The light will catch, and then, remaining, she will understand. The sorrow of the world, his fingers, rooted in the stone. The coldness of the soil. The blood.
There have been a lot of funny Purgatory 2 moments, but Aimsey and Quackity's reaction to the "floating gun" incident is definitely one of my favorites.

Summary: Kurt's becoming a little less orthodox.
Notes: This is part of my Mormon!Klaine universe. It takes place during Out of Eden, which I am still in the process of posting to AO3. I’m planning to post it as part of an upcoming chapter. I don’t think it’s too spoilery, but it’s up to you whether you want to read it now or wait until it’s on AO3.
“Did you mean that? What you said to the kids at the beginning of the lesson?” Blaine said as they pedaled side-by-side through Klenzepark on the way back to the apartment. "About love being more important for family happiness than the priesthood?”
Kurt didn't say anything for a moment. “You don't think so? I thought, with what you told me about your father…” He drifted off, as if unsure whether the secrets Blaine had whispered in their bedroom about his unhappy family could be repeated outdoors.
“I do think so. I just didn't think you thought that. It's a bit of a departure from what we usually teach—that they're both essential to the Plan of Happiness.” And then, because Blaine was worried pointing that out might put Kurt on the defensive, he offered a piece of himself that he’d never shared with anyone else. “My dad would get so impatient with fathers who didn’t have the Melchizedek priesthood. Sometimes, he'd get to talking about men he counseled who couldn't quit smoking or whatever, and he’d get so solemn, and he’d say, ‘I can't see how they really love their families if they refuse to bring them the blessings of the priesthood.’”
Kurt was silent for another moment. “I’ve thought that myself sometimes. But I was wrong.” They passed the water fountain and kids playing and trees in bloom—Blaine wished he knew what kind of trees they were, because they smelled like the sunshine that surrounded them. “I do believe love is enough to make a happy family,” Kurt finally said. “But I didn't realize I did until I said it.”
