Summary
This is the third and final part to the story "Carry that Weight" which continued with "Hello/Goodbye" and now ends here. We begin with a prologue.
The last book ended on a very happy note. And there is still happiness, here. But...all is not yet perfect and a lot of bad is still meant to happen (this IS an 'angst series' after all) ...

Summary
This is an immediate continuation of "Carry that Weight", and pics up on New Years Eve/Day 1966. It begins with someone being accidentally dosed with LSD, and with Paul gleaning an insight that helps him feel stronger and more able to recover some of his sexual energy, which is pretty explicitly covered in the first three chapters. After that, THE ANGST COMES HARD AND HEAVY as one or Paul's attackers begins to reach out to him, taunting and threatening. Events force the investigation of Paul's rape into a new area.
MEANWHILE: John's bad judgement continues as his own PTSD goes unaddressed and he spirals downward and downward into places we never thought he would go. 1966 begins most dreadfully for Paul and for John.

Summary
A month after receiving their MBE’s Paul McCartney is ready to argue that the Beatles have as much or more power and social influence as those who would like to influence the band. Arrogant? Maybe, but it's no justification for what happens to him after someone spikes his drink during a meet-and-greet with the toffs. Thus begins a nightmare for him, for the band, and especially for John Lennon and the whole "McLennon" relationship. Note TRIGGER WARNINGS as you see them.
Although it wasn't written as such, the short story "The French Kiss" is a good prologue to this book.
This story is ENTIRELY a work of fiction, and a product of my own imagination. I do not own the Beatles and wouldn't wish any of this on them.

Summary
While filming a very brief, tiny exchange of dialogue with Paul McCartney, John Lennon just can't pull himself together and get it done. The problem is Paul's lips. Every time John speaks the line, his eyes fall to Paul's lips and John just can't help himself. He can't stop smiling... and lusting.

Summary
Note: Meta/Essay:
I've had the idea in my head for some time that the allegedly "nonsense" song "Hey Bulldog" is actually a song about John and Paul's relationship in late 1967/early 1968, from John's perspective, combining both love and frustration. This essay explains why I think this.Bookmarked by waveofahand

Summary
After “How Do You Sleep?,” John is overwhelmed with guilt and realizes his cruelty toward Paul was really a desperate attempt to get Paul’s attention. The song, the public attacks, even bringing Yoko into the studio were all ways of trying to make Paul react but instead, John only pushes him further into Linda, family, and life on the farm.
One night, alone at the Dakota while Yoko is in Japan, John has a terrifying dream that Paul has killed himself in Scotland because of John’s public aggression. He wakes convinced it is real, rushes downstairs in a panic, and the night valet assures him Paul is alive and it was only a dream.
Shaken and unable to be alone, John invites the valet upstairs for a drink and confesses everything: his guilt, his jealousy, his love, his need for Paul, and the truth behind his cruelty. The story unfolds with John revealing his deepest thoughts about Paul, before shifting to Paul’s quiet life on the farm in Scotland.

Summary
A straight-lined full-draped jacket with broad square shoulders and velvet cuffs. His drainpipe trousers hug his legs in a way that’s hazardously flattering. He smooths a hand over his pink-striped waistcoat, grinning like a loon at his reflection. He has never felt this empowered, this invincible, this dangerous.
The oily sculpture of his jelly-rolled quiff gleams in the light streaming in through the window - a literal illumination occurring in the humble bedroom of one young John Lennon.
This is what he wants to do. This is what he wants to be.
