Summary
After “How Do You Sleep?,” John is overwhelmed with guilt and realizes his cruelty toward Paul was really a desperate attempt to get Paul’s attention. The song, the public attacks, even bringing Yoko into the studio were all ways of trying to make Paul react but instead, John only pushes him further into Linda, family, and life on the farm.
One night, alone at the Dakota while Yoko is in Japan, John has a terrifying dream that Paul has killed himself in Scotland because of John’s public aggression. He wakes convinced it is real, rushes downstairs in a panic, and the night valet assures him Paul is alive and it was only a dream.
Shaken and unable to be alone, John invites the valet upstairs for a drink and confesses everything: his guilt, his jealousy, his love, his need for Paul, and the truth behind his cruelty. The story unfolds with John revealing his deepest thoughts about Paul, before shifting to Paul’s quiet life on the farm in Scotland.

Summary
A little remix of this kinkmeme prompt:
Paul wakes up in the hospital after his "crash" in 66, high on painkillers. John is sitting next to him. Paul, who is completely out of it, accidentally admits he's attracted to john
But instead of painkillers, Paul wakes up with temporary amnesia. The only thing he can remember is that he and John are in love. Unfortunately, John doesn't agree.

Summary
On April 28th, 1961, 8:26am Paul McCartney’s alarm goes off.
“Paul was on the precipice of something brilliant, and every nerve in his body could feel it. What was about to take place was something deeply woven into the tapestry of his fate and history. Paul was nothing of the person he once was, and the person he was about to become was just on the horizon.”
Inspired by Groundhog Day and “A Day in the Life” by The Beatles

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.
