liriaen
Title: Alberto mio
Rating: NC-17 / Mature
Word Count/size/length: 7.115
Characters: Albrecht Dürer, Cesare Borgia, Micheletto da Corella, Giorgione da Castelfranco, Giovanni Bellini and assorted others
Pairings: Albrecht Dürer/Cesare Borgia, Cesare Borgia/Michelotto da Corella (hinted)
Warnings: dub-con, violence
Summary: A provocation on piazza San Marco, a brawl in a Venetian pub - where will it ever end? In the fraught autumn of 1494, some people will learn a lot about themselves: discover new weaknesses, new strengths, and (possibly) newpositions perspectives, too.
Author's Notes: There are quite a few historical incongruities which I can't be bothered to eradicate since they are the actual premises of this story (starting with the timing, because even if Albrecht *did* travel to Venice in the autumn of 1494, which isn't altogether established, he would have been there around October which, for the purposes of Cesare's (entirely fictional, of course) embassy, would have been too late. More in the footnotes at the end.
There are many brilliant lines, but if the following doesn't catch you I can't help you. :D

The church really needs reform, he thinks for all of one fleeting moment, if he can have the Cardinal of Valencia squirming and kicking underneath him. But such ideas evaporate as their tangle tightens and their bodies dissolve into one, or none, or nothing at all.
