    Summary

    "The heart can learn to love, but a nation destroyed by war cannot wait for the heart to make up its mind."

    The war lasted one hundred years.
    The peace had lasted three, but Fire Lord Zuko was losing it.

    The ministers brought him solutions he did not want.
    "Marry," they said. "Bind the south to the throne. Give the people a future."

    Zuko had spent his whole life fighting against puppet strings. Now they wanted him to pull someone else's.

    He refused.
    Until he met her.

    Summary

    Vincent Benítez stepped onto the sidewalk, taxi driving away. He looked at Thomas and offered him a kind smile, which made his stomach do an unknown little flip.

    “Good morning. You must be Father Lawrence, I presume?” Benítez asked. His English carried a certain accent. Spanish, perhaps?

    “I – Yes…Welcome to our parish, Father Benítez.”

     
    (Or, what happens when Father Lawrence asks for some help from above and the Lord decides to deliver it in the form of a handsome Mexican priest.)

    Summary

    When Father Vincent Benítez arrives in Geneva on a summer afternoon, he is at the lowest point of his life. Four months ago, a fateful diagnosis turned his world upside down, shaking him, who devoted his entire life to serving God and the Church, to the core. Lost and left alone with the ruins of the life he once knew, Vincent struggles to search for both himself and a way to reconcile with a God who seems to have deserted him. Little does he know that he will find solace and answers where he least expects it – in a clinic, in the office of an aging doctor who, too, has his fair share of trouble with God and the past. And little does Dr. Thomas Lawrence know that the quiet, skittish priest he catches himself falling for against all reason and principle is destined to one day inherit the throne of St. Peter.

    Or: The AU in which Vincent Benítez decides to fly to Geneva and meets Dr. Thomas Lawrence.
