AU: late 50's early 60's (it's going to be a little strange just bare with me) Being part of the lgbtq+ while legal (in this au) is still very much not accepted (and things like hrt, binders, packers, surgeries, and the like are also available in this au). and this works for most people, except for Paul. Paul is a young boy living in Liverpool, but he never thought people would see him as a man and he never thought he would call Liverpool home. He's a lonely lad attending a boring highschool, but everything changes when he meets a boy named John Lennon.

======================================
"You don't look different,
but you have changed.
I'm looking through you;
you're not the same."
The year is 1976 and the Beatles were a legendary band of the past. Old news, even. A distant memory that, at one point in time, took the entire world by storm.
But that was years and years ago... Since, the band has gone through a pretty bitter break up.
Though, memories don't fade away so easy. Paul McCartney knew that better than anyone else.
Paul notices himself thinking back on old times more often than ever before. Dwelling on the unresolved problems between himself and the others... Well, the problems he has with one person in particular.
John Lennon.
Paul wants to repair the apparent issues left behind him with his ex-partner... his ex-lover, and it's no secret to anybody in his "new" life.
One day, even his wife, Linda, suggests to Paul that he should go and visit the lad in New York City. So? What else is he to do, but... make a surprise trip?
