charlotte ames came from money.
old money.
though, that money really never did too much for her. charlotte was born to pure elegance, yet raised until the age of nine by her opioid addicted mother. when everyone has left her behind, only her family's closest friends, the sinclair family, are left. between charlotte ames's golden hair, tall stature, and monumental trust fund, she fits perfectly into the lives of this coastal, cashmere-soft family who spend their summers on their private beechwood island.
in fact, she fits in even better with the "liars," cadence, mirren, johnny, and gat.
charlotte has spent her years, and especially summers, indulging in sinclair summers, parties, and even skirmish bickerings. she is one of the "american royalty" who live in this perfect, perfect world. well, perfect until you look closer.
there was an accident the summer of sixteen. exactly what, charlotte cannot seem to remember, as she does her best to drown herself in pills and flickerings of memories.
what she can remember: being desperately in love with johny sinclair; reckless, impossible, and as carved into her as the shoreline. their story has always felt written in salt air and champagne bubbles. but when the lies they've all been telling start to surface, charlotte must untangle the truth from trauma, memory from in-between the pills, and love from legacy.
when she returns to the island summer 17, charlotte finds herself in a haunting romance steeped in vintage linen, beach lilies, seashells, and the ache of trying to remember the fire she may have started.
charlotte will soon learn beautiful people do terrible things, and old money can't fix burns this deep.

Two Truths & One Lie (J.S.)
All Aubrey wanted was one last perfect summer-but with the Sinclairs, perfection always comes at a cost. ***** ***** ***** 𝑆𝓊𝓂𝓂𝑒𝓇 𝒮𝒾𝓍𝓉𝑒𝑒𝓃 𝒸𝒽𝒶𝓃𝑔𝑒𝒹 𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇𝓎𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔. Aubrey Scott was never a Sinclair, but every summer on Beechwood Island made her feel like she was. The lemon trees, the barefoot dinners, the scent of salt on Johnny Sinclair's hoodie - it was more than tradition. It was home. But this summer wasn't like the others. Cracks formed. Truths unraveled. And something in the air-like smoke-warned that nothing gold can stay. Because some summers leave marks you don't see until it's far too late. (We Were Liars, 2025)Complete

On Beechwood Island, it is always summer. The Sinclair family owns the sand, the houses, and the legacy, but Lorelei Bistre has only ever borrowed it. With her brown eyes, brown curls, and poetic heart, she's the outsider the Liars let in. The fifth, the quiet one. The girl who loved Johnny Sinclair when no one was supposed to know. Now it's Summer Sixteen. Lorelei returns to the island, her place at the dinner table secure but delicate. Mirren, her best friend, pulls her into late-night swims and wine-fueled secrets. Gat reads her poetry. Cadence confides in her. And Johnny, Johnny smiles that smile only she gets. Everything feels golden. Too golden. Because something simmers beneath the surface, family tension, inheritance wars, and a reckless plan born out of desperation. And then the fire happens. By Summer Seventeen, Cadence is back-but nothing is right. The island is quieter. The air is heavier. And the Liars, who laugh and drink and walk the beach with her, are keeping a devastating secret. Cadence can't stop asking questions. Lorelei won't give her answers. Because the truth is this: They are all gone. And Cadence is the only one left to remember them. ‼️ I DO NOT OWN THE CHARACTERS (except lorelei) OR ANYTHING TAKEN FROM THE BOOK/SHOW. ALL OF IT BELONGS TO E.

