Summary
Looking at John, watching his hands, seeing the slope of his nose, Paul realizes he wants to kiss him, always has. He wants to tell him, but he’s too afraid. He wonders if it was the other way around between them, would John tell him? Or would this be a change that neither of them could come back from.
“I think we’re all changing all the time," John's telling him. "I think we learn things about ourselves every day. And if there are people who don’t like us for trying something new or being someone new, then they can fuck right off, aye?” His smile brightens up a few notches, so Paul feels his own doing the same.
“They can fuck right off,” Paul agrees, and where he’d thought he might feel alone, he feels protected and loved, and it fills him up with something good and warm. It makes an ashram in Rishikesh, India feel like home.
--
In 1968, Paul is publicly outed in a book called The Homosexual's Handbook, written by Angelo D'Arcangelo.

Summary
Paul can’t get over the sensation that there are two entirely separate sets of people in the same place. One set is their physical bodies in the room, where Ringo is talking and Paul is sitting on the bed and George is watching silently and John is looking crestfallen. The other set is just four beings of consciousness, trying to communicate like they used to, through thought and through imagined bars of music, notes snatched from the ether and knocked together, or stacked on top of each other, or spread out on the floor like old photographs.

Summary
Something ticked in Paul’s mind as the familiar words washed through him. When he looked at John, his friend was already looking at him. And suddenly, it all became clear: He remembered having that conversation more than 50 years ago. He remembered it too well.
He had been thinking about it for years, wondering what he should have understood, how he should have reacted. If it was as meaningful as it had felt or if his memory had just romanticized it.
“I don’t think a love like that obeys to any rules,” John went on, unaware of Paul’s agitation. “It’s not something that humans have created, not like a societal thing. It’s deeper than that, and that’s what some people are afraid of I guess, because they can’t control it. Whatever laws they create, they can never control it. A white lad will fall in love with a black girl.” He paused. “A lad with another lad. You know.”

Summer 2019, 77-year-old Paul wakes up feeling surprisingly good. One tiny problem: he is back in December 1965.

Summary
There is an unspoken rule in the league—in every league, in probably every goddamn social game on the planet—don't snitch. If someone's got a problem with you, it's with you, and snaking your team on them does far more harm than good in the long run.
"—Who tapped you? Who was it?"
"Don't worry about it," Light spits through a smile, plenty worried about it. He's spent enough time on the ice to know that a stick-tap is the hockey equivalent of pistols at dawn.
"…Was it Lawliet?"
———
TL;DR I love hockey, and I love yaoi.
This is my magnum opus.Bookmarked by TowardTheStars

Summary
In his first life, L died in the arms of his greatest enemy.
In his brief second one, he died alone.
And in his third, too-long life, L died anticipating finally getting even with the man who'd won their game one too many times.
And Light Yagami? If he'd known this is what picking up the Death Note would bring....well, he'd probably still have done it anyway.

Summary
The halls of Hogwarts remain the same as Snape walks through them one more time on that first day of September. It is the beginning of the course, the war finished in May, and now students giggle and talk and chatter excitedly as every other year, but it makes Severus frown. It almost feels as if the war never happened, as if nothing changed.
Severus shouldn't have survived the war, he never intended to, and yet here he is, once again locked in that bloody castle with students he hates. And with him.
