Could You Imagine That?
JJ Maybank x fem!reader
Summery: You failed. The gold, the cross, the fame, the fortune. But really, who cared? Not when you had the best gift of all. Inspired by the song: Forever by Noah Kahan
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We listen to Pope and Kiara argue about who knows how to build a fire better, throwing logs into a heap by a pile of rocks and lining stones in a circle in the sand. John B and Cleo make beds for everyone to sleep on and Sarah works on some sort of spear for us. Yet, JJ and I haven’t even given a second thought of how long we just might be here for.
Maybe a few more hours, a couple days or years. In the end, did it really matter? We’d been just fine so far and we’d swear the feeling of freedom was worth it no matter how starved we became or how cold the nights were. We’d screamed about Poguelandia hundreds or times already, calling out the name of this great island and hoisting the flag we’d painted with rocks and the mud packed beneath them. Our hands pruning from the salt water and our shorts left on the edge of the shore line while we ran around in our underwear, splashing around like little kids and laughing like old friends should.
“We’re broke!” We laughed, finding the fact that we failed more funny than anything. Because had we really failed if we got a greater gift than what being filthy rich could give us?
“But real rich in our heads!” JJ would scream back, chasing me down along the edge of the ocean. And when the waves slowed my strides he lifted me from my waist with his tanned arms, not minding how our wet bodies stuck together like glue and our clothes would surely stink like ocean for as long as we’d be here.
“Won’t be alone for the rest of our lives!” I laughed in his hold, and his grip restricted my lungs but I would take the ache that came with it over any other feeling in the world. Because even after he loosens his grip, he never really lets me go and I am reminded of how he’s always within arms reach. Ready to make me smile, make me laugh. And it’s worth more than anything money could buy.
“Can you guys help us?” Kiara calls out desperately, but even she can’t hide the smile on her face, how much she loves the idea of it just being her and the Pogues all together and safe for just a small moment in the grand timeline of adventure ahead. No parents, no threats, no blood or tears. Just the sun and sand beneath our feet. A good cooked fish roasting over the fire and beds woven with leaves under our heads.
“Come in the waters just fine!” JJ splashes, catching a glare from Pope as the salt water briefly tames the fire they just started. And when Kiara catches his line of vision, we don’t have to look back to know their broken laughter is because their stripping to join us in the sea. Ready to splash around carelessly like children do, like we do.
“Can you imagine being here, like this forever? No more window shopping or late rent!” I laugh, bearing all my teeth in my smile when Kiara wraps her arms over my shoulders and places a sloppy kiss to my cheek.
“Won’t be alone for the rest of our lives!” She repeats my words back to me, eyes shining with the glow of the sunset that casts a warm hue over her sunburnt cheeks.
“Poguelandia forever, baby!” JJ’s arms pull Kiara away from me, and like glue, I’m stuck to him with nothing more to offer than the sweetest smile and the world shining in my eyes. I feel more alive than ever and theres not an ounce of gold that could replace it.
“Oh my god!” Cleo laughs at the scene in front of her, dry wood under her arm and a soft blush in her cheek from the sun. We’re all drenched in salt or sweat but we can’t help but feel absolutely okay with it.
You could fly over head at that very moment, on the search for miserable teens in need of help and you wouldn’t even look twice. The way everyone laughed like brothers and sisters and cherished what the world gave them, you’d think we were on some vacation. Like we hadn’t washed up here by accident.
Broken bones and aching muscles worth every moment that led us to this island and this life.
Looking back at JJ, I see the stars in his eyes and the world under his feet. It’s all we’ve ever wanted. A simple life by the ocean with all the people we love. So, we might be broke, we might be hungry and by god we might smell but by god are we richer than most.
“Poguelandia forever.” JJ whispers only for my ears to hear, forehead pressing against mine and his eyes observing the crinkles by my eyes. His thumbs lift from my hips to rub against my cheeks. Then he kisses me, kisses me in a way I hadn’t felt since before death looked at us in the eyes and grief was all we knew. Like we both knew finally that it would all work out and we would be okay.
