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.

Now and Then- 𝓂𝒸𝓁𝑒𝓃𝓃𝑜𝓃
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.

[Just Like] Starting Over│Beatles/John Lennon FanFiction
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 Winner - 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.

What happens when a girl who's living in London from the year 2022 discovers an unconscious and young Paul McCartney lying upon her doorstep? Does she scream? Does she help him?

All of these questions will be very promptly answered if you decide to give this book a read. ;-) Alright, so this is my attempt to write a Paul McCartney time travel story. I know there's quite a few of these types of stories, but I wanted to write my own version...and imagine what it would be like to get to hang out with a young Paul McCartney in London, haha. I really hope you'll like it, because I've tried to write it in a more laidback and lighthearted manner, as opposed to the heavy angst I usually write.
