The Idiot's Dream (billie joe armstrong x reader)
Esme Dickinson thought she knew what it meant to know someone from afar - but nothing could prepare her for the life-altering Boulevard of Broken Dreams that begins with a single song.
She's always found solace in music, her life soundtrack a Warning sign painted with the raw energy and emotion of punk rock. When she finally enters what she's been Dreaming about for years - a Green Day concert that feels like 21 Guns fired straight at her heart - her world takes a turn she could never have knowingly anticipated.
In a moment charged with pure adrenaline, Esme is pulled onstage by none other than Billie Joe Armstrong, the King for a Day frontman who's been Waiting in the wings of her life all along.
What begins as a surreal encounter under the blazing spotlight quickly evolves into something deeper when Esme is invited backstage after the show. Billie Joe - with his magnetic charisma and world-weary wisdom - thinks more then assuming She's a Rebel. As their connection grows, Esme is thrust into a onslaught of emotions, navigating the 21st Century Breakdowns of life, and the complexities of knowing a man whose life has been anything but an Ordinary World.
Amidst the chaos of fame and the quiet moments they share, Esme and Billie Joe explore what it truly means to See the Light - to be seen - by someone else. Their bond challenges them to confront their own fears, desires, and the daunting realities of their very different worlds.
Sometimes, love isn't just a Warning sign; it's the Last Night on Earth where everything finally makes sense - found in the delicate balance between vulnerability and strength, and the courage it takes to Stay the Night with the unknown.
