Today of all days: fics in which John is old and happy!

Take a sad song, and make it better (@javelinbk). Excellent fix-it. “What would have happened if John had taken up Paul’s offer to come to the UK in 1980?” There’s also a Christmas follow-up and a sweet, fluffy extra!

(Just Like) Starting Over (dollylux). 8 December 1980, and John and Paul are writing together. The magic is still there.

Would you still love me if I were a worm? (@unchaineddaisychain). Old McLennon discuss hypotheticals. In bed. This is how it should have been!

Here Today (HerSpecialAgent005). John and Paul got together in the 1970’s, and live in Scotland. In December 1980, they invite friends and family for a cozy dinner—but Paul feels anxious for no reason he can explain…

Grow Old with Me (@inherownwr1te). Old McLennon on the Scottish farm, a broken arm, taking care of each other. Old love at its finest!

oh darling, pardon me (can you help me remember?) (@inherownwr1te; set in the same ‘verse as “Grow Old With Me”): Paul is nervous about the release of his and John’s next album. John soothes him with a tried-and-true method…by combing his legs. Seeing these two being sweet and bantering together is good for the soul.

Take the shape my body makes (backbenttulips). Mid 1980s. Married McLennon find themselves in a sex shop, watch Beatle porn, and fuck. Then they shop at Williams Sonoma. Pure Utopian bliss.

Having Coffee (dornfelder). “In a world where Mark Chapman doesn’t shoot John Lennon, the Beatles reunite in 1982. In 1983, John and Paul are outed by the tabloid press.It’s 2020, and two journalists are on their way to meet them in their home in Central London.” Interview/Article fic that nails the reporting voice and John and Paul’s voices perfectly.

everything that dies someday comes back (@backbenttulips). 2008. Paul is divorcing Heather; John is out as bi. After a lifetime of being friends and loving others, they are free to declare their love. I’m enjoying this one, because it honors the other relationships in both of their lives, while also leaving space for the lifelong big love they never lost: each other.

I have a mouth and I must screem

Right now, I love you more right now 🪐

So yeah… I can’t stop listening to the real life/love demo

What time does this documentary come out???! Midnight Eastern Time? What? (No I’m not ignoring my family why do you ask?)

We’re all thinking it!! Don’t make me say it!! 💅🏻

made the bus in seconds flat found my way upstairs and had a smoke and somebody spoke and I went into a dream

Sometimes I see a photo like this one and think, “Maybe we’re playing too small. It isn’t McLennon OR Starrison. It’s yes, and. Maybe the Beatles… is just two gay couples.” 🤣

that's just common sense, I fear
