(Sequel to "We Only Live Broken") Dave Mustaine is finally free. He's away from his abusive bandmates, safe with his old friends in Metallica. Despite the horrible memories of his time with Megadeth, he's beginning to dig himself out of the hole originally left by being kicked from Metallica. He's rebuilding his life as he recovers. However, for anyone, nothing good ever lasts long. With his former Megadeth bandmates bitter about his departure, and something he's not quite sure of developing between him and James, can he keep it together? Or will he crash back to the ground like before? (origianlly posted on rockfic)

UPDATED!!! This is a gang fanfic but not your ordinary fanfic... The bands we listen to.. For example: Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold, Slipknot, Black Veil Brides, etc. They are the gangs. Also I was inspired by another story on another site so technically I do not own the idea of it. I hope you all enjoy and also there is a playlist for the story on Spotify if you have it (: and if you are a fan of Sons Of Anarchy then stay tuned because they make an appearance :D And one more thing I want to say a huge thank you to @AJexaForLife for the amazing book cover!

Lindsay (James's sister) moves with the band and unexpectedly falls in love with Dave, then everything starts going downhill. Dave's drinking problem gets in the way and they are struggling to maintain their relationship. They kick him out. To make everything worse Lindsay accidentally finds herself in a love triangle with Dave and the new guy Kirk. You could feel the rivalry and the anger in the air.

Ya need some Metallica lyrics? Well here ya go.

Frank is twenty eight: he's mentally stable for the most part, and well nobody has to know about pills he takes twice a day, do they? He's normal now, he's a person now, he's a fucking adult with an office job and he fucking hates it and that's fine, because he got out of the mental hospital three years ago, and these past three years of mundane nothingness have been the best three years of his life. Ten years ago, or so, Frank was in love with a boy called Gerard with fiery red hair and the personality of a switchblade knife, and ten years ago that boy called Gerard had killed himself. Frank still saw him though: hallucinations, as he knew them to be now, and it took him years in a hospital he never thought he'd get out of to convince himself of his newfound sanity, but he was okay now. Twenty eight year old Frank Iero had been officially 'okay' since he was twenty five. He hadn't seen Gerard again, and he didn't even think about the guy - he was just normal, and he was almost painfully content with being the secretary to someone with a five figure salary. But of course, on one fateful morning in December, that has to go and change, doesn't it? (Technically a sequel to Summertime, but I wouldn't say you need to have read Summertime to understand and enjoy this)

Kirk and Lars have been bandmates for over 20 years. They're both married and they both have children. However, Kirk has been in love with Lars since the day they met, and he can't stand to keep it a secret any longer. What will happen when Lars finds out?
