Fics like The penance

They call her La Esmeralda. Like the emerald, the uniquely colored gemstone, a rare specimen of beauty. The only woman who has been able to bewitch him. For several days, Claude has been going to the square of Notre-Dame in order to admire her, driven by what he long ago called an ecclesiastical and chaste look to the Lord. For beauty is what comes closest to God. One admires it as one would gaze upon a work of art, the splendor of a classical statue, a Renaissance painting. But that faint conviction is soon replaced by a disorienting and shameful feeling, which he repudiates with all his heart. And no matter how much he tries to ignore it, no matter how much he tries to avoid it, La Esmeralda is always there even when she’s not. (A psychological insight into a different Frollo than Disney's, more complex and troubled, as in the musical and the book.)
