    Summary

    Three Cardinals, one Dean, a torn tassock, and a chess game

    1990's: Milano, two exceptionally young cardinals archbishops, bound by the still unfamiliar weight of their red mantles, spend a final evening in the sultry (lol apologies for writing this... I was most likely drunk af) embrace of a Milanese summer. Reckless and unguarded, their friendship (right) deepens with each passing moment, they grasp at fleeting freedom, unaware that the foundations of their defenses are already being laid by someone else's hand.

    Summary

    “You are not well,” Salvador returns. “You are overflowing with…” he pauses to search for the word and he finds it, “grief. You’re grieving. It has hollowed you out.”

     

    “I have nothing to grieve for.”

     

    “You’re lying, Thomas.”

    Summary

    "Was warm."

    Clint hummed like he already knew, because he probably did, pressing a kiss to Noel's head and being forced to let go of his hand to wind his arms around his back. "So 'm I."

    Summary

    Beyond the window, the sunset caps the rolling waves gold. A sticky, hazy light that creeps and clings and smears. In Ed’s hair, at the borders of his body, slipping through his necklaces and his silk and his burning black eyes.
