A/N: The title comes from Elton John's song, obviously. :)  I started it as a drabble for this prompt at [profile] day_by_drabble, but it soon got away from me and turned into a fic instead. Huge thanks to [personal profile] keep_counting for all her help and supporting me via Twitter until I'd finished this. So this one's for you! ;)
