Kissing Paul by However_Absurd

Summary
It was the most important experience of John's life, kissing Paul. It was what he thought about when they were apart, when it had been a while, when they were someplace where they couldn't touch, which was most places most of the time. It hadn't started that way, though. It had been hard at first, to hold back. He'd wanted all of Paul, right away and in abundant quantities, like he wanted everything in his life. But now, with Paul finally in his arms, shaking like John once had, John would have done anything to keep from frightening him away.

Summary
If you looked back and forth at someone like that in real life - even at your wife or your child - alternating between intensity and carelessness, it would alarm you and the other person, it would make both of you self-conscious about how long you should hold the look for and how long you should look away, what amount of time is normal and appropriate. But all the rules go out the window when you play and sing with someone.
John and Paul are friends and experimental musicians living in the west of Ireland with their partners and children. For their latest project, an album recorded without using any digital equipment, they have also committed to giving up their phones and devices. The removal of distraction helps their music, and also makes them aware of other, more personal things about each other and their relationship.

The Witnesses of Menlove Avenue by mothmanmademedoit for dancing_sunbeams

Summary
The house at 251 Menlove Avenue was a fortress of middle-class respectability. Mary "Mimi" Smith saw to that with a ferocity that bordered on the divine. The brass knocker was always polished; the lace curtains were perpetually crisp. But for those who lived within its walls as boarders, the house wasn't just a quiet respite in Woolton, it was an observatory.

Summary
Even before he ever knew John, he knew him, can’t remember a time when that wasn’t true. Sure, he might not have known his name, or ever spoken to him. But he’s certain they must’ve passed each other a dozen times on buses and in shops and just walking round the streets of Liverpool. So Paul knows that they weren’t ever truly strangers. And now looking back at those memories that maybe aren’t even real memories, just pictures in his head of things that may or may not have actually happened, Paul is also certain he must’ve loved him even then. That loving John has just been his constant state. His past, present, and future.
If time is a circle that loops back on itself and repeats, then Paul’s love for John is the only real proof he has of that concept.
___
Something breaks in India. Beginning in the time period right after Brian’s death, this is a story that takes us from England to India, to New York, and then back to England again as Paul tries to mend something that may no longer be mendable.
