Religious guilt and shame are prevalent topics discussed in fan writings. This article indentifies tropes and motifs typical for fanfiction that deals with religious guilt, using one particular text from the GOOD OMENS (Amazon Prime / BBC Two, US/UK 2019–2026) fandom as a case study: "That This Could Be the Kingdom" (2019) by seekwill. The aim of this paper is to highlight a strong link in fan works between queer identities and sexuality, on the one hand, and the Catholic Church (as an institution), on the other. By overcoming the contradictions between what the fictional characters have learned is right and what they actually feel, these fanfictions address sensitive issues of queer (auto-)biographies. They may send a hopeful and powerful message to queer individuals conflicted by their religious beliefs, underline the significance of choice / free will, and contribute to current perspectives on religion in popular culture.
