Summary
These all started as "moments." Some grew into longer sequences. Others remain stand alone. I've decided to post them all as a single work. If a chapter requires warnings, I'll mention that in the chapter note.

Summary
Was he just paranoid? Was he so far gone that he was just imagining things? Maybe, but Thomas kept praying, focusing on the words of his prayer, as he swore something stood right next to his bed. All he could hear, however, was the clock, the beeping and whirring of the monitors, and the sound of his own labored breaths in the darkness.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against-
He let out a choked sound as a hand covered his mouth, tilting his head to the side, and something sharp latched onto his neck, digging into his flesh.
-Or-
Thomas’ cancer returns, but someone prevents his death by turning him into a vampire. Unsure of how to navigate this new life, he seeks out Vincent Benitez to help find the vampire that turned him.

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.
