John finds a box in his attic filled with memories of Paul. Delving into the past, while Paul returns in the present, John struggles with fate--namely, can history take a different course on December 8th, 1980? [McLennon]

[ 1965 ] John and Evie broke up 6 months ago. It's been 3 months since they last saw each other. And even longer since they stopped connecting. But John can't get over the breakup. He can't sleep. He just wants to talk to her to get some closure. He's written her letters. He's called many, many times. He's taken a trip to Evie's old flat. But Evie is nowhere to be found.

'Cause you know, Darling, I love only you." John Lennon has just found himself moving to a rural town shrouded in thick woods and greenery, forced to leave his childhood friends back at home. He has to quickly adapt to new changes, a new school and new people. All in the midst of financial trouble and losing his own Mother. This place is nearly abandoned, except for a few small shops here and there, very sparse. A complete polar opposite from his life in Liverpool. Everyday, John goes down to a little lake, Penny Lake, just as a way to ease his mind. He notices the same ebony-haired boy with his own group of friends visiting the lake, as well. And really, all John wants to do is to, somehow, get that Paul-boy alone so that the two of them can become... closer. This has proven itself to be a difficult challenge as George, Paul's best mate, is inseparable from Paul. Nearly attached at his hip. Not only that, but other problems arise seemingly out of thin air. Will John be able to talk to the boy and find similar interests between them? Or will something deeper unfold right before their eyes? ====================================== - Completed - Ranked #1 in the Mclennon Tag and #1 in Starrison - HELLA Angsty
