Hazel has always been off-limits. Not because of her. Because of her brother. Topper has been Rafe's best friend for as long as anyone can remember, and Hazel has always been the little sister Rafe was never supposed to look at that way. But somewhere between childhood memories, late-night conversations, parties and years of pretending there was nothing there... Something changed. Rafe knows one thing for sure: Hazel is the one girl he can never have. Because falling for his best friend's little sister could ruin everything. And Hazel knows that too. But knowing they're not supposed to be together has never stopped them from getting closer. A forbidden love. A best friend. A little sister. And a secret neither of them can keep forever.

They say opposites attract. But Kylie and Rafe? They're two versions of the same wreckage. She numbs the chaos with sharp jokes and small pills. He hides behind silence, violence, and a name no one dares whisper twice. She wants out - out of this town, out of the lies, out of herself. But the Pogues pull her back in. And so does he. Every. Damn. Time.

Outer Banks has always been the go-to place for Iris Turner. Yet, coming back means facing the painful memories she left here. Born Kook but Pogue by heart, she grew up with her friends without ever giving up her privileged life. But, while she was away, the group has changed. A new member is now part of it: Rafe Cameron. She hates everything about him: what he did, what he is, the man he become. And the feeling seems to be mutual. However, if Iris wants to regin her place with the Pogues, she'll have to learn to live with him. Can hatred really remain intact, when two people are forced to grow closer? °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ ❀ This story takes place two years after Season 4 of Outer Banks, in which JJ is still alive and Sarah did not have her baby. The characters are around 22 years old, while Rafe is 24. ❀ Some elements from the show have been changed, the characters remain the same, and some are entirely from my imagination :)

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

Raven Routledge might've been the younger sister of John B, she was a kook at heart, she loved the fancy things, and she got those fancy things, Topper was more of a brother than John B was to her most of the time. Ever since their dad died, or John B claims as "went missing", he's been a royal prick to her. It did nothing but piss John B and the other Pouges off that Raven would hang out with the Kooks. She would hang with Sarah most of the time, but it she wasn't close with all the Cameron's- her and Rafe about kill each other every time they're in each other's presence- but Raven can't help but long for him, and neither could Rafe.

"He's my-" "Best friend. I get it. But then why is he looking at you like this?" "Like what..?"

Rafe Cameron was the last person she should have fallen for -her best friend's brother, a Kook with too many demons to count. He drank to forget, fought to feel, and spiraled until there was nothing left of him but the chaos he created. But with her, he was different. She was the only one who could quiet the storm in his head, the only thing that made him feel something real. She should have walked away. He should have let her go. Instead, they became each other's favorite sin -an addiction neither of them could escape. 𝓗𝓮 𝓱𝓾𝓻𝓽 𝓶𝓮 𝓫𝓾𝓽 𝓲𝓽 𝓯𝓮𝓵𝓽 𝓵𝓲𝓴𝓮 𝓽𝓻𝓾𝓮 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮~
