"The Second Lotrips Thing Wot I Ever Wrote" by kiltsandlollies
for the lotrips100 “historical AU” challenge.

Dominic lives between blessings and burials.

St. Martin’s in the Fields has ever been a haven for the homeless, the friendless, the nameless. Dominic runs the church with compassion, care and currency, but has little left of the three at the end of each day.

They came in shivering, desperate and dirty, but in the candlelight their eyes were warm. Neither chose to pray, but both chose to sleep.

Dominic is lost now as he watches them. They cannot be much older or younger than he.

One he will bless, one he will bury. And over both he will cry.
