[Part Two to Devil's Drop] Finally safe from YRS, Mike and Chester hope to start creating a life both of them want. Relationships are reevaluated and rebuilt as they come to terms with their new freedom, close friendships, and what love really means. Bennoda. AU. (A collaboration between lpfan503 and Penelope_Ink)

When Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington meet through a mutual friend, sparks fly between the nineteen year old piano teacher and twenty year old film producer. As their relationship heats up, a life of deception and manipulation unfolds in which Mike is unprepared to morally cope with his boyfriend's desensitization to the world around them. Bennoda. AU.
