In the dosh pr au, Grace and Joe are expecting that the next partner Daniel brings home will be Max because nothing about their son’s relationship with max says platonic.
But then one day, he arrives with someone who is so not max verstappen. Josh is not what they’d expected but he helps out on the farm and he makes Daniel laugh like a little kid, something they’d so dearly missed the past few years
They all were completely sure that Daniel and Max were like on year 3 at least. And we're waiting for Daniel to let them know, to bring him home for Christmas.
He didn't expect this 6"5' American taking their bags out of the back of the ute while Daniel folded himself into Grace's hug. They didn't expect Josh to grin wide and hug everyone in greeting.
They didn't expect the kids to take to him so quickly and for him to scoop them up and run around the backyard while they all pumped Daniel for information.
They surely didn't expect the fierce blush and shy smile when Daniel talked about how they kinda just 'fell together'. They're the only ones that he tells that they weren't originally together, but they found that they enjoyed being with each other.
They didn't expect how easily Daniel folded himself into Josh's side or how unconsciously Josh pulled him close.
Joe was endeared immediately, finally someone he could talk football with that actually knew all the rules and plays like he did. Daniel enjoyed the game but he didn't too care to learn all the nuances. Michelle was endeared when Josh submitted quickly and easily to being a human jungle gym, completely ecstatic at being the kids' new favourite human.
Grace was the last to be endeared, and it happened when Josh found her privately to ask if she could help him make Daniel's favourite dinner.

To the anons upset about a maybe an enchante dosh business arrangement….youre missing out. Like think PR couple that catches feelings AU.
Seriously tho it doesn’t mean their support for each other is a lie—neither one of them are that good of actors for how thrilled they are gushing about each other lol
v v correct!! i think there are multiple moments where josh has worn daniel's merch and it's been totally authentic
exhibit a:
Tumblr media
exhibit b:
Tumblr media
HOWEVER, i also think his team have realised that josh likes wearing the merch and have gone hey, when u wear the merch its great pr for us we'd love to work together. the two can both co-exist and i just think its fascinating to look at the mechanisms of the way these deals are worked out and what they entail and how they can be hidden right before us!!

Had an idea for the dosh AU you were writing. Maybe instead of Daniel being in F1 he’s a socialite or influencer? who has gotten into some trouble lately, just acting out and to clean up his image they pair him with the boy next door Josh.
At first josh can’t stand Daniel, just thinks he’s so stuck up, but as they spend time together he gets to know the real Daniel and starts to actually fall for him.
Sorry Bestie, I've been holding onto this one for so long lmao! I hope its ok
Josh watched as Daniel went through his unnecessarily long skincare routine. It was late. They’d just come back from the after party and Daniel insisted that he needed to get his serums on or else his eczema would flare up overnight.
At first, Josh had hated this arrangement. Patrick had winced when he told him. Explained what he and Nick had come up with the fix Daniel’s image. He’d gotten caught up in the middle of someone else’s problems and had gotten cancelled by proxy. A shitty case of wrong place wrong time that was threatening to derail his career.
They hadn’t been friends, in fact, Daniel had annoyed the shit outta him. But they’d apparently been in enough spaces at the same time that a plausible ‘how we met’ story was possible. 
Daniel had been immediately carted to New York and he’d been at all the home games, cheering just as enthusiastically with Steffon’s and other teammates' girlfriends and wives.
Daniel was low maintenance in a high maintenance way, Josh had found. Yeah he looked like he just pulled clothes out of his bag and jammed his feet into his beat up pair of vans. But those outfits were specifically selected for reasons Josh hadn’t truly figured out as yet. He just knew that there was a method to Daniel’s madness and the man had a thing for brand awareness.
His jewlery was all high end, some custom and he didn’t just do any ole kind of partnerships. Daniel was selective– even when it had seemed like he didn’t have any right to be. 
It was stuff like that that had won Josh over in the end. He was a pretty chill guy who didn’t like flying and enjoyed staying home more often than not. Daniel’s public persona seemed completely opposite to that and Josh had balked at the potential personality clash.
Daniel turned off the lights and Josh heard the short clack of his retainer case before Daniel walked into the bedroom all shower warm and tired. Josh’s sleep pants drooped down his hips, showcasing that he was freeballing for bed. Daniel climbed under the sheets and snuggled close to Josh’s side lazily. 
It had only been a few months, six tomorrow, but Josh had learned a lot in that time. About himself and Daniel. The most important of which was to maybe not judge so highly.

