Fort Bexwood was a small town that homed Kaia Banks and Rafe Conner. Everybody knew everybody, everybody knew everybody's business, and nobody had any secrets. 

Kaia Banks was a ray of sunshine. She was a free spirit that couldn't care less what people had to say about her. She always had a smile on her face that would eventually spread to others around her. She had a group of friends that loved her and a normal home life, for the most part. 

Rafe Conner was a rain cloud. He was closed off and bottled up his emotions towards everyone. He was angry all of the time and he couldn't be stopped. He had a friend or two but none he could call if he needed help. He was a walking storm cloud that flooded everyone's sunny day. 

Kaia and Rafe never got along despite her being best friends with his sister. Rafe knew all of her weak points and hit her where it hurt. Kaia knew when to shut her mouth and stand her ground. The two were terrible together and couldn't stand to be within six feet of each other. 

When Kaia uncovers a family secret that changes her life for the worse, Rafe is suddenly there beside her for it all. What happens when the two finally get the chance to know each other? Will the hatred still stand or will the feelings fissile out into something else?

august. - rafe cameron by rachxxct

Sophia Accardi. Her presence always lingers like a luminous glow you can't seem to get out of your eyes, no matter how many times you blink. Her energy radiating off of her like liquid gold, melting onto the people around her. What happens when Sophia's father, Alessandro Accardi and Rafe's father, Ward cameron come up with the perfect plan to unite their businesses but they don't think about the two people they're involving in their plan... the two enemies. Though, it's not all bad. Being bathed by sunlight together, spending stolen moments together and the salt air on their tongues leaving a lingering taste of each other they cant stop thinking about. But when things get complicated, the plan is compromised and their families have no idea. Rafe Cameron. Anything he touches is left sucked of life, shrivelled up like a rotting plant on a forgotten windowsill. It was never on purpose though, the happiness used to pour out of him like a waterfall after a heavy flood. His infatuation with Sophia was a constant thought replayed in his mind, like an itch you can't scratch in your brain. Though she reminded him too much of his mother who died when he was younger, the hurt and anger he felt toward her death reflected onto Sophia. It left Rafe and her in a vicious game of bickering and pent up frustration, but it had to be let out somehow. Right?

In Too Deep- Rafe Cameron by L0tus16

Outer Banks: a paradise for some, a battleground for others. AJ didn't come to the Outer Banks for the beaches or the easy life. She came to disappear-to outrun the ghosts of her past and build something, anything, on the ruins she left behind. But paradise has shadows, and she steps right into one of them: Barry. Barry doesn't ask questions. He gives AJ a job, a purpose, a way in. His drug operation is ruthless, but AJ knows how to survive in a world like his. What she doesn't know how to survive is Rafe Cameron. Dangerous, unpredictable, and infuriatingly magnetic, Barry's right-hand man is as much a threat to AJ as the world they're in. Their hatred crackles with fire, but fire has a way of consuming everything. The closer AJ gets to Rafe, the harder it becomes to untangle the desire from the danger. And as their connection deepens, so do the cracks in the life AJ has fought to rebuild-because secrets don't stay buried in the OBX, and AJ has plenty of them. When her past resurfaces, threatening everything and everyone she's come to care about, AJ has to make an impossible choice: trust the man who could ruin her, or risk losing it all. Love. Betrayal. Chaos. In the Outer Banks, paradise is just the beginning of the storm. WARNING ⚠️ CONTAINS STRONG WORDS VIOLENCE SENSITIVE TOPICS

Hide & Seek (With Benefits)| ONC 2025 by OutOfMyImagination

Faking her death seemed like a solid plan-until the wrong man came looking for her. Delilah Whitmore wasn't about to let her controlling fiance dictate her future. So she vanished, trading champagne and silk for flannel and firewood in the middle of nowhere. It was all going great... until a very broody, very attractive private investigator showed up at her doorstep. Declan Grayson doesn't lose his targets. Ever. But Delilah? She's not like anyone he's ever tracked before. She's stubborn, infuriating, and far too tempting for a man who's supposed to be dragging her back to the life she abandoned. Stuck together in a rainstorm, Declan is forced to question everything-his mission, his morals, and most of all, how much longer he can keep his hands off the woman who was supposed to be just another job. This story is written for The Open Novella Contest 2025 Prompts: 41. It's a canon event, after all. At that moment, she realized she had to end the toxic relationship for good. She disappeared from the country, leaving everything behind to start fresh. For a while, she had relied on him just to survive, but now she knew it was time to break free and reclaim her life. 44. In the middle of a storm, a stranger arrives at your cabin, and you offer them shelter. But the storm's forecast says you'll be stuck for much longer than expected. 134. "You did more for me in six days than he ever did in seven years."

