Authors note: uhhh idk what I'm doing ngl. But I have had a fan fiction idea stuck in my dumb noodle. So if you have any advice to making this look not crappy let me know. Also, this series will probably take a bit of time for updates, because I want to make art for each part and I l have a bit of projects I'm already working on. Anyways, enjoy.
P.S., The title is a take on the translated meaning of "meliora". Y'all probably know that tho

The ghouls are determined the absolute lowest of the low of the clergy, this idea being drilled into their heads by Secondo. However, Secondo retires today.

However, this treatment and acclaimed lack of importance was all in accordance to Sister Imperator, and especially Nihil's son, Secondo, who was the current Papa and owner of the ghouls. Emphasis on “owner”. He treated them like dogs. Drilled into their heads how replaceable they are. Since he currently owned them, he could treat them however he'd like. And if it was in an abusive and neglectful manner, then he could do so. Sister Imperator approved of this treatment, often praising him for such “discipline” and “taming” of the “feral beasts”. The ghouls were silent, did their chores, wore their uniforms, and played extraordinarily like - no, because - their life depended on it on stage. Despite their hellish power, it was useless against the clergy. They held a firm spiritual grip on their throats, weakening their ability against whoever had summoned them from The Pit.
In every aspect apart from supernatural and musical ability, the ghouls were significantly inferior to the human members of the clergy. They were the lowest ranking group. During ceremonies and masses, they needed to sit in the very back, a row apart from the human attendees. In some cases in which there was not enough seating, they either stood, or some opted to sit on each other's laps. They ate last if they were not forced to hunt their own food. They shared one room, the closer friends or lovers lying on top of each other to save space. Social anxiety was not an option for the ghouls. It was a necessity to be social and physical with one other to live somewhat comfortably. Otherwise, if you were a ghoul, you would be sleeping on hardwood and filter feeding.
Today was another ceremony in which the ghouls were cramped in the corner of the nave, sharing a single but long enough pew for every ghoul to sit comfortably on except for Alpha. A taller fire ghoul, he stood to the side, having given his seat to the shorter earth ghoul, Pebble. How kind.
This ceremony was definitely one that would spark such selflessness and kindness into the ghouls tormented souls. Perhaps it would change such an adjective to describe them. It was the passing of the torch of papacy to the cardinal, the youngest of the Emeritus brothers, whom of which they were not allowed to interact with until this event. It was the same for Secondo when he was a cardinal. It was a gamble not knowing what he was like apart from the rumors of him being a bit on the feminine and immodest side. But they had no choice but to bid for their well-being. It was either that or The Pit.
A silent wave of people rising to their feet pushed through the room as Sister Imperator, Nihil and Secondo entered the front of the large hall, coming to a stop in front of the long altar. The altar was topped with a new mitre, some candles, bread, and deep red wine. The ghouls scowled as Secondo took his place beside the mitre, in front of the microphone. How they hated hearing his voice. It brought nothing but negativity.
“Good morning, brothers and sisters…” Secondo spoke with a low grumble. His mismatched, dull eyes flicked to the back of the room.
His eyes returned to the large group of humans, not being able to help himself to not find a way to demean the ghouls.
“...and ghouls.”
“Today is a day of empowerment. Of glory to our congregation, message, and cause. And me.”
The humans chuckled humorlessly, as if prompted to do so at his unfunny quip.
“Although I do not think anyone could perform this position as effectively as I could, I must retire. And, as my brother before me, the reign will be passed down to a younger face, one who may forward the word *almost* as good as I. My dearest brother.”
Secondo extended his robed arm towards the door. All heads turned in that direction, and in stepped a shorter, black haired cardinal Terzo. He looked so much younger and different than his older brothers. He was wearing a black, purple and gold robe, taking on a much flashier and poppy look than Secondo and Primo had. Secondo visibly cringed at this, not making much of an attempt to hide his disapproval. Sister Imperator at least faked a smile, and Nihil gazed as if he were not there mentally.
