    Summary

    Pokémon professors, as far as Diantha was aware, had to be open to debates and discussions. Many of the breakthroughs of the last few decades, including those Augustine had contributed to, had come about after periods of skepticism, of long, drawn-out explanations regarding both results and circumstances. Scientific progress usually involved, after rigorous experimentations, some convincing. Demonstrations and whatnot.

    Despite this, there was apparently no proof good enough for Professor Augustine Sycamore when it came to admitting that he was owed a break.

    Aldo Bellini, the newly elected Dean of the Sacred College of Cardinals, is thrust into a situation which will forever alter his views on faith, the world and his fellow Men in Christ—especially a certain aggravating Venetian Cardinal with a bad temper and a worse attitude.

    Brilliant, genius fic. Contrasting tedesco and Bellini within the setting of the supernatural and forcing them to solve problems together is so much fun and so complex and so unusual. It's just great reading and the characters all rock. The ghosts and demons? Terrifying. I genuinely love wvery word and can barely wait to read and read and read

    Summary

    Tedesco is searching Bellini’s face up and down in stupefied frustration, making a discovery he’s missed a hundred times before, lower lip twitching, hopelessly trying to fish out useful words. At first Lawrence is tempted to say Aldo’s audacity infuriates him, but the rage comes too late.

    The truth is, it doesn’t seem like it wants to come out at all.

    Then Tedesco’s face colours, oddly pinkier than usual. “... Eminenza Bellini.

    Cardinal Bellini blows the smoke back. Cardinal Tedesco, much to his chagrin, is stirred.

    Summary

    "James had died knowing that his heart, the core of his very being that no biographer would ever know, would carry on in Francis Crozier. Would be protected, cherished even, because Francis deemed him worthy of such care.

    Oh, how he had loved Francis then. He had been at peace with this being his last living thought.

    It’s his only thought now. In this undead life, his love has nowhere to go."

    I will relate in these pages such lurid and sensational goings-on, as I had cause to observe during my tenure as a steward on board HMS Priapus, which I hope will serve both to stimulate the Reader, and to warn him as to the mode of life enjoyed by the officers of the Royal Navy, who are the sons of gentlemen and gentlemen themselves, tho’ the Reader must himself judge, whether they deserve the name.

    “Sometimes,” the Don continued, “when I was with a woman, you know, I thought I heard you outside the window, making noises. I let you think I didn’t hear you, to spare what little dignity you still had. But when I was with men, I still heard you sighing. And that gave me some very interesting ideas… Oh, don’t turn away and be coy with me. I know you’ve had such thoughts, Leporello – haven’t you?”

    Summary

    Standing on the poisoned ground of Chernobyl, Boris and Ulana watch helplessly as the car drives away from the makeshift courthouse. They watch with their hearts in their throats and their stomachs in their shoes as the KGB drive away with their comrade in tow. Not "comrade" in the Party sense of the word. They'd perverted it. If telling a truth that potentially saved lives was punished like this, they'd perverted it. They perverted everything.

    But what else was there to call it? They'd never dared name the strange shape that had formed around the three of them. Between them. Through them. A year in the crucible of Chernobyl had changed them inexorably, as the accident would change everything for kilometers around it and for years to come.

    And now they were split asunder, just as cruelly as they had been fused together.

    "Where are they taking him?" Ulana asks, staring up at Boris with wide, lost eyes. She looks shell-shocked. Horrified. I did this,her face says. I told him to tell the truth at all costs, and now he's going to pay. Just him. It should be me.

    Summary

    Valery has fallen in love quickly and foolishly with men like Boris before, so the act hardly registers. He is already there, drowning his folly in liquor, and he has no expectations or even shame. Shame at something so small seems meaningless in the face of Chernobyl. What is idle, fruitless desire for an untouchable man when plumes of ionized smoke still pour from gutted rubble to blacken the sky?
