boyfriend/bestfriend JJ Maybank imagines/short stories

Maddie has everything-money, status, and a life planned out for her-but it all feels empty. JJ has almost nothing, yet he's free, real, and unapologetically himself. When their worlds collide, they clash at first, but quickly grow drawn to each other. As their connection deepens, they're forced to confront the gap between their lives-family expectations, pride, and the fear of not belonging. Falling for each other means risking everything they've ever known, and deciding whether love is worth stepping outside their worlds.

A girl who would willingly become fish food to be seen by JJ Maybank.

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

Mara Vance catalogs the belongings of the dead on the Outer Banks, preserving the lives that the island has forgotten. When she crosses paths with JJ Maybank, quiet days turn into shared discoveries, secrets, and a connection neither expected-but some stories are impossible to ignore. "Should've known you'd come find me anyway," Mara said softly. JJ's voice stayed low. "I always end up where you are." All characters belong to Outer Banks except for Mara Vance , which belongs to me .

Ryder Sinclair and JJ Maybank had only one thing in common - neither one of them had ever fallen in love before they met each other... In which, JJ Maybank takes on a simple delivery for Heyward's, expecting nothing more than his favorite aunt waiting on the other side of the door. Instead, he finds himself face to face with the one person he can't seem to forget. The new "kook", the same guy from the beach, the one who's been stuck in his head ever since the moment their eyes met. Outer Banks ─────── jj maybank x male!oc ───── ©labyriinth2026

The motel wasn't on the map. The doors don't always open. And the girl in room 17... she looks at them like she knows how this ends. [The characters return to Outer Banks, but I didn't just repeat the show's events. The series' events are amazing, but we already know what happens there. I wrote some great new events that you're going to love."]
