    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

    John goes to sleep in Rishikesh, and wakes up in London, in a world where he and Paul have been together for years. Part of him is unsettled by it, even a bit put off — but another part of him is helplessly curious. He does his best to navigate a life that could almost be his own.

    Summary

    “Well, I’ve got to get a proper job, haven’t I?” he says, hands in pockets, eyes flickering elsewhere. Ridiculously, John’s first instinct is to remind him that he was the one that said better paying gigs were just around the corner. But it’s a stupid thing to say, it’s a gateway to begging. Anger flares, dark red and biting, within the flurry of confusion and hurt now blooming painfully. But it all gets stuck in a lump in his throat, the pill too hard to swallow or spit out.
    “You’re giving it up?” is all he can muster. 
    “I’m trying to tell you-” Paul shifts his weight on his feet, still not looking John in the eye, “Yeah… I- I have to.”

    -

    Paul leaves the band in 1960 to build a life with Dot and their baby. John carries on alone.
    They stumble across each other four years later. In a queer bar.

    Summary

    No amount of time with Paul—touching, kissing, talking—was ever enough. Whatever he felt was never stagnant: it ran deeper than he could possibly see, the widest and wildest of rivers. And distance, he was beginning to realise, could only ever keep it at bay for so long.

     

    Fill in for the prompt: During his walks through New York City, John keeps hallucinating Teddy Boy Paul, but never gets close enough to actually talk to him.

    Summary

    All Mike really knows, lately, is that one day Paul was planning to marry Linda, and then the next he was calling Mike and explaining in an easy tone that the wedding was off, and would you mind telling Dad for me? Great, thanks, gotta go. He's been hiding away on that farm of his ever since, for reasons Mike can only guess at.

    (Or: Mike visits his brother at High Park. Things are a lot more complicated than he’d anticipated.)

    Summary

    Marianne threw her head back and laughed. All the provincial lads she'd met had, for the most part, defied every stereotype she'd been brought up to believe in; but then there was Paul, thick as a plank when it came to the ways of the world. Marianne had no doubt that he was a genius. She also sometimes felt she'd never met any boy stupider -- in a crowded field, as always, Paul excelled.

    "He wants to fuck you," she explained kindly. "I don't blame him. If you were my little bird, I'd fuck you too." 

    OR

    It's the summer of 1967, Mick can't seem to stop turning up at Paul's house, John's just about had enough, and Marianne is endlessly astonished by Paul's capacity for self-delusion.

    Summary

    "Would you miss me?" John asks, or he means to ask, and thinks he does, but Paul doesn't answer for such a long time that John has to check. "Macca. If I went to prison, or if I left the country or - Y'know, if I kicked the bucket, would you miss me?
    "Don't be ridiculous," Paul says.

    1967 - Tara Browne's dead, the Beatles are making an album and Paul is, for some reason, refusing to trip with John.

    Summary

    They had driven back from the studio. Paul in his pearl-white suit and plum loafers. John in striped apricot pants and a wine silk shirt. They floated into John’s home, navigating the music room by lamplight. John cradled a violin to his flushed cheek and Paul sat at the keys. The tapes spun and the tabs on their tongues melted. And then so did everything else.

    Summary

    "John had once mused that reality leaves a lot to the imagination. Christ, don’t they know it. But what you don’t dare do in real life and what you don’t dare imagine leaves what you dream. It’s the closest thing to truth he’s ever had. And then there’s John, reigning above everything. Emperor of Eternity."

    Paul and John start sharing lucid dreams together in the summer of 1967.

    Summary

    November 1969. Deeply bored with Paul's attempts to save the Beatles, John starts having dirty daydreams about a different version of him, from the scene in Help! where he turns small.

    Paul finds out before long. It’s the first he's ever heard about John's feelings — he's never wanted anything sexual with John. But he's willing to do anything to keep him around.
