Summary
All the tours had been a fucking joke. No one able to hear a thing; they’d gotten worse and worse over the years until they packed it in for good. How they ever became anything at all, John has no idea. He brushes against Yoko’s shoulder and she hums, pleased, only for him to hear. This is what’s right. He’s exactly where he’s supposed to be.

Summary
Paul snorts, ruining whatever delicate hesitation he’d been trying to draw out. They’ve been dancing around this ever since they started filming. The voice in his head yells, petulant, that John hasn’t touched him since before Bangor.
—

Summary
The rest of them don’t know what to do, how to reach him. George doesn’t feel that he is persistent enough in trying. He wouldn’t tell anyone else this but sometimes, it makes sense, John a vessel for all the things they don’t talk about. How hard it can be here. Something needed to break, eventually.
—
During their second Hamburg residency John takes something that changes him beyond recognition. George learns this new version of him.

London, 1967: Wish fulfilment, a lot of interrupted kisses, drugs in excess, and a hot, hot summer.

Summary
Rishikesh starts something they can't reel in. It's not enough to save the band but they don't really want it to be. John and Paul find a way to tell everyone. All at once.
