Some storms rage outside. Others live inside your chest.
The Outer Banks is paradise... if you're lucky enough to be rich.
On one side of the island, you've got the Kooks - the country club kids with money, yachts, and summer houses. On the other side, you've got the Pogues - the working-class kids trying to survive another hurricane season while chasing freedom, trouble, and anything that feels bigger than the Cut.
And then there's Blakely Thornton.
Topper Thornton's little sister. Certified shark nerd. Professional pain in the ass. The girl who punched JJ Maybank in the face at 10 years old because he told her megalodons were extinct.
Now she's seventeen, sunburnt half the time, obsessed with proving the ocean still hides monsters, and somehow stuck in the middle of every bad decision the Pogues make. She's been part of the group for years - even if the rest of the island can't understand why a Thornton would ever choose them over the Kooks.
But treasure hunts, hurricanes, secrets, and the Outer Banks have a way of ruining everything.
Especially when feelings get involved.
Especially when River Maybank starts looking at her like she's something worth protecting.
And especially when Blakely starts uncovering things that were never supposed to surfac

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.
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.

Mind Games | JJ Maybank
JJ Maybank x Kook!Reader (This story is written in second person with occasional third person references). Summary: If you knew moving to the Outer Banks would flip your life upside down you would've done everything in your power to avoid moving to the island. Your family had bought a new fancy house in Figure Eight, converting you to the Kook life. Whereas everyone on the Cut saw you as the new "princess," especially a certain blonde haired Pogue; but like they always say don't judge a book by its cover, there's always a hidden mystery to be uncovered. Warnings: Throughout this story parts may include: swearing, angst, slow burn, mentions of alcohol, a mention of drowning, mentions of drugs, mentions of slight abuse, fighting, mentions of blood, toxic behaviors, poor coping mechanisms, panic attack/emotional breakdowns, mental manipulation, substance abuse (cocaine), mentions of rehab and the process of it.
