Hello Conclavers!

I present to you a humble offering—the first of hopefully many for this fandom:

under his white cloth,

Pairings: Queerplatonic!Lawrenítez, Platonic!Bellinítez

Rating: T

Language: English

Relevant tags: Angst and Hurt/Comfort, Survivor Guilt, Panic Attacks, Romantic Friendship

Plot: Two weeks after the conclave, Vincent’s anxious feelings about his election come to a crippling head.

PREVIEW:

The brutality of war, where such sacred objects hold the impermanence of a speck of dirt, will never leave his body. He flinches at every loud noise and sudden movement, and with each waking minute, he can only think of the flock he left behind because for some reason, the people here believed in him.

He wants nothing more than to go back. He wants nothing more than to leave this restrictive post—this prison—and return to what he once knew. Worse yet, he wants this to the point of wondering if he should have declined the papacy. Yes, it would have been sinful—an act of selfish cowardice—but isn’t leaving innocents to die even more of a sin?

————

Comments are highly appreciated! I hope you enjoy this one-shot as much as I enjoyed writing it!

vincent “no one will know the violence it took to become this gentle” benitez. i think. something something.

I'm obsessed with the fact that they were looking for clothes for him all over the Vatican, and the smallest size turned out to be a little too big for him.

He is so tiny😭

The people running the games are very powerful, but does anyone else remember that we've known since the second episode of S1 that they aren't all powerful, that they don't know everything?

During the montage of recruitment clips they showed before the first game, they announced that Sang-woo had a debt of only about ₩ 600 million. In the second episode, Gi-hun questions Sang-woo about it, and he learns that Sang-woo's actual debt was about ₩ 6 billion.

That's a factor of 10 difference! That's pretty huge!

To which Sang-woo tells Gi-hun - and by extension the audience - that the people running the games don't know everything. They just act like they do.

They act like they do, because acting like you're all knowing and all powerful is a great way to intimidate people out of fighting back.

But the games are run by liars. Of course they'd lie about this too.

They don't know everything.

They can be beaten.

And that means Gi-hun is right to have hope that they will be taken down.

Grief broke him.
