6.000 hits for "The French Kiss!" Thank you!

It's been a couple of years, but The French Kiss -- a one shot about JohnandPaul in Paris -- was the first McLennon fic I ever wrote, and it may still be the most purely romantic of the stories. Maybe. Part of me thinks that Chapters 48 and 49 from "Hello, Goodbye" (The extremely angsty Book II from the "Carry that Weight" Angst Trilogy, as opposed to the more meandering, lots-of-sex-lesser-angst Book III). So much old baggage between John and Paul gets resolved in those two final chapters of book II, after SO MUCH difficulty between them, that the romance angle is upped quite a lot. But if they are not the most romantic scenes I've written of the two of them, then "French Kiss" might still have that claim. I actually will depend on readers to let me know. (Although a few have told me the think this one is sadder, yet more romantic, so I can't tell!)

But it thrills me to see the first thing I ever wrote getting traffic, and so I thank you that the story keeps getting hits! I'm very appreciative! UPDATE: Actually, someone reminded me that this one-shot is pretty romantic, too.

It was New York, around 1974, and I think it was around the first time they had gotten back together again. I got a knock at the door at the Pierre Hotel where I had taken over a suite for months and months…. About three in the morning there’s a knock on the door and John was there, and he had Paul with him! The two of them had been out on the town for the evening. He said “Can we come in? You won't believe who I've got here,” and I said, “Wow I thought you two had…” and he said, “No no, all that's going to change.” It was great! We just spent the evening talking. It was kinda a strange thing between them, there was a little bit of distance every now and again. But that must've been the first time they were back together since the big bust-ups. They actually asked me if I'd join the two of them and become a trio with them, and we'd change the name to something like David Bowie and The Beatles because they liked the idea of it being DBB. But, you know, the next morning it just never came to anything.

John and Paul, Poignant and Complete

This image has always struck me as so poignantly revealing of their whole relationship. John is fuzzy and undone, Paul is watchful and at the ready. John looks like someone who is emotionally all over the place -- nearly impossible to make out, so to speak. And Paul is so contained and hyper-aware of him, as though he is ready for anything, accepting of anything, that I wouldn't mess with him. And the hand, as though calling John back, back to him, pulling him back and away from whatever mood, emotion or feeling is leading John off into God knows what. Just -- for me -- a very poignant and complete portrait of these two, in spirit.

Story newly updated!

The Beatles find themselves transformed back in time in separate time periods, living lives as different people, while able to remember their old life in the 1960s.

This is kinda a prequel, but if you haven't read "the Lost is Found," you really won't get this take.

A young teenage John Lennon wants to find out if an old bridge in the outskirts of the city of Liverpool, is really haunted.

An old rumor about a tragic woman, and her ill-fated children, led the stories of her and her children being the spirits of this place. So John figures midnight on Halloween would confirm if the legends were true

I think Paul really spoke for all of us 😭

“Dear god, please do not take my photograph with this idiot! I’ll never live it down!” wails Macca’s companion. “I’m only trying to hold the wanker up, he’s pissed as a newt.”
