I understand that there's hardly any Eric griffin things so here is an x reader. This is dedicated for my best friend @skzarejustbetter.
Main Characters: Eric Griffin (Murderdolls Bassist), The Reader (Merch Manager), Wednesday 13, and Joey Jordison.The Plot BreakdownChapter 1: The Soundcheck ShiftSet during the chaotic 2002 Beyond the Valley of the Murderdolls tour. The Reader has been the band's merch manager for six months, developing a close, late-night friendship with the offstage, sarcastic Eric Griffin. During an empty soundcheck in Chicago, the playful banter shifts into intense romantic tension when Eric pulls the Reader close and tucks a stray lock of hair behind their ear.Chapter 2: The View from the WingsDuring the live show, Eric plays directly to the shadows of the stage wings where the Reader stands. The moment the encore ends, he bypasses the post-show chaos, grips the Reader's wrist, and pulls them into the quiet sanctuary of the dark tour bus.Chapter 3: Crossing the LineTrapped in the narrow bus aisle, six months of buried tension finally boil over. Eric confesses he is "tired of playing the best friend" and leans in for a deep, passionate kiss just before the rest of the band returns.Chapter 4 & 5: Neon, Asphalt, and Late-Night StopsThe band notices the smudged makeup on Eric's face, but he refuses to hide his feelings. Later that night at a misty, 4:00 AM Indiana truck stop, Eric pulls the Reader into a hidden postcard aisle for a quiet, sweet confirmation that their connection is real.Chapter 6 & 7: The Detroit Arrival & ShowThe tour pulls into a historic, grand Detroit theater. Wednesday teasingly accepts the new relationship, and Eric promises the Reader he won't hide them when the cameras start flashing. He commands the stage that night, playing with a sharp, devoted energy meant entirely for the wings.Chapter 8 & 9: The Afterglow & Washing Away the StageBackstage, the Reader sits on Eric's lap in the dressing room as the stage adrenaline.
