When Archie Murray is in LA in August of 1966, she is suddenly met with a blast from the past. In her mind he's still the eleven-year-old boy he was when Archie last saw him, but Paul McCartney is so much more. After a night of reconnecting, Archie is sure she won't see him again. That is until he walks back into her life, determined to stay there. Contains strong language and actions not suitable for a young audience. Most of it is skippable, though. Read at your own risk. I'll try to keep this story as historically accurate as possible. But there are bound to be some mistakes. It remains a work of fiction and should be treated as such.

A lot can happen in one year, and no one knows this better than The Beatles themselves. Life turns from the regular mundane, and sometimes even scary push and pull of Liverpudlian life, to a rush of gigs, recordings, and meetings. Sleep is luxury and an excessive work ethic is necessary. For John, a man always in need of sort of rebellion, this set responsibility and structure in his life feels insufferable. Despite the fact that he's almost at the height of his career, and that he's doing exactly what he imagined he would be when he got his first guitar, he's not happy. Manager Brian Epstein finds one medium that, no matter what, pulls John in and captures his attention; the art of story making and literature. In order to keep John sane, or at least functional and happy, Brian pairs him with one of Liverpool's upcoming journalists, Evelyn Sinclair. A ghostwriter of sorts, she works with the man to create stories, write about special events, and allows John to express himself on a different spectrum than songwriting. What happens when Evelyn finds out that perhaps John's in need of a bit more than a writing partner, though? What happens when the articles John gives her are more than just the typical things she was expecting; more than the run-of-mill day-to-day Beatle schedule? What will happen when she decides upon herself to stop publishing them? This is story of two people: John Lennon and the journalist that hid it all. © 2017 WINSTONOBOOGIE Disclaimer: This is a Beatles fanfic, meant solely for entertainment purposes. This should not be read as a biography or be thought of as a nonfiction piece. Evelyn and every piece of dialogue in this is (sometimes) conjuncture and most of the time complete and utter imagination.

Anna Kelly has been eyeing him since she moved to Liverpool in the summer of 1957. A mutual obsession with rock n' roll and their big dreams bring them together on the top level of the Number 5 bus. A relationship is forged through the ups and downs of their teenage years. Friends come and go, opportunities arise and fade away. Both struggle to find themselves and follow their own dreams while maintaining their romance amidst the transition from the buttoned-up 50s into the looser 1960s.

Paul McCartney has got a chance to change John Lennon's fate. There's a man with magic powers who somehow becomes Paul's friend along the way. There are a handful of time traveling organizations, none of which are exactly what they appear to be. Oh, and something really needs to be done about the fact that John seems to be in love with Paul... [Paul McCartney/John Lennon]

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, full of trust, betrayal, secrets, love, lies, hope...and the Beatles. *** Achievements 2025 Grand Winner - Fanfiction 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.
