Josephine Rhodes has always been the same. Sweet, dependable, and the life raft that held the Pogues together. But even she might not be able to keep them afloat anymore. With John B doing his best impression of a human car crash, her dad harboring secrets that could blow everything apart, and danger lurking around every corner, all bets are off. Now, Josephine has to survive a summer of a whole lot of bad decisions without losing her dad, her friends, or her mind. And worst of all? What the hell is she supposed to do about her very inconvenient feelings for her reckless, too charming best friend? ˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚ Part 1 of the Fool's Gold Series JJ Maybank x fem!OC Outer Banks Season 1 COMPLETE RANKINGS #1 on Outer Banks Netflix - 2/26/25 #1 on Matthew McConaughey - 1/14/25 #1 on North Carolina - 1/16/25 #1 on Rudy Pankow - 1/23/25 #1 on Maia Reficco - 7/29/25 #2 on Kie - 3/29/25 #2 on John B Routledge - 3/11/25

"You know, maybe I could just go for Cassie!" Rafe yelled out to a lonesome JJ walking away. He turned and tackled Rafe to the ground, pinning him, "If you every so much touch a hair on her head, I will kill you. You hear me? Don't ever even look at her, you pig. Keep her beautiful name out of your filthy mouth." So maybe there was one person that JJ loved more than anything and it was her.

Every summer is a story. That's what some poetic people say. Each second is a letter, each minute is a word. Every day, a new page is written. But, for the Pogues, this summer was more than just a story. It was a novel. Lives changed every time they blinked their formally innocent eyes. When kids are little, treasure hunts are for pirates. But for Everleigh and her twin brother John B, treasure hunts were the reason their dad would avoid telling them anything. Treasure hunts were an excuse to disappear for days at a time. And treasure hunts, were the escape from the inconsistent life of living on The Cut. Bets are made, hands are thrown, and lives are constantly at risk during the hunt of a lifetime. They thought their life of being carefree was over. But to them, being carefree was just a mindset, and if you could handle the pressure... there was no turning back.

A lot happens in that time, especially for a teenage girl who left 14 and came back 16. JJ definitely noticed this change. And he likes it...even if John B would slaughter him for thinking those things about his twin sister... • [OBX Season 1-?] [JJ Maybank x Fem!OC] | started Nov. 17, 2024 | Highest Rankings: #1 in jjmaybankfanfic (10/04/25) #4 in jjmaybankfanfic (02/24/25) #10 in outerbanks (08/07/25)
