Summary
John Lennon, tired dad, walking disaster, expert at all things inappropriate, is just about desperate enough to take the first job that’ll have him. He doesn’t expect it to land him inside the polished office of Apple Corps, wrangling calendars and crises. And he definitely doesn’t expect his new boss to be bloody millionaire Paul McCartney, charming, infuriating, and far too good at making John forget he’s supposed to be working.
Somehow he ends up as a personal assistant, a job he’s wildly unqualified for, except maybe in sarcasm and showing up late. Between flat whites, childcare, and more longing than he'd ever like to admit, John discovers that working for Paul might be the biggest mess of his life… and somehow, the best thing that’s ever happened to him.
Edit: On hiatus. This work is NOT abandoned.

Summary
Something ticked in Paul’s mind as the familiar words washed through him. When he looked at John, his friend was already looking at him. And suddenly, it all became clear: He remembered having that conversation more than 50 years ago. He remembered it too well.
He had been thinking about it for years, wondering what he should have understood, how he should have reacted. If it was as meaningful as it had felt or if his memory had just romanticized it.
“I don’t think a love like that obeys to any rules,” John went on, unaware of Paul’s agitation. “It’s not something that humans have created, not like a societal thing. It’s deeper than that, and that’s what some people are afraid of I guess, because they can’t control it. Whatever laws they create, they can never control it. A white lad will fall in love with a black girl.” He paused. “A lad with another lad. You know.”

Summer 2019, 77-year-old Paul wakes up feeling surprisingly good. One tiny problem: he is back in December 1965.

Summary
At the cusp of defeat, Shadow Milk gets transported to a backwards world: Dark Enchantress was sealed away before she could do any lasting damage, the Beasts never came to be, and the Ancients rule over an otherwise peaceful world.
Oh, and apparently his counterpart is dead and hailed as a hero. Because his life wasn’t already complicated enough.
OR
What happens when the guy who basically saved all of cookiekind comes back as an evil, corrupted version of himself?
Healing. Healing is what happens…hopefully.
