    Summary

    He’s not spent six years hanging his whole hat on sailing halfway to Dunkirk, he’s not plagued by the sound of Spitfires in his dreams. He thinks he’s rather moved on from all of it, as much as he can, and the guilt that hits him, when it hits him, is momentary, fleeting. There and gone like those moments when you’re alone, in the dark, and it occurs to you afresh that one day you’re not going to wake up, and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it.

    Usually he can bottle it up, store it away inside him somewhere it won’t come rolling back out if he can help it. He can’t today, only half his mind on Aristotle.
    The other half of his mind thinks the boy’s eyes were green.
     

    [Or they learn when survival just isn't enough.]

    Summary

    He’s too drunk to think about what he’s doing as he thumps against the door three times with heavy fist. Too drunk to think about what the time is or whether anyone’s followed him. God, that’d be the money shot wouldn’t it? Harry Styles stumbles home to Radio 1 DJ, Nick Grimshaw’s flat in early hours of the morning.

    Summary

    Harry knows that he and Nick were meant to be. Just not yet. They've got time for that, yeah? They can be all Ed Sheeran, "we found love right where we are," old and boring together later.

    When this certainty collapses in the blink of an eye, Harry struggles to come to terms with a life in which he could lose Nick, in which no matter what he sacrifices, Nick might not wake up.
