“To be good, according to the vulgar standard of goodness, is obviously quite easy. It merely requires a certain amount of sordid terror, a certain lack of imaginative thought, and a certain low passion for middle-class respectability.”
— Oscar Wilde, The Critic as Artist

New fic: Pentimento
Happy St Patrick's Day! ☘️ Celebrate with Chapter One of my new Beatles fic, Pentimento, a novel-length story from the POV of Stuart Sutcliffe, who in this universe doesn't die in 1962 and has a front-row seat to the Great Gay Panic/John-Paul Breakdown of 1968 (for his sins).
A story about queer life in Swinging London, with characters you know well and some new ones, weaving in and out of each other's lives and relationships like some kind of enormous macramé shawl.
We open in February 1968. Stuart is a working artist living in London with Astrid, occasionally doing freelance work for his old friends the Beatles. Stuart and Astrid have an open marriage and each embark on passionate queer relationships, which bring them both joy but challenge their stability as a couple. Meanwhile, Stuart is worried about John and his seeming mental breakdown, and has very mixed feelings about John's way of dealing with this. These mixed feelings draw him closer to his old enemy Paul, who he has developed a better relationship with over the years, but who he still has trouble understanding.
Events contrive to draw Stuart deeper into the vortex of chaos caused by John and Paul's prolonged, painful breakup, while he simultaneously struggles to keep a handle on his increasingly complex personal life.
In this universe, John and Paul have been a covert, non-monogamous couple since about 1961, while Stuart and John had a relationship before then, ended by Stuart meeting Astrid. John also had an affair with Brian, whose tragic death looms large over the story.
Please note that, as well as the listed tags, there are additional tags of
very sensitive content
that I have put in a hidden menu in the story opening notes because they spoil significant elements of the plot. These tags can be viewed in the menu and I would recommend viewing them if you have any concerns, but just keep in mind that you will be spoiled!
I will note that this sensitive content is NOT graphic violence, rape, non-con or child abuse - this might be helpful if you know you don't want to read anything on those subjects, and also don't want to be spoiled.
This story will update twice a week, usually on Tuesdays and Saturdays (although it will be Tuesday and Friday this first week).
Comments always welcome! I hope you like it <3

This is finished! What a journey 😅 The longest thing I've written by a long shot; I hope it works as a novel. Thanks so much to everyone for all the kudos, comments, asks, conversations and encouragement over the last few months 💖
I did a re-read and all I could see were typos and continuity errors 😭 but hopefully with more time I'll be able to appreciate it as a story. Now to dash to ao3 and fix the more egregious mistakes! #justwritingthings

John Lennon & Oscar Wilde
"I look at early pictures of meself, and I was torn between being Marlon Brando and being the sensitive poet - the Oscar Wilde part of me with the velvet, feminine side. I was always torn between the two, mainly opting for the macho side, because if you showed the other side, you were dead." John lennon - The Last Rolling Stone Interview: By Jonathan Cott, Rolling Stone Magazine 1980

The fag of the day is Paul McCartney!
I’m sorry but that one’s a dyke. Easy mistake to make.

I uploaded the dear friend home recording II, in which Paul sings "oh darling are you blue" on the mclennon archive:
Dear Friend (Home Recording II) was recorded in 1970/1971 and officially released in 2018 as part of the Wild Life Archive Collection reissu

Baby gay Paul McCartney looked at the “Rodgers and Hammerstein” credit and saw a way for two men to have a marriage. He missed the vital detail that those two had to write together because one did lyrics and the other did music.
Then he spent the rest of his life being asked why he and John were co-credited on everything despite the fact that they were each capable of writing alone.
"Throw the Wine"
Dear Friend/Throw The Wine/I'm In Love with A Friend of Mine
This phrase from "Dear Friend" is intriguing for a number of reasons, but one of them is: what is going on with this wine? Is this an oinomancy, the practice of fortune telling through wine spill patterns, sediments, etc?
Is "I'm in Love with a Friend of Mine" Paul's prophesy, the truth revealed from this reading?
"Melted tin beads cast your fortune /In a glass of wine" he writes in the title track for the film Vanilla Sky (2001).
