Summary
The year is 1934, and the Golden Age of Hollywood is in full swing. Paul McCartney is a new actor on the scene, fresh off his debut musical-comedy movie that smashed box office records and charmed the critics. His next role is in a big-budget thriller film co-starring one of Hollywood’s biggest names—a one John Lennon, infamous for his versatile acting ability and leading roles and attitude. It will come down to more than just top billing as the two verbally spar with each other (both in-character and out of it) and harass their fellow actors and crew to the point of distraction. Of course, it’s well-known that a solid way to measure a film’s success is through the chemistry of its leads…which might be less of a problem than anticipated.

Summary
In the summer of 1991, John Lennon was 17 years old and ready for the time of his life playing in his shitty metal band, chasing older girls, and flipping burgers, but the arrival of a mysterious younger boy from London would change life as he knew it.
...
Twelve years later, it seemed like Paul McCartney's life had finally reached the kind of normalcy he'd always craved; he has a job as a session musician for Abbey Road Studios, he's about to marry up-and-coming TV star Jane Asher, and has the best friends in the world. Unfortunately, it seems the rearrival of an old friend from Liverpool is going to throw a wrench into all of that.

Summary
John Laurens had no idea what to expect. He hadn’t anticipated a drunken, nearly forgotten and entirely regretted, night in college to come back and bite him in the ass so hard, or so fast. He had only been out of med school for a year, he was just finishing his first year of residency and getting used to being entirely on his own in the world — just as he was beginning to fall into this chaotic rhythm that made up his life, the universe changes the key.
--
John Laurens is suddenly the father of a five year old, which is terrifying until he realizes there are people he can rely on. Based off this prompt .

Summary
Um, hi. I'm Jim. Jim Kirk. You don't know me, but I know you. Well, sort of. It's a long story. All of this started when I… Actually, no, it started when my mom got it into her head that… well, it's kind of complicated. Long story short, I accidentally ended up in another universe and... Look, I know it sounds crazy, but in that universe, we—the other me and you—are married and you're the crown prince of Vulcan Kingdom. It does sound crazy, I know. Fuck, I don't even know why I'm doing this. I don't really know you. Hell, I'm not even sure I want to know you. It's not like I think you and me… I'm just curious, I guess. You'll probably ignore me anyway; I know I would if I were a Vulcan and got a call like that from some stranger. Fuck it, it was a stupid idea. Bye, Spock.
[18-year-old Jim ends up in Once Upon a Time's universe. When he gets back, Jim's curiosity gets the better of him. And then things become complicated. Academy AU.]

Summary
First Officer Spock of the USS Enterprise is part of the away team that discovers the survivors of Tarsus IV. Captain Pike assigns him to the curious case of James Tiberius Kirk, who steals one of Spock's sweaters. There were no sufficient Vulcan poetics to describe the emptiness of the colony as it was found on the morning of stardate 2249.43. The fully-completed residential sector was neither ugly nor beautiful but simply remote; a hollow landscape of metal alloys and sensible architecture, with determined vegetation growing alongside the support beams. They did not flower.

Summary
Love stories always have that ‘big bang’ moment where the people involved can pinpoint THAT instant when they fell ass over teakettle in love. Spock and Kirk didn’t have that. For them, it evolved. It grew. It built like a wave until neither of them could breathe without the other.
Takes place in the year before STID, during STID, and after STID.
