I am extremely ashamed to admit I've read slash for the band of all bands, but I can't see a way around it.

I am looking for a Beatles/QAF crossover I once read. It involved Brian, who was somehow involved in the arts idk, going to Germany in the Beatles Hamburg days and hooking up with Paul. Or at least he was on his way to hooking up with Paul, who had nearly hooked up with John prior to the fic, but idk if they actually finished up because in my immense shame at having committed such Beatles!sacrilege I totally did not finish the fic.

...But now I really want to, and cannot find it. D: I think I read it before I got into QAF, so it's possible it isn't hosted at a QAF-centric site but really I have no idea. I don't think Justin was really a centerpiece of the fic, if that helps. It was pretty heavily Brian/Paul (purely for the sex, tho) as I remember it.

So, has anyone read this? Plz send help. Turn Paulie's frown upside down. (see icon)

eta: fic is Beatitudes by the amazing Gaedhal, available there and other places too I think just not at the moment?

The site is down at the moment, likely due to the power outages in New England, but it's http://gaedhal.com/ and the stories you're looking for are "Beatitudes/Hamburg/Gay Paree" all by gaedhal.

Just to clear --

This makes me insatiably happy. Your fic is amazing! I love everything about it. Ridiculously glad I gave it another go.

With the title in hand, I found a copy of the third bit at Oh!Darling the Beatleslash archive, too. Was it ever finished? I'm extremely interested in reading as much as this universe as I can get my hands on. ♥

"Hamburg" is all on the site under "Beatitudes."

I started writing a sequel, "Gay Paree," and posting it
at JohnheartsPaul -- but I had some very not nice e-mails
about it, so I pulled the whole thing rather than fight
with people and just posted it in my own LJ.

It's unfinished. Here are the posted sections of "Gay Paree":

Thank you very much for the links, Hamburg is just amazing and I'm dying to know what happens next. Sorry to hear about the e-mails! D: From what I've read it's quite the lovely story, and it's hard to picture such a delight causing anything but admiration.

It was mainly from J/P shippers -- but what they
didn't wait for was that Paulie was going to return
to Liverpool -- of course! that's his Fate! --
and hook up with John after understanding what he
really wanted, which was to be a Beatle and be with
John. But they didn't wnat to wait for that!

[fopperies.livejournal.com]

I can't imagine what they were complaining about. An ending like that is definitely worth the wait (and how odd of them to be so impatient, a return to John is inevitable what with the whole being a Beatle part of his life), and the scintillating interaction between Paul/Brian/Justin is definitely nothing to sneezeb at! I mean, wow.
