Darling | JJ Maybank

A JJ Maybank Fanfiction|

In the Outer Banks, the Pogues live by one rule: nothing to lose, everything to gain. When Dove Dalles-artist, ex-competitive surfer, and JJ Maybank's longest-held secret-discovers an ancient letter buried in an abandoned house, the Pogues are thrust into a hunt for one of the most infamous treasures in history: Blackbeard's lost hoard.

The discovery unravels secrets long hidden in the depths of the island and reveals a world of cryptic maps, sunken ships, and dangerous rivals who will stop at nothing to claim the fortune for themselves. As the group pieces together the clues, they find themselves facing challenges that test their courage, their loyalty, and their very survival.

For Dove, the treasure represents more than adventure-it's a lifeline, a chance to break free from her fractured home and find the happiness she's always craved. But as the hunt unfolds, it forces her to confront long-hidden feelings for her best friend, JJ-whose reckless spirit masks feelings he's long buried. As the Pogues delve deeper into Blackbeard's shadowy legacy, they face rising tensions, life-threatening dangers, and truths that could either strengthen their unbreakable bond or tear them apart forever.

Somewhere beneath the tides lies a secret worth dying for-but JJ and Dove will have to decide how much they're willing to sacrifice to claim it.

I do not own Outerbanks, but this original story and Wren (Dove) Dalles, completely and utterly belongs to me.
