    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

    The story of Mary Mohin McCartney, from her early life on a farm in Ireland to her nursing career in Liverpool, marriage to Jim and her two children, Paul and Michael. In this universe, Mary does not die and witnesses the beginnings of her elder son's career, with mixed feelings. She has memories and an inner life her family never know of, indeed that she spends a lot of time trying not to know herself. She is first and foremost a worker, but poetry still keeps finding a way to break through.

    Summary

    Two sides of the same coin, yet worlds apart. One—a reckless heart, unwilling to trust, shielding itself from pain. The other—a shadowed deity, untouchable and godlike, moving through the world with fearless grace.

    The traitorous Blackbird God will reveal himself, and the Raven must pierce the veil of myth to understand him.

    Like Nyx, the primordial Night born from Chaos in Greek mythology, a void before creation itself, their souls burn with unbridled fire. Their unhinged passions and untamed desires must be unleashed, that their hearts might learn to love, to be loved, and to trust once more.

    Can walls built for a lifetime finally crumble?
    Are there eyes that can see the true colors hidden within a soul?

    Summary

    A bruise on Paul’s cheek isn’t something John can ignore — not when it comes from home.
    One rainy evening turns into an unplanned overnight stay, the kind where the quiet says more than either of them is ready to.

    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

    A realm torn by darkness and hate. Racial tension deeply cultivated — every soul who tried to fight it and change this obscure ship’s course, crushed like flowers stepped on by boots. Two people destined to find each other.
    A human royal heir, skilled warrior and hunter, who knew nothing but the bitterness fed by his father — a cruel and violent king. Deep inside, the prince is a wounded man who fights the grief of his mother’s death — holding on to fragments of her smile and to the snippets he knows about her tragic fate. There was a softness to John that he never got to show, not even to himself — honey-brown eyes longing for deep and meaningful connection.
    An elf, always filled with compassion and kindness — dangerous traits for such a cruel world. Moonlighted skin and bright hazel eyes, still too naive and too young. Grasping to his mother’s beliefs, he balanced his distrust of humans — the ones responsible for her death — with the desire for fairness for every living thing. There was always a fierceness and strength to Paul, or Aerlas, as the elves would call him — holy-leaf.
    Could they be, in a world so full of resentment and hatred?

    Summary

    It’s been a year since Paul’s mum passed, and he’s not in the mood for band practice. John notices, skips out early, and turns up in Paul’s room instead. There’s warmth under the grief, a blanket, a couple of kisses… and maybe Jim McCartney sees more than they think.
