~ Part 1 ~ Beatrix is trying to finish her first novel in 1966 when she meets Paul at a party thrown by the art dealer Robert Fraser. Starting an affair with Paul McCartney is a terrible idea, but she just can't seem to stop herself. 1966 is a transformative year for Paul with the release of Revolver, the genesis of Sgt Pepper, and the end of the Beatles touring years. Paul is trying to reconcile being both an artist and a Beatle when he meets Beatrix. ~ Part 2 ~ As Beatrix is increasingly drawn into the chaotic and bizarre circus of the Beatles' inner circle, she tries to find her place as Paul's partner without losing herself in the process. 1967 is a year of epic highs and dramatic lows for Paul as the Beatles release Sgt Pepper, meet the Maharishi, and embark on a Magical Mystery Tour. In some ways Beatrix is still elusive to him, but these days he is very familiar with what her knickers look like. - Disclaimer: this is a work of fiction. All characters, even those who share names or bear likenesses to real people, living or dead, are fictional. (Formerly known as The Lonely People)

But a splashing meeting with a cocky Paul McCartney in August of 1964 permanently shatters her view of the world as she struggles to define their relationship. And when she gets an offer she never could've hoped for, she quickly learns that making her dreams come true might mean that she has to sacrifice the deepest and strongest love she's ever known. But by 1967, her idea of happiness has never been more uncertain as she pushes her limits to a breaking point.

[George Harrison x OC] *TRIGGER WARNING - This story contains sensitive topics that some people might find triggering. If you're easily triggered, then please take caution while reading this story* George Harrison is a world-famous guitarist and member of The Beatles. The year is 1964, and Beatlemania is in full swing. Girls all over the world are screaming and swooning at the sight of him. He's living the life, as it appears, but the only thing he wants is a break from the fame. Somewhere he can escape to without getting mobbed by a swarm of fans. Clover Quinton is a brilliant Yale student with strict, wealthy parents. They're forcing Clover to become a neurosurgeon, with no verbal dispute from her. Although seemingly in-order and successful, Clover is severely depressed and goes to extreme lengths to help cope with the immense amount of stress she undergoes daily. She is extremely intimidated by her parents, and does everything they tell her to, no matter how much it hurts her. All Clover wants is an escape from her daily struggles, and the guts to tell her parents how she really feels. One night, when Clover is overwhelmed with homework and studying, her best friend Maria Sims forces her to go out to a club with her. Having just taken depression medication, Clover becomes blackout drunk despite not drinking very much. The same night, George Harrison wakes up on a park bench near that same club with nothing but the clothes on his back and a strange locket he won at a poker game in his pocket. George finds the bar and recognizes Clover as the woman inside the locket and tries to ask her for help. Clover, however, is incapable of forming a coherent thought and instead ends up inviting him to her home and passing out on the kitchen floor. Once Clover regains consciousness and hears George's story, she becomes determined to help him find a way home.