Daniel gets giggly and babygirl for the drivers, but something about Josh’s presence makes him take all that to the max
So naturally the drivers are super curious as to why and are speculating if the dick is actually that good or is it just Josh being twice Daniel’s size
Everyone (rightly) assumes that Daniel is all up on Josh because he's a big boy. Lets be real, they do pda. But not like making out or even holding hands. Daniel's always under Josh's armpit looking up at him like he's completely dickmatized. Josh also would have a hand on Daniel's hip or ass.
Clearly the dick is that good and Josh is bigger than him

how does Max react to Dosh being public???
loving the new au. I’m Maxiel through and through but I have a small space in my heart for other ships.
not...well. Like he doesn't outwardly make a stink of it. But he does give Daniel the cold shoulder for a bit. Daniel wants to tell him but ultimately doesn't because he can't have there be media of him and Max looking all maxiel when he's supposed to be dating someone else. Allegedly.

Love the Dosh AU. I wonder how all the other drivers especially Max feel about Daniel and Josh or do they know it’s PR?
they all think its real! Daniel hasn't said anything because he really can't and we all know he can keep a secret as long as its in his contract lmao.
So everyone thinks they're dating and act accordingly. They're not jealous per say.... but they're not not jealous either

I just like the fic idea of this whole Daniel and josh as a PR relationship that turns into something real. WAG Daniel is one of my favourite Daniels. He’s thrive as Josh’s wag.
Do you mean something like this? I hope its what you're looking for? (I also haven't reread/edited😬)
Daniel tugged at his beanie, it was freezing even inside the car. 
“He really couldn’t have let Tua have that last game? We could have been playing in Miami again.” Daniel grumbled, his favourite refrain since realizing that the Bills getting the number 3 seeding and home field advantage had meant that they’d be back up north for the rest of the playoffs.
“Miami is having a cold front right now– you’d still be cold DR.” Blake pointed out, barely looking up from his phone. The SUV rolled forward slowly, pulling to a stop by one of the more private entrances to the stadium. There was a crowd of people, hoping and praying for a quick peek at Taylor no doubt.
“Yeah but a Miami cold front is still like….not snow.” The door opened and Daniel walked confidently behind their security team, waving and smiling at a few of those that apparently came to see him. He signed a few caps and took a few pictures before trekking into the stadium.
The biting feeling subsided as they went further into the comfortable set of tunnels at Highmark Stadium. Daniel grinned and greeted all of the staff that greeted him, that had become familiar to him since preseason when he had his brace and needed a change of pace. Josh had invited him to stay for a week during training camp. He hadn’t expected the warm welcome from the team (he thought himself a distraction, truly wanting to sit somewhere quiet and observe). They’d taken him in like family, Steffon’s girlfriend– Tae – had taken him to lunch. 
They hadn’t been together then, but that had changed quickly. Their regular facetimes and phonecalls made them comfortable with each other. Being in close quarters had made them aware of each other. It kind of just… happened. 
“Do you wanna go to the box first or the locker room?” Blake asked, pulling Daniel from his thoughts. 
“It’ll probably be faster if we swing by the locker room now. Catch them before Brady starts going over stuff.” Daniel pulled at his Bills Mafia scarf, rolling it around his forearm. They took a left and walked down a few more corridors before stepping into the home team hallway. They stepped into the noisy room, watching as the group of burly men roughoused and teased. One of the linemen noticed him first, pulling Daniel into a quick hug.
“Dammit, we’re late. No ones naked anymore!” Daniel complained loudly, laughing and dodging attempts to pull him into the middle of the chaos. 
Josh walked across the room, his half done up pads jutting off of him on all sides. His mouthguard stuck out through his teeth as he smiled.
“Hey you.” Josh pulled him into a hug, crowding Daniel’s smaller frame with his bigger one. He flipped off the guys when they wolf whistled. 
“Hey yourself. Fuckin full send out there, yeah?” Daniel smiled widely when Josh’s eyes lit up. He particularly loved it when Daniel told him good luck the same way he’d tell another driver. 
“No half sends.” Josh parroted back. Daniel leaned up onto his toes and pecked him on the lips before backing out of his arms. He left the room with a wave to the rest of the team and a swat on his ass.
“You think they have red bull? Or is that like a sponsorship thing?” Daniel mumbled to Blake as they walked towards the family box.

