Fics like Break the Cycle

Eight months in, Hal Jordan knows the rules. Shirt stays on. Lights stay low. Bruce doesn’t sleep, doesn’t get cornered, doesn’t explain. Hal has read all of it as privacy and left it alone. Then his belt cracks in the air, and Bruce stops the way a film stops, mid-frame. What Bruce tells him at three in the morning — pleasantly, evenly, a case file still open on his lap, like a funny story about a strict childhood — is the worst thing Hal has ever heard. Bruce doesn’t know it’s the worst thing. He closed the case at 13 years old and filed it under discipline he earned. Hal doesn’t argue with the verdict. Instead Hal builds a one-item agenda, and it isn’t fixing him. It’s staying.
