Gonna be honest a lot of people deep down view cheating as worse than abuse which is why so many people view downright controlling and manipulative behavior in a relationship as 100% permissible so long as that behavior is centered around either preventing or discovering cheating.

what r ur fav mclennon fics/beatles fics in general with the best characterization? like ones u think really cut to the core of who they were/are as people?

oooooooh yes this is a fun one i've been thinking about this. this isn't an exhaustive list but here are some faves ! not all mclennon, but quite a few mclennon ones on here i'll call this my list of character study fic recs, because a lot of fics i think have good grasps on characterization but that's not really the focus. so these ones, the character study is Central to the point

in no particular order...

unreflected by @good-to-drive

rating: mature pairing: john/paul word count: 4k Paul’s reflection was like a film strip cast onto empty, black air, and he watched it, spellbound, wondering who exactly had created that shimmering image. An encounter with John in front of a mirror brings up strange feelings for Paul about image, reflections, and the parts that usually go unreflected. my note: SUCH a good paul character study. in part because the author is so, so good at being objective about the beatles like genuinely a masterclass at being objective about the beatles.

cut my brain into hemispheres by @cammareri

rating: explicit pairings: john/yoko, john/paul word count: 9k John's not unaware that over the past year, he's starting looking like a dyke. He just hadn't expected that real dykes would start making passes at him. Or; the Great Gender Spiral of 1968. my note: the most beautiful john lennon gender exploration fic to ever grace the earth i cannot rec this one enough. i love this one. this is such a good john character study And a great yoko and paul character study. just gorgeous. please read this, even if you're not convinced real life john lennon had gender issues

the periphery by @thegirlwiththeaxe

rating: mature pairings: george/paul, george/jurgen, john/paul word count: 24k George sometimes feels like he’s on a merry-go-round, all the lights and sounds and people passing too fast. Nothing that lasts long enough to hold onto, nothing that ever stays in focus. He’s waiting for the inevitable halt, when he’ll have to step off, but he worries he’ll be so dizzy he’ll just collapse. The Beatles return to Hamburg in 1961. It's going to be good this time. George will make sure it is. my note: SUCH a good george character exploration, god. just perfect. and luna also writes the paul and john of it all so good here without making them Evil. it's just so good and so george

tell me all my love's in vain by @midchelle

rating: mature pairings: pattie/mo, mo/ringo, pattie/george, mo/george word count: 6k Mo & Pattie, back and forth. 1964-1974 my note: this changed my entire world and made me so depressed that there's not a thriving beatles femslash fandom bc holy fuck. one of the best fics i've read in the fandom. crazy what happens when you write female characters as their own people and not extension of the men they're married to........ insanely good pattie & mo character study

miles away by candle_beck

rating: mature pairing: john/paul word count: 10k Insomnia as a terribly romantic character trait. my note: really anything by candle_beck is an excellent character study, but i really love this one. it's an excellent john study from the point of view of everyone else.

1967 by Please_Dont_Wake_Me

rating: mature pairing: john/paul word count: 11k In 1961, John Lennon and Paul McCartney left abruptly on a trip to Spain, via France. In 1967, they finally come home to face the consequences. my note: god this one is one of my all time favorites, it's so so so good. it's such a good character study on both john and paul and their relationship to each other and everyone else in their early lives. it's all outsider pov too and just really unique.

way up top by @boshemians

rating: explicit pairing: john/paul word count: 12k Falling out of the sky, together. | Snapshots of the Beatles in Greece, July 1967 my note: multiple pov and all so fleshed out god this one is gorgeous. i especially love how well written and fleshed out the women are in this one. sooooo good

she's not a girl who misses much by philcollins

rating: explicit pairings: yoko/paul, john/paul, yoko/linda (minor) word count: 12k Paul had a new bird. The opposite of what he usually goes for, small and dark, drowning in her clothes, nothing like the blonde long legged water birds he surrounds himself with. Japanese too, and divorced. Poor old Jim would have a heart attack if he knew. my note: i found out this was deleted yesterday and then it's immediately back up bc god wants you all to read it (jk, thank you so much to the author for putting it back up, this fic is seriously gold). i talk about this fic so much it's so beautiful thank you philcollins for your service. what can i say. this fic is everything for yoko enjoyers. she's so yoko here it's like the author has a soul tie with her or something. no notes.

Can we talk about how Project Hail Mary is inherently a story about wonder and kindness? It is a story where there is no villain. It is everyone against the problem, not against each other. Even the Astrophage would have been humanity’s greatest stroke of good luck in history if it weren’t dimming the sun. It would have solved energy.

Book-Grace first wanted to get more involved in Project Hail Mary, not because he wanted to redeem his sullied academic reputation, but because he realised that if no solution is found, the children in his classroom will grow up in hell. They will have to become the generation that has to bear the brunt of the nightmare of the sun dimming. In a way, leaving the classroom and entering the lab to study Astrophage was his first selfless act in the story.

The astronauts who were assigned to board the Hail Mary partied and discussed how they wanted to die while laughing, not because they’re just stupidly brave, but because they know what their sacrifice means. They get to protect the people they love. They get to protect Earth. And they get to do it together. So what else can they do but laugh about it? Why not drink and sing and dance and experience being human as much as they can before they go?

And Grace cares so much too. He feels defined by his failures. His theories were wrong, he was kicked out, he settled as a middle school science teacher after his partner left him because he couldn’t stop dreaming of science that others called crazy. He has insane imposter syndrome. He was dreaming of what lies beyond the stars his entire life.

And through all that he was chosen to be placed aboard the Hail Mary from pure happenstance. He’s knowledgeable in the relevant branches of research, he’s already involved in Project Hail Mary, he has no friends, family, or even pets. But he was still a person who wanted to live. So he had all the reason in the world to sabotage the mission after waking up and regaining his memories. After all, he was going to die in space anyways; what’s the fate of Earth to him? Why should he care about saving their sun after they left him to die in the vast abyss of space lightyears away from home?

And yet, he doesn’t. He does his best, risks his life, to find a way to save Earth. Because it’s the right thing to do. Because they sent him up to his death, but they sent him with handmade quilts and shirts and drawings and every useless little piece of knowledge humanity has ever accrued and data-return pods named after band members as a bad pun.

Because he meets a friend to be brave for.

Grace finds beauty in the Petrova line made up of Astrophage light that’s eating their sun. He finds beauty in the Tau Ceti sun’s swirling surface. He befriends Rocky and chooses to die for the mission before Rocky offers fuel.

And Rocky, too, chooses to befriend a leaky blob alien decidedly lacking in limbs. He places himself in danger to save Grace because they’re friends. He shares fuel and chooses to go home slower, if at all, alone.

Connection and kindness and science is universal and real. End note.

im coming to the conclusion that it's extremely liberating for something you fear terribly, maybe your biggest 'irrational' fear to be realized. someone could spend their whole life afraid of rejection, yet they're still bound to face it one day. things happen whether you want them to or not. someone will leave you. you will lose a job. you will make a mistake in an important matter, because we can't be perfect always. And the day it happens, it'll feel terrible and unforgivable...until it doesn't. the next day's going to come and you'll wake up to realize you're still here. Ten years from now and you'll be waking up, eating your breakfast and getting dressed. through it all you're going to have to give yourself the freedom to let it go

must be hard not being liked by women but it's lowkey always something wrong with the men that say that cause women will date anyone I've seen it I've fought it to no avail
