Fics like Am I making you feel Sick

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.
