    Summary

    When Thomas Lawrence came by the papal apartments that evening, he came, unsurprisingly, with a bundle of papers under his arm.

    Vincent tried on and discarded four separate teasing comments about it, but didn’t get to decide on one before Thomas silently handed them over, and he realized they were newspapers, opened and refolded over the weekly comics, his favorite. Three of them, one for each week he’d been away.

    Ah, he thought, with the feeling of a sudden hard deceleration in his chest, the press it put on his heart. Ah. All right then.

    Summary

    “Well, there’s really no way to sugarcoat this, no way to – so I’ll just say it. I should’ve said it – but we’re not here to rehash, the past, right? So, Pete. I’m your dad.”

    He doesn’t know how long he sits there, trying to breathe, hands shaking, heart pounding, hands sweaty. It’s not true. It can’t be true. Peter Parker isn’t – he’s Peter Parker. Not Stark.

    This is true: Peter Parker was born on August 10, in Queens. His mother was a grad student and his dad was—

    His dad was—

    Peter sits up. Takes a deep breath. His eyes are wet but he can’t remember crying.

     

    You’re my kid, Peter.

     

    He thinks he might be sick.

    Summary

    “Who knows the Emperor’s mind better than his wife?” Csevet asked. She looked up at that to fix him with a pointed look, and he flushed slightly. “Well. That would be a whole other degree of scandal. They will accept thee, Csethiro. It is not permanent; they need only recognize thee as speaking for the Emperor until he is recovered.”
    “Thou’lt help?” she asked him, a pleading note in her voice.
    He only gave her a small smile again, as if he had an idea of what she was thinking. “Of course, Highness.”

     

    Maia is incapacitated for several weeks after being poisoned. Csethiro, with Csevet’s aid, keeps the Empire running while he recovers.
