Fics like lover, you can lean on me (i can lift you higher)

For better or worse, Alyssa believes in God. She’s unsure if it’s because of how she was raised, or if it’s simply a side effect of growing up in Edgewater, but much of her early years are dominated by church and Sunday School. It’s ingrained in her that nothing could be worse than being seen as a sinner in the eyes of God, that worship is a wholesome endeavor, that being a good Christian matters. So, Alyssa tries to be good, tries to say thanks for what she has been given, to keep her head down and never step a toe out of line. For the first part of her life, there was never a reason to challenge any of the rules she set out for herself, any of the rules her mother or the church seemed adamant about, but, things change. Alyssa grows older, and her existence doesn’t seem like it has a plan at all; she finds herself looking to build her own life for the very first time. She finds that worship doesn’t just have to happen at the altar, that perhaps the greatest form of it is that little thing called falling in love. (Or, a study of Alyssa's relationship with religion and how it changes before, during, and after canon.)
