Don't Pass Me By // Mclennon
TRIGGER WARNING: contains homophobic slurs, alcohol abuse and NSFW content. ====================================== "Don't pass me by, don't make me cry, don't make me blue. '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 AngstyComplete![The Less I Know The Better [complete]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/170858129-256-k789649.jpg)
The Less I Know The Better [complete]
☞ In which mischievous teddy boy John Lennon attends Quarrybank Music Academy with his best friend Ringo Starr. Everything was just fine in his life; until a certain pretty boy by the name of Paul McCartney arrived at the school on a scholarship with a quiet but blunt George Harrison. John would make a mess of things and screw around in class, never taking anything seriously - Paul would be bossy, sticking to the rules to a tee, wanting everything his way and his way alone. From the start, they hated each other with a passion; but when they were forced to partner up and make a song together, things had to change.

The Blue Danube [OLD]
(disclaimer rly old and bad!!!) - Paul McCartney is the son of a wood chopper, barely scrounging on their savings to afford clothes and meals. As for John Lennon, it is quite the opposite.

He wishes for a new life, rebellious and sick of having to fake his whole life and be the "perfect son". Well, opportunity knocks for the young prince when his auntie hosts a masquerade for John's 18th and he meets the mysterious boy in the black mask.

The first day back, a boy by the name of John Lennon is in Paul's English class and, instantly, he makes Paul feel quite nervous. John was the personification of trouble. One day, John and Paul find eachother in an unexpected place and it changes both of their lives... in many more ways than one.
