    Summary

    Things had been going too well for John Lennon. He should have known that the universe wouldn't let him have nice things. On New Year's Day of 1965, he is outed as an omega, and the public doesn't have anything good to say about it.

    The idea of an unmated omega in a band of alphas could be ruinous, so Brian Epstein suggests that John and Paul pretend to have been mated for years to clean up their image.

    They agree to uphold the charade for one year, then they will "break up." However, John and Paul's relationship has always blurred the lines between friendship and romance, and their fake relationship only makes things even blurrier...

    Summary

    Their marriage is perfect.

    At least, that’s what the internet thinks.

    Perfection is easy to fake when millions of people are watching from the outside.

    Behind the perfect photographs, John has spent the last two years turning Paul’s life into a living hell, blaming him for the loss that shattered their family. Paul understands his anger. He carries the same grief.

    Still, loving someone doesn’t mean you can survive everything they do to you.

    Paul was seventeen when he met John.
    John was seventeen when he learned what it meant to lose himself.

    Summary

    "Paul always said that he wished he was not a boy who cried; but he was.

    John wished that he could speak, but the words stuck in his throat as he watched the tears run down Paul's beautiful face and drip down onto the yellow linoleum floor of the kitchen of the house that he did not live in anymore. He watched helplessly and could not move or speak for a long instant stretching on as the rain began to fall and the windowpane rattled."

    Or, the one where they fall in and out of love over the course of several years and John develops a metaphorical fixation on a jet called Concorde. Of course, everything works out alright in the end.

    Summary

    Paul is hopelessly in love with John (no, really) and has been for years.

    John is happily in a relationship with Cynthia (or is he?).

    After his refusal to confess, he gives in to a suggestion from George to ask Reddit for advice.

    It goes about as well as you'd think.

    Summary

    “I was chosen as the bass player, Paul.” Stu said as he threw a punch at Paul - which was harder to block than Paul would admit.

    “Me.” Paul threw a punch back, wishing Stu would shut his mouth and focus on the goddamn fight.

    “And guess what, Paul?” They both stood a bit apart, breathing heavily and the tension building.

    “I’ll always be. Until I die, you won’t get your hands on that sweet, sweet bass regardless of how much you want to”

    ~

    Paul and Stu's fight was about his bass playing. Or, it was over a monetary dispute. Or, it was simply a clash of personalities. In reality, it was a little of all of them and mostly about none of them - but something they would never admit to each other or themselves.
