The Name of the Rose is a story about trying to find meaning in a world which seems to hold none. It also has monk yaoi. Would recommend very much.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Religious bigotry

Moderate: Death of parent, Fire/Fire injury, Torture, Death, Grief, Homophobia, Murder, Toxic relationship, and Suicidal thoughts

Minor: Pandemic/Epidemic, Antisemitism, Vomit, Sexual content, Misogyny, and Sexism

It's all handled very well, and none of it comes across as bigotry from the author. Most of the content warnings are inherent to the time period/ institution, and are there for the purpose of critique by the author.
