Summary
Six years before the world watched the Cold War thaw in Reykjavík, a different kind of peace summit unfolded in Hveragerði.
In August 1980, John and Paul meet again after years of distance. Among moss, waterfalls, and aurora, they confront the past they buried, the desire that shaped them, and the love that refused to die.

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
John had never considered Paul to be cute.
There were many words for describing Paul’s looks, but despite what all the fans and magazines and journalists and even their own movie had insisted on, John had never for once thought of Paul as “the cute one”.
That all changed one unforgettable day in the sheltering Alps.

Summary
The house at 251 Menlove Avenue was a fortress of middle-class respectability. Mary "Mimi" Smith saw to that with a ferocity that bordered on the divine. The brass knocker was always polished; the lace curtains were perpetually crisp. But for those who lived within its walls as boarders, the house wasn't just a quiet respite in Woolton, it was an observatory.