When we pull away, we share the same hazy look we had plastered on our cheeks before and his hands plant themselves firmly on my hips once again. Squeezing the skin between his fingers playfully and drowning out the world around us.
“Could you imagine that.”

A little bit about me- I'm Malika,She/her,I like to write and make gifs. I am just a young OBX girl who loves Teen Wolf among other things. I am always open to have a convo but if ur male then DNI cos online safety ppl, but no seriously just DNI. Here are all my OBX stories, I hope y'all enjoy them If the title has a 💗 next to it then that means it is completed. Home is You: WRITTEN BY ME AND MY BESTIE @lis4ux "We can't leave him alone," Kiara says, clear worry in her voice. "What?" Pope asks, confused at the topic of conversation. "JJ," she clarifies. "He can't be alone." "Why?" Kiara scoffs. "Because he's in total self-destruction mode," she explains, like that wasn't already obvious
Pogues for Life💗:
Because JJ's gonna be okay and that means John B will be fine too.They don't know yet about the new set of obstacles and challenges that await them, the new enemies the new gold.For now, they are just two boys, holding each other, watching a movie, being Pogues for life.
The Lost Tides Of Kitty Hawk:
What if the roles were reversed? What if instead of kidnapping Kiara, JJ was taken away What will the Pogues do and will Kiara do what JJ did for her?
Warmth in every hug💗:
Each time a Pogue hugged JJ and 1 time they gave him a group hug(requested)
I can't lose you💗:
"How'd you like havin' a gun pulled on you?" JJ said, jabbing his finger on John B's chest. "He had it right here on you, bro."John B gently wraps his fingers around JJ's wrist and says, "Relax."And that's the final straw because the next thing he knows,JJ is crumbling into John B, crying his heart out.
Hold me in your arms💗:
"I can’t lose him, Kie” Kiara looks up at John B and gives a small empathetic smile. “You won’t, no, we won’t”
I wasn't hurt that badly💗:
about JJ at the HOSPITAL
We can't leave JB💗:
Basically the scene from s3 e2 when Pope and Kiara argue with JJ about leaving John B but more detailed
Don't Leave, Just Don't leave me💗:
“Don’t you wanna eat Jajge?"Pope starts as he looks at the Maybank boy.JJ looks defeated,like all the fight has left him and the usual energy that comes with him is not in sight."not hungry”
I think… I love you, so don't leave me💗:
“Go to the chateau"Sarah says- it’s only now Pope realises that she’s practically taken the role of leadership in the last 30 minutes."But JJ needs a hospital not a-”Sarah cuts Topper off,“Chateau now”The drive there is silent apart from Kiara’s sobs.
If only you'd know💗:
He could see Pope sitting alone on the rocks near the shore.John B felt a bit guilty, he was Pope's friend too.But Pope had hurt JJ. His JJ.
Lost in My Past💗:
Not real not real not real-JJ gasps for air as he tugs on his hair-His dad's angry shouts merge with the gunshots.
Gone(But Not Forever):
Starts from s1 ep10 my take on things Some chapters involve Panic attacks, mentions of child abuse John b and Sarah are gone Not dead. Gone A big difference Because they can't be dead they just can't
i may have lost my mind without you💗:
basically i loved pioneer7's fic and i wanted to write a chapter about how the others take care of jj whilst kie was also in the hospital
Header made by an ex-mutual of mine as a gift for me when we were friends- Can't tag her cos she blocked me

You Are In Love
Tumblr media
A/N Hello this is my first writing that I posted so I would love constructive criticism. I hope you enjoy it though!! This doesn't follow the plot exactly of the OBX but there are some season 3 spoilers! I also did not have time to proof read so let me know any spelling errors. Thank You!!
