Charli (Charlotte) McLeod and Paul McCartney grew up together and were each others first love. After Charli's extremely strict religious parents tear them apart, Paul eventually finds her again only to realise she's changed and is fighting her own demons. **This fic spans a LOOOOONG period of time** **I do try to keep as accurate as possible to the history, a few bits may be changed for the sake of the story** **there will be trigger warnings (and a preface), this fic deals with physical abuse and drug addiction** Comments and votes are appreciated, I do repay the favour ;)

Just when Paul thought he had it all in life, young Victoria Taylor comes to prove him wrong. Paul is forced to adopt her underage lover in order to be with her. There is some smut in here :)

In 1960s London, Lilith Jones is just a pub singer with red boots, a sharp wit, and no expectations beyond the next gig at Blue Ember. But when her cousin Pattie introduces her to the inner circle of The Beatles - and to Paul McCartney - her world quietly begins to unravel. What starts as a casual, secret entanglement becomes something far messier when Lilith finds herself falling for a man who already belongs to someone else. Jane Asher, Paul's long-distance girlfriend, is the silent weight between them - unknown at first, then unspoken, then undeniable. As fame and heartbreak collide, Lilith is left to navigate blurry lines: between music and memory, between desire and dignity, and between holding on and letting go. Along the way, she's caught between the safety of new beginnings and the haunting pull of what could've been - including a tender friendship with the kind-eyed Ellis, who just might offer the kind of love she doesn't have to hide. Told through slow-burning glances, stolen songs, late-night conversations and emotionally charged silence, -Silver Spring- is a story about the people we almost love, the versions of ourselves we leave behind, and the question that lingers in the aftermath of heartbreak: |"Can you still be mine, even if you were never really mine to begin with?"|

― "I love you more than life itself," ― Althea Potter had always been a light. Where James burned wild and reckless, she glowed warm and steady, drawing people in with her laughter, her kindness, and her stubborn belief that everyone carried a spark worth loving. She was the sister who brightened shadows, the girl who never let anyone feel unseen. Regulus Black, on the other hand, was born of shadows. Cold where she was warm, distant where she was tender, sharp where she was soft-he was a boy sculpted by duty, drowning beneath the weight of a name that demanded silence, obedience, sacrifice. They were opposites, orbiting each other in disdain. She saw him as cruel and unfeeling, and he saw her as naïve and foolish. Yet the world has a way of binding the unwilling, and war makes strange companions of enemies. Slowly, through whispered arguments and stolen glances, Althea discovered the boy beneath the mask, and Regulus found himself yearning for the light he had spent his life rejecting. But love in times of war is fragile. It does not always save. Sometimes it destroys, quietly, beautifully, tragically. And when the end came-as it always would-they both learned that hatred can turn to love, and love can burn into something fiercer still. Something unshakable. Something eternal. Something that could only be called devotion. ☽｡⋆

Celia Pooley has always disliked her classmate, John Lennon. He's arrogant. Obnoxious. A loudmouth. A prankster beyond belief- and for five years, she's had to put up with every irritating part of him. When sixteen-year-old Celia and John find themselves forced into each other's company, they slowly become drawn to each other in a way that seems to confuse them both and slowly but surely, their affection for each other flourishes and their lives begin to change in a way neither of them expected. 'Growing Up Beside You' follows Celia and John's life through their rebellious and adventurous rock n roll teenage years, to the hardships of young adulthood where the decision to follow their head or heart takes its toll on love. What does fate have in store for John and Celia and will the two of them always have each other, or will something or someone stand in the way? A coming-of-age, romance story, following the journey of new friendships, sorrows, first loves and all the joys and complications that come with it. ** FYI: •This is a SLOW BURN story. •The other Beatle lads will eventually appear but it will be much later on in the timeline! ** Beatle focus: John Year: 1957 onwards Genre: Romance, Bildungsroman Warnings: Bad Language, violence, explicit adult situations, angst.
