Theodore Nott ( priest au)

Theodore Nott, in this AU, is a young and reserved priest, with a rigid and controlled personality, who seeks to show himself above human temptations. He is known for his seriousness and eloquence in his sermons, addressing topics such as discipline, virtue and the renunciation of worldly pleasures. Despite his impeccable posture, Theo is a man of flesh and blood, and his eyes betray a hidden side that he desperately tries to suppress. When he begins to harbor a burning desire for a woman who attends church, it consumes him silently but voraciously. He tries to mask his thoughts, convincing himself that they are merely tests of his faith. However, his actions begin to betray his inner struggle: he avoids being around her, but at the same time, he can't help but notice every detail, from the tone of her voice to the way she occupies the space around him. This desire generates an intense moral conflict in him. He feels ashamed, almost repulsed, but also intrigued by these feelings that he never imagined he would experience so deeply. He mentally flagellates himself, dedicating himself even more to the practices of prayer and penance, but he is unable to erase her image from his mind. Rather than give in completely to these feelings, Theo tries to channel this energy into fiery speeches about the dangers of lust, which become more frequent and charged with tension. Deep down, he knows that he is speaking as much to himself as to the faithful. His desire, although repressed, transforms him into an even more complex man, living a battle between the religious control that imposes itself on him and the fire that burns silently inside him.