One look, dark room
Meant just for you
People always said you and JJ were speaking to each other without words. There were times that they weren't needed like when you are uncomfortable with a Toulon at the boneyard or he comes crawling in your window after a fight with his father. No words were exchanged but the look was enough. You would both sink into each other and just know.
Time moved too fast
You play it back
Every minute spent with JJ was too fast. One minute you would be on the beach sunrise really to surf and the next it was night at the Chateau with the Pogues. You played the memories over and over until they were worn out. You didn't realize how often your life with the Pogues were centered around JJ.
Buttons on a coat
Light-hearted joke
The first time he gave you his coat was because you were freezing at a party. JJ made the joke that if he gave it to you, you would never take it off and he would never want you to take it off. It would fit you too well. He finished up the zipper and the joke resonated deep within you both. You never did end up giving the coat back.
No proof, not much
But you saw enough
That was the first second you saw what everyone else did. The lingering look you both shared in that moment was enough to make you think that maybe you two were enough for each other but it wasn't enough for you to vocalize it to JJ.
Small talk, he drives
Coffee at midnight
JJ was notorious for not having money but whenever he did he almost always spent it on you (and weed), no matter what. Driving to desolate locations on his bike. Buying you 7$ coffees, all while bitching it is cheaper to make it at home. You two always talked about your fears after the drives and somehow JJ made you forget every single one.
The light reflects
The Chain on your neck
The first gift you got JJ was when you were 14, it was a silver plated chain with his initials on it. You told him that you wanted to put your initials on it but you didn't own him. Whether he was surfing, riding, treasure hunting or getting hammered, he had it on. When John B finally asked why he never took it off, even when he showered, JJ simply said "That way she never leaves me"
He says "Look up"
And your shoulders brush
You lived for these moments when it was just you and JJ. When the lightest of touches came to you. He doesn't realize you are waiting for them. They are not only cause an inferno to burn with you but they also cause every thought and worry turn into a constant thrum of "JJ Maybank." To you stargazing means peace of mind. To JJ it means he can stare at you without getting caught.
No proof, one touch
But you felt enough
You never felt perfect in the presence of anyone but when you met the whirlwind, chaotic, and maybe at sometimes scatterbrained JJ Maybanks you knew he made you feel enough.
You can hear it in the silence, silence, you
You can feel it on the way home, way home, you
You can see it with the lights out, lights
You are in love, true love
You are in love
Morning, his place
Burnt toast, Sunday
JJ considered the Chateau his home until Luke hightailed it out of the OBX and then all of a sudden you were at his childhood home four nights a week. The mornings were his favorites. He rolled over or looked down depending on how much you two intertwined in your sleep (which he always waited until you were asleep then pulled you to him but he always said you were the one who moved closer) and then he would find the strength to get out of bed and try to make you breakfast. It always ended with something getting burnt, usually the toast but sometimes other things.
You keep his shirt
He keeps his word
JJ would watch as you laughed and try to clean up his mess. His shirt over your body. John B and Pope would make fun of him for the rest of his life if they saw the gentle look in his eyes. He promised to himself and you that he would never let anything hurt you so after the bacon grease started splattering you he jumped up, screaming "BACK you devilish bacon lard. you shall not hurt the princess rogue" as he swings you behind him and holds the spatula as a sword.
And for once, you let go
Of your fears and your ghosts
JJ knows. He sees the distant look in your eyes when he gets close. He know the thoughts in your head. He has the same ones about worth and values. JJ has known you since the 4th grade and SEES you. He knows you itch your palm when you are nervous and when you are consumed with the thoughts in your head, your hand finds his rings and starts spinning it around and around.
One step, not much
But it said enough
JJ hates dancing but at the boneyard with you beckoning him with your fingers and lip syncing a trash song he couldn't help but start walking towards you. He is standing at a reasonable distance and then takes a chance. Takes a step closer. You stop singing. You stop breathing. He knows this is the make it or break it moment. JJ stops the "You fucked up" thought from entering. And waits. Your eyes light up and the radiance you emit is blinding. You start dancing and singing again but only after wrapping your arms around his neck and placing a kiss on his cheek.
