When the music's loud enough, no one hears you fall apart. After years behind the scenes, Erin finally steps into the spotlight - not for fame, but because she fell for the frontman. As the new head of lighting and visuals on a world tour with one of the biggest alt-rock bands on the planet, she's used to chaos. Cables, cues, caffeine - she can handle it. What she's not used to is being seen. Tyler is intense, brilliant, and hers - and the world knows it. Now that their relationship is public, everyone has an opinion. The pressure is brutal. Fans, press, perfectionism. A resurfaced fling. And Tyler's mental health is a balancing act no stage can hold steady forever. Backstage becomes a battlefield of boundaries and burnout, jealousy and joy, smudged eyeliner and shared hotel beds. As the noise grows louder, Erin and Tyler must decide what parts of themselves are worth amplifying - and which parts they can't afford to silence. --- A slow-burn, emotionally raw romance set behind the stage curtain. ✨ Tour chaos ✨ Found family ✨ Obsession, burnout & black paint ✨ First-person dual POV (Erin & Tyler) ✨ Mature themes, smut, and mental health. Read with care. ✨ Inspired by a fictional version of Twenty One Pilots - not the real band or individuals. All details are fictionalized for story purposes.

The tour was supposed to be noise-screaming crowds, humming lights, chaos that left no room for feeling. She knew how to handle that. She'd built her life on moving fast, staying useful, never getting too close. But he was different. The frontman with heavy eyes and stained hands. The one who disappeared behind stage doors only to sing like he was bleeding. He didn't talk much. Didn't need to. His presence was gravity. And without meaning to, she fell into orbit. Behind curtains and closed doors, under low lights and high tension, something raw begins to bloom. A connection. A craving. A slow, inevitable unraveling. But the road doesn't stop moving. And neither does the weight he carries. A slow-burn, soul-aching, backstage romance about finding stillness in someone else's storm. For fans of quiet obsession, late-night vulnerability, and love that feels like a secret whispered in the dark. CW: This story explores mental health, anxiety, depression, and emotional trauma. It includes explicit content (smut), emotionally intense themes, and is intended for mature readers. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction.
