Summary
Sometimes, he thought, in the middle of dark hot nights where the sheets stuck to his skin and he could almost feel the devils closing in around him, he might have fought it off if Todd Aberdeen had been a good man. If Mrs. Aberdeen had been married to a good, kind man who loved her, and who she loved, maybe Zeke could have swallowed his feelings, kept an appropriate amount of distance from his beautiful parishioner, and stayed on the righteous path, secure in the knowledge that there was a place for him in heaven.
And then, in the belly of those nights, he would twist around in his sheets just the wrong way, feel a spark of friction, think of Prudence’s laugh, and know in his bones that there was no power that could have stopped him from loving Prudence—not a good husband, not a kind man, not G-d or the Devil himself.

i was born sick by benedick | miracle workers (zeke/prudence)
this episode was so painful. this fic leans into that, feels more grounded than the show.
