Plastic Jesus

Description
The 1960's brought Seth and Payton all they'd fantasized about—perfect friendships, a successful four-man band, and most importantly, each other. Together they embarked on a tour that brought them stimulating highs and shattering lows, and they prospered and suffered in one another's arms. The two men carried each other and carried a group that created both a history and a future for rock. But at some point their music blurred with the news of their love and the world was faced with the show more choice to embrace its heroes or revert back to its deep-rooted prejudices.Â. show less

I just didn't get it. What if the not-Beatles were gay and part of key lgbt history?. Not-Lennon's murder (it's the opener so not really a spoiler) is recontextualized as a hate crime. Arguably in bad taste but the names have been changed around to minimize the rewriting of a real crime (which itself is kind of undone by stating the rewrite explicitly in the afterword?). Maybe there's some deeper commentary here if you're a fan of the Beatles.
As a love story it's more in the teen category, not explicit.

Badly written novella about how a Paul McCartney and John Lennon are twu lubs and save the world through their sparkly gayness. Basically just published Beatles fanfic.
RPF at its morally worst?Â
