    Summary

    “Well, she was right, even if you are feeling poorly now. We’ll get you some toast later on, when you’re feeling up to it again.” She feels the need to reinforce this, otherwise she fears he’ll take away the wrong lesson. Unfortunately, at the mention of food, he pales again.

    “No. No need. I’m never eating anything ever again.” he says, his face lined with pain.
    ------------
    Alec Hardy doesn't usually eat anything at all. It's just his luck that the one time he does, it's gone bad. It's up to Ellie Miller to look after him.

    Summary

    “She won’t mind.” BJ says it with such incredibly certainty that Hawkeye is baffled. No married couple is just that in sync, not even couples as healthy and close as BJ and Peg, which means that they’ve talked about this, which is so bewildering that Hawkeye has to take several mental steps away from the thought before he starts to do something stupid, like get his hopes up. “Come on,” BJ goads, like he can tell exactly what’s going on in Hawkeye’s head. “What’s the worst that could happen?”

    Hawkeye should probably be embarrassed that that’s all it takes to get him to consider it seriously, but BJ has always managed to have that effect on him.

    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.