JJ Maybank Endgame - He Fell First, She Fell Harder by obxstoriess_p4l

Y/N Routledge. Sixteen. John B's little sister. He's been the overprotective type ever since your dad disappeared months ago-setting rules you never agreed to, and watching your every move like you'd vanish too. It's been just the two of you for a while now... well, and JJ Maybank. Seventeen, reckless, full of trouble and charm. He's always around-more than you'd like to admit. And sure, you both get along, but it's always been just friendship. Mostly. Probably. You're a Pogue through and through. Scraped knuckles, stolen boats, and not following the rules is your normal. Sarah Cameron is tolerable now that she's dating your brother, and surprisingly, she's proven herself more than once. But Kooks like Rafe and Topper? Let's just say if looks could kill, they'd be buried six feet under the Chateau. This summer feels... different. Maybe it's the pressure. Maybe it's the secrets. Or maybe it's the fake relationship you never expected to agree to. Rules were made. Lines were drawn. He's not supposed to fall. You swore you wouldn't either. But sometimes hearts don't follow rules-especially in the Outer Banks. **This story can also be found on my TikTok account as well with many others!!** TikTok: @obxstoriess_p4l

WHEN SHE FALLS by cglipper

Declan Chase is about to start the life of his dreams, with a promising career in plastic surgery and a supermodel-with-two-Harvard-degrees fiancée. All that stands in the way is one last month of med school, and a secret that could ruin everything. Callahan Perrin is a young prodigy with a troubled past. Famous since childhood for her unique art, her gift is also her curse. She's got every reason to be happy. A new exhibit that's getting rave reviews. A starring role in her own wildly popular reality TV show. So what is she doing in Belmont Springs Psychiatric Hospital, days after an overdose that might have been intentional? When Dec is assigned to be Callie's med student, neither one of them wants to be there. She's looking to get out of Belmont as fast as possible. He's counting down the days to graduation and his wedding. So what if they share a slightly warped sense of humor, or get so wrapped up in conversation that hours feel like minutes? Forget chemistry. Romance is off limits. After all, who would be crazy enough to fall in love in a psych ward? **Content / Trigger Warning: this story contains scenes of drug use, including an overdose, as well as suicidal ideation (Chapters 4 and 31).

Adelina Hughes- a Kook with a Pogue heart. She sees the Outer Banks through a different lens, embracing those who feels like they don't belong. Her world is vibrant, filled with butterflies and the unwavering love of a father who supports her every dream. But one day, everything shatters. With no one to turn to, she's left with only one person who understands her pain- the one she despises most. Will this be the start of a new world for Addie? Or was betrayal inevitable all along? - He tenses, eyes flashing, but he doesn't fight back right away. Instead, he leans in slightly, lowering his voice just enough that only I can hear. "Easy, sweetheart," he murmurs. "At least let me buy you dinner before you try to kill me." I tighten my grip on his shirt and jerk him forward-not enough to actually hurt, just enough to keep up the illusion. "Shut up and make this convincing," I mutter. He grins, a devilish glint in his eye. "Oh, I plan to." - (forced proximity trope) (enemies to lovers trope) (best friend's brother trope) 😘 started writing: October 8 2024 ended writing: March 12 2025 *RATED MATURELY BECAUSE OF VIOLENCE* *COMPLETE* 🥇 rosecameron (03-10-25) 🥇 enemiestolovers (03-27-25) 🥇 cleoanderson (04-09-25) (05-22-25) (07-05-25) 🥇 cameron (05-01-25) (07-04-25) 🥇 wardcameron (06-14-25) 🥇 obx (07-20-25)
