I'm a big fan of well-done body horror, and this is just brilliant. You don't often see body transformation fic done this realistically.

Thank you so much!

This is excellent! I love the mystery and darkness of it, the potential for who knows what lurking at the edges. The imagery is wonderful as well They never gave you the whole story

*shivers*

Thank you so much!

And that's totally an instance of a line gaining much greater significance with context. I was drawing on my own memories of being a little girl stuck in a pew with a missal that had the lectionary readings for each week. You didn't get the whole story! Maybe 10-20 lines! It was an outrage, for reals.

Oh, nifty! The ache of it all comes through, and equating it with the pain of kneeling in worship is interesting. I can't help but think that Faith's outsider status is cemented now. Poor gal. the better she is, the harder she tries, the farther away other people get.

Seriously. And that's an insightful reading.

Thank you!

This is lovely. I always think of Faith as Catholic. Probably because she's supposed to be from Boston?

My favorite were her memories--love little girl Faith getting bored because they don't tell her the whole story, love her going to chapel in prison.

She breaks my heart. Thanks for this fic.

I always think of Faith as Catholic, too!
