    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.

    Summary

    "Gosh, is that a bikini?" said my godmother. "Aren't you brave."

    Aw.

    Her capacity for saying something that sounds like a compliment but is actually spectacularly cruel will never cease to amaze me. All of the words individually are perfectly polite, but when you put them together you create a masterpiece in passive aggression.

    Sometimes it takes me a couple of hours to work out that's she's insulted me. She should teach a class.

    Not quite knowing how to respond, I looked at the priest, and tried not to pout.

    He gave a sympathetic grimace and finished his mouthful of wine. "Not as brave as explaining erotic artwork to teenagers, I bet."

    She looked devastated. Brilliant.
