The year is 1983 and Clarice Lawless is an aspiring rockstar living in New York City with nothing but with a music degree and a dream. Having come from a musical family, she has built up a small following in the local music scene, but is struggling to really go anywhere or be taken seriously as a female singer and guitarist. But everything changes when she goes to California with her brother, where she meets a certain frontman. Dave Mustaine x Original Character Content Warning: Contains sex, drugs, and rock and roll "Summer is, after all, the season of escape: the landscape in which to contemplate, alone, our failures and our possibilities; the safety valve, the frontier that none of us wants-or can afford-to see closed." - Joan Didion #1 in megadeth - 12/20/25 #1 in thrashmetal - 1/2/26 #1 in metallica - 1/30/26 #1 in bandmembers - 2/2/26 #1 in rockmusic - 2/2/26 #1 in davidellefson - 2/18/26 #1 in cliffburton - 2/22/26 #1 in jameshetfield - 2/23/26 #1 in davemustaine - 4/3/26 #1 in larsulrich - 8/11/26 #1 in chrispoland - 8/15/26 #1 in garsamuelson - 8/15/26

The Story of Dave Grohl and the only girl he's ever loved. Cuts between Nirvana and early 2000s Foo Fighters.

Sabian "Sable" Reeve never fit inside the lines drawn for her. While other kids played it safe, she found her salvation in distortion pedals and screaming vocals, in the thunder of KISS and the darkness of Sabbath. By twenty‑one, she'd already learned that the world doesn't hand freedom to girls like her - you have to take it, even if it means leaving everything behind. A single choice at eighteen lit a fuse she's been running from ever since. Now, a plane ticket and a job offer drop her into a new world: a band on the rise, a group of strangers with sharp edges, and a guitarist whose presence feels like both a warning and a promise. Sabian didn't come here looking for trouble. But trouble has a way of recognizing its own. And the force chasing her isn't finished - not by a long shot. The question isn't whether she can escape her past. It's whether she can survive what she's walking into.

You've lived in the quiet Midwest your whole life until your photography career beckoned you to the city. You traveled just over a thousand miles over to Brooklyn, New York with the idea that your career and everything else following would be a dream come true. Though, moving to a completely new area was bound to be difficult. Until a friendly face enters your life, Peter Steele, who slowly begins to pick up the rubble of your struggle. He stands well above you, only wishing that your stay in Brooklyn is enjoyable. He's cute, you think but there is only so much a picture can truly grasp in one take.

In which Dave Mustaine, freshly kicked out from Metallica, crashes on Y/N's couch, determined to claw his way back to the top-only to find himself tangled in the underground scene, where late-night confessions and a few too many secrets threaten to blur the line between ambition and desire. "What's on the floor of a backstage? They're sticky with spilled beer, littered with broken picks, crumpled setlists, and the ghosts of songs that never made it past rehearsal. They're where deals are made, bands fall apart, and groupies leave lipstick marks on the lips of rockstars who won't remember their names. And somewhere between those things, the lies we tell ourselves and the past that refuses to stay buried." Backstage Floor | Dave Mustaine x Female reader by Trashdxll

A collection of one-shots, imagines, and whatever comes to mind when writing about Jason Newsted. Written both about Metallica and AU. I don't include y/n because I can't take it seriously lol.

They're two different people from two different worlds. Camille is all about her studies and Star Trek while Darrell is wondering when's the next KISS album is coming out. After Darrell and Phil rough up a couple of guys for picking at her, their worlds collide and unexpected bonds are made. Hearts become entangled and the strangest friendships develop. Book I of Cam and Darrell {Somewhat inspired by the "This Love" music vid}

Lenora Woods, a care-free 19 year old girl working a simple job at her local comic book store in the fall of '83. feeling lost, with no sense of direction in life and no goals for her future, she has but one dream. To perform. Having played bass since the age of 11 and having taken singing lessons since before she could even read. Lenora found herself caught in a whirlwind of unprecedented events. From a part-time worker on the brink of being laid off from her poorly paying job, to touring the states with a local band from the thrash metal scene, and being completely infatuated with their lead guitarist.
