Your Muse: Joseph, from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat
Muse wanted: Anyone, minus the Pharaoh! He can be found at sostonethecrows. I would especially like a Potiphar, and his wife. (I have ideas for specifics with the two, for the story, so please see the cut!) I know that the Pharaoh would love the Baker and the Butler, and other people to work for him, too. As would I, for Joseph to be buddies with. Again, see the cut for details.
Community: sixwordstories, smuttysws, personal journals etc
Fandom: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat
Canon: Sort of~ Modernized and shifted accordingly
Book, Movie, Game, Other: Musical
PB: Up to you! I would really like John Slattery, or Jon Hamm for Potiphar, though. Or JS for Jacob. Christina Hendricks for Potiphar's wife would be ahmaaaaaahzing

So this is an idea that I have had in my head for quite a while, but I've never had the chance to fully flesh it out like I have now.


For starters, just to explain a bit - Joseph is a Mormon, which is why his father has multiple wives, and why he's all ~I don't believe in free love~ It gives him a bit of naivety too, with having grown up in such a closed community.

And with that out of the way!

As in the musical, and corresponding biblical story, Joseph is Jacob's favourite son. He spoils him, and always has. Instead of getting him a coat of many colours, he gets him a designer coat. (One that does reflect different colours depending on the light, though) His brothers are, of course, jealous of the jacket, since they never get anything like that, and decide that they want to get rid of Joseph.

To do so, they take him out, and slip roofies in his drink, and when he wakes up, he's on a bus that's headed to New York. Irate he decides that he is just going to stay on it, and stay in New York, instead of calling his Father and asking for help. He does have his pride, after all. To his Father, the Brothers say that Joseph has decided to leave the Mormon way of life, something that is obviously ~as bad as death~ to the devout Father.

Once in New York, Joseph has to find himself a job, and ends up working as a mail boy at a Wall Street office. He likes the job, and does it eagerly, often bringing coffee or pastries along with him to give to those he's delivering mail too - after all, he wants to make friends. The boss [Potiphar] takes notice of this, and takes a liking to Joseph, and decides to see what he can make of the stock market. After making several unlikely predictions that turn out correct, [Potiphar] decides to give him a promotion, and takes him under his wing as his apprentice/prodigy type thing.

Now, [Potiphar] is a man who works many hours, and who has a young, attractive trophy wife. She gets lonely often and comes to the office, and takes a liking to Joseph, and decides she wants to have some fun with him. Joseph, who ~doesn't believe in free love~ rejects the offers, of course, until one day the wife corners him, pinning him to a desk, and when [Potiphar] walks in, he fires and blacklists Joseph, so though he is good at what he does, the other boss-men on Wall Street are wary of hiring him, because they've heard he likes to sleep with the bosses wife, which they don't want.

Wallowing in self pity and looking for a job, meets [the Baker] and [the Butler]. They work for [the Pharaoh], a spoiled rich boy who has lost quite a bit of money lately, and they're worried about losing their jobs. Joseph tells them what he used to do, and they ask regarding the stock shares they hold. When the predictions that Joseph gives them about their stock turn out to be correct, they tell [the Pharaoh] this, he requests to see him. Joseph helps him, and he hires him as his personal adviser.

And that is all I've come up with so far. I'm not sure how/why the brothers and father would turn up in NY, and whatnot, but that can be worked out eventually. I'm sure I'll come up with something.
