Summary
1969
“Paul, do you want some sandwiches?”
Paul feels a knowing smile creep up on his lips as he shakes his head and regards George over the photo he’s holding. Sitting across from him in his jeans and striking red boots. Fashionable as always. When did he become so cool?
He chides himself for the silly thought. George had always been cool.Bookmarked by downthepub

Summary
The Ian Leslie book infuriated me so much I thought I’d dig out this rant I wrote for a magazine in 2022 about why the Beatles are a lesbian friendship group and can only be understood as such, and why men don’t ever get them.

Summary
For the kinkmeme prompt:
Paul hears on the grapevine (or directly from John) that John has a new love called David. Obviously he’s not going to give John the satisfaction of asking about him, but all he hears is how complete John’s life is with David in it, and how John only wants to share his bed with David from now on. Turns out David is a cat, but Paul doesn’t know that.
