✨ What happens after the ending you thought was final? ✨ Some connections don't stay buried, no matter how deep you try to push them. Some people leave marks that never really fade, even when the love seems like it's gone. And sometimes - in the cities that hold all your history - you look up and there they are. The one you've been trying to forget. Joe and Riley's story didn't end when they thought it did. It just went quiet. Through anonymous gifts and careful distance, new hair colors and old wounds, they've both tried to move on while still carrying pieces of each other. But now? The walls they've built are cracking. Because some things - the way he still feels like home, the way she still makes him forget how to breathe - don't just disappear because you want them to. 💔 The sequel to Hide is about what it means to love someone twice. To rebuild trust from nothing. To choose each other again, knowing exactly how much it can hurt. 💔

But when chart-topping musician Riley Carter shows up on set-and he's caught reacting in real time-things take a turn. What starts as a viral moment turns into something else entirely: a private connection that spans hotel rooms, time zones, FaceTime calls, and everything fame makes harder. But when their quiet romance becomes impossible to hide, Joe and Riley have to decide if love is worth the spotlight. 「#hide」 「#joeburrowxfem!oc」 ୭˚. ᵎᵎ All Rights Reserved | mrs-delaney.tumblr.com

Imagines, one-shots, and requests for Joe Burrow Some are soft, some are angsty, some get a little messy. Imagines marked with * include smut. Each post will include content warnings and either a summary or the original request, just so you know what you're getting into. I'll usually add a few photos to help set the vibe too. Requests are open! Just know they might take me a minute-I'm working through a few right now and I also take requests over on Tumblr. Tumblr: mrs-delaney.tumblr.com

Joe Burrow is trying something new: being seen. Not Joe Burrow the quarterback everyone knows-but Joe the person. The one who reads philosophy books, thinks about more than football, and is finally ready to show a little more of himself. It's strategic, his team says: attend events, do appearances, offer glimpses of his real personality. Give the media something so they stop digging for everything. Y/N Y/L/N has always been seen-maybe too much. Fourteen million followers know about her bipolar disorder, her endometriosis, her therapy breakthroughs, her bad days and good ones. She built an empire on radical honesty because hiding almost killed her once. Authenticity made her famous-but it hasn't made love easy. Every partner adored her when she was shining. Every partner left when she wasn't. When she meets Joe at the Met Gala, neither knows who the other is. He's just a guy with a cufflink problem. She's just someone kind enough to help. A brief, genuine moment-before the chaos pulls them apart. Six months later, at the GQ Awards, they meet again. This time they know exactly who the other is-and that spark wasn't imagined. He's learning to be open. She's spent years living that way. He's realizing that being seen doesn't mean being consumed. She's learning that privacy isn't dishonesty-it's protection. They're not opposites; they're two people meeting in the middle. This is a story about timing, growth, and connection-about what happens when you meet someone right as you're both becoming who you're meant to be.
