Rachel, a 20-year-old guitarist, steps into the chaos of Guns N' Roses, replacing Izzy after a sudden accident. She's talented, bold, and impossible to ignore, especially for Axl Rose. He claims to hate her, mocks her at every turn... yet refuses to let anyone else near.

As pride gives way to jealousy and something far more dangerous, Axl finds himself losing control. And when the curly-haired guitarist decides to challenge Axl for her attention, the tension backstage threatens to explode.

What happens when desire burns hotter than rivalry and the heart becomes the real battlefield?

Summer 1986. Valerie Anderson is a broke, bored waitress stuck in a Sunset Strip diner and dreaming of escape. By twenty-two, she's fled her mother's faith and vowed never to return. Enter: Axl Rose. He's a god on a stage and a mess of contradictions off it--infuriating, electrifying, and raw in a way she just can't shake. At once, his rootlessness upends her routine. What blooms as infatuation swiftly spirals into obsessive devotion triggering the suspicion of Valerie's best friend, Jill. Her criticism rips open old wounds and tears Valerie between the only love she's ever known and imminent self-destruction; whatever differences exist between the two. Sex, drugs, and resurrected histories scar the rise of Guns N' Roses and tempt the fall of its troubled muse. Her past isn't dead, only angered. But does it wield a sharper knife than the life Axl leads? ⋅───⊱༺ ♰ ༻⊰───⋅ Book one of the Love Letters from a Californian Motel series. AXL ROSE X OC Started: January 22, 2025.

Meant To Be Yours (Staxl)

100 parts Complete Mature

Before the fame, before the chaos, before the legend of Guns N' Roses-there was a spark. In the gritty heart of L.A., Axl Rose is chasing the dream with a voice full of fire and a heart that's been burned one too many times. But everything changes the moment he locks eyes with Steven Adler. Sweet, golden, chaotic Steven-who drums like the world's ending and smiles like it's just beginning. Axl knows in that instant: he's found the one. As the band rises from alleyways to anthems, Axl will stop at nothing to protect Steven-even if it means battling his own demons, the industry, and fate itself. A raw, emotional journey of love, loyalty, and the rhythm that binds them.
