Fic: One of the Beautiful People

A Rivals to Lovers AU

Kept boy John Lennon is feeling stuck. His art is going nowhere, and he has the sinking feeling his Sugar Daddy is losing interest in him. To make matters worse, it seems all of London is abuzz with talk of the new boy on the scene. Robert Fraser's new pet is pretty, talented, spoiled, and infuriating.

John can't stop thinking about him.

“John: I’m just trying to ask, do you want it back, Paul? I’m just asking do I want it back, whatever it is. Enough. And if it is enough, I’d have to swallow me ego for you. I’d have to smother me jealousy for you, to carry on for whatever reason there is. I can’t–I’m not putting any blame on you for suddenly realizing it, see, because it was my game, you know. It might have been masochistic, but the goal was still the same: self-preservation. And I knew what I liked about that. Paul: I know, I know that this thing–I feel whatever is it that you have– John: I feel that you have. Because suddenly you’ve got it all, you see. I know that–because of the way I am, at Mendips and I said ‘do you like me?’ or whatever it is. I’ve always um, played that one.”

Your art is perfect... I have no words to say how beautiful it is, I love it!!!! I've been following you very recently, but I've already seen all your art hehehe

I realized that you don’t have much mclennon age gap, could you do it with 1980 john and 1960 paul?

(´▽`ʃ♡ƪ) you flatter me! yes! ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

McLennon Files Quiz!

For the past year or so, @st-johns-wood and I (as well as other great volunteers) have been working on the McLennon Files Archive, a collection of material relating to John and Paul's relationship, stored for posterity on the Internet Archive. The project is intended to have all this material in one secure place, as it can be hard to find on Tumblr and doesn't always have the right dates or attributions. We've recently passed a milestone of 600 items on this archive, and to celebrate @st-johns-wood had the idea of making a quiz! All answers can be found by searching on the archive - why don't you test your McLennon knowledge and get to know the archive!

What press conference do we see John doing

Tips: There are many ways to find material on the archive - you can filter content by year, creator, subject term, type of material etc - more detailed tips on searching here. You can also use the search bar at the top of the collection - most significant terms will come up in object descriptions.

Let us know in comments or reblogs how you get on!
