"this thing called love, i just can't handle it." (roger taylor x oc) (slow-burn) ♡

[Wattys 2018 Winner + COMPLETE!] Cora is a modern day British girl in love with Paul McCartney... or so she thinks. That is, until history plays her a wild card and sends John Lennon forward in time to her. Everything changes-not only in her life as she become the Beatles' bass player and John's lover, but also in history when Cora realizes two things: one, that she's falling in love with John, and two, that that comes at a huge cost: because John met her, the Beatles never existed. She must eventually make a heartbreaking choice as she discovers exactly what sacrifice this generous gift the universe has bestowed on her means to the world.

"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 !

London, 1965. Beatlemania is at its peak as the Fab Four determine what direction their future will take. Paul McCartney is living out his every fantasy, but he's also wondering if it's all worth it. Until one day in Paris, he (quite literally) runs into someone who will change everything for him.

~ 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.
