Summary

Summary
A crash.
A cover-up.
A man forced into another’s shadow.Paul McCartney is gone, but the world must never know.
William is chosen, altered, and trained to become the face they loved.At first, it’s survival.
Then it becomes something else entirely.
Something he learns to enjoy.The crowds adore him.
The music lives through him.
And the lie begins to feel almost real.
His thoughts aren’t always his own.
Sometimes they sound like Paul.
Sometimes, he thinks as himself.But like water dripping through an old roof, the truth always finds its way in.
Even in disguise, no one stays dry forever.
When the rain comes—it pours.

Summary
John Lennon was far too excited about his new friend. He was parading around the kitchen where Mimi was cooking them dinner, talking nonstop about Paul McCartney, his new mate.
“John, quit bouncing around like that,” Mimi scolded. “You’re going to break something.”
John grinned, ignoring her as he practically vibrated around the room, “And—And I haven’t told you the best part! He plays guitar, Mimi! Just like me! He’s gonna be in my band!”
Mimi handed plates to John so he could set the table, sighing, “You two are about as similar as chalk and cheese.”
John couldn’t help but beam at that, a proud grin on his face as he chanted, “Chalk and cheese! Chalk and cheese! Chalk and cheese!" while Mimi maneuvered her way around him as she tried to serve their dinner.- Language:

Summary
This is my first fic and English isn't my first language, it may be bad, but it is what it is. Beatles AU based on the Diana Wynne Jones trilogy (Howl's moving castle, Castle in the air, House of many ways), this is just me combining my interests, because apparently looking for a job and renovating a whole house floor doesn't entertain me enough. I'm using the world building and kingdoms from the books, literally nothing I write is accurate, so don't take it seriously, thanks and have fun :)

Summary
His pastor had said temptation was the snake, slivering and beckoning you lower, but Paul had always known; temptation was the apple, something which begged to be bitten, something sweet on the tongue. Temptation was hunger, a constant ache in your stomach.
Or, Paul gives into his wanting

Summary
Paul and John, both in love, have no clue about each other's true feelings. Both are somehow avoiding the matter unintentionally, whilst feelings get hurt.
Paul struggles harder throughout the tour. His fathers health, new feelings, stress and never ending nightmares take a toll. Catching a break being a beatle is one thing, but having to hide it to himself will only eat him up.
The Mclennons get closer but in order for them to go forward they take a few steps back. A chain reaction of events takes place, solidified by one horrible night when John reunites with an ‘old friend’ and Paul suffers horrible consequences of his actions.
Somehow he and John find themselves closer than ever, but does Paul ever catch a break?

Summary
Billy took the information in and slowly nodded. He knew exactly who was the guy who inadvertently saved his life. It still didn't explain to him exactly what was going on. Why was the man in front of him acting the way he was? It was almost like…
“C'mon Paul, I know you don't exactly enjoy driving in the dark.”
Oh.
Billy's heart stuttered and he feared it'd stop. Oh God, this explained it. John Lennon thought he was bloody Paul McCartney.
or
A twist on the Paul is Dead theory, where Billy is not actually an evil manipulative doppelganger. Inspired a bit by the short 2018 film "Paul Is Dead", cause I bloody love it. (WIP)

Year of pain, years of self disgust. Imbedded as of a religion. Second chances come few, so what do you say when you get one? Embraces the danger, or shut it down. Alone.

Summary
“Where would we go?”
“Dunno, just a thought.” He pauses, taps some ash from his ciggie. “Hong Kong. Madagascar.” John rests his head on Paul’s shoulder, gazing up at him. “We might be able to do Paris.”
“Paris?”
“It wouldn’t cost much. We aren’t too old to hitchhike, find someplace to stay. Just to, y’know,” he hesitates. “We could exist somewhere else. Just you and me.”
The stench of cheap ale fills the air and Paul’s ear catches the wail of a car alarm parked across the way. He laughs because there is no Paris waiting for them here, in this creaky bed at the cheapest motorway hotel they can find 15 miles from Liverpool.
Some dreams aren’t real. Most, really.

They meet in 1960, neither yet 20. A summer that brings them together and tears them apart for the next two decades.
