Fics like the drowning of innocence

True to the name of his papacy, Vincent Benítez is untainted, noble. He is not the ocean, but the river. A river that does not surge or waver, but persists to flow in its chosen direction, determinedly. Unlike the ocean, that fickle, turbulent goddess of Fortuna, he will do his duties and meet his due. But when Pope Innocent shines, into which shadow does the man Vincent Benítez hide? If it means he may comfort the loneliness of the river, it wouldn't be so bad to drown in it, Thomas thinks. (Thomas is drowning in his newfound love for Vincent, while Vincent is drowning in the loneliness of his position. They find each other—they drown together.)