Terzo seemed thrilled. He wore a cocky and quivering grin on his face, his black, leather gloved hands decorated with golden nails clasped together. He stepped slowly and deliberately before coming to a stop next to his brother, bowing his head slightly. Secondo audibly sighed before speaking again.
“It is with… great honor, my brother, to bestow upon you…”
He turned to gently lift the mitre, hovering it over Terzo's head.
“... The title…”
Terzo closed his eyes as Secondo placed the mitre on his head.
At the last word, the congregation broke into applause, something the new Papa relished in as he extended his arms and bowed. Some of the ghouls clapped, while some remained cross-armed, which encouraged the more enthusiastic ghouls to quiet down and mimic them.
“Of Papa Emeritus III.”
“I trust that you will follow in my footsteps, brother,” Secondo spoke again, shooting Terzo a glare, “and bring even more power to this ministry than I did.”
“I like my own footsteps, brother.” Terzo spoke with a grin.
Terzo simply nodded. Terzo was certainly a more animated character, showing lots of deliberate body language. He strided to the microphone, dismissing Secondo with a double flick of his hand. The ghouls smirked at this. He drew a breath before his thick Italian accent filled the room.
“But thank you. And thank you, people.”
He extended his arms again, gesturing to the crowd.
“For being here on such an important day. Not just for me, but for all. I am not one for speeches, so let's cut the bullshit, yeah?”
Terzo turned and picked up the plate of bread, pushing his robe out of the way. He muttered something unintelligible under his breath, something about the robe. He then slowly snaked around the room, gently placing the bread in each person's mouth using his thumb and index finger, almost in a sultry manner, no matter what gender the person appeared to be.
Then, Terzo made it to the back of the room. He avoided any sort of acknowledgement of the ghouls, his eyebrows knitted upwards underneath his minimalistic skull paint as he quickly moved past them. He repeated this process for the blood, spoke a bit more, and then dismissing the congregation to go about their usual duties.
“Excuse me! Excuse… me.” Terzo shouted as he jogged down the row, his confidence faltering as he got closer to them. He completely misunderstood their size, his confidence chipping away with each step that slowed into a timid creep. They were massive up close. Even Pebble, the shortest one, was at least 5 inches taller. He couldn't understand where the idea of weakness and inferiority came from. Maybe where they were from.
The room quickly shuffled out of the grand double doors, murmuring voices echoing as the room grew emptier. Terzo brushed off conversation with Sister Imperator and Nihil, shuffling through papers and books underneath the altar to appear too busy to talk. When they disappeared behind the halls, his focus shifted to the ghouls at the other end of the nave.
Terzo's eyes were understandably drawn to the two biggest ones, who seemed to protectively take a step forward in front of the others. Although their expressions were hidden behind their black masks and hoods, Terzo could feel the unwelcome tension between them. Terzo had never been exposed to a ghoul before.
“Do you… speak English?”
No response.
“Italiano?”
A tilt of the second biggest's head.
“Er… Svenska?”
The fire ghoul looked up at the biggest ghoul, who's uniform had a bold quintessence symbol at the right part of his chest. He returned the look. Their eyes showed an understanding of one another, sometimes widening and narrowing as if they were speaking telepathically. The quintessence ghoul looked back down at Terzo and puffed his chest out.
“Any.”
Terzo was a bit taken aback by the ghoul’s voice. It sounded like a human. A Swedish accent, medium pitched. Terzo nodded, breathing out.
“Ah, good, good… I prefer English myself. Do you have a preference?” Terzo asked.
“No.” The ghoul responded simply.
“Ah… Alright. What is your name, ghoul?”
“I do not have one.”
“That's no good. None of you?”
“No.”
Terzo tilted his head, his lips parting as he studied the ghouls with a confused expression. The ghouls returned the glance.
“Why not?” Terzo finally asked, unsure of what else to say.
“There is no use.” The quintessence ghoul responded, showing no hint of emotion.
“Elaborate, ghoul. I cannot understand you if you do not explain.” Terzo said, a hint of playfulness in his tone.
