When Amy Routledge returns to the shores of the Outer Banks after a year's absence, the familiar scent of salt in the air beckons her home. But as she reunites with the Pogues, old friends and unresolved tensions greet her, none more chilling than the cold shoulder of JJ Maybank. Having departed without a word of farewell, Amy finds herself navigating a sea of emotions as she seeks to mend fractured relationships and reconcile her past with her newfound perspective.

For in the heart of the Outer Banks, true connections endure beyond time and tumult-a tale of coming home to discover that which was never truly lost. ***I do not own any rights to the characters created for Outer Banks, no copyright is intended by me, story is just for fun, not for profit, and simply fanfic**Complete

Two years away. One summer to find out what really matters. And a storm that will change everything. Rowan Routledge thought she'd left the Outer Banks behind, boarding school, scholarship, new life. But when she comes home for the summer before junior year, the island hasn't changed... and neither have the Pogues. Except now, she's not just John B's twin sister. She's grown into her own. Stronger. Smarter. A little bolder. Maybe even brave enough to face the crush she never admitted, the secrets the island hides, and the storm, literal and otherwise, that's about to hit. With her best friend Kiara by her side, tension with former friend Sarah bubbling beneath the surface, and JJ Maybank throwing more glances than she knows what to do with, Ro is pulled back into the chaos of her old life. When the Pogues discover a sunken Grady White and a mysterious motel key, the summer takes a dark turn. What starts as an adventure quickly becomes a hunt, for truth, treasure, and who they can really trust. Because in the Outer Banks, nothing stays buried forever. #OuterBanksFanficComplete
Sea Salt & Smoke - JJ Maybank
In Figure Eight, power comes with rules. And the Blakes never break them. Halston Blake was raised on loyalty and legacy. She speaks when it's safe, smiles when it's expected, and never - ever - crosses to the other side of the island. The Blakes were raised to hate all Pogues. Especially boys like JJ Maybank - impulsive, unrefined, dangerous. But JJ doesn't care who she is. Doesn't care what her last name means. And that's what makes him so dangerous. To her. To her family. To everything she was raised to protect. Because once you touch fire, you don't walk away unburned. Follows the events of Outer Banks Seasons 1-4 with a sharper queen, a slower fall, and a few twists.
Wrong Kind of Right - Rafe Cameron
Rafe Cameron was the last person she should have fallen for -her best friend's brother, a Kook with too many demons to count.

She was the only one who could quiet the storm in his head, the only thing that made him feel something real. She should have walked away. He should have let her go. Instead, they became each other's favorite sin -an addiction neither of them could escape. 𝓗𝓮 𝓱𝓾𝓻𝓽 𝓶𝓮 𝓫𝓾𝓽 𝓲𝓽 𝓯𝓮𝓵𝓽 𝓵𝓲𝓴𝓮 𝓽𝓻𝓾𝓮 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮~Complete
