    Summary

    To dance is to know somebody, to love them. Sometimes, to dance is to hate. And Joseph hated nothing more than seeing Caesar dance.

    Joseph earned his role as the lead. He deserved it! So what if Caesar reminds him every day that he doesn’t? It’s not like he cares. He definitely doesn’t care. Definitely not.

    Summary

    Zeppeli’s Wine, Beer, & Spirits is supposed to be a respectable establishment! An upscale market where folks can shop for a wide range of beverage alcohol ranging from local craft beers to imported spirits, sugary party pleasers to small batch vintage wines. The hell was Caesar thinking, giving the most disaster-prone man he knows a job in a place where things are both valuable and breakable?

    Joseph goddamn Joestar has been trying his limited patience for the past few weeks.

    [An AU where Caesar runs a liquor store in Little Italy, Gyro is the eccentric sommelier, Johnny only drinks bourbon, and Joseph is a loveable mess.]

    Summary

    Caesar sighed, still sitting on the cobbled street by the fountain, probably feeling the same mild foolishness Joseph was at the moment. "For you, signore Speedwagon, and for my family, I will do this. Not for him."

    Speedwagon opened his mouth.

    "But if you're thinking of asking for an apology," Caesar cut him off, meeting Joseph's eyes as he pulled himself to his feet, "Don't push your luck."

    When the threat of the pillarmen throws Joseph Joestar into the orbit of arrogant Italian player Caesar Zeppeli, he's less than enthused to see where their alliance leads. But as their uneasy truce becomes camaraderie, then friendship, then something else, JoJo is forced to decide what he wants - and what he's willing to risk - before it's too late.

    Summary

    The main thing, really the only thing, that’s going through Caesar’s head is to yell at this idiot for swerving in front of his car and ask him what the hell he was thinking, and to check that he’s really alright, probably. But when he makes eye contact with said idiot, somehow all that comes out of his mouth is “Do I know you?”

    Summary

    As much as Joseph hated to admit it, a significant part of his motivation to study abroad was to escape his reputation and become something more than bruised knuckles and a family name. It had been less than a week into his new chance at life, and he already got into a fairly nasty fight. 5500 kilometres wasn’t far enough to finally escape himself.
     
    Recently arriving in New York for his first year of college, Joseph Joestar has already found himself trading blows with a sharp-tongued, promiscuous blonde prettyboy. The fight ends with him quickly being pinned, and he decides to take up Jiu-Jitsu to gain the upper hand the next time they cross paths.

    Summary

    Sixty-seven years after its maiden voyage, your grandson invites you to tell its story, ostensibly on his dime. He and his cohorts have spent the last three years searching for the Red Stone of Aja, a valuable gemstone said to be worth more than the Hope Diamond. You never told him you were a survivor, and you can only imagine that he wished he had found out in any way other than that picture — that damned picture. When you close your eyes, you can still remember laying down to have it done. You remember those shimmering green eyes as they roamed over your body, committing its lines to memory and paper. You never spoke of those eyes, nor their owner, to anyone before. There is, of course, a first time for everything.

    Summary

    Your grandson is marine biologist, not a historian. But when he asks you to accompany him on this journey, you can only imagine it’s because of ‘The Ship.’ You’d told him of it years ago, when he was a small child, precocious and eager to hear of the tales of his grandfather’s childhood. In spite of this, however, he’d never shown much interest in ‘The Ship’ in his adulthood, but you suppose it’s more or less because of his friend’s interest that compels him to ask you for assistance.

    “Normally, I wouldn’t be coming to you for this,” he makes sure to tell you as he carefully helps you down from the helicopter. Always like Jotaro, to make sure that he seems completely detached before meticulously attending to your safety. “But seeing as you were there, Kakyoin would greatly appreciate it if you could tell us everything about her.”

    “Her,” you mumble. As if ‘The Ship’ were a living thing. If it was, it was certainly a failure at living, having capsized on her damned maiden voyage. “Well, I suppose I have little to do in my spare time nowadays, yes? Why not spend some talking to youngsters about one of the most traumatic times of my life?”

    Summary

    Love is like touching the flat-top grill at work. At first he feels nothing and then a warmth and then it’d burn and they would have to discount the tofu burgers because of singed human flesh. Caesar has long since learned that love, that romance, is boring and unnecessary.

    Summary

    Caesar is a struggling Master's student and paying for everything is more than he and his grandfather can handle. When he remembers a friend saying that they had met someone on a dating site who had offered to pay for their classes, he considers the idea himself. User "Joe★" proposes something that Caesar can't pass up. Two nudes a day for ten thousand dollars? Deal.

    Summary

    Joseph reflected, numbly, staring at Caesar’s slack face, that he’d probably loved him the instant Caesar had first called him an idiot. He’d hated him with such intensity that when there was nowhere for the hate to flow, he’d just begun to love him, pure and simple, with just the same fervor.


    Joseph and Caesar, student athletes and gigantic idiots, fall in love over the course of a year (ish).

    Summary

    After a moment, Caesar registered a blurred moving object passing in front of his face. A second later, there was a,
    “Hello? Dude, can you take our order?”
    More blinking. More time to register. There was a lot of green, but maybe it was a face.
    “Welcome to the Daily Grind. What can I get for you today?”
    “Um, buddy, my eyes are up here.”
    Caesar was a tall guy. Like, annoyingly tall. Sometimes-he-hit-his-head-on-doorframes tall. But Caesar had to actually tilt his head up to look this guy square in the eye. He was a basketball player. He had to be. What else could he be doing with all that height?
    In a moment of horror, Caesar realized he had been talking directly into this customer’s chest.
    “You’ve got quite a pair of pecs,” Caesar heard himself say.

    Summary

    But Joseph hasn't been addressed and the fact that he hasn't, that Caesar has to ask about him, numbs him.

    He steels himself and he can barely hear his own voice over the loud, rushing static in his head. “And what about Jojo?”

    She flicks her eyes away and he knows, he knows right then and there, and he tries not to vomit or read too much into such a small gesture, but she isn't leaping at the opportunity to tell him Joseph’s fine. He can only handle a few seconds of silence before he's speaking again, the fear disrupting his tone and becoming all too apparent despite the force he puts behind it.

    “Maestra, what about Jojo?”

    Summary

    Joseph had no idea what he'd hoped to achieve by fake proposing to Caesar on a whim, but it sure as hell wasn't this.

    AKA the one where everyone thinks they're already dating and Joseph's practical joke goes terribly wrong.

    Summary

    Set six months after the conclusion of Battle Tendency; Caesar survived his Wamuu fight but was incapacitated, so no other changes to canon, except Caesar's survival is why Joseph did not pursue Suzie. LisaSu is mentioned in passing because they deserve to be happy.

    In the years before America enters the second world war, a love for the ages is threatened not only by homophobic bigotry, but also by the star-crossed lovers' enemy nations. How can Caesar possibly stay with Joseph when a visa is an impossibility, and war might erupt any day? In spite of the risks, Joseph has a solution.