You kiss on sidewalks
You kiss for the first time that night as he is taking you into his house. Nothing beats this and yet everything else has been building up to this moment. Maybe his whole life has been waiting for this.
You fight and talk
JJ is crying. Fighting is something he hates but fighting with you is worse. You see his point of view more than anyone else so maybe that is why it hurt so much more when you told him he was being irrational. Before he knew it he was yelling and you looked scared. He did grab your hand and he did apologize but you looked scared. He didn't mean to yell. JJ begged to talk and you were pleased to see him come back from his rage. You sat him down and talked for an hour about his reasoning and somehow you met in the middle. JJ was crying because he never knew it could be this way.
One night he wakes
Strange look on his face
You are used to JJ waking up in the middle of the night whether it is from you moving too much, getting too hot, or the least favorite of your reasons, a nightmare. This one was strange. He looked like he hadn't slept at all but looked so energized that anyone would think he slept for five years. You finally ask "JJ, you good?"
Pauses, then says
You're my best friend
There is a reason that JJ didn't know life could be like this. There is a reason he didn't know you could talk issues out, or wake up and feel happy, or even look over at someone in the car who has no makeup on, covered in dirt and sweat, with the wind blowing in her hair and think she is ethereal.
And you knew what it was
He is in love
JJ didn't know it could be like this cause he was never in love. Or maybe he was this whole time and just din't have the name of the feeling he felt for you
You can hear it in the silence, silence, you
You can feel it on the way home, way home, you
You can see it when the lights out, lights out
You are in love, true love
And so it goes
You two are dancing in a snow globe, 'round and 'round
When you and JJ finally were able to go on a trip (thanks to good old Eldorado) he took you to do something he knew you always wanted to. He took you to a cabin in the middle of nowhere, alll while complaining about the drive. He bought warm clothes cause he would be damned if you got sick and when it started snowing outside of the cabin he took you out and danced until your feet were sore and both your hands and nose were numb with the cold.
And he keeps the picture of you in his office downtown
Once the surf shop was up and running the first thing JJ did was put a picture of you and him holding boards on OBX beach. To tourists this looked like good marketing. To all the other the Pogues they knew no matter where JJ was, whether it was at work or home, HE had to keep you in his eyesights.
And you understand now why they lost their minds and fought the wars
And why I've spent my who life tryin' to put it into words
With his first paycheck from the surf shop he got you a gift. A silver plated necklace with your name on it. You opened it and took it out with a soft smile on your face. "You got me a matching one." JJ reached around and took his off and took yours out of your hands. He then proceeded to put the necklace with your name on and reached around your neck to put the necklace with his name on your neck. You were staring at him startled because the thought of JJ making an official claim to someone still rattled your brain.
"You know I never got why people said they lost their minds to love, but I get it. I think I lose mine everyday when I see how perfect you are when you sleep, or make breakfast, or read. I think I lose it every time I walk out the door or you walk out it. There is not a single part of me that hasn't been crazy before. But you. You make me insane. You are the one thing I got right you know? I don't need anything else. Cause you own me and I own some piece of you. And I wouldn't change it for all the buried treasure in the world."
Cause you can hear it in the silence
You can feel it on the way home
You can see it with the lights out
You are in love, true love
You are in love

summary ; a cat follows you and jj home from the store so you and the pogues adopt it
pairing ; jjmaybank x fem!reader
notes ; fluff + certified cat lover jj
a/n ; as a cat lover & owner, i am a strong believer in the “you don’t choose the cat, the cat chooses you” saying. so here’s my take on that 🎀
ALSO SOOOOO SO SO SORRY FOR BEING LIKE DEAD LOL. school is drowning me right now and i was sick last week 🥲. from now on i’m going to try and be more consistent, hopefully i’ll get a schedule for this but yeah. also this is a fixed up draft, so the first half of it is super old.
