Darker London-Uncover what is underneath...

Joe lived with his very gay son, his granddaughter, and his son's boyfriend. It was a perfect living situation in his mind, save for the fact that his wife and daughter were no longer with them. But as far as his life was now, he was finally content again.

( Intuitive little angel )

Joe was supposed to be in Blackpool with his son and granddaughter, but in the end he had opted to stay with Adam. Crystal was still missing and Joe wasn't going to leave his oldest and best friend alone while his love was gone. Especially not after Joe knew exactly how it felt to lose someone you loved. Joe had lost more than anyone ever should. He hated that Adam now stood to lose so much too.

( Tears )

Joe was at work and he had just managed to sit down for some much needed late lunch when his son burst through his office door with a grin. "Dad! Hi! Oh, soup!" Julian practically danced over to Joe's side and he helped himself to Joe's soup.

( Not a Hypocrite )

Joe woke up at around eleven to find his legs hopelessly entertwined with Jordan's. He looked over at her and he gave her a sleepy smile. "Mmmm. Hi."

( Secrets )

Julian had assured his father he was alright and he had returned to his own home, though Joe had told Renee to watch out for him. They had had a long talk about how things just never really got better because even if Julian dealt with his issues of addiction, Damon still wasn't there. Joe said he knew. Jordan wasn't either. Julian was going to struggle until he dealt with his feelings of abandonment and betrayal, which wasn't easy when heroin promised to take all the pain away. He didn't want to be crowded. Joe understood. It might make Julian feel like he was already failing to have his father constantly looking over his shoulder. And if he was already failing, why not fail more? Joe still worried.

( Happy New Year )

Joe had done a stupid thing. Moreover, he had done a stupid thing in front of everyone. He had kissed Annik at his mother's Christmas party, and while Lavinia had deftly avoided bringing it up to him because she knew Joe didn't want to talk about it yet, there was someone Joe needed to clear things with. His son.

( Neverending )
