Summary
After “How Do You Sleep?,” John is overwhelmed with guilt and realizes his cruelty toward Paul was really a desperate attempt to get Paul’s attention. The song, the public attacks, even bringing Yoko into the studio were all ways of trying to make Paul react but instead, John only pushes him further into Linda, family, and life on the farm.
One night, alone at the Dakota while Yoko is in Japan, John has a terrifying dream that Paul has killed himself in Scotland because of John’s public aggression. He wakes convinced it is real, rushes downstairs in a panic, and the night valet assures him Paul is alive and it was only a dream.
Shaken and unable to be alone, John invites the valet upstairs for a drink and confesses everything: his guilt, his jealousy, his love, his need for Paul, and the truth behind his cruelty. The story unfolds over four chapters of John, revealing his deepest thoughts about Paul, before shifting to Paul’s quiet life on the farm in Scotland.

Summary
August 1960: The dog days of summer. John's art school days have just recently come to an end, and Hamburg is right around the corner. Anticipating the tide that's rushing towards them, John and Paul are decidedly cloistered away together at all their favourite haunts, carving out pockets of time together while they still can.
Or: An excuse to write Paul reading Keats aloud to John while they lie amongst the sunsoaked stones of St. Peter's Churchyard.
(Inspired by the song Cemetry Gates by The Smiths)

Summary
It’s 1962, and John Lennon is certain of the future.
The band is rising, the world is opening up, and Paul is right beside him through it all.
Next thing he knows, he’s waking up ten years later in a white, silent apartment called the Dakota. He’s still twenty-two, still himself but apparently not the only John Lennon in existence.
The Beatles are over, there are lawsuits being filled and songs causing wounds. And Paul won’t stay on the phone long enough to make whatever has happened right again.
Now, George and Ringo are left dealing with a younger John who doesn’t understand how he ever let it all go this wrong.
________________
Ringo watches him bristle at every last piece of the last decade, and mutters, almost to himself,
“I forgot how bad it was. He really couldn’t stand the thought of Paul without him.”
“Wait ‘till he sees him playing with Wings.” George grimaces, half amused, half wary.Bookmarked by MrsD27
