Hi! I'm Starry_Void, but you can call me Starry!
I'm a huge Beatles fan, have been for years now, and I've finally taken the leap to write and post my little mclennon stories on ao3.
You can check them out here if you want
Come and chat with me anytime, I love receiving messages! I'd love to meet mutuals and discuss facts, fics and theories with them so don't be shy!
See you soon guys!
POV: the Beatles during the recording of Maxwell’s Silver Hammer
IM SO HAPPY THAT THE STORY ENDED LIKE THAT🥹🥹
It’s sad to see my favorite fanfic come to an end, but like I’ve said before: I’m so glad I ever even found it. And whenever I would read a new chapter, I felt really really happy- then get really excited for a new one, I knew you usually released a new one on Saturday but I would still check on Friday due to me being eager to see if you’ve posted yet.
I’m also very glad I could be on this little journey with you on writing your fanfic, you’re an amazing writer, starry! I adore your work, and speaking of that: I really like how in the last chapter you added different perspectives of Paul and John’s relationship, i especially loved Martha calling John “Grumpy”🥹🥹🥹
I’m very happy with this fanfic, start to end, it’s actually the best fic I think I’ve ever read!! And I’ve read some good ones
all my loving,
eggie <3
Eggie!!!!
Thank you so much!! It makes me so happy to know that you were looking forward to the chapters this much!
I’m glad you were on this little journey with me too. I’ve said it before, but receiving a notification saying that you had commented always made me happy.
Thank you so much for the praise! I often doubted my own writing after rereading the same story again and again, so I’m really happy you enjoyed it this much!
I wanted something different for a change. I found it interesting not just to say that John and Paul were in love, but to let the reader discover it through the eyes of others and see what they thought of their closeness.
And Martha! I found it fitting to end with her POV before going back to John’s, because animals don’t lie or judge based on what society thinks at the time. They just feel what is true to them, and Martha knows exactly what John and Paul are to each other.
Thanks again, Eggie! There are so many great fics in this fandom, many that I love dearly, and to think that mine could stand alongside them means a lot to me.
All my loving,
Starry ❤️
Chapter 15 (and final one!) of "I'll Send All My Loving" out now!

George looked back at John and Paul, still walking together, seemingly uncaring of what was happening around them. “In any case,” he continued, “it seems that whatever this,” he waved at them, “is, it’s working for them. So, as long as filming doesn’t feel as suffocating as the studio sessions had become, I’m fine.”
Ringo hummed but said nothing, watching as Paul pointed at something in the distance to John, putting a hand on his back as if it would help him see better. “You know,” he said pensively. “It’s weird, it almost seems as if they are… closer than before.”
“Closer?” George repeated, frowning. “They already are closer than anyone I know, it’d be hard for them to be closer still.”
But as he looked at their friends, truly looked at them, he couldn’t help but see. Paul’s hand on John’s back, not just there, but… moving. As if he were rubbing small circles there. And their faces, as Paul explained something and John turned his head to answer… They were so close that, from where he was, George could almost think they were kissing.
“See what I mean?” Ringo asked. “Not just close. Closer still.”
“Now that you mention it, that’s true,” George agreed. “I was just happy not to have Eppy on the verge of a heart attack anymore, asking when John and Paul would finally be fine again but—” He watched as Paul poked John’s side playfully and John positively beamed, looking at Paul as if he were the only thing worth looking at. “I think you’re right,” he said at last.

John and Paul are finally back on good terms and friends again… or are they just friends?

See you soon!
The fact that Paul has most likely seen mclennon stuff on the internet worries and amuses me🥹🫱
So true. As a mclennon writer, I’m constantly torn between “Imagine Paul has read my fanfics ahah” and “Oh my God, imagine if Paul has read my fanfics,” and I don’t know which one I prefer
“If John Lennon could come back for a day, how would you spend it with him?” “In bed.”
I LOVE YOU
Aww, thank you so much!! I didn’t forget the kind ask you sent me a few weeks ago, I hope you’re still enjoying the fic so far!! (though I hope you’ve recovered from your all-nighter!)
Thanks again! And all my loving to you ❤️
Sometimes you have to let make your better half answer the hard questions
since your fanfic has only a chapter left and it’s coming to an end, I just wanna say how much I adore your work!!! I looked forward to a new chapter each week and I’m so glad that I found out about it
I started reading it when you released chapter 5: and I just had to read the whole thing, I love how you portray John and Paul’s relationship and how you add little details about them, and John’s development over time; I feel like it’s really accurate to how he may have acted during the story
I’m sad my favorite fic will be ending soon, but I’m so so soooo happy that you made it🥹🥹🥹
all my loving to you,
eggie <3
My God Eggie, I don’t even know what to say except thank you. Thank you so much for your kind messages on every chapter. Knowing that you looked forward to each new update makes me incredibly happy.
Every time I saw a notification saying you had left a comment, I was so happy. “Eggie is here,” I’d tell myself, already excited to see what you had to say (I genuinely love seeing the same names appear again and again each week, so of course you became part of that little ritual).
Thank you for the praise about their portrayal. I really love the lads, especially John, and it’s always tricky to write them in a way that feels respectful while still showing their flaws. Hearing that he felt accurate is honestly one of the highest compliments I could receive, so thank you.
Sorry if I sound a bit different than usual, your comment genuinely made me emotional in a good way, so I needed a moment to gather my thoughts.
I’m also sad to see it end. After months of working on it, it feels strange to be so close to finishing it. But I’m so glad I did it. A year ago, I didn’t think I’d be able to write something this long, and now here I am, over 70k words in ('I'll Send All My Loving' was supposed to be 10k max at first, it somehow came alive without me noticing).
You say you’re so happy I made this fic, well I’m so happy you were here to read and comment on it. I’m so glad you loved it. I’m so grateful for all the lovely comments and support I’ve received over the weeks. I wish I could do more than words to thank you, but this will have to do for now.
Sending you hugs and virtual cookies 🍪
All my loving to you,
Starry ❤️

