Summary
The first apostolic exhortation of the new papacy.
Lawrence has laboured, these last few weeks, under the impression that their argument during the conclave represented the regrettable but necessary lancing of a boil, from which his and Bellini’s friendship had made a remarkable recovery. He is at a loss to comprehend how he could have misjudged the situation so catastrophically.

Summary
"Hang on, Duncan, I'm just coming in." Jimmy tucked the phone into his top pocket and nudged the boat alongside the mooring. She kissed the buoys with a gentle bump and he jumped onto the quayside to tie her off. He dug out the phone and pressed it to his ear, regretting wasting Duncan's thirty precious monthly minutes. "Sorry, sorry. You were saying?"
"About my release day, aye. I've been thinking it might be best if you weren't here, after all, to pick me up."
Jimmy swapped the phone to his other ear, the landward side, because Duncan suddenly sounded muffled and far away, despite the lack of wind coming off the sea. "Come again?"
"I said, it might be better if I make my own way after they let me out."

Summary
But then Rodney would stand close to him, or be unexpectedly kind, or do something stupid and heroic, and John’s entire body would shout him, that one, Rodney McKay, him. Like the world was a candy store where John could just point and say I’ll have the genius with the big blue eyes and Rodney would be his with a bow on.
*****
John did not ask to sprain his ankle, to be reassigned to the best quarters in Atlantis, or for Rodney McKay to become his new neighbor. But that’s what happened. Post-series.
Here’s wishing callunavulgari a very Merry Christmas. She gave me a detailed letter with lots of avenues to explore. I was struck by “domesticity” and “a slow, lazy kind of jam that just makes me happy.” Here’s my attempt at that. <3
