I hope I never see what your face looks like going. John B. Routledge & Rafe Cameron, Outer Banksㅤ🦴 gutsfang 2026. cover by @heartfates

Before the treasure hunts and blood in the water, there was Sloane Carrington and Rafe Cameron. The golden couple of Figure Eight. She saw the boy beneath his volatility long before the island saw the danger. When the summer that changes everything begins, Sloane becomes Rafe's anchor as he spirals, until loving him starts to cost her pieces of herself. By the time the island fractures, the fault lines between them are already there. © kooksandpearls | Feb, 2026

After a year away at Kitty Hawk, Cassie Maybank returns to the Outerbanks with a determination to get her life back on track. To stay healthy, to make her own friends, to live a normal, steady life like every teenage girl should. But after hearing the news of the passing of one of her closest friends, and coming back to the island, she realizes her brother's letters severely underestimated how much had truly changed. A lot can happen in a year. Friends become strangers, brothers become liars. Some enemies become allies, some enemies become lovers. © Inslaytiable | June 22nd, 2023
