One good Joey and Rachel fanfiction could be 'The Unspoken Feelings'. It delves into the time after they almost got together. It shows how they deal with their lingering emotions in a really sweet way.
I don't have the exact episode in mind. But it could be when Rachel shows interest or when Joey feels it's the right time to pass on the story. Sometimes it just happens spontaneously in the context of their friendship.
Often, it was a build - up of shared experiences. They had been through so much together that one day, while reminiscing about their memories, the mood just got so right that Joey kissed Rachel.
In the fanfiction, their first kiss might be a moment full of surprise. Maybe it happened suddenly during an emotional conversation.

Rachel, initially shocked, then slowly melted into the kiss, making it a sweet and unexpected moment.
