. "You don't talk about Abigail in this much." Benoit Blanc held up Jud's written story. "But she's the first one you look at in a room and you're the first one she moved towards." "Abby has nothing to do with this. She's a- She's been through a lot, with her father and the Monsignor." Jud reasoned. "I don't wanna drag her into anything else." The Detective laughed at him. "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. The arrival of Father Jud, a priest with a violent past and an unexpected gentleness, unsettles everything. Where the church demands endurance, Jud offers breath. 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)

The Thrombey family is known for their immeasurable wealth, but it all stems from one person... Harlan. The great murder mystery author supplies his family with all of the money their hearts could possibly desire, but that doesn't stop them from wanting more. The night of Harlan's birthday, he winds up dead. At first, is it thought to be suicide, but after a thorough investigation... it's ruled as murder, and everyone is a suspect. Everyone from his daughter Linda and her husband Richard, his grandson Ransom and his girlfriend Hasana, and even his nurse Marta... whose name he left in his will to inherit absolutely everything that was once his.

For a long moment, he said nothing. Then, quietly, almost ashamed of the sound of his own voice, he spoke. "Please," he whispered. The word cracked. "I didn't mean to go there again." His breath shuddered. He swallowed hard, "I know what I am. I know what lives in me. I thought I had buried it. I thought You helped me bury it." His eyes burned now. Tears slipped free and he didn't wipe them away. "I didn't stop," he went on, voice breaking. "I didn't stop when I should have. I wanted him to hurt. I wanted it." He closed his eyes, forehead lowering. "I know that's not You," he said. "I know that wasn't You moving through me." This story remains faithful to the characters and narrative established in the film, carrying forward their defining traits and conflicts. Into this fragile equilibrium enters Maeve; a new presence; calm, quietly confident, and emotionally literate, walking on thin ice, whose quiet doubts and choices begin to fracture what was meant to remain sealed. Author's Note The first two chapters are deliberately slow and atmospheric, meant to establish the setting and emotional undercurrents of the story. (Might seem dry and nothing really happens there, so I made them as short as possible). The main plot begins to take shape from Chapter Three onward. Based on the film Wake Up Dead Man: A Knive Out Mystery.
