Fic: kissing the blarney

by tikk

Link to fic

Summary:

In which the band make a joke about kissing the blarney stone for luck. And Paul is the blarney stone.

Then the joke becomes a game, which turns into something more important, a ritual, a lifeline, a superstition. And it's not like they believe in it, but it's not like they don't. It becomes an emotional connection, threading them together. Something to hold on to within the fame and the noise. Something warm and loving. But delicate...

Why I like this fic: It's genuinely so enjoyable, and makes you feel so many things! I really enjoy is personally because I can relate to the creation of a bit that changes the way a group of people share affection.

It's silly, it's fun, and I always love when there is a "mclennon" fic that doesn't function as one, or that includes George and Ringo in a way that acknowledges how they fit into that dynamic differently!
