Megan Carter grew up on the road.
She lost her first tooth while flying over Montana. She celebrated her thirteenth birthday camped in a rickety, rainbow-colored motel in Joshua Tree, California; when the power went out, she and her dad played cards in the light of her birthday candles. She attended high school in six different states and never got a diploma. She learned how to drive in Austin, Texas; she also rode a bull there and subsequently broke her arm in two places. She lost her virginity to a boy in Washington who wore hand-patched jackets and crooned old Al Green songs to her afterwards. She'd watched her dad as he tuned guitars for ska musicians and heavy metal prima donnas; when she was old enough, she was allowed to do it for him.
So drawing up a contract to join Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's Up in Smoke Tour didn't feel like too big of a leap outside of Megan's comfort zone.
It's a shadier place than expected.

3am (Eminem / Slim Shady Fanfic)
⚠️TRIGGER WARNING⚠️: smut, violence and very questionable consent or lack of consent altogether... Also, this book literally makes no goddamn sense whatsoever so read at your own risk. Anyways... What would you do if you found out that your boyfriend of many years was actually a vicious serial killer?! Robyn is about to find that out when she learns that Marshall, her loving boyfriend, is actually the one they call The Slim Shady Killer... But who or WHAT is Slim Shady exactly though? Is it another side of Marshall's personality that for some strange reason only manifests itself after 3am in the morning, merely a figure of his imagination or a straight up demon from the very debts of hell? Also, what if this Slim Shady was weirdly fascinated with you, and he and Marshall began playing a sick tug of war over you?! The 1st chapter of this is also in my Eminem 1shots book, and I've been trying to write this story for the longest tbh, but I keep unpublishing it lolComplete
Savage Love || An Eminem Fanfiction
Blair Daniels survives betrayal by turning her heart into a locked room, sharp tongue, higher walls, and a refusal to need anyone, until her sister and ex boyfriend announce their engagement and Blair's life collapses in public. Marshall Mathers has spent a lifetime mastering distance, fame, and control, perfecting the art of never letting anyone close enough to ruin him, until Blair storms into his orbit and refuses to be impressed by the mask. What begins as friction becomes something messier, deeper, and dangerously real, a relationship built in private moments, ugly truths, and the terrifying decision to stop running. Because when you have both been broken before, wanting a future is the most reckless thing you can do. I do not own any of the music or the pictures in this story, it is fictional but may have similar life events, but these are no where near factual.
Choke On My Name || An Eminem Fanfiction
Veronica "Vee" Mercer had a plan-a career in the music industry, a fiancé, a future that made sense. Then she walked in on him cheating, and just like that, everything was gone. With no job, no reputation, and no reason to stay sober, she moves to Detroit to crash with her best friend, thinking she'll figure shit out. Instead, she starts drinking too much, partying too hard, and slipping into a world she never thought she'd belong to. She wasn't trying to be a groupie. She swore she'd never be that girl. But after enough bad nights and worse decisions, somehow, that's exactly what she becomes. That's how she meets Marshall. Arrogant. Cold. Completely full of himself. He doesn't do attachments. He doesn't give a fuck. Women are distractions, leeches, nothing but trouble. And Vee? She plays the role-shows up, stays in his bed, but never acts like she needs him. Where other women fall at his feet, she doesn't give a shit. Where others wait on his calls, she ignores them. And suddenly? Marshall's the one losing it. When she's with someone else? He snaps. When she dodges his calls? He spirals. He swears he'd be so much better off without her. So why the fuck can't he let her go? A toxic, addictive push-and-pull love story built on obsession, arrogance, and the one girl who refuses to play by his rules.
Asocial Existence | Eminem
#1 on Eminem hashtag as of May 9th, 2023 Sometimes not existing is a useful tool, it keeps you out of trouble, keeps you secretive and stops you from developing useless emotions.
