    Summary

    "The crown suits you, you know," said Ser Duncan over the cacophony, and brought Baelor back to himself. "Makes you look... you know. Kingly. Which I suppose makes sense, given that you're the king now." A look of anguish crossed his face. "Oh, hells, I shouldn't be calling you 'you,' should I? It's 'Your Grace.' Please don't take—"

    Baelor resisted the urge to rest his hand against the lad's back, as one might soothe a skittish horse. "No offense was taken, ser."

    "Thank you," Ser Duncan said, then immediately amended, "Thank Your Grace...ness. Seven fucks, I'm getting another drink." And he whirled away into the throng before Baelor could say a word.

    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

    Aldo Bellini is still going through it. Somehow it is worse?

    This is a much longer fic about going on a journey with the man you love who you think is in love with someone else and you keep dreaming about the dead pope. God is still there.

    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.
