    Summary

    A straight-lined full-draped jacket with broad square shoulders and velvet cuffs. His drainpipe trousers hug his legs in a way that’s hazardously flattering. He smooths a hand over his pink-striped waistcoat, grinning like a loon at his reflection. He has never felt this empowered, this invincible, this dangerous.

    The oily sculpture of his jelly-rolled quiff gleams in the light streaming in through the window - a literal illumination occurring in the humble bedroom of one young John Lennon.

    This is what he wants to do. This is what he wants to be.

    -

    John and Paul are Savile Row tailors that go into business together.

    Summary

    Paul had thought that his friends only wanted the best for him, with giving him a gift card to a brothel and all. Now, having ended up in a room with a stunningly handsome male whore, he needs to reconsider those ideas about his friends, and his beliefs in life altogether. It’s just for ten minutes, though… Definitely a once in a lifetime thing, and all that. Totally! Right? Right??
