Never broken or in need of repair
But there are some born to shine who can't do it alone
So protect them and take special care

...

That first time on the stage with White Eskimo, he'd thought, Yes, I want to do this forever. It was fun with them, but for them, just a lark. Harry wasn't foolish; he planned for other things, just in case. But he had a summer before college, so why not try? Newly sixteen, old enough to audition, and he was standing on another stage, in front of people who'd only ever been on his telly before.

He sang, thinking, Yes, this is what I want.

At bootcamp, he gives everything a thousand percent, exhilarated and terrified in equal measure; he can't follow the choreography to save his life, but he has fun with it, and he just can't stop smiling because this is it, this is his chance - he just wants to sing forever, to write and perform songs that mean something. There's even a brilliant boy in the toilet who asks for his autograph and a picture because "You're gonna win it all, you'll see," and Harry can't stop grinning for hours.

And then he's cut. The very last moment, his name isn't called. He nearly collapses on that stage but manages to stumble away bumping into that Irish boy who always had a crowd around him, and he just follows him because he doesn't know what else to do. Should probably call Mum but if he hears her voice, he's going to break down.

But one of the assistants asks for them to come back, and reads off a list of names, and Harry's shock and grief begins to turn to anger. Do they just want more footage of boys crying? Want to twist the knife a little more?

That boy from the toilet (Louis) catches his eye, nodding for him to go first, so Harry trudges back to the stage.

.

From that first song for an audience, Harry just wanted to sing. When his bandmates didn't want to go any further, Harry went to audition alone.

To be perfectly honest, he's not sure how he would've done it on his own, what would've happened if Nicole or Simon (he's still not sure who actually came up with the idea) hadn't suggested taking the five of them and putting them into a group together.

It's utterly mad, and despite the rocky start (and it was so rocky, what with Liam having planned on being a solo artist and Louis always trying to have a laugh), when he looks back on little sixteen-year-old him, standing on that stage alone -

"I have loved you," Louis sings, glancing his way in front of a crowd of 60,000 screaming people, "since we were eighteen."

Liam's clapping, Niall's dancing in place, and Zayn is gone (which still hurts, might always hurt), and Harry can't imagine having this life on his own. He counts off the beats in his head and then sings with Louis, "Long before we both thought the same thing, to love and be in love," and he can't look away.

Elli flips up her visor and tunes out the tinny voices muttering in her ear, studying the downside sky. She so rarely gets to see the stars through an atmosphere. They seem to quiver there, like bright bugs trapped in thick molasses. She doesn't feel like she's about to fall into them, the way she does on a ship or a station—gravity clings to her boots, 9.8 meters per seconds squared, just like Kline Station or the Ariel, but it feels stronger here. Inexorable, inescapable. You can't flip a switch and turn it off.

A voice cuts through the chatter in her ear—"Quinn, move in."

She switches from Elli to Commander Quinn as smoothly as she flips down her visor, taking in the streaming data at a glance. She grins, baring her teeth to the night. "Aye, sir."

She hops on the float bike and powers it up, moving low and silent through the trees where the branches are thin until she zeroes in on his location. He's standing near a couple of sprawled out guards, stunner held loosely in his hand. A few lights flash in the corner of her visor, telling her Red Squad and Blue Squad have completed evac. Light casualties, no deaths. Green is waiting for them in low altitude. Miles tugs off his command helmet as she drops down beside him.

"Your ride, milord," she says, and he snorts as he swings up behind her.

"Don't even."

"Ready for transport to Green Squad drop shuttle, Admiral, sir?" she tries again, putting on her best soldier's voice.

He jams the helmet back on. "Better."

She revs up the bike, and they're off towards the stars.

This isn’t love, this is want, need, take. Love is give, give, give. But that’s not this. Not at all. Love is an imagined lump in the throat, making it hard to breathe and that slow suffocation has your head dizzy. Lust is the sharp edges of the pelvic girdle. It’s all about the flesh and bone, the physical plane of existence. I am this skeleton, you are that skin. Slam your body against my body. Leave bruises that’ll last me for weeks, so I can press the ball of my thumb into the bloom. And remember.

I don’t want to fall in love, there’s no space between us where either one of us could fit that in. Don’t tell me about your heart, the weight of my rib-cage on your rib-cage will grind it to dust. This is a promise and I’m not a liar.

"Holy shit," Hal says as a greeting when he answers the phone. "What's wrong? Is it huge, slimy, telepathic aliens, because I gotta tell you, I've met my quota on those bastards for a while."

"...No," Bruce says. "There's no emergency."

"Are you sure?" Hal asks as he pours a glass of whiskey. "Because I'm trying to think here and the number of times you've called me on the phone come up to less than zero. Maybe you were body snatched."

"That's not a thing."

"On Earth," Hal corrects him, leans back against the fridge as he sips his whiskey. "Seriously though, what's up?"

"Nothing is up," Bruce tells him, then Hal hears some other voices, low and muffed, and a bit of shuffling, figures Bruce must be at his day job.

"Oh my god," Hal says, breaking into a grin. "You totally called just to hear my voice."

"Don't be ridiculous," Bruce says. "You talk nonstop, how would I ever forget."

"You did," Hal insists. "You missed me, admit it."

Bruce says something to whoever's in his office and Hal goes through the take-out menus while he waits.

"It was," Bruce says finally, to him. "Quite a long mission."

And yeah, Hal guesses it was. There's never any real telling how long his Lantern missions are going to take and he kind of forgot to give anyone a heads up this time, even Bruce. Honestly, he didn't even think he would notice, but apparently --

"Crap," he says. "I'm a shit."

Bruce just laughs. It's a good sound for him. He should do it more often. "Among other things."

"Can I make it up to you with blowjobs?" Hal asks, already grabbing his keys and walking out the door.

"Well," Bruce says. "You were gone a month. I'd suggest you get started."
