So no one told you life was gonna be this way

Summary:

A Friends and Beatles cross-over set in the modern era

Notes:

During lockdown, I was watching a familiar TV-show and it made me think of 4 (Fab) Friends from Liverpool. This was just a fun little thing to help me pass time and I figured, maybe it'll bring someone else some joy. It's all in good fun, 99% of it is not mine, except for a few changes here and there. It's therefore written in script style. To get in the mood, maybe watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgBiu9ct2cA

Chapter 1: Introduction

Chapter Text

Intro:

This story is set in 2015 - 2016-ish in London (and Covid will not exist). John and Ringo are ca. 23/24 years old, Paul is ca. 21/22 years old, George a year younger. John, Paul and George have been friends since they were kids and teens. All three went to college together in Liverpool. They met Ringo during a summer in Hamburg, all starting to play in a band together back in Liverpool. After George graduated, the guys went to Hamburg for a bit and after that, moved to London. All four of them were living together until George moved in with his girlfriend Pattie. The three others stayed together for a while until Paul’s grandmother handed over her apartment to her grandsons, so Paul moved in with Mike and one of Mike's friends. Ringo moved into the apartment next door with a roommate as John and his friend Pete took over their friend Stu’s apartment, who moved in with his girlfriend Astrid, someone they all met in Hamburg. After Mike and his friend moved back to Liverpool, Mike's girlfriend Rowena moved in with Paul, along with Paul's new friend, Linda. George has married Pattie while John has moved in with Cyn, his old girlfriend from Liverpool.

As the story begins, Linda is no longer living with Paul, but Rowena is. Ringo still lives across from Paul, but his roommate Tony is moving out. John and George's living situations are about to change.
