Hamburg, 1960. Willa and Elsie March are on the run, and they find safety at the Bambi Kino in the red light district of Hamburg with five cocky, sometimes maddening, usually drunk, and bloody talented boys--the Beatles. Willa has never met anyone quite like John Lennon. He's everything she didn't know she'd been missing. "I thought about John, about our interactions and our late-night chats. He was without a doubt intense, and most definitely moody. He made me feel so many things--confused, annoyed, relieved, comfortable, content, and bloody irritated--but not nervous." And there's more to Elsie's relationship with Paul McCartney than she's willing to admit. This is their story filled with trust, betrayal, secrets, love, lies, hope, and the Beatles. ** Achievements 2025 Grand Winner - Fanficiton Category (The Nano Watt Awards) ** •Part One: 1960 (Chp 0 - Chp 17) Started: March 5, 2023 Completed: June 27, 2023 •Part Two: 1961 (Chp 18 - Chp 36) Started: Sept 24, 2023 Completed: June 16, 2024 •Part Three: 1962 (Chp 37 - Chp 53) Started: Sept 29, 2024 Completed: March 23, 2025 ** Thank you so much to the amazing @strange_daisies for creating the cover! ** [Just Like] Starting Over is a work of fiction.

[Sequel to Yeah Yeah Yeah] Beatles! Sex! Drugs! Rock 'n Roll! ...and Yoko.

"and I only say hello and turn away before his lady knows how much I wanna see him." In 1968, Lynnette Newman isn't looking for a serious relationship. She's an up and coming singer-songwriter from Los Angeles who knows just about everyone in Laurel Canyon, just so happened to land herself a contract with Apple Records, and would very much like her closet to look like Nancy Sinatra's. In 1968, Paul McCartney is running out of luck. The Beatles are starting to fall apart, his relationship with his longtime girlfriend is falling apart with it, and quite frankly, he just misses the way things used to be. 1968 was a pretty crazy year for all parties involved. But as the curtain begins to close on one hell of a decade, two musicians can't seem to stay away from each other. ... And love might've had something to do with it. mature themes: alcohol use, drug references / use, themes of mental health, and sex. disclaimer: this is a work of fiction, and as such, all real life events and depictions of people are modified or created by me for entertainment purposes only !
