    Summary

    Hal was angry about many things today: an alien invasion happening while breakfast-in-bed rituals were being enjoyed, Bruce knowing his Lantern ring's size like the freak that he is, and the fact that all of this was happening while he was wearing pink flannel pajamas under his uniform, and his breath still smelled like barely-10-second mouthwash about 2-hours into the fighting and the rescuing.

    Bruce apparently think it's the most romantic thing they could be doing...

    ...that fucking loser.

    Summary

    Hal Jordan was dying long before a mission went wrong and his heart finally gave out.

    He was dying when he signed the divorce papers. Dying without making it anyone else’s problem.

    No one Noticed.
    Not Bruce. Not Clark. Not the Justice League.

    And Hal was fine with that because twenty months ago he signed away the right to have anyone worry about him.

    He would have kept it that way, too If he hadn’t burned himself out saving the world. If he hadn’t collapsed hard enough that everyone finally had to look.

    Now Bruce and Clark are hovering like they never spent nearly two years avoiding him. Acting like this is their burden to carry, like they didn’t already decide, once, that letting him go was easier than staying.

    Hal doesn’t understand it. There’s no cure. If Oa hasn’t found one, there’s no point in pretending otherwise. He’s made peace with dying.

    Bruce and Clark haven’t.

    They refuse to give up on him the way they gave up on the marriage. And that more than the poison in his blood or the ache in his chest is what hurts the most.

    Because Hal is still in love with them. And loving them while they fight to save him might be the one thing he can’t survive.

    Summary

    Hal Jordan is afraid he wouldn't be a good partner. He's afraid he wouldn't be a good father. He's afraid he'll fuck things up and doesn't even realize it.

    But with friends with benefits, he could get someone warm to hold at night and when the sun rises, they would part ways and never see each other again.

    That is what friends with benefits are supposed to be.

    Right?

    Then why is Hal living in Bruce's manor, eating his food and co-parenting his kids?

    Summary

    Bruce Wayne and Hal Jordan have been wildly in love for the better part of a decade. Not that there's a soul in the Justice League who could vouch for this. Not that there's a soul outside of Bruce's veritable menagerie of a family who could vouch for this.

    Eight years in, Hal walks away.

    (There is a gaping hole in Bruce's chest. He has no idea what to do about it.)

    Summary

    “I don’t think it’s stupid,” Neil says, and there’s that ache again, the kind that keeps haunting him. “Do you think you’re just – ordinary to me?”
    Todd doesn’t look him in the eye. “I didn’t say that.”
    “You don’t say a lot of things,” Neil points out, and Todd huffs something between a scoff and a laugh.

    Neil, Todd, and the intricacies of living together.
