゛to live for the hope of it all ⸝⸝.ᐟ⋆ Sirena Yarrow has always been a Pogue. In her eyes, anyway. Sunburnt skin, salt in her hair, and the kind of loyalty that runs deeper than the ocean surrounding the Outer Banks. Life on the Cut isn't easy, but Sirena has her people, late nights on the HMS Pogue, reckless plans, and the constant reminder that Pogues only have each other. But everything gets complicated when treasure rumors start circling the island and the divide between Pogues and Kooks grows even sharper. Because somehow, in the middle of all the chaos, Sirena finds herself tangled up with the one person she was never supposed to care about- Theo Cameron. Sarah's twin. A Kook. And the kind of boy who could ruin everything. As the hunt for long-lost treasure pulls everyone deeper into danger, Sirena is forced to choose between the life she's always known and the feelings she never meant to have. Out here, loyalty means everything... but secrets, betrayal, and the truth buried beneath the island might change the game for all of them.

After a year away at Kitty Hawk, Cassie Maybank returns to the Outerbanks with a determination to get her life back on track. To stay healthy, to make her own friends, to live a normal, steady life like every teenage girl should. But after hearing the news of the passing of one of her closest friends, and coming back to the island, she realizes her brother's letters severely underestimated how much had truly changed. A lot can happen in a year. Friends become strangers, brothers become liars. Some enemies become allies, some enemies become lovers. © Inslaytiable | June 22nd, 2023

"Smoking is bad, you know." The placid voice speaks up from the distant dark corner, nothing to see but a tall silhouette and an orange glow of a cigarette cherry. "It's the least of my problems," I murmur with my own between my lips, proceeding to feel the stagnant debris valley my throat when I suck delicately. He exhales a chuckle of cynical amusement, his footsteps getting every step clearer to my eardrums until I eventually sense body heat burning my back. "And why is that?" He whispers over my shoulder, hands inviting themselves to grip the railing in front of me so I become a prisoner between his inked arms. I swallow. "Because you'll be the one to kill me first." // Aven Brooks is hired to take pictures for the world-renown punk rock band known today as Duplicity; hoping the experience gets her into her most elite-dreamed university.
