Summary
For reasons not explored, John and Paul suddenly find they can’t sleep unless they're near each other. After months of insomnia, they work out the problem during the Abbey Road sessions — and promptly start having the best sleep of their lives. It gives John a bit of whiplash, how easy it is to lose himself in Paul again.

Summary
When John writes a romantic short story for a writing contest, he never expected it to win and actually get published. Nor did he ever expect anyone to read the silly story— especially not Paul, who was mysteriously similar to the love interest.

Summary
Ringo takes up watch with George on the stoop; deft fingers light up ciggies for both of them. They smoke in silence, listening to Paul circle the same song over and over, waiting for John to show and blow the whole thing up. John whose straw had been the one to break the camel’s back and send George flying out the door of Twickenham in a rage five days ago; John who stared down George’s willingness to make amends in abject silence at Ringo’s house on Sunday, Yoko speaking for him instead.
--
George and the January 15th meeting.

Summary
There was a time when they couldn’t get enough of each other; when they would tell each other everything about their lives, only they didn’t need to, with how deeply immersed they were in one another. There was a time when he would’ve known if Paul was in the same city as him.
John sees Paul in the street while he's in Liverpool for a break. It's funny, because neither of them knew the other would be in town. And John can't figure out why that is.

Summary
John doesn’t have a clue why 19-year-old Paul has seemingly stepped out of a photograph and into his living room, but he’s had a painful lack of Paul lately, so he can’t really complain.

Filling the @beatleskinkmeme Prompt "In Hamburg, Paul plays 'He May Be Your Dog But He's Wearing My Collar' on piano as a dig at Stu, to John's amusement. He doesn't find it half as amusing when Paul plays it again at Twickenham."

Summary
December 1961 - At the annual art college Christmas Party, a game that Paul and John created takes a turn.
Based on this prompt: late 50s or early 60s Paul and John role-playing John as a knight of the nobility and Paul as a stable boy or something just Paul's posh-people fetish.

Summary
“Come here, Paul,” John tells him.
Paul swallows hard. “What?” he says, simply to buy himself a bit more time before he decides to give into this entirely.
John shifts slightly where he is on the bed, and says again: “Come here.” Paul feels the space around them go electric, and he can’t decide if John touching him will ground him or make him spark. John sighs, pointedly annoyed, when Paul makes no move. “You’re not here to sit across the room, are you?”
--
Having trouble sleeping, Paul finds John in his hotel room during their 1966 weekend getaway in Paris.

Summary
A few months after his self-absorbed brother runs off to the continent with his fuck-up of a songwriting partner, Mike receives an invitation to spend Christmas with them in Paris. Bitter with wounds that have been lifetimes in the making, but determined to repair his relationship with his brother, Mike accepts, dragging a chagrined George Harrison along for moral support.
This is the epilogue of the Cast Iron Shore and the Reeperbahn, but I've been told by some lovely beta readers that it works on its own as well. So if you're coming into this with full knowledge of all the baggage, thank you for still being here, you're a saint. And if you have no idea what those stories even are, welcome and thanks for giving this a shot!

Summary
He wants to push Stuart out of the way, not even with a violent yank of his collar like he sometimes imagines. Just to melt into his place like butter sliding in a pan. Have it be an effortless breath of fresh air when John looks up at him and sees it all reflected back in his eyes. It’s you.
Hamburg, 1960.

Summary
Paul stares before he realises he’s staring. Because- God, because. This boy is so different, something cut from a film, made of things other than grimy Liverpool streets.
He’s slouched and bored and just- he’s nothing like Paul’s ever seen. Strong, aquiline nose and sharp lines that both push away and invite you to look, sideboards like the teddies from London, from America, and a squint in his eye that match the suave of his jacket and drainies. Paul wants to let his body loll into non-existence just to stare at him, at the lines and slopes of his face.Or Paul sees John before July 6th, and the two meet because Paul decides they will
