hello lovely!!! blake keeps recommending ur blog and i have to say,,, i really love your writing!!! I just wanted to ask if you would write a fluffy joe fic?? bc i love my little dino boy. 🥰🥰🥰
hi there @evadingmytaxes!! thanks so much! (and isn’t blake just the sweetest? 🥰)
sorry this has taken me a while to get to. in the end, i decided to post an extract from a best friends-to-lovers joe x reader fic that will most likely never see the light of day bc i can’t seem to finish writing it. the summary of the fic (for context) is as follows:
you and joe have been best friends since your first night at college. but now you’re both nearing thirty, you both have partners, and all of your friends seem to be terrifyingly interested in settling down and being proper adults, much to your quiet horror. then, one night, joe calls you in a fit to tell you that he’s just discovered his girlfriend of two years has been cheating on him. the wake of their destroyed relationship has left two tickets to a fortnight-long cruise. so, unable to get the deposit back, joe asks you along instead.
and, for further context, the scene itself is set a few days into the cruise. reader and joe have had to share a bed (a couple’s room had been booked), but they’re having a fun time hanging out together. they’ve just come back to their room after a fun night of dancing and getting drunk. it’s about 1.2k words.
     You wonder if the ship has sunk – the world around you seems to be swimming so badly, maybe you’re just underwater.
    “Hey,” Joe says from beside you.
    “Mm?” you mumble.
    “What would happen if a zombie apocalypse broke out right now?”
    You roll your head over to him. “A what now?”
    “Zombie apocalypse.” Joe looks to you. Were his eyes always that pretty? “If someone on this ship was infected, and starting biting people, what do you think would happen?”
    You frown, trying to think through the fog in your head. “I dunno,” you say. “There’s too many variables. Like – what kind of zombies? Walking Dead zombies, or World War Z zombies?”
    “Walking Dead.”
    “Would people know a zombie if they saw it?”
    “No, not at first.”
    “Well, we’d probably have a bit of time.” You scratch your nose. “Walking Dead zombies can take a couple hours to turn, and they’re slow. Just push ’em overboard.”
    “But there’s so many people on this ship,” Joe says. “You’d get overwhelmed.”
    “Not everyone would be infected at once,” you argue. “As soon as the problem is discovered, push all the zombies overboard. Including people who’ve been bitten but haven’t turned yet.”
    “What, while they’re still alive?” Joe says, his voice pitching up in surprise.
    “Kill ’em first. Then bye-bye.”
    Joe pouts and squints as he thinks. You almost reach out to smooth his brow with your fingers, but you stop yourself. “It’s doubtful that everyone who’s been bitten would step forward.”
    “Then we’ll just keep up the process until all problems are eradicated.” You yawn. “Easy as pie.”
    Joe snorts. “You seem to have thought this through.”
    “It just makes sense, my dude. Besides, you asked.”
    Joe turns onto his side to face you more fully. “What if I was bit? Would you be so blasé about it?”
    You look up to the ceiling. “I…” You scowl at him. “That’s a dumb question.”
    “Would you push me overboard while I was still alive?”
    “You’re fishing.”
    Joe gapes, defensive. “I’m not fishing!”
    “You are,” you say. “You want me to say that I’d break down and cry, and that I’d risk it all to try to somehow cure you.”
    “I’m not,” Joe insists.
    “Good,” you say. “Because I wouldn’t do any of that.”
    Joe’s face sinks a little. “Yeah. I mean, makes sense. Overboard I go.”
    “No,” I say. “I mean, yeah, but I’d go overboard with you. If you got bit, I’d get myself bit, then we’d hold hands and yeet ourselves into the ocean and get eaten by sharks.” You gasp, your eyes going wide. “Zombie sharks.”
    Joe laughs.
    You open and close your mouth a few times. “Oh, man, what if we caused the end of the ocean as we know it? Zombie sealife.”
    “I wouldn’t want you to,” Joe says suddenly. “Get bit if I got bit.”
    “Well, yeah, if I got bit, I wouldn’t want you to get bit, either,” you say simply, looking to him. “But if you did get bit, I’d get myself bit before you could stop me. Because what would be the point of battling through the zombie apocalypse without you there with me?”
