Scar Tissue

She’d been doing it since she was thirteen - probably way too young to go out to strangers’ parties or gigs, with the naive hope of bumping into some big-time producer who would launch her to stardom. By fourteen, she knew all the bars around Hollywood - the ones that would serve her without a second glance, the ones with bouncers that would let her in. She knew most of the producers and managers that were around. She knew all the up-and-coming bands, the ones which people thought had a chance of making it, the ones which people thought certainly didn’t. At fifteen, she had tried almost every drug under the sun - meth and heroin being the only two that she considered off-limits. At sixteen, she still had the same dream when walking into a bar that she would meet a producer willing to give her a real chance, but she had it in a much more sophisticated, and much less naive way than when she was thirteen - with eyeliner.Marauders au where they form a band set in 90s LA. Follows them pre-fame and then post-fame.

I’ve set out my fic into ‘phases’ (like Marvel lol) where each phase is like 7-9 chapters long. So don’t be worried if it’s like chapter 8 and Dorcas still hasn’t been introduced, you will get to see her later!!This fic is set in 90s LA and, while I’m not going to describe in anything in detail, I’m not going to sugarcoat it either. I just want to write a few trigger warnings/things to look out for. Most of these are only mentioned in passing, but they are mentioned, so if it’s upsetting please take care of yourself!- mention of drugs (there is a lot of this)- characters being irresponsible with drugs- there will be a drug-related death later in the fic, but I will warn everyone in the notes beforehand- alcohol, and alcohol misuse- people being generally pervy and gross with underage characters (nothing graphic, but it is mentioned a few times because unfortunately that was very prevalent in that scene, and often still is)Also it’s just important to bare in mind that the characters are all around 16/17 when the fic begins, and they’re often in situations they really shouldn’t be at that age, and is quite dangerous. So don’t copy anything that you see at home pls thanksThat’s it for the general warnings, but ofc i’ll put more in-depth warnings at the beginning of every chapter.Hope you guys enjoy x
