Here's the thing about the Outer Banks: there's two sides to this place. The Cut, and Figure Eight. Pogues versus Kooks. And trust me, the line between the two? It's about as deep as the ocean. Me? I'm Y/N Routledge. 17. John B's little sister. Which automatically makes me a Pogue. We don't have money, we don't have fancy boats or vacation houses, but we've got each other. And that's enough. Then there's Jackson Genrette. Jackson. A Kook. He's got the parents, the money, the privilege, everything handed to him since the start. Best friends with Rafe Cameron, which should tell you everything you need to know. Arrogant. Reckless. Infuriating. And if there's one person I swore I'd never get tangled up with, it's him. But the thing about the Outer Banks? Nothing ever goes the way you think it will. But that summer, the lines began to blur. And sometimes, the person you swear you hate most is the one you can't stay away from. **This story can also be found on my TikTok account as well with many others!!!!** TikTok: @obxstoriess_p4l

Abby Baker is the kookiest a kook can get, but when she starts hearing about her old best friends treasure hunt she can't help but want to get involved. JJ Maybank x Abby Baker

"Because she believes in things. In people. In the idea that things can actually turn out okay. Like there's still something good waiting at the end of all this mess. I don't think like that. But she does it so easily it almost makes you want to believe it too. Like maybe she's right. Like maybe not everything's already screwed. She's a romantic like that. Not in a stupid, fairytale way, but in the way she holds onto things. The way she looks at people like they're worth saving. Like love actually means something. Like it's enough." ｡ﾟ•┈୨♡୧┈• ｡ﾟ On the Outer Banks, nothing stays buried for long. Not secrets. Not feelings. Hannah Calloway has spent her life holding herself together-quiet, careful, controlled. But control is harder to keep when everything around her is falling apart. JJ Maybank was never built for control. He's reckless, impulsive, all fire and instinct-and lately, he's been burning a little too close to the people who care about him. Especially her. They exist in the in-between. Not just friends. Not quite something more. Caught in glances that last too long, touches that mean too much, words neither of them are brave enough to say. Because wanting someone is one thing. Risking everything for them? That's something else entirely. ｡ﾟ•┈୨♡୧┈• ｡ﾟ ♡ JJ x Female OC ♡ Slow burn ♡ Dual POV

"When I think back on it now, I don't remember what we built in the sand or how long we stayed. I just remember the feeling. Like the sun got a little warmer. Like something had started without me noticing. Back when everything was still easy. Back when she was just a girl who walked up to me on the beach and decided we were going to be friends. Back when Hannah was all sunshine." ｡ﾟ•┈୨♡୧┈• ｡ﾟ On the Outer Banks, the tide carries everything - secrets, memories, the people you thought you left behind. Hannah Calloway learned early how to be exactly who the world expected: soft smiles, careful choices, a heart kept safely out of reach. JJ Maybank was never safe - all sharp edges and sunlit chaos, the kind of person you feel before you understand. They were once friends-the kind of friendship that blooms quietly in the spaces between moments, unnoticed until it's gone. Then life intervened, and what was familiar became distant. But some connections linger like salt in the air, impossible to wash away. And no matter how far they drift, the tide keeps bringing them back. Different worlds. Same gravity. A love that refuses to stay buried. #1 in KOOKS ｡ﾟ•┈୨♡୧┈• ｡ﾟ ♡ JJ x Female OC ♡ Slow burn ♡ Dual POV

She was the first person he trusted with his secret. His safe place. He was the first guy she let all the way in.

Ellie Routledge has always lived in the quiet, raised in Colorado by her mom while her twin brother, John B, grew up chasing the sun on the Outer Banks. Introverted, book loving, and gentle, Ellie never expected to return to the place she barely remembers, especially not after losing the one person who made her feel safe. After her mom's death, Ellie moves in with her father, Big John, and the brother she's grown apart from, carrying her grief silently and trying not to make it anyone else's burden. The only constant she brings with her is her ragdoll kitten, Zac, and a heart full of things she doesn't know how to say. JJ Maybank notices her before he means to. At first, she's just John B's quiet sister, but soon, JJ sees the cracks she hides and the sadness she carries. What begins as two strangers sharing the same summer slowly turns into something deeper, softer, and unexpected. Sometimes, the people who feel the most unfamiliar are the ones who end up knowing you best.
