Summary
John and Paul have agreed to a certain type of meet up over the years. There's no rules, not technically, but they're always quick and convenient. And there's definitely not this much talking.

Summary
John Lennon, tired dad, walking disaster, expert at all things inappropriate, is just about desperate enough to take the first job that’ll have him. He doesn’t expect it to land him inside the polished office of Apple Corps, wrangling calendars and crises. And he definitely doesn’t expect his new boss to be bloody millionaire Paul McCartney, charming, infuriating, and far too good at making John forget he’s supposed to be working.
Somehow he ends up as a personal assistant, a job he’s wildly unqualified for, except maybe in sarcasm and showing up late. Between flat whites, childcare, and more longing than he'd ever like to admit, John discovers that working for Paul might be the biggest mess of his life… and somehow, the best thing that’s ever happened to him.
Edit: On hiatus. This work is NOT abandoned.

Summary
Kept boy John Lennon is feeling stuck. His art is going nowhere, and he has the sinking feeling his sugar daddy is losing interest in him. To make matters worse, it seems all of London is abuzz with talk of the new boy on the scene. Robert Fraser's new pet is pretty, talented, spoiled, and infuriating.
John can't stop thinking about him.

Summary
The first time Paul met the John Lennon, former lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist of the Beatles and one of the most famous men of anyone's generation, he almost took a cricket bat to his head.
Between trying to get his band off the ground and fucking his flatmate's hot, incredibly famous dad, Paul McCartney had a lot going on in his life.
