    Summary

    John goes to sleep in Rishikesh, and wakes up in London, in a world where he and Paul have been together for years. Part of him is unsettled by it, even a bit put off — but another part of him is helplessly curious. He does his best to navigate a life that could almost be his own.

    Summary

    “Oh,” Max breathes, “look at you losing control. Want to do it right here, huh?” He steps closer, daring, taunting.

    Through the haze of bloodlust, Charles knows he’s clamping too tightly to Max’s arms, fingers digging in with inhuman strength. His fangs are out, too. He should leave before he loses what’s left of his mind. Instead, he tightens his grip, eyes flickering red, nails sharpening to prick holes in Max’s ugly Red Bull polo.

    Despite all that, Max doesn’t flinch back or make a hurt sound. If anything, he pushes into the touch. Charles inhales greedily, intoxicated by the signature of his blood. 

    Max smells like temptation. Like home. Like he belongs to Charles.

    Summary

    Since Paul took on the new job at Massey & Coggins, he's too exhausted for sex, to John's immense frustration. Rather than sacrifice rest for lovemaking, though, Paul proposes an unlikely compromise.

    incidentally fills this prompt:Paul's somno kink
    -

    “We used to go at it like rabbits, and now I’m stuck humping your leg like a bleedin’ dog when you’re too fagged out for a fuck.”

    “Or you could’ve still fucked me,” Paul says, so unflinching and businesslike it almost sounds as if he’s having to repeat himself. “You didn’t have to stop.”

    Summary

    Aboard the Royal Iris for their second Riverboat Shuffle, John, Paul, and George have their first encounter with a Ouija board. After it proves to be a bust, John convinces Paul to give it another try later that night and finds the board to be a convenient voice for a ghost less than eager to make itself known.

    -

    “Ah,” he breathes quietly, “now he’s seen a ghost.” When his eyes settle back on the glass, finger stroking one of its deep grooves, Paul’s body sways to a riverboat that no longer carries them. “But I won’t hold you to whatever it uses you to say. Just stays between us and the board, that.”

    Summary

    Spending all that time on the stage under the hot lights, waiting for the cameras to move into positing, and then the rush of performing, drew the sweat out of him. His face felt tight and grimy. He needed a wash. That John was sitting in a full tub, surrounded by fluffy white suds, and wearing his cap, only strengthened his resolve.

    Paul gets into a hot bath with John. Things escalate quickly from there.

    His shoes sprawl in the foyer, his jumpers are slung over the backs of chairs, his sketchbooks splay open on the coffee table amidst a million colored pencils and his own half-empty tea cups, long gone cold beside Paul’s.

    Summary

    In the shadowed courts of medieval Bohemia, a nobleman and a lowborn knight find their fates entwined in a clandestine passion that defies both God and crown. Bound by battles yet torn by taboos, they navigate a perilous dance of desire and devotion, where whispered confessions risk damnation—and love becomes the greatest siege. Amidst the ashes of war, their hearts forge a covenant no sword can sunder, but whose flames may yet consume them whole.

    How does one lose something that was never theirs in the first place?

    Or:

    Cynthia watches her husband slip away between stolen moments.

    That's the crux of the matter, really. Cynthia can coddle and prod and coo, softening the blows of John’s perpetual mental turmoil. But Paul, Paul, breaks into it, opens the door for this dirtied thing that lives inside John, beckoning it in with a handful of chords.

    Paul's not looking at John, he’s watching his fingers follow the line of John’s clavicle to his shoulder. “Not going to sleep, then?”

    Summary

    (Kink meme prompt). Inspired by Muhammad Ali apparently calling Paul "pretty boy" during that photoshoot in Miami. Paul doesn't actually mind when men call him pretty, but John won't let it go—probably due to his own blinding jealousy. Paul shows him it's not such a bad thing to be called after all. (Bonus points if Paul gets John to touch himself while he watches).
