The Beatles Creations Network

This network has two functions: It is meant to be a directory of the artisans within our fandom, whether they create graphics, gifs, fanart, or fanfiction. The network blog itself will be used to showcase the work of our members. We’d love for it to become a place people can browse for hours, knowing that they will see new, original content.

‘You may be prepared to make a complete break from the past now and set up shop in a totally new environment. The stage is set for a new saga and throughout the remainder of 1980 you will be striving for greater freedom as well as recognition.’ In May 1980 John flew to Cape Town on his own ‘to cleanse his karma’. What if he wasn’t alone?

Oh! Darling

…aka Oh Johnny!

Notes: I finally did it! The nc-17 ff… ahhhhhh! 

Summary:   John, John Lennon wanted to leave the Beatles, he wanted to leave Paul. […]

By now he was losing him, every day John went further away from him and Paul didn’t want to. But how to tell him, how to tell him he needed him, that alone he would die, that John’s words made the ground beneath his feet vanish and now he was rapidly falling into the vortex of despair?

How to tell him if not in a song?

Prompt: John’s “I want a divorce”; Paul crying and writing Oh! Darling; the amazing fiona fu with this amazing drawing.

“John?"  "Paul, are you sure?” John asked hesitantly, “Because, you know, once you try John Lennon, you won’t be able to get rid of him any soon.” “Oh, is it a threat?” He asked, amused, biting his lip. “It’s what you prefer. A threat… or a promise.” “Mm, promise…” Paul murmured on John’s cheek, “I like promises.”

For example, John understood that he had no desire to open his eyes. He murmured absently, as he pushed his conscience away for it was trying in any way to wake him when he wasn’t ready to face a new day yet. Was it so hard for it to understand that John just wanted to stay there, eyes closed, in the bed’s warmth?

In Paul’s warmth.

Paul.

Paul was the other thing John understood

A slight movement of the head on his shoulder and John’s hand intertwined with his, tightening a little more, told Paul that John was waking up. The young lad murmured, his eyes still closed, his cheek pressed against something warm, a fabric that had the same smell that had enveloped him the day before, that familiar smell John was sure it didn’t belong to him, it wasn’t his own smell. Determined to find out what it was, John opened his eyes and remembered everything. “About fucking time!” Paul told him, with a big smile and his eyes sparkling. John, with his eyes still half-open, managed to notice him and he twisted his lips letting out a slight grunt: how on earth could Paul be so bright and jaunty early in the morning?

paul mccartney interview: all my loving, 23 may 1968

“At the time of it’s airing, this 1968 BBC documentary was both highly-acclaimed and controversial. It captured the changing attitudes of the late sixties by mixing graphic news footage of police brutality and the vietnam war with the rock music of times. Heavily interspersed throughout are interviews with many of 1968’s more influencial rock stars. […] Tony Palmer spoke with Paul in an interview that was filmed on May 23rd 1968. The documentary was telecast on BBC television on November 3rd. As the interview segment begins, the film has drawn a comparison between the growing seriousness of rock ‘n’ roll and other styles of music which in the past had been taken more seriously, such as opera and the classics.”

“If you’re so tired of me, why did you agree to come with me on this trip? Oh, it must have been really boring, right, coming up to Paris with this crazy hysterical who’s paying for everything, is that so, Paul?” John almost spat out those words, unable to hold them any longer and knowing he didn’t really think any of that shit, “Ah, wait, that’s the reason, isn’t it? A fucking free trip was more important than being forced to bear me, mh?” Paul opened his eyes wide, when such ignoble words came out of his friend’s mouth, “You’re an asshole, John… You’re… God, this is the stupidest thing you’ve said since we’ve known each other. I hate you when you do that… You make me regret coming back.”

So now John would have to find a way to make him understand that he knew he had been a total asshole the night before, that he didn’t want to react like that and that, on his birthday, he wouldn’t ignore him because Paul promised him to dedicate all his attention to it. Therefore, still wrapped in the warmth of Paul’s jacket and his smell, two things that encouraged him to continue his intent, John rose from his chair and looked towards the bed. But there, where Paul’s body should have been, huddled under the covers, there was nothing. Where the fuck was Paul?

“Here.” he said a few minutes later, putting the glass in front of his friend. Paul blinked and looked surprised the paleyellow liquid inside the glass and then John: “What is it?” “A milkshake?” John tucked a straw in, so that Paul could drink it. “Did you buy me a milkshake?” He asked, staring at the glass in front of him. “So it seems. And to be precise, it’s a banana milkshake. There was only this flavor left, sorry.” John justified, shrugging. “Why?”

Hey, Bulldog moodboard, requested by anonymous

“I remember (it) as being one of John’s songs and I helped him finish it off in the studio, but it’s mainly his vibe. […]  We always tried to make every song different because we figured, ‘Why write something like the last one? We’ve done that.’ We were on a ladder so there was never any sense of stepping down a rung, or even staying on the same rung, it was better to move one rung ahead”.

Paul replied with the one thing John was more afraid to hear coming out of his mouth. “I found a job.” “You found a what?” John asked, giggling not for fun, but rather for nervousness. His voice was also increased by three tones, which usually didn’t promise anything good. “A job, John, a-job.” Paul spelled the words in order for John to understand what he was saying to him.

“I was thinking about an idea.” John began to say, putting his hands behind his head. “What is it?” “Would you like to stay in Paris all week?” “In Paris?” Paul repeated, opening wide his eyes for surprise, “But didn’t you want to go to Spain?”
