Summary
Sometimes, when they get like this – John, mostly, but Paul too if he drinks enough – filthy and suggestive, innuendos so pointed it feels almost like flirting – well, Ringo does wonder.
Forty-five minutes in New Brighton, October 1962. Or, five conversations in a night.

Summary
“When I was fifteen I was thinking, ‘If only I can get out of Liverpool and be famous and be rich, wouldn’t it be great?’ I was always thinking I was going to be a famous artist. And possibly I’d have to marry a very rich old lady, or man, to look after me while I did my art.” John Lennon, 1975
An AU in which John pursues art (with the help of someone to look after him), Paul pursues music and the two of them meet in the middle.

it's like he wants it to hurt. i wonder why he thinks he needs to make any extra effort when he'll wake tomorrow, blurred memories gnawing at him, refusing to look at me when he mentions being completely blacked out last night.

Summary
"I want to go find me real dad," said John.
Paul quite nearly choked on his toast. The keys kept twirling.Paul McCartney turned seventeen years old in the summer of 1992, and he only wanted two things out of the holiday: to play music, and to laze about, at least until he had to go to work.
This plan worked out excellently for him until the first day of July when John Lennon turned up on his doorstep. Holding the set of keys to a brand-new motorbike, and with the intent to track down his long-lost biological father. After a bit of resistance, Paul went along. Because how could he not?
Thus began their thirty-day road trip across Great Britain: a journey that changed not only Paul’s perception of the world at large but his perception of himself and the people he thought he knew inside and out.

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.”
