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.

Best Quotes of Freddie Mercury

It all started with a limited edition John Lennon vinyl, and an odd, annoying boy wearing a leather jacket, and oh so lucky tickets bearing the same six numbers. [contains cursing - a shitload of it & sexual content] [NOT A JOHN LENNON FANFICTION]

Scarlett Tyler never asked for an abusive boyfriend, a missing mother and an abandoning father. She never asked for that night at the party, or the nightmares that followed. She tried to avoid any ounce of conflict or drama. She never asked for anything. She also never asked for love. But she got it and found it within a friend. Who just so happens to be her best friend. Who just so happens to be one of the most popular guys in school. Who also just so happens to be John Lennon. He wasn't supposed to be in her big problem, but now he was. And if she only knew how he would handle it.

Julia Lennon, the child of Cynthia Powell and John Lennon. When her parents get divorced how much of an affect does it cause her to not have a father's guide in life? WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE!

It's the beginning of the summer of 1977. Final exams are over and 18 year old Monica Brannigan and her best friend Paula leave their troubled home city of Belfast to embark on a fun-filled three day trip to London for Paula's 18th birthday, and to look at the universities that they applied for. But for Monica, three days becomes an eternity when she falls head over heels for Freddie Mercury, one of the hottest and most elusive rockstars on the planet. She stays behind with him and goes on to have a wonderful and romantic relationship, and two beautiful and mischievous children. But after a few years together, Freddie's fame and flaws, as well as Monica's senseless and impulsive decision at such a young age, soon have painful consequences on the happy life that they have built together...

Its 1968 Cynthia Lennon feels that her marriage is crumbling every day she hopes that a trip to India can help her marriage but when a woman named Yoko Ono enters the picture things get more complicated. With guidance and new friendships can Cynthia finally get the opportunity to makes things different? (My version of rewriting history a little bit)

It's the year 1980 and John has been doing alot of thinking about Cynthia. He is feeling so guilty about the way he treated her in the past. He realises how much he actually needs her, but will she want to start over again with John after all of the pain and sadness he's caused her? (Sorry if my story isn't that good. It's the first time I've ever really wrote any fanfiction)

"Can you sayyyyy... HELLO?" Freddie asked his daughter eagerly. She was so small seating on his chest, she weighed like a feather to him. "Yello..." Elle cried back. Alice leaned to the side of the door, a grin formed on her face. Freddie could command a stadium of 70,000 people but trying to get the attention of his daughter meant more to him. "Can you sayyyy... Elle Mercury!" Freddie said, his voice went high pitch. "Yelle Curry!" she cried back, repeating her father. Freddie laughed at his daughter, her cuteness was too much for him to handle. "Good morning you two," Alice approached both of them by the couch. Freddie looked to Alice, in her silk white pajamas. He lifted his legs so Alice would seat on the opposite side of the couch, and then rested it back to her thighs. "Morning mama, sayyy... Good morning mama..." Freddie urged on his daughter. "No!" she cried back. Alice pouted at Elle to show her jealousy, then she stroked Elle's back asking for her attention. Indeed, she had to admit, both father and daughter had a different connection. When its fun time its always Freddie but when its restless, hungry, sleepy time it would be her Elle would turn to. Freddie lifted himself up so Elle would stand on his thigh, then lifting her up to blow on her stomach making farting noises. Elle burst into laughter, her hand was resting on Freddie's hair, pulling it telling him to stop. Alice's heart fluttered. She thought of the conversation they had the night before, about adding another one so that Elle could grow up with someone. She wanted another one, but Freddie refused. The pregnancy with Elle was smooth-sailing, it was a beautiful experience, she had the pregnancy glow throughout. But giving birth to Elle was a terrible experience for both of them, she lost a lot of blood and had complications. Freddie was scared that he was going to lose her, and Elle, and it was something he did not want to risk going through again.
