End Of Passion Play - {James Hetfield/Metallica} by AuntJemimaIsAPunk

James Hetfield and Sarah Hendricks, a dysfunctional couple who are too scared to say "I Love You", but confident enough to say "I Need You". **DISCLAIMER: THIS STORY IS THE SECOND PART TO MY ANOTHER ONE OF MY STORIES CALLED "TONIGHT ONLY" (there's also a third one after this one called "Let it be Done). This story would make more sense if you to read that one first, but that book is probably the weakest book of the trilogy, and you don't have to. I think this story is the best book of the trilogy; I'd say it's my best work.**

First Love | James Hetfield by soundslikegarden

San Francisco, CA. 1983. Anneliese and James absolutely despise each other, but they're physically and mentally unable to hurt each other; in which they find out when every attempt to dispose of the other fails miserably. She was in denial. They both were. In denial that the two of them could actually see each other romantically- but they could. They did every single day. Every look they shared was romantic. They were in denial of their feelings, that they could ever feel the opposite of what they felt when they first met. Or more simply; Two naive kids meet, hate, love, and face the bullshit that comes with living. This story includes mature and sensitive themes. (e.g abuse, domestic violence, alcohol/tobacco abuse, sexual themes) read at your own risk! I do not own any part of Metallica nor am I affiliated with any of the members or management! started: 12.23.22 ended: 1.9.24 james hetfield x fem!oc
