(On hold for a while 😞) ship name ShadyBurst THE TIMELINE OF EMINEM IS ALL FUCKED UP IK (💋= smut // 🌸 = aftercare) What started in a run-down Detroit trailer and a dusty notebook grew into something the world was never ready for. Marshall "Eminem" "Slim Shady" Mathers III, rap's loudest rebel- built his empire out of anger, grit, and words sharp enough to cut steel. But behind the stage lights and tabloid headlines, he found something even more explosive: love. Derek "StarrBurst" Cortéz- a stray who clawed his way into the rap scene with nothing but raw talent and a voice the world couldn't ignore-was the one person Marshall never expected to keep. Together, they became more than rappers; they became a secret burning too bright to stay hidden. From whispered nights in a broken trailer, to chaotic tours, to battling paparazzi, industry backlash, and the weight of fame, Marshall and Derek fight for a love as messy and raw as their lyrics. Their bond is tested by jealousy, homophobia, and the brutal spotlight of celebrity life-but also strengthened by laughter, tenderness, and the comfort of finding home in each other. Through hotel-room writing sessions, public scandals, jealous breakdowns, fatherhood with Hailie, and nights where "Slim Shady" gives way to the soft, vulnerable man beneath, this is the story of two boys who fell in love when no one was watching-only to find themselves center stage, holding onto each other harder than ever. At its core, this isn't just a love story. It's a chronicle of survival, identity, and the terrifying, beautiful truth of letting the world see you-really see you. Because in the end, it's not Slim Shady, not Eminem, not StarrBurst who matter. It's just Marshall and Derek. Two voices. One love. Loud enough for the whole world to hear.