“Someone taught you that well, eh?” Terzo chuckled. The quintessence ghoul tilted his head up, a glare of annoyance entering his eyes. Terzo's fake smile fell off his face.
“You do not need to understand. We play for you, we serve you. That is all that matters.”
“Alright. Well… You seem to be…” Terzo stated before tilting his body to look at the other ghouls, who had huddled behind the quintessence ghoul at some point, “... The big guy of the group. Are you busy?”
“Come with me, quintessence ghoul. Your friends are dismissed.” Terzo said, doing his best to sound unthreatening. The fire ghoul immediately ushered the rest back, and they scurried out of the door. The fire ghoul looked back at the quintessence once before disappearing around the corner. Terzo drew a shakily breath, gesturing with his head for the remaining ghoul to walk with him.
“No.”
Mutt
Dew and Rain mouth fucking drabble, might write more where it shows what happens during but eh we'll see
Rain was on the bathroom floor, practically forced on his knees with fingers in his mouth, Dew stood in front of him, fingers moving alongside the water ghoul's tongue with a teasing smirk staying on his face.
"Gonna show that dickhead you belong to me." He hissed, shoving his fingers harshly into the ghoul's mouth as he moaned, he nodded around the digits drooling practically.
Now, you're probably wondering how he get into this situation? Well, it was simple.
*The ghouls were out having a night of fun at a local bar after a long night at a ritual, they were having fun dancing, drinking, socializing and even meeting fans.
Somewhere along the night Rain had wandered off, a bit tipsy and wanting to test things out. He locked eyes with Dew knowing exactly what he was going to do, he smirked daring and tempting, and made his way across the bar.
Instead of heading to Dew he made his way up to a handsome guy, Rain sat down next to him teasing and flirting glancing over at Dew every now and again, tempting and daring him.
The fire ghoul growled getting fed up and stalking up to Rain grabbing his arm harshly and pulling him away from the guy he was flirting with.
Rain sputtered confused, protesting as Dew dragged him to the bathroom, "Dew? What the hell are you doing?" He pulled at his arm growling being forced into a bathroom stall and forced down.*
Which is where we are now, the water ghoul was on his knees with Dew's fingers in his mouth as he drooled around them, "Look like a fucking mutt down there Rainy." He hissed, "Think you can get off with flirting that's not me?"
Rain whined drool seeping from his lips, he managed to get out a muffled "Please Dew." Before Dew pulled his fingers out, "Keep your mouth open." He demanded snarling.
The water ghoul nodded, keeping it open as told moaning as Dew slid his pants down to reveal himself, "Gonna use your mouth since you wanna run it so much."
Rain nodded, letting his tongue fall out as a silent request, moaning loudly as Dew slid into his mouth. Oh, he was going to lose his voice by tomorrow and he didn't regret a damn thing.

Have you, perchance, considered regressed Alpha? Reliant on Omega, clinging to his side because he's the only ghoul that makes him feel safe?
Oh I love this idea, have baby Alpha with Cg Omega and mentions of other ghouls!!
Cw/tw? Baby Alpha (0-2), mentions of bottle feeding, the nickname "daddy" used in a nonsexual way!
Alpha,when he does regress, he's usually very small with a baby-like mindset. Omega always notices before Alpha does, the way he stands and talks is a tell tale sign that he's slipping, which usually shoves Omega into a caregiver mindset.
When he does regress he usually can't walk, so Omega carries him everywhere with little effort. Alpha loves it and is always hanging onto him in some sort of way, not that Omega minds at all since he loves to carry his baby everywhere with him.
Alpha has a onesie that has little campfires all around it, Omega got it for him as a gift and Alpha adores it. He has others to wear but this one is special to him, since Omega got it for him with his own money.
Alpha usually doesn't like to be around others when he's small but sometimes he'll let Mist or Ifrit around him if Omega is busy, Mist always loves babysitting the small flame and is constantly playing games and sneaking snacks to him when Ifrit isn't looking.
If Mist and Ifrit are busy Omega will take Alpha with him to his office where he'll sit and play with toys and blocks while Omega works, there's a designated play area for any little who wants to hang out with him while working.
