    Summary

    Jud walks along the side of the road for at least half an hour, dressed in yesterday's vestments, underprepared for the slowly-thawing October morning, before a familiar Mercedes pulls alongside him.

    He's been praying the whole time, which is the only reason he doesn't immediately chuck a rock at one of the doubtless-expensive windows. He wonders if Blanc deduced the perfect moment to arrive somehow, through some calculus of emotion or some sort of fantastical hearing aid trained on his breath.

    Maybe Jud is just that predictable. Just that mechanical. Just that controlled by the obvious tendencies of his human flesh.

    "I was wondering if you might perhaps be in need of a ride back to your parish, or if you're still working on the god part of your forgiveness."

    "God forgives." Jud sighs. "It's not up to us to work for it."

    He reaches for the door handle, and carefully doesn't look at Blanc who doesn't quite hide his satisfaction.

    OR

    Jud Duplenticy doesn't really have any friends. Nobody he's not bound to by obligation. Maybe in another world, Benoit Blanc could fill the role. He certainly keeps coming back to visit. But for some reason, he refuses to open up to Father Jud.

    Summary

    "...is it terrible that I'm almost relieved?"

    Blanc looks confused for a moment by the non sequitur. "Relieved...about what specifically?"

    "All of it, I guess. That it's done. I was so terrified and now it's just— all the things I imagined, they happened. Nothing left to be scared of."

    Blanc hums. "After the weekend you've had, I think you're well within your rights to be glad it's over with."

    Jud shakes his head. "No, Blanc. Not this weekend. I've been terrified for years, my whole life maybe. I didn't— I never felt good. Like a good priest, or a good man at all, really. And now, it's like...I don't know the answer, but it doesn't matter. I don't have to prove it anymore."

    A conflicted look passes over Blanc's face. "You never did, Jud," he says quietly.

    “Road to Damascus,” Blanc says, tone businesslike.

    “Gethsemane,” Jud replies.

    Summary

    Father Jud's lack of sleep is beginning to bleed into daytime consequences. Not only can he not afford to sleep for the dreams that will haunt him there, he can't afford to keep dropping things and snapping at shadows. He has an assistant pastor to worry about now, not just a congregation to care for on his own. That means he has to ask for help.

    Summary

    His first mistake is not picking up the phone. 

    In Jud’s defense, it’s been a long fucking day. And not one that he’s keen to recount. 

    He’s kept the damn thing turned off for most of the day. As a rule, he stays fairly available on Sundays, but—well, extenuating circumstances call for extreme reactions. Thankfully, he had kept enough of his head after Mass to force a shutdown instead of what he wanted to do, which was to hurl it against the wall and watch it shatter into a million tiny pieces. 

    Night is young, though. 

     

    Or: A Wicks truther comes after Jud in the middle of Mass. He's fine. Benoit disagrees.
