Chapter 1

Chapter Text

He knew there was something off with Paul.

 

Maybe it was when Paul got overly defensive about scrolling through his camera roll.

Or maybe in the way he would get outright snarky when someone asked if he had a Twitter.

So, he lurked.

 

He went on Twitter; he search up “Paul McCartney.” No accounts, figures.

 

Maybe just Paul? Nope. James? No.

 

macca? Bingo. An account called- “Maccanon_ser”

 

but this wasn’t what he was expecting. It was incomprehensible.

 

it was jarring.

so he created a fake profile- going by “Winnie.” A 20 year old boy from Birmingham.

 

and he started to get attatched.

 

⚠️⚠️IMPORTANT INFO. You will probably be confused the entire time if you don’t read this.⚠️⚠️

-the entire story is John’s pov

-if the messages are on Twitter, that means John is undercover. Paul does not know he is talking to John.

-it is 2019 in this au
