mclennon 70s/80s fix-it fic superiority

I've decided my favorite era for beatles yaoi fics is 1970-1980 but there's this funny phenomenon of like Explaining Why Paul McCartney is Single because most of the fics are during the lost weekend or in a slight au where john and yoko never get back together but the author still needs to explain the paul side of things and they so rarely go with the low hanging fruit of Paul McCartney is a Cheating Bastard and come up with another reason instead

I'm sure he'd prefer to be alive but there’s also no way that john lennon wouldn’t be a at least a little self-satisfied with the idea of his death permanently making him the center of paul’s universe. he doesn't seem like the "you need to let me go" type. he seems more like the "if you don't cry over me at least once a week I'm going to start flickering the lights on and off until you have a seizure" type

i can’t believe mclennon brainrot has me classically conditioned to cry over like half of the beatles catalogue
