FIC: No Mistakes 1/2

The end of Guns N Roses as told as if it was the breakup of a marriage between Axl and Female!Slash (the same version who appeared in my previous Chicago 7 crossover fic November Rain).

For Slash in her 30s, I'm kinda fancasting Jessica Szohr with much much bigger hair? IDK.

While all the incidents I describe re Slash and Steven's early experiences are entirely made up, it's apparently canon that the characters mentioned did become sexually active that young (not afawk with each other, but in general).

I left off where I did, because I'd really be interested in giving Slash a new love interest, but I don't know who I'm going to pick (or if it'll be a real person or an OC). I'm really trying to avoid character bashing here or over exaggerating the situation. Axl's being a jerk like he was genuinely capable of being, but I also feel really really bad for him.

My title is inspired by Patty Smyth's 1992 song “No Mistakes”. But this title might be changed. I'm also not sure how often she should be referred to as Slash (does he call himself Slash in his own head?) This won't be going up on A03 for awhile yet bc I have a lot of other things to do. I can't promise this story will have any actual sex in it, either. I don't know yet.


Warnings for references to domestic abuse, revenge porn and underage sex (including prostitution).


( part one )

So Queens: A Story of Love and Power is going really well. But I did have an idea I'm considering. I'm considering allowing Dianna Shepherd to have the poly lifestyle her male version had in the text.

I guess it all depends on whether this is a Jack/David shipper fic, a story about Jack's life, or what. In a shipper fic, you don't make it complicated like that unless all your characters are canon characters who are often shipped together. These would all be people who were in the book but not on the show.