    Joe’s face softens into something that makes your heart squeeze tight, and you clear your throat, looking back to the ceiling. It’s too much. He shouldn’t be looking at you like that. You shouldn’t want him to.
    “But we’d survive, anyway,” you add hastily. “We got street smarts. We know what’s up. We’d know a zombie if we saw one.”
    “It’d just be the two of us, commandeering a cruise ship full of hundreds of zombies,” Joe says. “We’d have to find a boat to rescue us, and then set fire to this cruise ship.”
    “Oh, yeah, that’d be awesome,” you say fervently, nodding. “Burning zombie cruise ship.”
    “Then we’d make it back to land, only to find that it’s all been destroyed. We thought the virus was contained on this ship, but we were wrong.”
    “Oh, fuck,” you say with a laugh. “Dude, we gotta write this. This is like some Planet of the Apes-type shit. We’re onto something here.”
    “We’re sitting on a fuckin’ goldmine,” Joe agrees.
    “We’d make it back to land, and we’d find a ragtime team of survivors,” you continue.
    “But we wouldn’t know who we can trust,” Joe says. “Everyone suspects the old man with the eye patch, but then one day I wake up in the middle of the night to find the college student slicing open the throat of one of our teammates.”
    Your mouth opens wide. “Oh, shit,” you breathe. “And then you have to kill the student, and everyone thinks that you’re the murderer.”
    Joe sits up sharply. “And you’re the only one that believes me. Wait, no, you don’t know if you believe me, because I’ve done some scary shit that you never would’ve thought I’m capable of, and you feel like you don’t know me as well as you thought you did.”
    You sit up too. “But I back you up anyway,” you say, “for the sake of the man that I once knew, even if the man before me now is the same, but completely different. And we have to escape because the others are coming for us, and then it’s just the two of us, on the run from zombies and people. And then we get married.”
    Joe pulls up short. “Married?”
    “Yeah, duh,” you say. “Apocalypse married. You’ll be my apocalypse husband and I’ll be your apocalypse wife. All the best apocalypse TV shows have people getting married at some point. But we don’t have any rings, until we find some on some zombies we kill.”
    Joe laughs, his eyes crinkling. “Apocalypse married,” he repeats. He looks to you sharply. “Wait.” He scrambles off the bed, almost falling on his face, and he gets down on one knee, miming opening a ring box. “Will you apocalypse marry me? Make me the happiest apocalypse husband in the world? Well, what’s left of it?”
    You gasp, your hands flying to cover your mouth. “Yes, a thousand times yes!” you cry. You crawl over and stick out your left hand, and Joe slides an imaginary ring onto your ring finger, then tackles you in a hug onto the bed.  
    You squeal and giggle, clutching onto him, tucking your nose into his neck, and his arms are wrapped around you. You roll, so you’re lying on top of him.
    “You’re crushing me,” Joe wheezes.
    “This is how I kill you in the end,” you declare darkly, muttering into his skin. “You think I’m going for a hug, but I crush you. I can’t take it anymore, so I kill you and then let zombies tear me apart because I’m wracked with guilt and despair.”
    Joe manages a laugh. “We’re not in the apocalypse yet, dumbass. Get off me.”
    You let him breathe, shuffling back a bit, but you keep one arm around his stomach, resting your head on his chest. Joe’s arm comes to rest on your shoulders. You close your eyes, just feeling the way his chest moves as he breathes, listening to his heartbeat. His heart is beating fairly quickly, but you put it down to the fact that you just about suffocated him.

who do i write for? i write for roger, brian, and john; i write for joe, gwilym, ben, and lucy. unfortunately, i don’t write for pd roger, brian, or john. i prefer not to write 90s, either, but if someone were to request a 90s-specific ask, then i’ll consider it.
do i have a tag list? no, i’m afraid not. it’s just too much hassle for me, sorry!
please note: i’m very wary of underage readers, so if you send me a request on anon, i can’t confirm your age, so i won’t write smut. of course feel free to send requests on anon, but if it’s a smutty request i’ll reply with a non-smutty response.
