Chapter 1 - First Impressions are Overrated

You join the Gorillaz crew as part of the studio team, navigating the chaos of Kong Studios and the unpredictable Murdoc Niccals.

A messy, tense, and sometimes toxic romance unfolds, full of sharp edges and unexpected moments of tenderness.

In this fanfic, you're the new addition to the Gorillaz crew-part studio help, part chaos magnet. Murdoc Niccals is as sharp-tongued and unpredictable as ever, pushing your buttons at every turn. But beneath his abrasive exterior, there's a complicated charm and a grudging need you can't quite ignore.

Welcome to a love story that's messy, toxic, and fiercely real.
