Fics like Sincere Heart, Righteous Prayer

God, capital-G, to Nicky is pain and fear and desperation. He exists in the people crying out in the middle of a searing hot desert, desperately clinging to the smooth wood of the rosary as pleas for forgiveness and salvation are ripped from one’s throat. He exists apart from the world, merciful and cruel and unforgiving. Allah, to Yusuf, is… creation. Beauty. Allah is the blood-red sun as it hits the sand dunes in the early morning. Allah is honey-sweet baklava and family dinners after missions. Allah is Yusuf and Nicky, together in life and death and life again. Or: An exploration of belief, prayer, and immortality, because religion is more complicated than we think.
