Tips for Business Start Ups: introducing the Patron Saints of Business Start Up

Every religion has its God(s) and every human activity has its own patron saint to pray to: if you’ve lost your car keys, a prayer to St Anthony can help you find them. If you’ve joined a lost cause, best pray to St. Jude Thaddeus and if you’ve recently opened a coffee shop and can’t find your customers, a call to St. Drogo (patron saint of coffee house owners) might put you back on the right…

Hey kind of a weird request but since it’s Sunday and y’all will (hopefully) be going to Mass: please pray for me; I have to set sleeves into a costume today and I’ve never done it on a human scale before. I’m pretty nervous and I can’t afford to mess up because I don’t have any extra fabric for this costume. Specifically if you can, pray to St Joseph (my patron saint and the patron of this blog!) and St Homobonus, the patron saint of tailors. Thank you!

I was looking through an index of saints to see if I could find a funny answer which is how I found out there's a guy called "St. Homobonus".

He's the patron saint of tailors and clothmakers primarily but I think you should invoke his name anyway because it'll be funny.

who is the patron saint and protector of twinks?

So the entire time I was going to school full time and suffering mental overload I kept thinking about who would be the Saints for each chapter, and who’d be Saints for Wade and Peter... sorry this is so late, but I finally have it all written out for you guys,, but seriously GO READ THIS IT’S AWESOME!

SAINTS FOR EACH CHAPTER:

Chapters: 16/16 Fandom: Spider-Man - All Media Types, Deadpool - All Media Types, Marvel Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Peter Parker/Wade Wilson, Spider-Man/Deadpool Characters: Peter Parker, Wade Wilson Additional Tags: Getting Together, Getting to Know Each Other, Mistaken Identity, Secret Identity, Identity Reveal, Sex Worker, Prostitution, Self aware Pretty Woman AU, Pretty Woman References, Misunderstandings, Lies, Humor, shopping montage, Hotel Life, Galas, gate-crashing Summary:

Peter is desperate. Hungry and alone on the streets, he's ready and willing to do anything to change his situation, even if just for a night. And sharing a stranger's bed would be no hardship, especially when the alternatives include dumpster-diving for dinner and sleeping, arms wrapped around him, beneath a chilly and indifferent sky.

Then a man named Wade Wilson steps into his life.
