    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

    "‘Novak,’ Andy says, loud with exasperated affection this time. 'It's a kilt.'

    'Oh!' Novak says. After a moment, still tentatively running his fingertips over the loose folds of wool, 'that is not just Scottish for dress, right?'"

    The one where explaining kilts to Novak goes about as well as could be expected. (In the same 'verse as 'the coming of the fall' but can be read as a standalone.)
