Sunday Morning (LingOrm One-Shot)

This story contains major character death and focuses heavily on grief, mourning, loss of faith, and emotional distress following that death. There are no graphic depictions, but the emotional themes are intense and sustained. Please take care while reading.

Sunday mornings were once Lingling's sanctuary - quiet light, shared routines, a love that lived in small, ordinary moments. After Orm's death, those same Sundays become something else entirely: a measure of loss, a reckoning with faith, memory, and the unbearable task of continuing on alone.

This is a story about love that was gentle, certain, and deeply lived - and about the grief that follows when that love is taken away. About routines that become ruins, belief that erodes under the weight of absence, and the way survival itself can feel like a kind of punishment.
