The Idiot's Dream: ORIGINAL (billie joe armstrong x reader)
BIG SIDENOTE: THIS IS THE FIRST FANFIC IVE EVER WRITTEN, SO IT IS QUITE ROUGH edit: THIS IS THE ORIGINAL COPY!!! Esme Dickinson thought she knew what it meant to love someone from afar, but nothing could prepare her for the life-altering journey that begins with a single song. Eighteen-year-old Esme Dickinson has always found solace in music, her life soundtrack dominated by the raw energy and emotion of punk rock. When she finally attends her dream concert, an electrifying night she's been dreaming about for years, her world takes a turn she could never have anticipated. In a moment of pure adrenaline, Esme is pulled onstage by none other than Billie Joe Armstrong, Green Day's legendary frontman who has unknowingly shaped her life from a distance. What begins as a surreal encounter under the spotlight quickly evolves into something deeper when Esme is invited backstage after the show. Billie Joe, with his magnetic charisma and world-weary wisdom, sees something in Esme that's more than just a fan's admiration. As their connection deepens, Esme is thrust into a whirlwind of emotions, navigating the complexities of a relationship with a man whose life has been anything but ordinary. Amidst the chaos of fame and the introspective quiet of their private moments, Esme and Billie Joe explore what it means to truly see and be seen by someone. Their bond challenges them to confront their own fears, desires, and the daunting realities of their very different worlds. This is a story about finding love in the most unexpected places, the delicate balance between vulnerability and strength, and the courage it takes to embrace the unknown.Complete
Trapped in Active Depart // Billie Joe
Can you imagine what's it's like, to have your heart not only broken, But stamped on and ripped to shreds by a boy who's face you can not go a day with out? His voice constantly on every radio station, his face on every music channel, his name on every music magazine. Maybe he's matured a little since. After all, we were young dumb teenagers in love. Or maybe he'll just never change. "I put my heart in your hands Billie Joe," I chocked as the tears continued to spill out of my eyes and down my face. "And you handed it back in a million fucking pieces," "Look, I know I hurt you. I didn't know what I was doing I swear, I never meant to me make you cry or to break your heart," he defended with the guilt burning in his eyes. "It haunts me everyday what I did to you, although it was all those years ago I haven't gone a day where I don't regret it," "I was never able to fully get over you. I was never able to forget the light in your bastard eyes. Or the way you laughed. Or the way you smiled. Because everywhere I turned there you were. On my television, playing in my stereo In my car. And it is. Torture. Even after all those years," "But I'm not that person anymore," He repeated desperately. "I've changed. For the better," "And how am I suppose to ever believe you?" "Please. Just trust me. I promise you, I won't break your heart again," he babbled nervously. As he fidgeted with his fingers. "I'll never be that me again," I took in a deep breath. As I felt my hands shake slightly still as they sat in my lap. "We're not who we use to be." I sighed. "And I'm scared to get hurt again," He took my shaking hands into his as he held them. Stroking the back of my hand with him thumb. "We're gonna be trapped in active depart forever," he whispered. "If you don't let me change the way you think of me when your eyes meet mine." "Trapped In active depart. Sounds better than trapped in another heartbreak," "But I'm trying, Do you care?" I sighed. "I'll always care,"Complete

Westbound Sign ➵ Billie Joe Armstrong
Woodstock, 1994. Collin Grey doesn't belong in the fluorescent lit future that haunts her. A safe, quiet life that fits like someone else's jacket. The cookie cutter American dream. She doesn't quite belong in the chaos, either. So when her best friend drags her to a muddy music festival halfway across the country, she goes, not to rebel, just to breathe. She's not looking to be found. Especially not by Billie Joe Armstrong. He's the kind of alive that makes her nervous grinning through the wreckage, loud without apology. The lead singer of a band she barely listens to, the kind of person who sees right through people like her: the quiet ones. The scared ones. The ones who want more but don't know how to ask. When a rainstorm turns the festival into a swamp of music and chaos, Collin is forced to face everything she's been avoiding, herself included. But Billie? He's not just a distraction. He might be the reckoning. For all his noise, listens in a way no one else ever has. He doesn't try to fix her. He just sees her. It's not a love story. Not yet. But it's the start of something. Something messy & loud. Something real.

When Billie and his wife find her, they don't just offer shelter, but they offer something Maxine has never had. But she's spent too long learning that safety is temporary and adults are dangerous. Music was her only constant, her survival mechanism, the one thing that couldn't hurt her. Now the man whose songs kept her alive is her father, and Maxine has no idea how to let that happen. Between panic attacks triggered by flannel shirts and brothers who don't understand why their new sister flinches at loud noises, Maxine has to unlearn everything her past taught her. Billie has to figure out how to parent a kid who's already raised herself. And somewhere in the mess of failed dinners and 3 AM nightmares, they have to decide if broken things can be loved as they are, or if healing is the price of belonging. Some families are born. Some are built. This one has to be both. (sidenote: billie's wife AND tre's wife are ocs from different fanfics! thats why they aren't listed by name!!!)Complete
