Deena & Josh

Deena & Josh is the family ship between Deena Johnson and Josh Johnson from the Fear Street fandom.

Part 1
Both Deena and Josh were residents of the town of Shadyside. They both attended the Shadyside High School. Later, a fully-costumed figure began stalking Deena and her friends. Deena, Josh, and her friends Kate and Simon decided to head to the local hospital to visit Deena's ex-girlfriend Sam, believing the figure to be Sam's boyfriend Peter. Josh, Kate and Simon waited by a vending machine while Deena confronted Sam. However, Sam and Deena soon ran past them, followed after by the figure, was was now wielding a knife. The figure ignored Kate, Simon and Josh, who began screaming.

Later, after Simon was attacked by a girl with a razor, Sam, Deena, Kate and Josh met at Deena and Josh's home. When Josh heard Simon's description of the girl, he realised that she was Ruby Lane, a Shadyside killer from 1965. He then told them about the previous killers of Shadyside's past, as well as the legend of Sarah Fier. Sam then told the group that after the car crash, she had visions of Fier. The group then went to the site of the crash, where they found Fier's body. They then attempted to rid themselves of the curse by giving Fier a reburial. However, more revived killers appeared and attacked the group, forcing them to flee.

As they fled in an ambulance, they realised that the killers were targeting Sam. Kate and Simon were attacked as they had Sam's blood on their clothes. They then went to the school, where they changed their clothes and cleaned themselves of Sam's blood. While at the school, they used Sam's blood to lure all of the killers to the bathroom, where they would burn them. The killers then regenerated their incinerated bodies as the group escaped to a classroom. Kate then proposed that they sacrifice Sam. Deena attempted to shut the proposal down, but Sam agreed to the plan. However, Josh then learned through a newspaper clipping that in a previous massacre, there was a survivor who had seen the witch, just as Sam had. They realised that Berman had died, but was brought back to life through CPR, thereby freeing her from the curse. After learning about Berman, they unsuccessfully tried to contact her through a wall-mounted phone.

The group then travelled in the ambulance to the supermarket pharmacy where Simon worked. There, they gathered various pills for Sam to overdose on. Simon then explained what effect each and every pill would have. After Sam overdosed, they would revive her with adrenaline. As a distraction, Simon, Kate and Josh would run around the supermarket smeared with Sam's blood. However, Sam vomited out several pills, ruining the plan just as Torres attacked them. Later, Simon and Josh came across Kate's dead body. Just as they turned to face each other, Simon was axed in the head. However, the curse on Sam was put to a stop once Deena drowned her and revived her with CPR, after which they were reunited with Josh. The next day, Josh came across Deena tying up a possessed Sam with a phone cord. He then helped her place Sam at the back of the car as they drove off to see C. Berman.

Part 2
Deena climbed in the window of Berman's house and the latter nearly stabbed her, initially believing her to be a resurrected killer. She was followed after by Josh. After revealing to her who they were, they brought her to the car and showed Sam. While she was initially hesitant to help, Berman eventually came around and recounted the massacre Deena and Josh, as well as how she had managed to survive. Berman told them that the only way to end the curse was to reunite Fier's hand with her body, which was not under the tree from which she was hung. However, after she finished recounting, Josh and Deena revealed that they had found Fier's body. The two then drove to the mall, which had been built over the tree, and found Fier's hand. After digging up the hand, they brought it to the site of the crash, and Deena reunited Fier's hand with her body, which resulted in her entering a vision of Fier's last days, those in Fier's last days taking the form of with those in her life. This included Fier's brother, Henry Fier, taking the form of Josh.

Part 3
Deena emerged from the vision just as Sheriff Nick Goode appeared. Deena then grabbed Josh's hand and pulled him into the forest, chased after by Goode. They then stole Goode's car and drove away, as Deena revealed that Goode was the actual witchcraft practitioner. Deena drove them to Berman's house, where they revealed the truth of the curse, and that they would need to kill Sheriff Goode in order to end it. They then drove to the house of Martin P. Franklin, the mall's janitor, in order to get his help.

After reaching the mall, the immediately began preparing for their plan, which involved attracting the killers and in turn, Goode. However, two officer, Kuzio and Kopinski, appeared before the monsters and attempted to apprehend them. The two are quickly killed by Harry Rooker, the milkman killer. As Goode arrived, Berman waited for him under the tree from which Fier was hung. She then dumped a bucket of blood on him, which made him a target for the resurrected murderers. They then unleashed the murderers, which they had previously trapped behind gates, onto him, as Christine ran away. However, Nick ran up to her and grabbed her, resulting on the blood getting onto her as well. Eventually, Nick fled the area with Deena chasing after him while Christine hid behind a store gate with Josh and Martin.

Fanon
The ship is the most written ship Josh on AO3, and the second most written ship on AO3 for Deena. It is also the second most written works on AO3 for a Fear Street family ship, and the seventh most written works on AO3 for a Fear Street ship overall. This is largely due to the fact that both characters are canonically siblings. However, their relationship is not very popular or frequently noted in written works as it does not play a major role in the trilogy's plot. The ship currently has 29 written works on AO3.
