    Summary

    The thing about giving something up for lent is, unfortunately, that you can't just push it away and pretend to ignore it. You're supposed to think about it—about your choices. You're supposed to actually reckon with them, not just wait for Easter so you can go back to whatever you were doing before without a second thought.

    And what were they doing before?

    Jud gives Blanc up for Lent.

    Summary

    Could Blanc tell what Jud has been doing just from his breathing alone? And, if he could, well… why hang up? He's already embarrassed himself enough. He could end the call in shame and then, what… ignore the inevitable worried return calls? Answer the questions Blanc is sure to have later or just… speak up now. He wills himself to just say something. Anything.

    Chimney Rock is in the middle of a heat wave, the power is out, and Jud can't sleep.

    Summary

    Jud says it like it surprises him. Like the words crawled out of his throat without permission, falling off his lips in a gasp.

    Benoit's hips stutter, breaking his rythm for just a moment. His ears snag desperately on the words as the hand on Jud's hip tightens and he stares. For a fraction of a second, their eyes lock and Jud is beautiful, and flushed, and… horrified. As quickly as Benoit's heart had caught, it sinks.

    Jud says something he can't take back.

    Summary

    There was a new one.

    Grace felt him before she saw him—sensed his eager, flickering energy as he stepped onto her grounds. He was more excited about being there than anyone had a right to be. But he was nervous too, and that was more justified. She felt his energy curdle when her—when Jefferson cornered him. He wasn't happy to see this new face here, either.

    And wasn't that interesting.

    Jud makes an unlikely friend.

    Summary

    "For one thing," Blanc says, "you chose a life with very clear rules. Rules about what you can and can't do… Rules about what you can and can't want. And yet…"

    And yet… You invite me into your rectory. You come to my hotel rooms. We do things you are definitely not supposed to be doing, Blanc doesn't say.

    "Here you are," he says instead with a smirk. "Long after midnight. Drinking your own communion wine in your own church. With me."

    When Blanc interrupts a quiet night doing inventory in the sacristy, Jud uncorks a bottle of unconsecrated sacramental wine. And then another. A conversation about priestly celibacy gets a little out of hand, and Blanc gets much more than he bargained for.

    Summary

    "Hello, all!" Francis said cheerfully, and looked around—it seemed that taking his trip to brush his teeth beforehand had made him the last to arrive. "Where should I sleep?"

    "You're over here, Father," Hawkeye called, gesturing to the cot that was beside his own. "We drew straws for who'd get stuck snuggling up to who for body heat. And you," Hawkeye teased, "not being here to defend yourself, drew the short one by default." He was grinning crookedly at him in that way that always made Francis' face flush all the way up to his ears. Thank goodness for the frigid wind he'd just come in from that was surely offering him some amount of plausible deniability.

    A freezing night and yet another fuel shortage means another night of huddling up in The Swamp.

    Summary

    The idea of letting Blanc do this somehow felt almost… more and less intimate simultaneously. But the idea of being left alone was even more unbearable than any potential embarrassment it might be at war with, and so he'd finally managed a cracked:

    "Okay… yeah…" He dared to meet Blanc's eyes, feeling like he'd already been stripped bare before him for days. What was one more step in the direction of the literal?

    After everything is over, Blanc brings Jud back to the rectory.

    Summary

    "Broken how?" BJ asks. The words are hoarse, barely above a whisper.

    "By stopping the thoughts in their tracks. With force, if necessary. By surrendering the control you're clinging to so tightly. My personal opinion," he repeats, the words precise and weighted, "is that you need to stop thinking for the next hour. Do you think you can do that?"

    After a horrific multi-day push, BJ struggles to forget the faces of the patients he lost or to quiet his thoughts long enough to sleep. Sidney offers him an outlet.

    Summary

    Hawkahy + a kiss to a scar, birthmark, injury, or other marking for ScuzBrains

    Hawkeye is eyeing Francis with delighted curiosity, like Francis is a puzzle he's just discovered another piece of. There is almost nothing he wants more than for Hawkeye to stop looking at him like that, to stop drawing him in closer and closer, like he's a fly caught in Hawkeye's web. Nothing, except for Hawkeye to never pay such close attention to anyone else.

    Summary

    Hawkeye Pierce had been being passed around the 4077th like a god damn party favor all day. The indignity of it burned worse than the lingering sting in his eyes.

    In the weeks following the stove explosion, the 4077th scrambles to adjust — some treating Hawkeye with kid gloves, and others unsure what to do with him at all. But Margaret Houlihan isn’t coddling anyone, least of all an insufferable Captain who’d rather trip over his own pride than ask for help.

    Summary

    When their jeep breaks down in the middle of nowhere on the way back from a supply run, the worst thing Hawkeye could say is, most likely, "At least the rainy season is over!"

    He and BJ take cover from the storm in a makeshift tent, and there's not a lot of room in an army jeep. Tensions rise and burst.

    Summary

    His heart was pounding in his chest as he stepped closer, almost afraid to touch the damn thing — as if it were going to jump out and bite him.

    He couldn't believe what he was looking at. He couldn't believe Hawkeye.

    Summary

    Donna attends a gala with Charles while deep into her third trimester. Sure, I Love Lucy may have made it more socially acceptable to be out of the house in her state, but her peers seem to think doing so at an event like this is a bridge too far.

    When her confidence falters under their scrutiny, Charles and Hawkeye are quick to bolster it.

    Unlike Peg, Hawkeye doesn't write him back.

    Summary

    Todd Brotzman was born with a rather special gift, but it wasn't from anyone in particular. It hadn’t arrived in a box, nor was it wrapped up, or even something he could hold in his hands. There were no instructions, no manufacturer’s warranty. It just was. The terms of use weren't immediately clear, nor were they of immediate concern.

    Another thing to know about Todd Brotzman was that he was in love.

    Dirk Gently was, once again, in the wrong place at the right time. And it seemed like this time would be his last.

    Summary

    “You still with me?”

    “Yes,” Dirk confirms. “I am here, I am present, and I am enjoying the soundtrack to your teenage angst,” he says with a practiced wink, glad for the sharp laugh he gets in return. “I’m pleasantly surprised so far actually,” he continues. “I haven’t been shouted at once!”

    After finding Todd's old iPod while packing up his apartment, Dirk is taken down a nostalgic musical memory lane. Todd's past being what it is, however, it goes about as well as can be expected.
