    Summary

    There’s a kind of hidden desperation in each of their encounters, like this might be the last time they see each other. The chance of discovery, the reality that every day that passes means Julie’s one day older, the knowledge that this relationship can’t even exist outside of this building—it creeps into the back of their minds, bleeds over into their conversations, spills into their kisses and loving touches.

    This can’t last, so we have to make the most of what we have, they tell each other. Because getting a small slice of happiness with each other is worth the inevitable pain.

    or, Luke works at the HGC and starts a secret relationship with Julie, with all the danger that entails

    Summary

    “Some people on the internet have pointed out the way you look at him when you’re performing. Molina heart eyes, they call it.”

    “It’s not that different from the way I look at him when we’re not singing.” Luke turns to face her sharply and the host raises an eyebrow. Shit.

    The band has done a million morning talk show interviews in the press tour for their first album, so even though Julie still gets nervous, she figures she knows what to expect. But then the host decides to discuss Luke being a Hot Guitar Sex God, which is… new. And maybe she gets a little flustered. And maybe she sorta confesses her crush on live television. And then they have to perform. So.

    AU where everyone lives, but the band’s performance of “Edge of Great” has just as much tension as canon.

    Summary

    Julie stands between Reggie and Luke—who grasps Alex’s hand—on the edge of the stage. She shares a delighted look with them both before dropping into a bow.

    They’ve done it: Julie and the Phantoms have played at The Orpheum.

    Luke, Reggie and Alex begin to rise from their bow but are instead surrounded in light as the now familiar spectre of pale-purple engulfs them. It burns for a breath longer than normal, the purple taking on a pink-ish then finally a glowing red hue. The colour finally blazes almost white, the crowd wince in the brightness then blink, and Luke, Alex and Reggie are gone.
