šŸ–‹ļø Linkin Park Fanfics

Where my chaos brain and glittery sadness meet the music that saved me.

āš ļø Disclaimer: Some of these fics contain Bennoda (yes, that’s Chester/Mike). If that offends you… maybe take a deep breath, touch some grass, and remember this is a *fanfiction shrine* in a glittery goth corner of the internet. Don’t like it? Don’t read it. That easy. šŸ’…

ā€œBleed It Outā€

ā€œLouder When It Breaksā€

šŸ’” Bennoda (eventual), Jonathan/Chester (toxic)

ā€œThis Wasn't Justice, It Was Cleansingā€

šŸ† Chester/Mina (OC)

šŸ–¤ Mina-centric, Mike/Natalia (subtext)
Emily Armstrong thought she was untouchable. But Mina has had enough. After tracking her across tour stops, Mina finally acts — kidnapping Emily after a show and leaving behind chaos in her wake. As Linkin Park and Mina’s best friend Natalia scramble to find the missing woman, Mike starts to question everything — about Emily, about Mina, and about himself. By the time they find Emily… it’s too late. Mina is already back in Russia, and she has no intention of returning.
