I Told You So, All I Want Is You

Complete, ~11k words, rated T.

John has loved Paul since he was seventeen years old, and at thirty-four he finally faces it. Things fall apart, and then, eventually, come together.

happy pride month to these gay boys

I need someone to look at me the way Paul looks at John

[fishfingerpies]

I think maybe the thing that makes mclennon so captivating to me is the way that the yearning was so intense that even decades later it's still palpable. Like. John's been dead almost 50 years now and I can still feel the ache of whatever-the-fuck happened between them like it's a physical thing. Earth shattering levels of pining. Whatever.

Stephen Colbert: “When you close your eyes, do you hear the girls screaming?”

Paul McCartney: “Yeah, uh-…”

👇>>> Beatlemania screams ensue <<<

Ohhhh, you can see the memories just washing over Paul as he listens to those screams in the Ed Sullivan Theater …. And basks in that adulation he adores & appreciates 🥲

He even looks a little teary-eyed at a certain point, when taking in the audience’s screams: all the feels for Paul, I think 😭🥹🫶 (see picture below video)

They are captured so perfectly WOW

[fishfingerpies]

I've been into a couple of different fandoms lately so I've been a bit mia here, my apologies. Most likely I'll be back to writing mclennon fics sometime out of nowhere but cannot make any guarantees as to when... also I still have that one fic with over 100k words that I really don't know what to do with :( it's not anywhere near finished but it also seems like a shame to never post anything when so much is written. Anyway yeah we'll see but most likely will be less active for a while - but love y'all so much!!!
