Summary
The words register and Paul barely keeps back an incredulous laugh. Is Lennon… is he really trying it on with Paul? There’s no hiding the implication; it’s the same way Paul’s approached whores on the street, thriving on the ignominy of it all. Lennon must be taking the piss.
If he is having Paul on, well, two can play at that game.
Or: John and Paul don't meet at the fete. They meet in Hamburg and come together and apart differently.

Summary
In this story, Stuart Sutcliffe didn't die in 1962 and instead is a working artist living in London with Astrid, occasionally doing freelance work for his old friends the Beatles. Stuart and Astrid have an open marriage and each embark on passionate queer relationships in 1968, which bring them both joy but challenge their stability as a couple. Meanwhile, Stuart is worried about John and his seeming mental breakdown, and has very mixed feelings about John's way of dealing with this. This draws him closer to his old enemy Paul, who he has developed a better relationship with over the years, but who he still has trouble understanding. Events contrive to draw Stuart deeper into the vortex of chaos caused by John and Paul's prolonged, painful breakup, while he simultaneously struggles to keep a handle on his increasingly complex personal life.

Summary
“I took something with John, didn't I?” he muses. He must've, though to tell the truth he can't remember. Maybe John had slipped it under his tongue while they were kissing and he couldn't remember asking. It doesn't… seem like something he'd forget, but he'd had far stranger trips.
The boy leans away from him finally, giving him an unimpressed look that really is far more condescending than he thought. “How should I know that? Haven't done it yet, have I?” he pauses, eyeing Paul up and down. “Do you remember takin’ somethin’ with John?”
Or, Paul isn't Ebenezer Scrooge, and the universe has a twisted sense of humor.

Summary
Paul had taken the powder in the dark because it felt appropriate.
The girl who handed it to Paul outside the stage door had been young—enormous eyes, shaky hands, practically vibrating with excitement over whatever she held in her palm.
It wasn’t acid, or anything chemical. She’d said, with a kind of trembling conviction, that it was a doorway.- Language:
