What’s a replacement/substitution story?
It’s not! I don’t think kinard liked Judith romantically; it was the devon & judith who liked each other (kinard also knows/confirms this bc he gives Devon a ring that Judith probably wanted to give her. The stone is alexandrite (?) which I think might be related to Devon’s middle name or something. Anyway it’s complicated but basically I’m sure kindard + judith were mostly friends c: idk about the marriage tho they don’t go into detail about it tbh. But stuff becomes clearer later in the story (I’m bad at explaining stuff)
It’s when someone uses someone else as a replacement for someone who’s not available anymore. In the case of this story, kinard using louis as a replacement for Judith (he doesn’t actually though.. it just seems this way but stuff gets cleared up, or at least it does for me)
I haven't read it yet but this is not a substitution story righhht?!