Sometimes Alpha will get fussy and cranky and Omega will have to calm him down and rock him in place to soothe him. "Daddy's here, little flame. I got you, we'll watch a movie after I'm finished working." And that calms him right down, Omega loves how well behaved he is sometimes.
Omega loves to spoil Alpha a lot, usually buying toys or little gear for the small ghoul. His most recent item was a custom bottle that Omega had ordered, he won't use any other when feeding but Omega doesn't mind at all.
On the topic of feeding, Alpha gets cranky if he's hungry and tends to throw a fit if he wants something. Omega will have him cradled in his arms and stay there with the bottle until the fire ghoul is finished, always making sure to burp him afterwards so he doesn't get an upset tummy that night.
When it's time for bed the little one is always changed into a soft onesie with his favorite stuffed animal and a pacifier, cuddling away on Omega's chest until the two of them fall fast asleep wrapped in each other's arms.

Can you tell he's my favorite? Hope you enjoyed<3
Thoughts on sick freshly transitioned Dew?? Need some hurt/comfort rn!!!
Hells yeah! This one is big Dew<33
Cw/tw? Fresh Fire Ghoul Dew, hurt/very little comfort. It's more of a mini fic than thoughts really
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Dew's transition happened it felt like he was drowning, the water from his lungs were ripped away and replaced with a fiery burning sensation and it hurt. He would lay awake for days in agony as he begged for someone, anyone to help him get rid of this feeling.
Aether felt horrible for him, I mean seeing his mate in a constant state of agony and pain hurt him too. He wanted to help him, to help ease the burning that his droplet was feeling, but he couldn't help no matter what he tried or did. He felt the pain too, the feeling of burn coursing through his body and lungs as he would lay awake at night.
Ifrit would feel bad for them both, seeing both of them in pain hurt a lot, but he knew he couldn't do much to help except offer comfort. Ifrit hated the way Dew would heave and gag and cough of buckets full of water, it pained him to see it.
Ifrit also hated how Dew would scream and beg for the pain of his gills to subside as they closed up and scarred, forcing the former water ghoul into constant pain. Dew was constantly screaming as he clutched his neck, unable to breathe properly without his gills.
It took weeks upon weeks of work for Dew to fully function on his own, the elemental transition nearly killed him. He didn't look the same, he was weak, paler, scrawnier and near skin and bones. It hurt everyone to look at their once precious water ghoul, especially Ifrit.
One particular night though Ifrit and Dew sat up having a conversation about how things were different and Dew broke down into tears about how he was afraid to lose Ifrit and Aether, hours later and the two were curled up into each other as Ifrit reassured him that he'd never lose them. And that's what happened, until Ifrit withered away into nothing but smoke and ash.
Dew and rain fluff? Doesn't matter what is it just them being cute
Thanks bestie
AH MY FAVORITE COUPLE EVER!! For you bestie I offer you some sweet ideas on them!!
Rain and Dew are definitely the type of couple to have stupid arguments and insult each other in mean ways but they know the other is joking, if someone else insults the other then both of them are going after them.
Dew claims to hate cats but the moment Rain brings home a kitten he's all over it, they have a cat together!! Dew calls him shithead but his actual name is Casper.
They have date nights every friday where they pick a movie or show to watch and they just binge it for hours at a time, many snacks and tissues are eaten and used that night.
If Rain is having a bad PoTS episode Dew will hold his legs in the air so the blood can start flowing again, Rain loves it.
Rain also has really bad sensory issues so Dew always keeps a ton of safe foods and drinks in his room for Rain to eat if he doesn't like dinner.
Dew has a really bad stutter and Rain finds it adorable, Rain is the only person Dew will allow to make comments about it.
Dew proposed to Rain underwater, Rain cried, Dew nearly drowned from choking cause he felt like he made Rain sad, Rain cried again.
Eventually when they retire they own a ton of cats, maybe they even have a few kits but that's neither here nor there.
