    Summary

    “See ya at the Derby, lads,” Paul says as he puts on his tweed coat, which fits him annoyingly well (and also hides his arse annoyingly well). “Can’t wait for Goodison Park to welcome you back.”
    “Me neither,” John purrs, and chuckles at George’s rude hand gesture as the two Evertonians take their leave.
    Ringo’s not chuckling. He’s busy wiping his pants with napkins, glaring at John all the while. “The fuck was that all about?” he demands.
    That means it’s game on, John thinks, picturing Paul McCartney’s face in his mind and imagining how pretty it’s gonna look in defeat.

    He can’t wait for the Merseyside Derby.

    In the season of 1959-60, John Lennon and Paul McCartney are both made captains of rival football clubs, Liverpool and Everton, making them natural enemies.
    But it's difficult to remember that, as with every encounter they grow more and more fascinated with each other.

    Summary

    In the quirky small town of Everwood, John Lennon, once the untouchable king of the high school scene, is now stuck scooping ice cream in a humiliating sailor uniform at Sailor’s Scoop. When Ringo’s old best mate Paul McCartney arrives for a fresh start, John immediately puts his foot in his mouth: first by mocking an old “ugly” photo of him, then by shamelessly flirting with the stunning new version without realizing they’re the same person.
    Paul, who has spent years transforming himself after a bullied, invisible past, is not impressed. What starts as sharp hatred and icy workplace tension slowly blooms into something far more complicated: banter, reluctant respect, misunderstandings, and a slow-burn connection neither of them saw coming.
    Disclaimer: This story takes the ice cream shop setting and sailor uniform concept from Stranger Things, created by the Duffer Brothers. All credit to them for the original idea and aesthetic. No copyright infringement intended, this is a transformative fan work for entertainment only. The town of Everwood and light supernatural elements are original to this AU.

    Summary

    John Winston Gaunt is stuck.
    In the Muggle world, every one of his tutors is scared off by his nonsensical behaviour and crass attitude to magic theory.
    In the Muggle world, his beloved aunt is reluctant to let him play music, preferring he spend his time with more academic interests instead.
    So when he receives a letter inviting him to join Hogwarts in sixth year, he’s more than happy to finally attend.
    And when John meets several like-minded boys – most notably his friends Paul, George and Richard – he realises that maybe, a band wouldn’t be such a terrible idea after all…
