Summary
From the moment he first stepped out onto the balcony in St. Peter’s Square as Innocent XIV, Vincent Benítez knew that the days of his papacy were numbered. And yet, when a costly mistake forces him to resign, he doesn’t come prepared for the grief the loss of his office causes him.
Thomas Lawrence naively liked to think that he wouldn’t live to see the end of Innocent’s papacy. He never could have imagined that he, of all people, would be the one responsible for it.
Lost and with their hearts filled with both guilt and unexplored desires, they struggle to navigate the shambles of the life they knew. They find refuge in a place where they least expect it – an old, ramshackle farmhouse in the middle of nowhere, that’s just as desperate for love and forgiveness as them.
Or: The one where Vincent and Thomas get the retirement they both deserve and finally allow themselves to love each other.

Summary
Crowley left something of his in the Bentley's glovebox. It wasn't intentional, no matter what Aziraphale might think. But he is more than willing to go along for the ride.

Summary
Aziraphale has books and sheep to keep him company on his isolated mountain farm. He's resigned himself to being past his prime, without any prospects for a partner and family. Yet when Crowley blows in from a storm, asking for work and hiding the past they're running from, Aziraphale feels more alive than he has in years as he grows hooked on them. But the farmhand job is only a temporary placeholder until Crowley moves on. It wouldn't be wise to hope for more.

(Look you see enough pictures of bearded Sheen with cute farm animals and videos of lesbians shearing sheep, and this happens. Horny shepherd shenanigans.)

Summary
Jud Duplenticy was aware the new pope meant change for the Church - it isn't until he, a humble parish priest, gets invited to a mysterious 'Meeting of Young Religious' that he not only learns what that actually means, but makes friends along the way - and learns that faith can look different for everyone.
A week in the heart of the Catholic Church - how much of an impact on his life could it have, really?

Summary
There is light, and his hands are warm. The beads of the rosary are… wood, smooth and fragile under his fingers. Hail Mary, full of grace. Vincent feels… he feels soft, and small, as if his body was tenderly cradled in the palms of a giant being made out of gossamer, old linens and woollen socks. He snuggles in between the folds of his memories and feels the giant rumble with murmured speech, the language foreign to his ears.
(Do you think he is… Let me check. Your Holiness?)
(Oh, let him be Alexander. Our old man deserves to close his eyes if he wants to.)Or:
It is the end of the year in the Vatican, and above anything else, Vincent Benítez wishes for rest.Bookmarked by reignsaintclair
