Summary
A collection of extras: alternate endings, scenes that didn't make the final cut, and incomplete drafts from across my fics, published and unpublished. Just loose threads that I thought would be a shame to let fray.

Summary
It was 1872, and London was a city of opulence and power, where the elite basked in their wealth. John's family, among the most influential in the country, were no exception. So there was no question as to why they recieved tickets to McCartney's circus as guests of honour — that much was obvious.
But dark rumours swirled around the circus — whispers John couldn't ignore.
Despite his own better judgement and internal warnings, his resolve had driven him to uncover the truth. Yet in a world where secrets were dangerous and privacy was valued above all else, his curiosity might just have led to consequences he never imagined.
(Abandoned—but not unconcluded.)

Summary
Bobbie’s breath stilled. Something in her chest tightened, as if a ribbon had been drawn through her ribs and pulled taut.
There was something arresting about the woman’s face. Beauty that didn’t simply shine but distorted the night around it; the fog receded, the dark seemed to fold obediently away from her. It was radiance that didn’t make sense here on her doorstep, in this dreadful fog; the beauty of a portrait so finely rendered it made you uneasy, certain the painted eyes were about to shift towards you.
--
With her parents away, the house fell into a hush—too wide, too empty. Sickness plagued the village, a stranger, beautifully disarming, appears at their door, they took her in.
Bobbie was captivated from the first breath.
But Georgia was not what she seemed—and the hunger she carried would ask for more than Bobbie ever meant to give.

Summary
George was at the Venus and Mars launch party for one reason only—and it wasn’t Paul. Even the scarf around his neck couldn't tether him when Bob pulled him under.
Instead, it marked what was theirs, combustible in its fragility. Threads of heat and quiet obsession lingered long after the music faded, memory pressing against skin, and the ache of it settled deep where desire and shame collided.

Summary
George tilted his head with an ease that belied his seriousness. “Don’t expect any Beatles songs. Can you imagine Bob Dylan singing ‘Penny Lane’?”
He let the question hang, lips curling into a smile. The air shifted, as if the moment itself was being dangled off the side of a cliff.
“Not that I’d mind hearing him do ‘Something’.”
--
1989. The Traveling Wilburys were on the road—a one-of-a-kind tour.
On stage, George could hardly tear his eyes from Bob. Off stage, Bob's hands seemed to find him without thought, as if pulled by a gravity neither had learned to resist.
But subtlety had never been their strong suit—and the others weren’t as oblivious as they pretended to be.
