    Summary

    For a moment, Jud could almost pretend he really was in costume, and this was a party he’d go to, and the man in the angel wings was his boyfriend. And he was taking him home.

    His brain sounded off alarms: Danger. Dangerous path. Walk that thought back immediately.

    "Forgive me," he thought desperately. "Forgive me, Father. I don’t mean it."

    But even as he said that to God, his lips found Blanc’s ear, whispering an even more desperate "please".

    Summary

    He's still staring at the lit end of Blanc's cigar. "Can you put that out on me?" is what falls out of Jud's mouth, barely cognizant of being spoken. 

    Blanc chokes.

    Summary

    The one miracle to come out of all this was Benoit Blanc. Jud had assumed the detective would solve this case and move onto the next one, vanish out of Jud’s life with the same abruptness as his arrival. And he did disappear, often and swiftly, with few niceties or goodbyes.

    But then a few days later he’d suddenly reappear: be it at hearings where Jud would have otherwise had to battle the tedium of bureaucracy alone, or online, posting statements to cushion some particularly devastating blows against Jud in the media, Benoit Blanc kept cropping up when he was needed the most. 

    Or,

    An exploration of the "one year later" gap, from the moment the diamond falls from Martha's hand to the moment Jud pulls Blanc in for a hug.

    Summary

    Benoit was fourteen when he was finally shipped off to live with his grandparents, given the attic room and not knowing if or when he’d be allowed home. Decades later, with a successful career and a recent divorce under his belt, a certain priest’s bedroom brings back memories of a cramped room and newfound freedom.
