is where it's headed. & remember,
loneliness is still time spent

Hoshi/Anyone; "Beauty is terror"
Thinking about these two quotes together and the idea of on/off-stage personas:
"Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful we tremble before it. And what could be more terrifying or beautiful, to the Greeks to to our own, than to lose control completely?" - Donna Tartt, the Secret Histories
"I am calm in everyday life but when I put on my in-ear device and step on stage, I can feel the tension and hear the cheers getting louder as the music gets louder. When the staff tells me it's time to step on stage, I feel something boil inside me. I feel it steaming inside and I think I have to give a burst of something, spill what is inside me." - Hoshi in Hit the Road Ep. 04
Any ship; "It's been so many years"
Hello, hello there, is this Martha?
This is old Tom Frost
And I am calling long distance
Don't worry 'bout the cost.
'Cause it's been forty years or more
Now Martha please recall
Meet me out for coffee
Where we'll talk about it all.
Tom Watts - Martha

A/N: this is exactly 400 words! also going for rarest pair if this counts, I believe there's one work for them currently on ao3
this is kind of an aftermath of the quote above, if you read it from wonwoo's perspective
***
The first time Wonwoo sees Lee Chan, he hasn't yet picked a hero name. Not that Wonwoo would have asked. He's trailing along in Jeonghan's shadow, another in a long line of sidekicks Jeonghan has taken on. Like a dog, Wonwoo thinks, and curls his lip as he turns a corner.
Lee Chan is part of a lineage now. That was how Jeonghan had described it when he took Wonwoo on, as he threw Wonwoo into the mats again and again and again. Wonwoo spat blood and got up. He got up.
People Jeonghan takes on become legends and then he lets them go. Wonwoo hopes it hurts, when Jeonghan's new boy realizes it's not going to last.
The next time Wonwoo sees Lee Chan is in the middle of a fight. Dino, he recalls briefly. His handler had called a meeting about it. Jeonghan had called in a few favors to give the new hero some more experience, and Wonwoo's team had agreed before he could even blink twice. Resentment gains him nothing, but that doesn't stop the feeling from sinking its teeth into his spine. His heart is a bad dog, bites down on things it should know better than to chew.
Despite what Wonwoo might have expected, Dino isn't doing well.
Wonwoo doesn't think Jeonghan would have let him into the field without some skill, but whatever Dino is trying to do with his super powers isn't working. He's huddled up behind a wall while some henchmen rain bullets in his direction.
No one is around to help him. Wonwoo is cloaked in invisibility on a nearby ledge, don't look this way like a whisper on the wind. The gunshots are deafening at range, and Wonwoo sees Dino flinch.
Jeonghan is off on some mission alone. There is no one else to save him.
Wonwoo takes a breath and jumps.
The last time Wonwoo sees Jeonghan's new boy is when he shows up on Wonwoo's doorstep, and asks for a place in his team.
Lee Chan looks Wonwoo in the eye when he makes the request. He's ambitious, the talk of the town. Newest in a line of legends. Wonwoo has worked with him a couple times since that fight--had drinks with him a couple more.
Wonwoo struggles to keep an ugly grin off his face. Jeonghan's boy. The next time Jeonghan sees him, he'll be Wonwoo's.

Re: [FILL] i die every time you look away from me
anyway *___* gosh the density of the information you can in 400 words, the relationship between the three of them. Chan as Jeonghan's mentee, the suggestion that wonwoo was once also Jeonghan's (and how everything angry directed at chan is in fact something repressed and unresolved within himself - ahhHH). all against a superhero au. wow!! thank you for writing <3
