We Were the Liars.
Gat, Mirren, Johnny... and Kaia.
Kaia had freckles, red hair, and the boldness of someone who owes nothing to anyone.
Johnny had a smile that could tear down any wall.
Together, they were a secret that shouldn't exist.
But reality doesn't always fit into the perfection of the Sinclairs.
And love, sometimes, is a flame that burns too close.
Cadence doesn't remember what happened that summer.
She only knows that something is missing.
And in the silences...
she still hears their names.

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.Complete

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?

On the outside, she was flawless. On the inside, she was unraveling. Every summer, she returned to Beechwood Island, the place she loved more than anything - the salt air, the grand houses, the endless ocean. To Vivienne, Beechwood was home, her only safe place. And it was there that she had Johnny Sinclair. He was laughter in the dark, rebellion in a smile, her one forbidden love. The Sinclairs were not the Whitmores - never as untouchable, never as powerful - and for that, she was told she could never have him. But Vivienne had never cared about rules. This summer, Beechwood will not be the paradise it once was. Secrets will rise with the tide. Love will blur into destruction. And the fire waiting beneath their perfect world will burn everything she thought she could keep. johnny sinclair x oc, we were liars cover by @pizzakinsComplete