"Oh Phantom has a mommy kink!" "Ifrit has a mommy kink!!" "Swiss has a mommy kink!!" ALL OF YOU ARE WRONG. ALPHA WITH A MOMMY KINK, JUST HEAR ME OUT.
Omega fucking Alpha hard during a rut and Alpha letting it slip, Omega finding it hot and thrusting into him harder while feeding into the scenario Alpha has in mind.
"Oh mommy please, I'll be a good boy." And Omega's breath catches in his throat as he groans, hands gripping Alpha's hips harshly. "Yeah? You want mommy to knot you, spark? Is that what my baby boy needs?" And Alpha fucking loses it.
His moans becoming louder and more broken as Omega fucks into him, nodding harshly and pushing against his mate for more pleasure and friction. "Uhuh, want mommy's knot please? Can I have it? Please mama?" Omega bites down as he reassures the fire ghoul he'll get what he needs.
I dunno, may turn this into a full story if the people demand it, but yeah, mommy kink Alpha<33(Edit:Full story is posted)
Yeah yeah, Mutt you already have so many stories you need to finish!! Shhut the fuck up!! Hear me out!! Ghouls who were created instead of summoned!!
Cw/tw: Death, torture, pain, cannibalism, general ickyness so be careful reading this.
Quintessence ghouls were forced to cannibalize the former in order to gain their magic, it was the only way it would work. You'd have to consume the older one whether you liked it or not, the magic turning process hurts and it takes up to hours to complete, but this was the only way.
Water ghouls who were either drowned or water boarded with unholy water, they needed their lungs to be coated in it before they could turn, it was agonizing pain and it wouldn't go away for days.
Earth ghouls who were buried alive in order to connect to their element, they would be tied up so they couldn't claw their way back to the surface. Only after they turned would they be dug back up, shaking and confused with no memory of what happened.
Air ghouls who had their breath ripped away by being smothered or choked, they would thrash and fight but they wouldn't let up until the change was over. Some even have trouble breathing to this day because of it.
Multi ghouls who would go through a mix of every process until the church was satisfied with the results, some even going through multiple rounds of one method in order to have a dominant element.
Fire ghouls who were burned alive in order for their skin to become tough and resistant to the heat, they wouldn't stop until they were charred all over their body but only then would they be forced into an ice bath and scrubbed down to remove the coal and soot off their body.
Hot take that people are gonna crucify me for. Dewdrop needs a more fire-related name. Something badass like Alpha and Ifrit had. I propose Conflagration because of his personality, Torch, or the Archaic definition for Fervor (intense heat)
It feels wrong to call a fire ghoul by a water ghoul name, that’s why I call him Sodo and not Dewdrop
You're right but also I respect the unmasked person's decision of not liking that name but I understand why you call him it, I've heard some people call him Ember and I think that's cool asf
Begging and pleading on my hands and knees for an Ifrit board please and thank you
My heart burns for you
Do you guys think Aether loved Dew like a poet, how he wrote the fire ghoul pages upon pages of descriptive poetry and bables and hid them away just waiting for the right time to give them to him.
Do you guys think Dew went to clean out Aether's now empty room once he was sent back just to find the box of poetry and letters hidden underneath his bed, do you guys think Dew hates himself for not telling the quintessence ghoul how he felt sooner.
Cause I do, I think about it a lot.
Self Indulgent Sodo's art bc I love him a loooooooot <3

-brother corvid
Can you write something about the ghouls adopting a child reader?
30 minutes from the church was a small town, it’s mostly full of family of siblings of sin and is a big tourist destination. The ghouls rarely enter the town but when they do it’s usually at night and during October(for obvious reasons)
The ghouls at found you on and old ritual site in the woods. It’s was used long,long ago in a more violent way. The person or persons who abandon you must have believed that you would be kill by the ghouls.
How ever the ghouls live children and are often seen having family affection to who ever needs it.
The ghouls bring you to the clergy and beg for you to stay. They say they’ll take care of you and won’t harm or traumatize you.
The ghouls are good at taking care of you! Sure they can be a bit rough and kinda childish at times but they love you