With all the content of Taylor and Travis post Super Bowl, this thought has been running in my mind
Josh and the buffalo bills win the Super Bowl in the pr au. Daniel on the field so proud and happy for Josh meanwhile Josh is a mess of emotions bc 1st Super Bowl and he’s so glad Daniel’s there for him
Also at the after party they would be hidden away in some corner
Josh would probably cling to Daniel as much as possible, holding his hand and hugging him when he isn't with the team.
He'd be completely emotional at the street party, and Daniel knowing him as well as he does takes him maybe on a terrace by a fire pit so they could have a moment alone. So Josh could clutch him close.
Daniel would tell him how proud and happy he is of him and how amazing he thinks Josh is. It would be cute and sweet and then they'd get fucking plastered

Is the pr relationship part of both Josh and Daniel being signed to caa and how Daniel was being paraded around by rb for sponsors???
Daniel thought Nick had been joking when he suggested pretending to date Josh.
They'd met up for lunch while he'd been in New York. They'd commiserated together about the plans his injury derailed and then Nick had pivoted.
“Peter wanted you to schmooze a few execs for us. See if we could get a few new brands on board.”
“Yeah ok, when and where?” Daniel picked at the paper he tore off of his straw. He recognized that his role was now a background one all over again.
“The Bills game in London.”
“I'm sorry?” Daniel's eyebrows raised.
“Well, you've been papped a few times at the training camp already. We've been fielding questions about why.”
“We're just friends.” Daniel mumbled.
“Who you've gone on national television talking about having man crushes on each other.” Nick pointed out flatly.
“Yeah nah, it's not like that.” Daniel leaned backwards in his chair.
“But it looks like that. Listen just, go out for a few weeks, get papped together a couple times. You don't even have to do any pda. You can break up after the game, after we get the new sponsors signed on.”
Daniel dragged his good hand down his face with a groan. This wasn't– he didn't think this would be how he spent the downtime.
“Can I like think about it, mate?”
Daniel's phone went off, Josh's name popped up. As if summoned.
Nick smiled victoriously, as if he'd already won

Love the new dosh au!!!
Wag Daniel is the best. Is he still an f1 driver? And has Josh been to a race if he is?
Oh! I'm glad you do💕💕💕
Daniel is, he goes back to racing in COTA. They're still dating then, though the lines between 'this is for PR' and 'maybe something more' have blurred by then.
Josh hasn't been to a race yet, his bye week was earlier in the season so he's playing every Sunday (and some Mondays) since Daniel started racing again.
Josh plans to go to a couple this year before training camp.

Honestly the way that dosh met plays so well into the pr au. Like their managers (or was it trainers??) were friends and Daniel just so coincidentally happened to have Josh’s jersey. And it’s in Monaco where all the celebrities and athletes come so it’s not odd that an American football player is just there before he’s showed much interest in the sport
Dosh was the pr relationship to get us to stop talking about maxiel. they said 'we can get international attention on Josh and further help Daniel break into the American market'.
that was is. that was the brief.
I don't think anyone anticipated that these two would have essentially started trying to suck each other off (organically) on live tv.
and i think its their managers that are friends and coworkers

In the pr dosh au they could have decided for Josh to go to the car launch instead of the nfl honors because they knew more publicity would come from the car launch than the nfl honors
People didn't even know that NFL Honours was the same night. But you know what they did know? VCARB Launch. Josh looked cute all dressed up, heart eyesing Daniel. No one's talking about the potential award he did or didn't win, but he's on ESPN and Yahoo! Sports showing how strong and gentlemanly he is!
