[Just Like] Starting Over│Beatles/John Lennon FanFiction by nikszabo

Hamburg, 1960. Willa and Elsie March are on the run, and they find safety at the Bambi Kino in the red light district of Hamburg with five cocky, sometimes maddening, usually drunk, and bloody talented boys--the Beatles. Willa has never met anyone quite like John Lennon. He's everything she didn't know she'd been missing. "I thought about John, about our interactions and our late-night chats. He was without a doubt intense, and most definitely moody. He made me feel so many things--confused, annoyed, relieved, comfortable, content, and bloody irritated--but not nervous." And there's more to Elsie's relationship with Paul McCartney than she's willing to admit. This is their story, full of trust, betrayal, secrets, love, lies, hope...and the Beatles. *** Achievements 2025 Grand Winner - Fanfiction Category (The Nano Watt Awards) 2025 Amby Awards - Favorite *** •Part One: 1960 (Chp 0 - Chp 17) Started: March 5, 2023 Completed: June 27, 2023 •Part Two: 1961 (Chp 18 - Chp 36) Started: Sept 24, 2023 Completed: June 16, 2024 •Part Three: 1962 (Chp 37 - Chp 53) Started: Sept 29, 2024 Completed: March 23, 2025 *** Thank you so much to the amazing @strange_daisies for creating the cover! *** [Just Like] Starting Over is a work of fiction.

Charlotte catches the eye of the quiet Beatle and the two begin a close friendship, dying to become more. But what will happen to the two of them when Beatlemania kicks off? Will they make it work or is the public eye to much for the young couple? And what happens when Charlotte's privileged upbringing clashes with the working class hero George is? Updated every Tuesday.

Thank You Darling - Paul McCartney Fanfiction by itsallrocknroll

He never grew up after his loss, but she did. He had been living in the past for the last 17 years, refusing to move on from what happened. No one would ever touch his heart the same way until she came along. (This is the sequel to Sweetest Little Show. It's not entirely important that you read SLS, however, if you want more explanation and insight into the past events and the backstory, I recommend that you read it first.) • Writing and publishing began April-May 2020 • Completed August 2020 [UNDER EDITING]

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.