Dead End Summer *JJ Maybank*
JJ Maybank x FemOC Season 1- In Progress Blake Cruz grew up in the Outer Banks, not just knowing every street and dock, but building a life out of the people she found there - her people. JJ Maybank and John B Routledge were the first. She met them on her very first day of public school, when she was the quiet new girl with a pencil in hand and no real friends. They saw her, sat with her, and never left her side. Over time, they became inseparable - and JJ, especially, became something more, even if they never dared say it aloud. Pope Heyward joined next, roped in by Blake's chaotic charm and relentless energy. Then came Kiara, after a chance encounter on the beach that began with sea turtles and turned into a bond as fierce as it was unexpected. The five of them became the Pogues - loud, loyal, and untouchable. They weren't just friends. They were family. But Blake wasn't all jokes and bruises. After her dad crumbled under the weight of a failed business and her mom was left holding the pieces, Blake stepped up. She toughened up. She got angry. And sometimes, she didn't know how to stop. Her fuse was short, her record wasn't clean, and her loyalty was lethal. But no matter how reckless she got, the Pogues had her back - especially JJ, who was just as broken in all the same places. Now, at sixteen, things feel heavier. Big John is gone. The laughter's quieter. And Blake's running out of ways to outrun everything crashing down around her. This summer was supposed to be simple. But it never is in the Outer Banks. Not when secrets start surfacing. Not when Blake Cruz has to decide who she really is - and what she's willing to lose to find out.

I Know The End - Johnny Sinclair
"My cousin Johnny-- salt, swagger, and reckless abandon" Jonathan Sinclair is the perfect son, at least from the outside. He harbors deep secrets that could never get out without tarnishing his wealthy families reputation. Being the first male heir of the Sinclair empire gives him big expectations, and a weight on his shoulders. At least he has the Liars -- Mirren, Cady, Gat, and newly, Beckett. Beckett Finch is the son of Penny Sinclair's new husband, Grant Finch. It's only his first summer on Beechwood. He's the step brother of Cadence Sinclair, and the opposite of what a Sinclair should be. He is reckless, impulsive, and worst of all ignorant. Maybe thats why he gets along with Johnny so well. When two boys can't let their deepest secrets get out. Based on the series/novel We Were Liars by E. Lockhart I only own my original characters. Alternating POV - will stray from the storyline of the original show
Saltwater in Our Veins - Johnny Sinclair
On Beechwood Island, everything gleams. The sun on the water, the crisp white of the Sinclair houses, the perfect smiles of perfect families. I've known Johnny Sinclair my whole life - or at least, the version of him that summers here: charming, sharp-tongued, golden. The boy who lives for July Fourth bonfires, for cannonball splashes off the dock, for teasing me about my hair when it frizzes in the salt air. We are the children of old money. We are the products of privilege and tradition. We are beautiful liars, all of us. And yet, when the cracks start to show - in the family, in the friendships, in the island itself - Johnny's the only one who looks me in the eye and sees me for real. Maybe that's why I never saw the disaster coming.

the liar that wasn't
PSA: yes Johnny is the love interest for Cecilia, yes i'm aware he's a gay character but this book will not be mirroring the show/book in the exact way it was written. some things are changed for the sole purpose that this is a FANfiction. just keep that in mind before you hate, much love! Two summers ago, Cecilia Monroe Sutton vanished from Beechwood Island. No explanation. No goodbye. The Sinclairs never spoke of her again - not even the Liars, who once swore she was one of them. Now, the summer after everything burned, Cecilia returns. She walks back into a world still cracked with grief and secrets. She has memory gaps. Cadence and Mirren watch her like a threat. Gat won't look her in the eyes. And Johnny - Johnny remembers everything, especially the part where he let her go. But Cecilia didn't come back for closure. She came back because someone is lying. And the truth is colder than the water that surrounds Beechwood. What happened the summer she left? What really happened the summer they burned? And who decides who belongs - and who gets erased?

book 3 of 4 have you ever hated someone so badly you just wanted to shoot them dead? yeah, well, be careful what you fucking wish for. let's get one thing straight, when bianca prescott wrote up that hit list, she never intended on actually murdering anyone. sure, she wished it once or twice. okay, total lie, it was definitely more than that. so yeah, maybe she never wanted anyone to die that day on the boat but make no mistake, she is a killer. a murderer, no matter how beloved. there comes a time where no costume can conceal what you don't want to see. sooner or later, the clothes come off, the makeup washes away and the real you emerges. your secrets, your sins, your truths, your lies and bianca was concealing the worst of them all. the world may be a stage, but in the outer banks, the play doesn't matter. it's all in the execution. 𝗷𝗷 𝗺𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘅 𝗳𝗲𝗺!𝗼𝗰Complete
