Summary
Paul almost turns on his heel, ready to walk right back out of the WC and apologise for not knocking, before he realises two key things. One: Ringo has his arms wrapped around him such that both hands are visible, curled up around his sides. Two: he hardly ever bothers with an STP anyway, and especially not on tour.

Summary
It takes ages, and several well-timed mentions of, in no particular order—their all being trans; Ringo being demisexual; John having a laundry list of DSM diagnoses; George’s horde of siblings (never mind that his parents are doing alright)—but they finally get signed.
[OR: The year is 20 *mumble mumble* and the Beatles are the next big thing. They're having a totally normal, precedented time. Also, they're all trans nerds.]

Summary
“SHIT!” John shouts, as the drums come in on the master tape. He turns on Ringo. “What the hell are you doing there?”
Ringo blinks wide blue eyes at him. “Er—just putting it into three, I thought.”
John—who knows as much about the technical side of music as any of them, including Ringo—stares at him momentarily. Paul shifts uncomfortably, ready to talk him down, but—
“Gear,” John says, through a massive grin. “Sounds good.”

Summary
To say there aren’t usually people hanging around outside the Dakota would be a lie, but they’re usually conscious and fidgety and watching the doors, not curled up at the foot of a pillar. Nine past nine by John’s watch, which is surely a sign from something, so he lets his feet carry him by impulse to the small ragged figure.
“You alright?”
The figure stirs and looks up, revealing a startlingly young face. A pinched, underfed look but unmistakably no more than eighteen. The younger ones always make his heart pang a bit; he almost never has any cash on hand to give them. Besides, people tend to recognise him.
January, 1979. John and Yoko are on the outs, but are keeping up appearances. John doesn't mean to quasi-adopt a random teenager; it just sort of happens. Also, Paul and Linda are due to be Winging their way over to NYC soon. This doesn't have any implications vis-à-vis John's heterosexuality and/or monogamy.
[Househusband era in NYC. Accidental teenager acquisition. Things (surprisingly) work out.]
(There's briefly going to be some weird stuff going on with the chapter numbering as I make some revisions!)

Summary
A quick inventory, a mental patting down of his pockets: one, this is his room. Two, the last time he took lysergic was yesterday, so he's definitely got his head on straight right now. Three, Paul is sitting on the edge of John's bed in the lamplight, looking melancholy and red in the face.

Summary
They’re at some club or another, swinging London crowd rapt around them, hanging on to Paul’s every word. And that’s when he hears him say it for the first time.
“Well, I suppose I’ve always thought it’s a bit like sex, you know. Like you wouldn’t do it with just anyone, would you?”
____
Or, Paul says the quiet part out loud and John spirals just a little bit.

Summary
November 1969. Deeply bored with Paul's attempts to save the Beatles, John starts having dirty daydreams about a different version of him, from the scene in Help! where he turns small.
Paul finds out before long. It’s the first he's ever heard about John's feelings — he's never wanted anything sexual with John. But he's willing to do anything to keep him around.

Summary
When he’s two years old, the first color Paul learns is yellow.
Yellow is the sun, bright and big in the sky. It’s the color of the cat that sits in the garden and the daffodils that grow in the grass that the cat likes to stretch out on. It’s the color of the walls at his auntie’s house and the color of the little sweets he likes so much. Most importantly, yellow is the color of the dress his mum likes to wear. She tells him this with a sweet voice, petting his hair, pointing out everything in the room that’s yellow.
AKA an AU where you see in black & white until you touch your soulmate.

Summary
Paul waved a hand over John's eyes, then snapped twice, enough to startle him— John didn't budge. Not even after Paul touched and gently pulled at a strand of hair (to test his awareness, of course).
Retreating, Paul felt another smile rise. Though they'd stayed at each other's frequently nowadays, he'd never known John talked in his sleep.
