A Silent Question by 15clubsaday

John has always been fond of Paul, but one night, he is shocked by how intense his feelings really are. A wank that goes a bit... far sets off a string of events neither have the words to understand. Paul acts aloof, unbothered. John is tortured and confused. All they do is misread and misinterpret and miscommunicate for weeks. They both desperately miss each other, but neither know how to make sense of what's going on between them. This is a multi chapter story taking place in 1963 from the months of late October to Christmas time.

Growing Up Beside You [John Lennon/Beatles Fanfiction] by WalrusGumboots

Celia Pooley has always disliked her classmate, John Lennon. He's arrogant. Obnoxious. A loudmouth. A prankster beyond belief- and for five years, she's had to put up with every irritating part of him. When sixteen-year-old Celia and John find themselves forced into each other's company, they slowly become drawn to each other in a way that seems to confuse them both and slowly but surely, their affection for each other flourishes and their lives begin to change in a way neither of them expected. 'Growing Up Beside You' follows Celia and John's life through their rebellious and adventurous rock n roll teenage years, to the hardships of young adulthood where the decision to follow their head or heart takes its toll on love. What does fate have in store for John and Celia and will the two of them always have each other, or will something or someone stand in the way? A coming-of-age, romance story, following the journey of new friendships, sorrows, first loves and all the joys and complications that come with it. ** FYI: •This is a SLOW BURN story. •The other Beatle lads will eventually appear but it will be much later on in the timeline! ** Beatle focus: John Year: 1957 onwards Genre: Romance, Bildungsroman Warnings: Bad Language, violence, explicit adult situations, angst. There are a few conscious changes to real life events and places in the timeline of this story which have been changed for narrative purposes. *I DO NOT take credit for the artwork.

Got To Be Good-looking ('cause he's so hard to see) by ArabianKnights

A disguised John repeatedly taunts the far from innocent 'heroine' of the tale who can give back as much as she receives. Paul and Linda help and hinder the situation in equal measure too! ......Welcome to Scotland '73: Nirvana for her and a visit to re-gather memories with an old mate for the him. John & Clare have no idea who the other is and that is what makes this trip so much fun. Swearing, rude bits, crap bits lol !! ****Please comment so I can learn and get better!**** **Got To Be Good-Looking ('cause he's so hard to see) is a work of fiction.

He's Leaving Home by RingosLiverpool8

What if Paul left before The Beatles were even The Beatles? It's a modern AU where Paul's mother dies giving birth to Mike and Jim blames Mike for her death. Paul takes beatings from him (I don't actually think of Jim McCartney in this way at all) in order to keep him off Mike. Paul had just gotten in a relationship with John, but will Paul's mistake keep them apart or will they find each other again? Originally posted on AO3.

This Boy - Mclennon by mclennunf

A/U: In highschool Paul is not the most popular kid, with a rough background. He meets John Lennon, a more popular lad. John finds out Paul's secret, why he's so down.. Can he help him? Warnings: Trigger warnings perharps, smoking, swearing and sexual content eventually. obviously mclennon.

No reply by existentials

Paul had always looked up to the most intimidating teddy boy in town, John Lennon. They were best friends, band mates, and maybe even a little more in time. 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?

Sex Tape (A McLennon Story) by mysweetchord

!!DISCLAIMER : THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR is CassieVulcan on Deviantart/Livejournal. John's having money issues, there seems to only be one way out. * THIS IS NOT MY STORY. IVE NEVER CLAIMED THIS STORY AS MINE. I ONLY REPOSTED IT. If the original author requests the removal of this story and DMs me, I will gladly do it.

High on you by Yours-Sincerely

~ (modern au Mclennon and Starrison) Socialite Paul McCartney and his socially awkward mate George Harrison have been living a comfortable life until it is thrown out of loop when the vibrant John Lennon and Unique Ringo Starr enter it. (Modern au rotating updates with my other two on going fics)

Living on the Streets - McLennon AU by Stxrry_Mxcca

Things seem to be looking up for teenager Paul McCartney in the summer of 1955, up until his mother falls seriously ill. After her death, he writes his feelings in a diary he got for his birthday, not thinking that maybe one day his father would come across it. His secrets lead to his downfall, and now Paul has to learn how to deal with his new life. (A/N- I've only been to Liverpool once so sorry if some of these things are incorrect, however most of the aspects of this story are supposed to be different to what actually happened.)

In My Life by macca4ever

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.
