this bookmark is getting too long but OH. MY GOD. THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL. I AM CRYING.

Summary
Innocent is looking out of the window as though he can see something more there than the blackness of a howling winter night. “I find myself wishing for his guidance.”
“If it is of any comfort,” Aldo tries, “He trusted Thomas to steer the Church through the Conclave. He was sure of his integrity like he was of no one else’s here. And Thomas has complete faith in you. You can be sure of his counsel.”
“I know I can. He’s been a blessing.” At the mention of Thomas, Innocent had brightened, but there is something searching in his expression when he looks back at Aldo, like he hadn’t quite gotten the answer he wanted.
Or: Aldo and Vincent discover that they have some things in common.

Summary
“No, I just… didn’t know you were attracted to men.”
Thomas freezes, and Aldo wants to kick himself. Attract. It’s a heavy word, one that does away with the pretense of plausible deniability. It’s one thing to think a man looks good, another thing to want to do something about it. Aldo knows all about that.
“I-” Thomas starts, then stops, swallowing. It’s as if he wants to choose his words carefully, but is caught up in the sheer exhilaration of finally letting himself be known that only liquid courage could have given him. After a minute of silence he settles on: “Not just men."

Summary
All Thomas could think to say was 'I love you.' Those unspoken words that had been festering between them for so long. He didn't need to say them. Aldo knew. It had been their understanding since they met. They loved each other and yet never once uttered the words. Now, they were all Thomas could think to say.
I love you, Aldo Bellini. I love you. I love you. I love you.Thomas hears that Aldo is feeling sick so he shows up at his apartment to comfort him, and the trajectory of his future - and their relationship - changes in an instant.

Summary
“I can’t make sense of it,” Aldo murmured against the heel of Thomas’s hand, still pressed against the side of his mouth. “How is it that I know, in my bones, without a question or a shadow of a doubt, that I’m an ordained member of the Catholic Church - and yet I am just as certain that I belong to you.” He paused to consider this, as if he had not just flipped Thomas’s entire perception of reality upside down. “I don’t understand how that makes sense.”
“It doesn’t,” Thomas whispered, his whole body straining towards that point of contact, and the sensation that he was taking in small sips of the universe for the first time in his life -

Summary
It was a morning like any other: early Roman summer, hot and humid before 9am, and Aldo had just turned towards him across the cafe table, to remark upon the news or to quote a bit of poetry - Thomas was absently noticing how Aldo could wear a white shirt on a hot day and it only made him look crisp and tanned - when the thought crystallized in his brain as clearly as if God had typed it out on a typewriter and set it there.
Thomas recognized that he was merely the vessel of a truth like this, and the truth was already in him; he could no more deny its existence or stop its progress than he could halt the path of the sun in the sky.

The Pope’s right-hand men pull an all-nighter, helping each other find a semblance of comfort before finally settling down to sleep, only to discover by morning, a newfound accidental kink, courtesy of an ill-advised decision involving how to tie a fascia.
