Araceli Morales built her life in the shadows-hacking, watching, protecting the Cody family from behind a screen. Control is her safety. Distance is her strength. Until Pope comes back. Fresh out of prison and more dangerous than ever, Pope brings chaos with him-unpredictable, intense, and impossible to ignore. Where others see a threat, Ari sees something different. Something familiar. Something broken. As tension builds and the family spirals deeper into danger, Ari finds herself caught between what she's always known- And what she's starting to feel. Because the closer Pope gets, the harder it becomes to keep her walls up. And when everything starts to fall apart... He might be the one thing she can't protect herself from.

(OC X Andrew 'Pope' Cody) Ana has known Baz since she was 15, they have been through thick and thin together and now she's a part of the Cody family. When J Cody shows up after the passing of his mother and the man she's been in love with since the moment she was introduced to the family comes home from jail, Ana's life goes from smooth sailing to chaotic. Will the man she's loved since being children finally recognise her and turn his attention away from his brother's girl? Will she be able to keep the Cody family together when they face their toughest times?

Lowen Clarke doesn't exist anymore. At least, that's what she needs everyone to believe. Running from a life she barely escaped, she lands in Oceanside, California with nothing but a stolen secret. The last thing she needs is to get attached. The last person she should want is Andrew Cody. But the Codys have a way of pulling you in, and dirty laundry often has a way of finding the light.

She wasn't born a Cody, but she might as well have been. After her mother died, Janine 'Smurf' Cody took her in and raised her alongside the boys in the Cody house. Growing up surrounded by crime, loyalty, and chaos meant learning the family rules early: trust the Codys, ask no questions, and never betray the family. But as the years pass, the quiet bond she's always shared with Pope begins to change-and in a family like theirs, feelings can be just as dangerous as the jobs they pull.

After walking away from the only life he's ever known, Andrew "Pope" Cody has built something fragile and rare: peace. On a quiet stretch of coast, he's found love, fatherhood, and a kind of redemption he never thought possible. But when ghosts from Oceanside arrive at his door with news that changes everything, Andrew must face the family he left behind-and fight to keep his new one untouched by the past. Set against the rhythm of the tide, The Shoreline Years is a story of love, forgiveness, and the long road to becoming the man he was meant to be.

Baz's little sister is in love with Pope, Pope is in love with someone who he should see as blood. He thanks whoever or whatever thats listening that they aren't. Everyone knows, especially when he gets out of prison and finds out a secret everyone's been hiding from him. i suck at descriptions, honestly I do😂 if you want to read it, please do so but I ask: no silent readers, it really doesn't help with a creative head space. if you do read, you know what Animal Kingdom is basically a trigger warning of its own but I'll give some .
