"From where I'm sitting, she's in it either way." ~~~ IN WHICH, after her father's death, Abigail Calder remains tethered to a church that taught her obedience as love and suffering as devotion. Trapped between grief and expectation, she struggles to separate her faith from the man who shaped it, and from the Monsignor determined to keep her small.

Where others speak in certainty, he listens. What begins as guidance becomes a quiet act of rebellion: learning to stand, to feel, and to believe that faith does not require disappearance. ~~~ jud duplenticy x reader (PLATONIC) (wake up dead man) ~~~ STARTED: jan 1, 2026 COMPLETED: march 20, 2026 ~~~ #1 in wakeupdeadman (09/03) #1 in hotpriest (09/03)
