Summary
Paul has always been sort of vaguely aware of the fact that he loves John, in the same way that he’s aware that John loves him, in the same way that he’s aware that it doesn’t matter. He knows that they can’t be together – they can’t be queer – so it’s not worth dwelling on, is it?
If he thinks about it too deliberately, it hurts. So he doesn’t think about it.
It would have been perfectly fine going on that way. He might have done it his entire life with ease, even. It would have been fine, it not for the fact that one day he just – forgets, for a moment. And he kisses him.

Summary
A little remix of this kinkmeme prompt:
Paul wakes up in the hospital after his "crash" in 66, high on painkillers. John is sitting next to him. Paul, who is completely out of it, accidentally admits he's attracted to john
But instead of painkillers, Paul wakes up with temporary amnesia. The only thing he can remember is that he and John are in love. Unfortunately, John doesn't agree.

Summary
Early 1964. John drunkenly (and somewhat accidentally) comes out to Paul after a party. Paul doesn't understand why he can't stop thinking about it. Obviously the new form of masturbation they've invented has nothing to do with this.

Summary
anthimeria: from Greek anti-meros, which means “one part for another.”
For a moment they smoked in silence. Robert leaned his elbow on the balustrade, crossing his legs. It was interesting to be able to look at John like this, with John so unwilling or unable to look back at him. Eventually he said, "So. See something you like?"
John's head snapped up at that. "You smug fucking ponce," he hissed.
Robert cocked an eyebrow. "Hmm?"
"He's not one of your fucking art pieces."
"Isn't he?" Robert asked innocently. "Oh -- do you mean he's one of yours? Is that it?"
Follows on from "Cliché". John turns up at Cavendish unexpectedly.

Summary
Kept boy John Lennon is feeling stuck. His art is going nowhere, and he has the sinking feeling his sugar daddy is losing interest in him. To make matters worse, it seems all of London is abuzz with talk of the new boy on the scene. Robert Fraser's new pet is pretty, talented, spoiled, and infuriating.
John can't stop thinking about him.

Summary
It’s a section of the newspaper Paul flips past every Sunday without a second thought. It was a crutch for people more romantically desperate than himself. No matter how yearning the single life sometimes leaves him, he’d never stoop to such means for love. But one morning a phone call from a random stranger draws more attention to the column than he ever wanted to give it.
-
He nibbles on his lower lip while it rings. A similar wave of emotions sweeps over him like every other hour of the day; anxiety seizes the muscles in his neck before the lack of reception deflates him like a balloon. After the fourth ring he considers hanging up. He waited too late and missed his opportunity. Reluctantly, he removes the phone an inch from his ear to hang up when the other line connects.

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.
