Mike Shinoda is making a name for himself. He's not just part of Linkin Park anymore, he's a solo artist. While he's experimenting with the rap scene, Chester Bennington passes the time on his own solo material, calling it Dead by Sunrise. Neither of them realize how much they miss Linkin Park - or each other - until Mike's rap persona starts to get in the way of their relationship and the making of what eventually becomes Minutes to Midnight. Bennoda. [Fort Minor/Linkin Park/Dead by Sunrise era]

Snapshots of Grief by lpfan503

A collection of loosely related chapters built around real-life events after the passing of Chester Bennington, told from Mike Shinoda's POV. Implied low-key Bennoda. *Dates included in chapter notes are important.*

Break Free by BSkyeSoldier

Mike Shinoda is an ordinary boy with extraordinary talent. He's a great musician and has a bright future in the artistic field. He and his friends, Phoenix, Brad, Rob, and Joe, decide to create a band and hope to make it big. They plan to have their first gig at Brad's final senior party of the year but their plans never surface. Mike gets carried away at the party, drinking out his sober mind and decides to show off at karaoke. Later on in the night, he disappears. Chester Bennington is known as the weird boy at school with a destructive path. He suffers through numerous hardships and is failing all of his classes. He couldn't care less. With no luxuries, friends, or barely the reminisces of a family, Chester's life is falling apart. Except, he can't see how bright of a future he truly has. He has strong vocals and a passion for singing but doesn't believe he can actually make it. With no self esteem, he won't try. How will these boys cross paths?

I'll Protect You by T-rex_Taco

With zero friends Chester keeps to himself which has led down a dangerous path. Mike Shinoda is the mysterious, cool guy of the school. No one knows hardly anything about him, all the girls want him but, he doesn't want them. One day Chester catches Mike's eye and he tries to make conversation. Will Chester and Mike become friends? Will it go nowhere or become something more? Is too late to save Chester? Major shout out to DucksFan1015 for telling me to publish my story. Go follow her.

To My Horror by BSkyeSoldier

Sequel to Broken. Chester and Mike have been together for nearly a year after the last story. Chester's still hurt but Mike had been trying to pick up the pieces. When Mike makes a huge mistake that causes him to lose Chester, he doesn't know whether to be happy he doesn't have to deal with his problems anymore or guilty for his actions. Chester, meanwhile, is breaking even further and needs Mike more than ever. He's also running into his past at every turn. [Will be put under construction to improve quality of the story]

Fallout by BSkyeSoldier

Chester Bennington's life is nothing short of chaos. Between running away from a stalker and abusing substances, he has no time to hide all of his issues from his new band mate - Mike Shinoda. [Will be looked over in the future and made much better grammar wise, as this fiction was created a long time ago. Completed.]
