Victim of My Symptom is an emotionally charged fanfiction set in the late 1990s-early 2000s, during the peak of Billie Joe Armstrong's struggles with addiction and fame. Lila Carter, a young and ambitious journalist, finds herself drawn into the chaotic, unpredictable world of the Green Day frontman after a chance meeting at a high-profile event. What starts as a career-defining interview quickly spirals into something deeper as Lila becomes entwined in Billie Joe's life-caught between his charm, vulnerability, and the dark, destructive habits that threaten to consume him. As Lila navigates the blurred lines between professional and personal, she meets Billie's longtime friends and bandmates, Tre Cool and Mike Dirnt, who are trying to manage their own lives while witnessing Billie's decline. Torn between the allure of Billie's intoxicating energy and the growing awareness of the danger he represents, Lila faces a choice: stay by his side and risk losing herself, or walk away before she becomes a victim of the symptom. Victim of the Symptom is a gritty exploration of addiction, fame, and the complexities of love, set against the backdrop of the rock and roll lifestyle. It's a story about the people we try to save and the cost of letting their demons consume us.
