Summary
Of course, Vincent has always known that he isn’t particularly… well endowed, in the same way that, standing at only 5 foot nothing, he’s always been a head shorter than other men around him. He’s also aware that he never developed as much as his peers in his teens, and that he’s always looked noticeably youthful for his age, even now into his mid-60s. And he’s never needed to shave even once in his adult life. But he’s never really given any of this too much thought until now, because he hasn’t seen cause for alarm. Everyone’s different, after all, and none of that had to mean anything. Certainly not when also factoring in his partly Indigenous Mexican heritage.
But this?
Before he really has time to register what’s happening, he throws up every bite of the banana they managed to coax into him back in post-op.
The doctor and nurses assume his nausea is a result of the anaesthesia he was given for his surgery. Vincent doesn’t correct them.
He never eats banana again after that day.*****

Summary
Thomas Cardinal Lawrence has prayed for a new Pope who doubts, a Pope who sins and asks for forgiveness and carries on. Instead, he gets a gentle, otherworldly saint who is far above the troubles and failings of ordinary men. Or is he?
The first twenty-four hours of Innocent XIV's pontificate turn out to be the best of Thomas's life, and the worst, and then the best again, and then the worst again… Because sometimes the Holy Spirit sends you certainty, and sometimes he sends you a rollercoaster.
As the wolves snarl and maul, the sheep quail and the sheepdogs scramble to retain control, Thomas learns that still waters run deep, and that friend and foe alike will underestimate this new shepherd of theirs at their peril.

Summary
Thomas is interrupted from his work - the first somewhat free Saturday since the Conclave and even if he's done a lot, there's still work to be caught up on. Then the pope calls and Thomas goes to him as he always does, leaving plans for seating arrangements and a lonely evening behind.
The Papal Apartement contains one (1) emotional pope and a cardboard box it does not usually contain... that sets off a series of somewhat unfortunate events (depending how you look at it).
