Summary
Once upon a time, Perpetua was a music teacher to an ill teenage girl. It's been twenty years since then, and he's never forgotten her. Just as he's psyching himself up to get through his workday despite the upsetting anniversary, Storm appears with a curious letter in his hand. It's a letter to him, Perpetua, that was never intended to be sent or read, baring a soul that he'd thought had been extinguished some time ago.
Now he has to deal with the repercussions of opening that letter. Despite whatever doubts he might harbor, the resolve in his heart forces his own hand into actions he never anticipated taking.

Summary
Papa V Perpetua/Reader
You share an intimate moment with Perpetua just before his ascension ceremony, and it shapes your relationship to come.
As Frater's assistant, you try to heal the twins' fractured relationship, while the Senior Clergy continue to manipulate behind the scenes.
Even with the privilege of your position and all the secrets you had learned from Sister, you were unclear as to where Perpetua had been hidden as a Cardinal, or as a child. Gossip flitted through the offices and abbey about Poland and Romania, while others whispered about him being plucked directly from Hell. Only the College of Cardinals knew, and you wouldn’t trust them to tell the Clergy the truth about the weather.
Slow burn, romance, mature/explicit

Summary
Perpetua has known for decades that his twin brother is a sentimental dork. After showing up with a new 'companion feeder' (because that's what they're calling pets these days), Copia has been fangs-over-heels for her in the most sickeningly obvious way. Good thing Perpetua has never had any desire to have a pet. Lets just cross our fingers and hope that the Human Distribution System doesn't have a wild sense of humor, shall we?
