Summary
Philip ‘tsks’ and hands him a napkin. “It’s just mass, love. Nothing to get so worked up about.”
He doesn’t dignify that with a response until he’s mostly cleaned up. “Now, dear,” he says carefully, “if you want to go, you are more than welcome to do so. I, however, will be at home with Jelly watching our baking show.” He narrows his eyes. “Why do you want to go?”
“Curiosity mostly,” Philip says mildly. “I’ve heard so much about your priest in Chimney Rock. Why not pop in for a visit?”
Blanc sets his mouth in a firm, thin line and begins the spiel Philip hears every Easter. “It is an institution built on racism, misogyny, homophobia—“
“—traits you’ve been very clear Father Jud does not possess—“
“—you are being intentionally difficult—“
Philip huffs. “Love, I’m not asking you to convert. I just simply am feeling a little nostalgic for my choir boy days.”
“Then you go.”
“You two could catch up,” Philip points out, completely sidestepping his argument. “What’s he been up to since the murder?” For the second time, Blanc is left dumb. His husband waits a moment before quirking an eyebrow. “You haven’t kept in contact,” he more surmises than asks.

Patron Saint of the Lost Causes by Merrily_We_Along (Lovely__Days)

Summary
St. Jude Thaddeus: Catholic patron saint of desperate situations, hopeless cases, and lost causes
Jud periodically has this dream where he’s in a car that’s hurtling down the highway, weaving in between cars and swerving at sharp angles. He’s speeding towards an inevitable fiery crash. The obvious solution is to stop and try and gain control of the vehicle, but there’s a truck barreling behind him and he’s keeping ahead of it by a hair. Slowing down at all means an instant, devastating impact.
In this dream, he tries every solution he can think of. If he stops, the truck hits him. If he keeps going, he hits the median. He dies either way. Each way of dying is equally agonizing. He bleeds out while the car burns around him or he breaks his neck and punctures a lung, laying paralyzed while his lungs fill with blood.
The irony is that he’s at peace. No matter his decision, the end is the same. It used to frustrate him, but now there’s a serenity of things being out of his hands.
He’d told Langstrom as much before the man went to Rome and his face screwed up. “That’s not what I meant by surrender, Jud,” he’d chided.Bookmarked by halfanese

Summary
Monsignor Wicks decides to see how just how long Jud is willing to turn the other cheek. When Benoit Blanc arrives on the scene, he's left to put the pieces together and pick up what's left.
Or: Wicks's abuse is worse than in canon, and Benoit provides some much needed comfort.

Summary
In another universe, a much darker version of Batman has been holding Superman captive for a year.
In this one, Bruce was only planning to neutralize an interdimensional threat. He didn’t plan on a rescue mission. He didn’t plan to take home a hurt, broken captive who may or may not be a version of the Clark Kent he knows. But now that he has, he needs to figure out what to do with him without putting the whole planet at risk.
It takes Clark a while to realize he hasn’t just traded one abuser for another, more dangerous one.

Summary
Jack and Maddie Fenton have tried and failed to exorcise the powerful spirit inhabiting the body of their son. To make matters worse, he doesn't even believe he's possessed, and no amount of evidence can persuade him to accept reality. So, they do what any good parent would- they do their best to keep him safe and comfortable while they continue their search for a cure.
If that means keeping him locked down under 24-hour surveillance in an ecto-containment unit while they do that, then... well, it doesn't feel great, but he's their baby boy. And what else can they do?
Until they maybe, kind of, -accidentally- end up in maximum security prison for crimes against metahumanity, and then someone else has to take care of their son without them.
The good news is that the Justice League has a specialist.
The bad news is that Danny can't be cured.
The reason why is a matter of debate.
