i mean - am i thinking about this dbf!jake making you ride him as you wear his stetson in the middle of the apocalypse, while calling you his good girl?

maybe i am, maybe im not 🤷‍♀️

*then praise kink ensues*

oof I feel like Jake’s stetson would become the equivalent of Rick’s sheriff had in twd where it just seems to survive absolutely everything lol

and I can just imagine you stealing it playfully from him one day and telling him you deserve it for how brave you’ve been, but from the second it’s planted on your head, Jake’s smirking at you.

“Yeah, I’d say you deserve it too,” He would mumble against your neck, already pulling your hips into his. “But you know the rule, right?”

he’s more than happy to explain the penalty for wearing a cowboy’s hat, and you’re more than happy to comply to the rule. settled away in some dark, safe corner of the camp, your knees against the ground on the either side of his hips, Jake would guide your hips up and down on him.

all the while, he’s whispering in your ear about how proud he is of you and how strong you’ve been — steadying the too-big hat onto your head with each time you bounce on him.

Picture Bucky come home to Bee playing doctor on Malyshka bc she saw a booboo on her mamas - aka a hickey

Just imagine getting the common cold/flu during the apocalypse. Everyone at the camp would freak out, because they are worried it's something more sinister, and Jake would just have to protect you even more from them. He would be so desperate to find you medicine. And he would hold you so close during the night while you shiver with a fever. He would hold your head and rub your back while you are being sick. He would keep awake while you fell into an almost delirious sleep, praying you'll wake up and hoping you'll feel better when you do. This man taking the best care of you ever

No because you’re so right, the second that someone is pointing a finger at you and gasping, “She’s sick!” Jake is on edge. It’s a shame, because he has grown to like some of these people, but he would never let a single one of them lay a finger on you. The second that fever hits, Jake is keeping you away from them.

So many symptoms that before were just common flu symptoms are now linked to being infected. Fever, drowsiness, migraines. He knows how fear makes people act, and people are afraid of sickness. These days, medicine isn’t readily available. They have looted all of the stores in the local area, they’ll have to travel further and further out, and he’s so afraid of leaving you but you’re in no condition to be travelling.

At first, he’s so sure that you’ll be able to get through this with just rest and fluids. He’s by your side constantly, holding you if you puke, rubbing your back when your awake. Even though there is no AC and you know your fever must be unbearable for him to lie next to, and even though you keep trying to brush him away, worried that you’ll get him sick too

But as the days pass and your fever still hasn’t broken, he knows you’ll need something more than fluids and rest. He all but threatens the life of the camp doctor (and I’m not saying that Jake cuffs him to a pipe outside of your room and takes the key on the supply run with him, but that’s exactly what he does).

Finally, after some medicine and more rest than you’ve had in a year, he starts to notice some improvements. He sticks by your side until you’re a picture of health again, at which time he holds you down and makes you swear to never, ever worry him like that ever again.

I’m loving the apocalypse dbf!Jake stuff so much!!! Jake being all gruff and protective and violent is intoxicating.

But I got thinking what if the Daggers showed up? Still friends with Jake before everything and his girl probably recognises them from pictures but meeting them…it would be a lot…

not to mention Mav and his cockroach abilities

Eee!! I’m so glad you’re loving it! I just can’t stop thinking about him and hahahahaha Mav and his cockroach abilities had me crying, that man really could survive just about anything

And I think Jake probably would come across them all as part of a much larger group. They’d all worked with the military when this had started, trying to slow the spread, and then when that had failed — they stuck together. Jake hadn’t even thought about them. His only priority was getting you to safety. Well, that’s a lie.

He had thought about trying to contact base once or twice, but never had.

Your group is small now. You’re barely surviving. The people you’re with aren’t equipped for how outnumbered you’ve been. Then, one day Jake comes across something different. Maybe like a prison, maybe like a power plant. Something sturdy, with a fence, and an eye-catching watchtower.

He knows that he has to scope it out from a distance if he’s going to take it. He can’t chance the people there hurting you.

So, every day for a week, Jake scopes the place out. Every angle. Every weak point in the fence and every entry point. He’s walking back through the woods one day when he hears a branch snap a second too late. By the time he reacts, he’s already on his front with a knee on the back of his neck.

“Don’t bullshit me, who are you with? — I’ve seen you watching this place.”

And the realisation hits. Jake wriggles to pull his arms from under him and yank the bandana down from over his nose, “Phoenix?”

“Hangman.” She breathes, still kneeling on his neck. Finally, it occurs to her to relent. “Holy shit, everyone thought you were dead.”
