For two years, Lorelai Gilmore tried to make it work, two babies, a tiny potting shed, and a life she was building from nothing in Stars Hollow. But survival meant choices. Christine Hayden grows up in Hartford instead, raised in privilege by Christopher Hayden and the powerful Hayden family, surrounded by wealth, tradition, and a world that was always meant to be hers. Oc x Oc - with love, Ysa.

She hated him. She hated him more than she ever thought possible. He was a kook- her natural born enemy. He didn't hate her at all. Not one bit. It couldn't have been farther from the truth. Did she know that? No- and she never would. - "You and I, always almost. Again and again. We were always on the verge of almost. Never nothing, never something." - oc x oc | kori maybank & logan cameron | -

"𝚈𝚘𝚞'𝚕𝚕 𝚋𝚎 𝚏𝚒𝚗𝚎." "𝙽𝚘𝚝 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞." Samantha Rae Cameron isn't the cold, heartless bitch everyone thinks she is. She's different now. She's seen what her family built, she's seen what it costs, and she's stopped pretending the truth doesn't belong to her anymore. But when another legend surfaces and her friends decide the risk sounds reasonable, Samantha struggles to follow. Because this time, the hunt feels different. And somewhere beyond the storm they barely survived and the empire she watched collapse, her parents left something unfinished behind. And the world Samantha thought she understood? It was only ever one board. Now, the rules are different. And for the first time in her life, she isn't a piece on anyone's game. She's something far more dangerous. 𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 Part two of the Pretty When She Series JJ Maybank x fem!OC Outer Banks Season 2 RANKINGS #1 on Sadie Stanley - 3/12/26 #3 on North Carolina - 5/7/26
