I NEED a sitcom style show of the cardinals, nuns and Vincent post conclave
Like I’m talking modern family style
Thomas and Vincent making eye contact as Thomas slips the fisherman’s ring into Vincent’s finger. The whole world is watching, but they only see each other.
Thomas kissing Vincent’s hand, and deliberately missing the ring, instead his lips land on Vincent’s knuckles. It feels like a promise.
While they speak of loyalty and faith, their minds are both filled with the actual promise they are making. In sickness and in health.
They both wonder if in another world, the ring would be smaller, chosen by them. They wonder how this ceremony would’ve been if the world wasn’t watching. Perhaps there is a universe where they choose each other, where the ring symbolizes more than the service they give to God.
Neither of them ever mention it. As they live a long life, side by side, the only intimacy they are granted is the lingering of lips against fingers and long looks above desks.
Thomas, who was the one to put the fisherman’s ring onto the hand of the pope, who has spent years praying that his death will fall before the pope’s, has to hold back tears as he removes it. Tears are running down his face in silent mourning when the hammer hits the golden ring. Another conclave is imminent.
got so high I got scared and had to get out of the car to calm down and a coyote immediately sprinted out of the underbrush and stalked towards me

Me when my parents are yapping to me about Conclave cause they’re religious and love the way it portrays the different sectors of religion but I have 12 ao3 tabs of Lawrenitez open on my phone
Buff Lawrence lives rent free in my head.
I need something to happen like he falls into a fountain or a fellow cardinal gets hurt and Lawrence takes off his shirt to staunch the bleeding, either way he takes off his shirt in front of everyone especially Vincent and the press.
I need Twitter to freak out and stan accounts about the hot Cardinal with the six pack. I need Vincent to visibly short circuit on camera and for some mid-20s college grad Catholic guys to seriously contemplate their sexuality and the possibility of priesthood as a career path over investment banking. Those hot priest calendars in Rome have a new addition for the coming year.
I need American Conservative Alpha-male podcasts to be putting this 75 year old man as a the face of Red-pill content only for the Vatican to release a statement denouncing them. Thomas is somehow responsible for a large amount of men abandoning red-pill content.
Thomas is mortified and does not want to know anything that is going on while Aldo is ecstatic. Ray and Sabbadin, who both have a Twitter account are following this drama religiously. Tedesco posts a photo of when he and Thomas were younger in a “he isn’t gay, look at him helping me when I was the victim of a car bomb” and it’s Thomas carrying him bridal-style. (Vincent is very jealous)
I cannot write a full fic for the next two weeks due to my schedule so this is my contribution to the fandom. May you feast on what little I can offer 🍝.
i'm so pro-divorce that i forget myself sometimes. a guy on the elevator was telling me unprompted about how he got divorced on friday and apparently "nice congrats" was not the correct reaction
