In My Life
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.Complete

When John is grieving over Julia's death, Paul realizes that maybe there's another side to him, a softer side. All he wants to do is help, but will this lead to more problems for the both of them?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.

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. ( Set in the 1950s ) [ Mclennon/Starrison ]Complete
