I know very little about 19C Ireland, but I would definitely be up for this! You'd get to make interesting gender roles and discussion about sin and women sinning via sex and redemption, and Javert can be derailed and redeemed by the Mother Superior's sexiness. I think there are lots of non-gendered parallels that can be drawn between Javert's strict adherence to man's laws and God's laws, and Sister Obedience would be All About God.
Also setting it in this feminine milieu, you avoid the problem of having female characters either take on men's roles in patriarchal pre-suffrage 1800s or deal with crossdressing? Which might have been your issue with the otherwise awesome fic referenced above, idk
