Just thought of this...
Decided to cross-post a story that I'd posted at beatlesslash, only because this comm seems rather...tragically small for how amazing the pairing is. xD So:
Title: Why is the tea gone?
Author(s): Actually, my sister wrote this, though she doesn't have an LJ account so I'm posting this one for her. C: (She says to also mention that she 'wrote it under duress'; aka, in an art trade with me, at my prompting.) She just got an account:

Pairing: George/Ringo
Rating: G
Summary: The tea was missing. WHERE HAS THE RUM...I MEAN TEA GONE?
Author's Notes: More of a friendship fic than slash, but.
Something was wrong. Something was very wrong. Ringo rubbed at his bleary eyes as if that might help the fog clear from his brain. What was it?
Tea.
The tea was missing.
"George!"
"Yes?" Ringo nearly jumped out of his socks as he turned around. Of course the bugger was already up. He didn't have any trouble falling asleep at night. Well, there was the occasional nightmare, but he hadn't had those since their last time on the road.
"You're up a bit early, aren't ya?" George asked, a slight smirk tugging at his lips.
Ringo glanced at the clock and glared at his friend. It was two in the afternoon. "Ha ha, very funny."
George shrugged in an "I try" fashion. "So what's all this yelling about?"
Ah, right. How could he have forgotten about the tragedy? He pointed accusingly at the depressingly empty-looking cabinet. "Where 'as the tea gone?"
His friend raised a mildly amused eyebrow as he surveyed the cabinet. "I dunno, maybe you drank it all."
"I did not."
"Well you never know. Up all hours of the night, who knows what you get into."
"I didn't drink it, you did."
"Why's it gotta be me?"
"Because it wasn't me."
"Well it could'a been somebody else."
"Who?"
"What about that bird you kept bringing over here?"
"That was a week ago!"
"Long time for you to notice we need tea. You should be more observant Ringo." Said Ringo glared at George until the man laughed. "Don't get your knickers all twisted, just buy some more."
Ringo crossed his arms stubbornly. "You should buy it, since you drank all of it."
"You drank a fair share too y'know."
"Well I bought it last time."
"No you didn't."
"Yes I did."
"No you didn't."
"Yes I did, because I remember a woman asked me to sign her cheese."
"That was last week at the club."
"No."
"Yes."
"Why would she have cheese at a club?"
"Maybe she wasn't being literal."
"Oh now you're just being argumentative."
"So?"
Ringo sighed. "So, we still need tea."
"Well you should go get some then."
Ringo groaned and leaned his head back, banging it on the open cabinet. He grumbled something about too early in the morning as he rubbed his head, also cursing a bit.
"It's not morning Rings."
"Shut up!"
George laughed and shook his head, turning to leave. "You're too pathetic to go anywhere. I'll get your bleedin' tea."
Ringo sighed in relief and leaned against the counter, careful to keep his head away from the cabinet.
"Hey Rings?"
"Yeah?"
George turned to him and held up a box. A box full of tea packets. They had been sitting on the kitchen table. The entire time. Ringo let out a few more curses and grabbed the box, still muttering as he began boiling the water. George chuckled and left the room, and Ringo's ears picked up the sounds of his guitar.
"Thank you." he called grudgingly.
"You're welcome."
The drummer grinned, and got out a second cup.
Also, just as a question/suggestion to any members/the comm mod (I have no idea who that may be, however; I suppose I'm a bit of a newb xD); is there any sort of tagging system? If not, it might be a good idea to do it by genre or so, since the pairing is already pretty obvious. C: (I certainly wouldn't mind back-logging through posts to try and tag them, if we decided to try to start a system.)
