    Summary

    An alternate universe in which Fleabag is a wedding planner, and Klare and Claire have found the perfect Catholic church to get hitched in...

    "Do you want some of the communion wine?" he blurted out, wanting her to stick around for a little longer. "I can't throw it away because it's holy," he explained, "and I probably shouldn't finish the bottle by myself. It's a good vintage."

    She cocked an eyebrow. "Is this the part where I say 'Sorry, Daddy, I've been a bad girl'?"

    He coughed and nearly dropped the bottle. "'Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned' is more traditional," he managed, fishing out two glasses and pouring them both a liberal serving.

    Summary

    It was late on a wet Tuesday evening. The priest was curled up in an armchair with a glass of whiskey and a second-hand paperback copy of Great Expectations for company, when his phone lit up and buzzed against the coffee table.

    Unknown number: are you still awake?

    He stared at the screen in puzzlement for a moment before replying.

    Me: I am, who is this?

    Unknown number: the hot brunette with the nice arse from the bar last Thursday

    She attached a somewhat tasteful, fully-clothed photo of herself, taken at an imaginative angle, looking over her shoulder into the lens with a knowing twinkle. The priest was forced to agree with her self-assessment of her attractiveness and the quality of her arse.

    Unknown number: I've got a bottle of limoncello and a value sized jar of coconut oil, want to come over for a memorable evening?

    Shifting uncomfortably in his chair, he blinked a few times and very firmly suppressed the urge to reply in the affirmative.

    Me: I'm afraid you've got the wrong number, but I hope you have a lovely time.
