Fics like Paper Walls

Set in 1966, this story explores the emotional unraveling of John Lennon as Paul McCartney embraces a bold, vibrant new world in London’s avant-garde scene. At the height of his charisma and curiosity, Paul is surrounded by artists, intellectuals, and cultural provocateurs like Robert Fraser, Peter Asher, and John Dunbar. He’s experimenting with sound, art, and identity, building something beyond The Beatles. John, meanwhile, is stuck in suburban Weybridge, watching from the outside. Isolated and increasingly jealous, he feels abandoned by Paul, his oldest creative partner and closest emotional bond. When John tries to follow Paul into this new circle, he finds himself overwhelmed, alienated, and out of step with the people and ideas Paul now seems to prefer. The deeper Paul falls into the underground, the more dangerous things become for Paul. The new friends he is inspired by and trusts, turn on him and he finds himself in a dangerous situation that could cost him his life.
