The founding principle amongst the Pogues: no secrets. Unless, of course, you are sleeping with one. Three weeks ago, Parker Kate Routledge had everything she could ever want: four hundred million dollars worth of gold bars, a brand-new hot tub, and JJ Maybank naked in her bed. It was too good to last, and in a matter of days, it all came crashing down. The gold is gone. Her father was murdered. Her twin brother is dead. Now, Parker spends her days huddled in bed and her nights with the stars, wishing for John B to come back. She has truly lost everything -- her family, her fortune, and herself. JJ Maybank never expected his own words to bite him. For constantly saying he had "nothing to lose," he sure lost a lot. His best friend died, and now he watches the girl he loves slowly slip through his fingers. The light has gone from his favorite brown and blue eyes, and it's killing him. With a hole in his chest and Parker fading fast, JJ fights to keep himself and Parker afloat while keeping it quiet that he and Parker had sunk under the covers. When an unexpected message comes through, the Pogues are on another mission -- one important enough to get Parker out of bed and back on her feet. With fresh charges, more treasure, and a rapidly blossoming romance lying ahead for the teens, it's time for Parker and JJ to decide what they are...and how to keep a secret from their nosy friends.

Promises? Broken. Laws? Broken. Rules against macking a fellow Pogue? Somehow not broken. The only thing Parker Kate Routledge loves more than pushing boundaries is pushing her twin brother's buttons. And what better way than to flirt with his dangerously sexy and completely off-limits best friend? She's read enough dirty books to know what to say. What she doesn't know is how JJ always has the perfect response capable of toying with her mind. Nine years ago, JJ Maybank promised to stay away from his best friend's twin sister. And for good reason. Parker is more than gorgeous; she is incredibly smart and witty, while JJ is -- not. As much as JJ tells himself to stay away, he cannot help but turn into a shameless flirt whenever she enters a room. Parker might like that it drives John B mad, but JJ likes that it turns her cheeks pink. As the friend group's summer takes a crazy turn, Parker and JJ find themselves doing more than pretending to break the rules. The two are then left wondering what's real, what's fake, and how fast John B would kill them if they ended up together.

She was never meant to fall for the enemy. Jasmine June Maybank has always walked a thin line-fiercely loyal to her Pogue roots but constantly searching for trouble. She's JJ's older sister, a protector by nature and chaos in human form, doing whatever it takes to keep her chosen family safe. But everything starts to unravel when a secret relationship with Rafe Cameron-the golden boy of Figure Eight and her brother's sworn enemy-throws her into a dangerous game of loyalty and deception. As the Pogues search for the missing gold and the stakes grow deadly, Jasmine is forced to split her heart in two: one half still tethered to the people who she raised, the other drawn to the boy who should've stayed a mistake. When Rafe crosses an unforgivable line, Jasmine must decide where she truly belongs-and whether love can survive betrayal. Torn between blood and desire, loyalty and love, Jasmine has to make the one choice she's spent her whole life avoiding: pick a side. It's always been Kooks vs Pogues, could that ever change? The Outer Banks is no stranger to storms, but this time, it's her heart on the line. Will she survive the wreckage, or will Rafe Cameron be the one to pull her under? 💌 - Rafe Cameron started: 21/01/2025 finished: ✍️ ✍️ ✍️

She was never supposed to end up in his world. He was never supposed to look twice at her. Emera Graham has spent her life fighting for control-over her studies, her future, and the parts of herself shaped by a past she refuses to be defined by. At Briar U, she finally has a space that feels like her own...until a leaking ceiling, a broken apartment, and one very inconvenient brother change everything. Now she's living under the same roof as Dean Di Laurentis-Briar's infamous hockey player, certified problem, and her brother's close friend. Dean knows rules. He just rarely follows them. Especially not the ones that involve her. What starts as forced proximity turns into late-night arguments, accidental softness, and a tension neither of them can name without crossing a line they can't uncross. Because she is off limits, and he has never been good at staying away from things he shouldn't want. #1 in Dean Di Laurentis #1 Hockey Romance #1 frat #1 College Student #1 College romance REPUBLISHED + BONUS CHAPTERS started: may 15th, 2026 finished:

The Outer Banks was never supposed to be easy. Not for Pogues, not for people like Malory Jade Parker. After losing her father, Malory learned fast that survival on the Cut means holding tight to the people who stay. And for her, that's always been the Pogues, John B, JJ, Pope, and Kiara. They're reckless, loyal, chaotic, and constantly one bad decision away from disaster, but they're family. When a shipwreck pulls the group into the hunt for the Royal Merchant gold, what starts as another summer on the Outer Banks spirals into something far bigger than any of them imagined. Treasure hunts turn deadly. Friendships are tested. Secrets buried for years claw their way back to the surface. And somewhere in the middle of it all is JJ Maybank, the boy who's always been both Malory's safest place and her greatest risk. Through storms, loss, betrayal, near-death experiences, and the kind of love that refuses to let go, the Pogues are forced to fight not just for gold, but for each other. Because paradise was never meant for people like them, and survival was never just about staying alive. ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* 　　 Outer Banks Rewrite S1 - S4 (Season 5 eventually) ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* 　　 Highest Rankings #1 in "jj" #1 in "maybank" #1 in "jjmaybank" #2 in "rudypankow" ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* 　 This is an Outer Banks fanfiction following all four seasons of the show with original storylines, expanded character arcs, and canon elements.
