Fics like No Love Lost

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.
