Remembering the devil who fell up to earth in Fledgling Grace had me trying to think of a prompt for that series. And that led me to wondering if a fledermaus was intentionally, consistently nice - would they be given credit for it? Or would people look for ulterior motives, as they would not for more typical "church folk".
And for any series you think it would fit: Atticus Finch at one point says that "a bible in the hands on one man can be more dangerous than a gun in the hands of another." (Might be misquoting slightly; I didn't look it up.) Church-folk can and will use their rules as rigid walls, no matter who it hurts. That particular sort will drive their children away if their pastor tells them to, and feel righteous about it as they do. They not only don't think for themselves, they consider it a virtue. Devils, on the other hand, are all about breaking the rules. So what of church-folk using rules to do harm, and devils breaking the rules to repair the damage?
