Summary
A fill for this Kinkmeme prompt:
The breakup is as messy as always, but there’s some contract cock-up which means they have to record one more Beatles album. Which is fine, because they’ve written loads of songs… they just all happen to be about how much they hate each other.
…ie What if Too Many People/How Do You Sleep/Wah-Wah etc were Beatles songs- Language:

Summary
Sometimes it feels like it will never get better. Paul’s English teacher calls home, concerned about his slipping schoolwork, and his father watches him with that silent disappointment face as he talks down the phone. He isn’t violent afterwards, just clipped and cold and “Paul, I expected better from you,” and it hurts more than the next day when he gives him a black eye.

Written for Sgtpeppers/arfics on AO3 for the Beatles Kink meme Secret Santa 2024, for the prompt:

Summary
Part of the awkwardness between him and Linda, John thought, was that she knew about the Cavernous Pit of Yearning.
She'd always known, and the pitying looks she'd once aimed at him were part of the reason he'd always relished being such a prick to her. It was easier, when he could only hear her voice, cool and distant through a few-thousand miles of phone line, to squash down the part of him that wanted to claw at her jealously.

John’s most redeeming quality—Jane always thought—is that despite everything else about him, he’s always been so very fond of Paul.

Summary
For the first time in years that he’s been entirely sober, John stops to think that perhaps it had all been a mistake. A fluke. That it could very well have been the drugs frying his brain, crossing some wires for him, and laying off them for good just might fix him.

This isn’t his room.

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
John’s exception to every rule is Paul. Paul, who is the only one allowed to see him in his specs. Paul, who doesn’t have to ask before playing his guitar. Paul, who he apparently beats other men into a pulp for.
He huffs at the absurdity of it all and feels Paul’s eyes on him again. Even without looking up he can tell there’s no accusation in those eyes. Only questions he doesn’t know how to answer.or
John ruins Paul's 21st birthday and his friend is not one bit angry.

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
A part of John still wanted to fight, wanted to hurt, dig his claws in and make him feel just as shite as he had. But more than that, he just wanted Paul. In a sad, childish sort of way- like a lass clinging onto a stuffed bear and sobbing when someone tried to rip it out of her arms.
In 1963, with a new, shiny baby and a newer, shinier rumor under John's belt, they take a break. And then they don't. And then they have to talk about it, God forbid.