When morning rolled around, John had barely slept and his head was as messy as it had been the day before. Still, he managed to convince himself that this whole situation wasn’t as bad as it had first seemed and that it would eventually settle over time. Yes, this fight had been worse than any other and Paul had really seemed hurt this time, but he had always forgiven John in the past, no matter what John said and did. Paul had even forgiven him for things John couldn’t forgive himself for, so surely this time would be no different. And Brian had even said the same thing, so it had to mean it was true.
John was just overreacting to something minor, and he shouldn’t dwell on it any longer. Reaching out to Paul would be useless, he concluded, no need to bring it up again, as it wouldn’t lead to anything good. John would just stop sending the letters since that was what Paul had been mad about, so John was going to respect his wish even if it would hurt. Things would die down over time and soon Paul would come back to him as if nothing had ever happened. They would then return to how things were, never again speaking about this incident.
Good thing I didn’t tell Paul about my feelings, that would have made things even worse.
Sure, Paul had said that he had fallen in love with John, but John had had time to mull it over during the night and realised that it didn’t mean anything. Paul had fallen in love with the girl he thought was writing the letters, not with John himself, so there was no point in discussing this matter with Paul.
No, John would just wait and everything would be okay in the end.

John has to own up to what he did, or he might risk losing Paul. But will his brain let him do it eventually, or will he stay stuck pretending that nothing ever happened?

Yet another French Beatles-related fact!
If you’ve watched “The Music of Lennon & McCartney,” you know the Beatles’ songs were sometimes adapted into other languages. French was one of them, and the one I want to talk about today is “Toi l’ami” by Richard Anthony (the one you can hear in the special).
Now, this song the adaptation of “All My Loving,” and let me tell you… it is wild. This isn’t just a “let’s translate this into French” version. Oh no. The lyrics were completely reworked, and while the melody and sense of longing remain, the story is different.
It’s about a man singing about a friend from his youth who is now gone, and who he will never be able to see again.
This song (who, mind you, was released in 1964) sounds like Paul talking to John after their breakup, and then after John’s death. I’m not joking, I can’t think about anything else whenever I listen to it.
Here’s the song:
Translated lyrics (I tried to keep the meaning rather than doing a literal translation):
You, the friend from our twenties, Tomorrow you will be leaving With a lover on your arm, But don’t forget your friends from before Remember us from time to time
Among us who remain here, We will often talk about you And the joy of the good old days You will, despite everything, still be with us For your name lives on in our childhood memories
Everything disappears As soon as love arrives Life passes by Each one in turn
You are far away now, so far, and everything has changed Our hearts are too heavy to sing It feels like, with you, a part of our lives has gone And it’s true, because our twenties are slipping away
Everything disappears As soon as love arrives Life passes by Each one in turn
Everything disappears As soon as love arrives Life passes by Each one in turn
Yes Paul. No Paul. Who sings it Paul?

“These two are always joined at the hip,” Ringo said calmly as if to appease George. “It’s normal for John to miss—” “I don’t miss Paul,” John cut in, grumbling, as his eyes snapped back to his friends. “I was just wondering where he is, that’s all.” George opened his mouth to answer but stilled, his eyes trailing over John as he squinted. “Is that a new shirt? And—” he asked, sounding perplexed. He sniffed the air then. “And did you put perfume on?”
“Why? I’m not allowed now?” John snapped at George, squirming in his seat. “It’s just—” Ringo started cautiously, his eyes flicking briefly to George’s before returning to John. “We’re not used to it.” John huffed, defensive, and crossed his arms. “I just thought a change for the new year would be good.” George eyed him suspiciously for another minute before speaking. “You’re trying to impress someone.” That wasn’t a question.

We're getting near the end and things are getting more intense than ever! How will John deal with it and how will it affect his relationship with Paul?

Just learned that a French beer brand called “John Lemon” (yes, really) has been around for years, and that Yoko Ono herself has now asked for it to be taken down by sending the pub owner a legal notice (not sure if it's the right word, but it's an official paper).
Not what I expected to learn today, but okay.
Anyway. Here’s the picture.
