  Thank you for talking the time to read my story. This is obviously a work of fiction. While many of the characters and events depicted in this story are real, there are also many that have been modified or created purely from my imagination. I do not own the Beatles or their likenesses (darn!). 
  
  The first few chapters of this story are quite Beatle-less. Please power through and I promise it will be worth it. These initial chapters are there to build backstory.

I'll Cry Instead by KGL1404

There was the mob, all reaching and grabbing at something on the ground. Several of them were screaming bloody murder (due to the excitement of the fallen Beatle or because they were being pushed and shoved was unknown). "Paul McCartney! It's him!" they shrieked in utter amazement as they ripped at his hair and his clothes.... The year is 1964, and The Beatles have made it big...maybe a little too big, for, everywhere they go, they're ambushed by fan girls. Usually, the lads from Liverpool are quicker than the crowd, but, one day, the fans happen to grab a hold of none other than The Beatles' bassist, Paul McCartney, effectively beating his body and mind to a pulp. This angst/hurt comfort story tells the tale of Paul McCartney, who has been scarred by the brutality of his attack, and his three friends, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, who are trying their best to help Paul and his paranoid state of mind. Will the three friends help Paul? Or will they only make his situation worse? If so, will Paul go so far as to quit being a Beatle? Read "I'll Cry Instead" to find out! Inspired by a story on Fanfiction.net called "Stage Fright." Do give that one a read, if you have the chance.

Let Me Go by beatle_mania

"Please just let us go," Paul pleaded, a desperate look in his eyes, same with the other three in the back. "Why would I let you go?" She asked. "You're mine now. I hope you got the chance to say goodbye." -*-*-*-*-*-*-* A crazed fan plots the kidnap of The Beatles. Once she has them all locked down in her basement, there is no hope for them. Will they ever see the light of day again? WARNING - BIP. BEATLES IN PERIL.

Anna (Go To Him) by rgall325

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. As life forces them apart, will they be able to rekindle the fire they once had while still finding success by their own metrics? Or will they forever be in the wrong place at the wrong time? **This story contains: swearing, sexually explicit content, drug and alcohol use, sexual assault, and situations of mild verbal and emotional abuse.

John The Ripper by CottonCandy90990

A lengthy story I've been working on with a mixture of horror, classic tales, & slash. ORIGINAL TALE: Jack The Ripper. A true story about a gruesome serial killer in the year of 1888 murdering 5 prostitutes, fucking with police, but was never caught. THIS tale: John Lennon is a skilled serial killer with a gruesome record. He scopes prostitutes and mercilessly kills them for his sick enjoyment. But what happens when he spots a handsome, young detective that drops his jaw? (McLennon, duh) Warnings: Language, Violence, gruesome content, mentions of sex, and light slash A/N: I took some content out of the true story of Jack The Ripper, such as small portions of real letters he actually wrote and dates. Enjoy...

Now and Then- 𝓂𝒸𝓁𝑒𝓃𝓃𝑜𝓃 by Kamiiruec

On December ninth, 2030, Paul McCartney was found dead in his home. And how coincidental it was that he passed on the morning after the fiftieth anniversary of John Lennon's death. Having been the final remaining Beatle, and having not outlived Yoko Ono, Paul took initiative and filmed a final, grand statement to be released upon his death. He spoke about everything: starting with that fated summer in '57 at the festival in Woolton, and about all throughout his life and career as a rock legend. He would also revisit and refine his previous statements about John Lennon, who he sites as his sole muse for this documentary, finally unveiling the true nature of their complicated relationship and rumored love affair that had been continually denied, until now. He even spoke, at last, about what truly happened during the band's trip to India in 1968: the trip that undeniably changed the chemistry between the Beatles forever, especially between himself and Lennon. Because there were many things that Sir James Paul McCartney had not spoken truthfully of: both now, and then.

I'm Only Sleeping...(Beatle Dreams) by paul_is_my_husband

All in the title. Every single Beatles dream I've had that I can remember. Read before opening! -I started writing/tracking these when I was in 8th grade. These may sound poorly written since I was just jotting them down! -Some of these may be slightly inappropriate. Sorry, but that's just how my brain works sometimes... -I will explain anything or anyone that is unknown to you guys. Hopefully this is interesting to you! 😉

In My Life by macca4ever

It's 1988. Paul McCartney is being interviewed for the David Frost show, about a rather controversial topic. Once home, he discovers the few simple questions stirred up a rather complicated element of his past. Disclaimer: No libel intended. I do not own the Beatles - just their records and some memorabilia. This story is fiction. Real life events are included, but I do not claim anything happened the way it's described in this fic. All of this was thought up by my over-active imagination. Warning: No explicit sex, but a lot of angst and one instance of violence. Should be suitable for teens and up. Read at your own discretion. A/N Please let me know what your opinion is. I enjoy a pat on the back, but I also value thoughtful criticism. Please just bear in mind that I'm a human being with feelings, so don't be too harsh. P.S. English is not my native language.

The Beatles Story #1: John and Paul (And...George) by NowhereFan

"Are you going to stand there like a stupid maniac or are you going to hurry up and do something maniacally stupid?" and "Put shit in their un-shit to make it shittier than our shit." Are just two lines that describe the story in which George writes a book about the 'greatest love story of all time' obviously involving his meddling in John and Paul's love life. And bringing poor Ringo into it too. Will John and Paul (and probably Ringo) kill George and spend life in prison? Or will they fall in love (probably without Ringo) and live happily ever after? Even if it is with George.

#1 The Beatles In 2016 by Ann_Annie

When The Beatles time travel and have no clue of what happened to them. They get separated and need to find themselves back together and try to survive here. Till they might... maybe.. come home. how will this turn out? Sequel: #2 The Beatles In 2016 The cover is made by this amazing person @XxRed-QueenxX She made a very great job :) A lot of you know The Beatles In 2013. This is not. NOT a sequel of that story. You can see this as a refresh/rewrite/reboot story. Please comment and/or vote. I'm always giving up on stories when I think nobody is reading them... If people react with comments or votes I'm better with finishing things.. Another thing I need to say. The start up is a little boring but I promise you, the story gets more excited when the first day is round. #Wattys2016 ---------- There is a podcast made of the story!!! I was contacted by @VodkaFridge if they could read The Beatles In 2016 on podcast and I gave them the permission and so they did! part 1 to 25, with a lot of randomness. Honesty, I have listened to it and it's hilarious and very enjoyable. But if you discover the book for the first time, you'd need to keep the story by hand otherwise you'd get lost. Definitive check them out. If the link doesn't work: • search for: "Vodka Fridge Productions" on spotify and then "#1 The Beatles In 2016 (Part A)" Definitive worth a check. • https://open.spotify.com/episode/3F1V4ISkfU0zKBFEKcwExF?si=WpOZB_NiTpiE75PA184rbw&utm_source=copy-link

Cry Baby Cry by KGL1404

This time, as I gazed up at his cheeky smile and bright hazel eyes, my insides were filled with despise. I hated him. No, 'hate' isn't a strong enough word. He was an abomination to me.
