    Summary

    During the Lost Weekend, John decides to start rumours that he's queer. Paul reacts.

    Written for the kinkmeme prompt:

    "I was trying to put it 'round that I was gay, you know–I thought that would throw them off–dancing at all the gay clubs in Los Angeles, flirting with the boys...but it never got off the ground."

    John Lennon interview with Lisa Robinson for Hit Parader, 1975.

    I want a fic showing what this would look like. Doesn't matter if he's just pretending or if it's real, or maybe he doesn't even know himself. Enough people think it's real for it to "get off the ground." How do his friends react? How does Paul react? Doesn't have to be endgame John/Paul, but I'd like that. Mostly I want to see John dancing and flirting in gay clubs. (Maybe Elton's showing him around at first?)

    Woodstock, 1967.

    "Hey, boys. Hey, Duke. What's going on, baby?" Levon said.
    "I'll tell you what's going on," I told him. "You need to get your skinny butt up here to the Catskills as quick as the wind will carry you."