Tumblr media
you walked out of the store with a box of pizza in your hands, your boyfriend following behind you, shoving his wallet into his pocket.
“do i seriously have to walk home holding this shit like a waitress? y’know i quit that job a while ago,” you rolled your eyes at your boyfriend who insisted on not getting a bag because they were charging for it.
“i mean, you don’t have to hold it like that..”
“how else am i gonna to hold it? on my head?” you sassed, looking both ways before crossing the street.
“no, just use the two hands the gods gave you” he grabbed the box from you. he felt like there was someone behind you guys, but from the corners of his eyes there was nothing in sight.
once you got onto the side walk he turned his head and saw nothing. well, besides the white colored cat that leaped onto the cement.
you guys continued to walk in a comfortable silence back to the chateau, where your friends were waiting for the large box of half cheese half meat lovers pizza. jj still suffered from the paranoia.
you pulled out your phone and started texting kie, telling her you’d be there in a bit. you turned your head at a loud, familiar groan and gave a confused look. ‘the fuck..’
“baby i feel like there’s something following us, but there’s literally nothing!” he whined. your eyes glanced behind him and saw nothing.
“it’s fine, j. i mean, we’re almost home anyways,” you shrugged his paranoia off and continued walking.
jj frowned and gave one last look behind him. that cat was still there. was it following him? maybe it was the food that he held in his hand that attracted it.
he attempted to shoo the cat away but it kept walking towards him so he sped walked to catch up to you. “i think the cats following us,” he muttered.
“cat? what cat?” you looked around and spotted the white furred cat he was talking about. you let out an ‘awh’ and crouched down to the cats level.
“hi baby,” you held your hand out so the cat would come and sniff it.
“baby? i thought i was your baby!” jj frowned at the thought of a cat of all things replacing him. he watched as the cat approached you and rubbed its nose on your finger.
it started to rub its full body against your leg as you made kissy noises at it. he heard soft purring coming from the cat below him and lifted a brow. god he just wanted to go home and eat this pizza.
“hi precious, where are your owners?” you asked as if the cat would answer in full sentences. you scratched below it’s chin and saw no collar.
“it’s probably a stray” jj said. most likely. no collar and it looked famished. all skinny and it continued to meow whenever jj spoke. it definitely knew that there was food inside the box, or, it didn’t like him
you hummed in response and guilt flooded you. you couldn’t just leave the cat, it looked famished. “can we keep it?”
jj shrugged and bent down next to you “how hard could taking care of a cat be?” the cat moved towards jj and nudged the box of pizza that was in his hold.
he opened the box and placed a slice of meat covered pizza in front of the cat. ‘meat can’t be bad for it… right?’ he thought. the cat nibbled on the warm pizza and you watched it in complete awe.
“so can we keep it?” you turned to your boyfriend with jutted lips and pitiful eyes. how could he say no?
the only thing that stopped him from saying yes was the fact that maybe the cat already had an owner. a bad one? maybe, but still an owner nonetheless. the cat hadn’t been fed in what seemed like days, and it’s white fur faded into a dirt like brown at the bottom. maybe it had an owner and maybe it needed saving from them. like him.
he stared at the cat as it finished the crust of the pizza. who would it hurt? “if it follows us the rest of the way, why not,”
you smiled big and hugged him. you always wanted a pet to keep you company. he stood up and hugged you back, struggling to keep the pizza from falling. when you pulled back, the cat was admiring you guys. jj looked down at his phone and notified you that the pogues were complaining at how slow you guys were being.
you motioned for the cat to follow you and it did. past the empty streets and softly swaying trees, it’s paws tapped the concrete of the sidewalk back to the chateau. every 2 minutes you’d turn your head to make sure it was still following.
jj suggested you pick it up, but if it didn’t want to come home you wouldn’t force it to.
you stopped before crossing the street and the cat rubbed itself between your legs. you looked down and it’s big blue blue eyes stared at you. they looked kind of like the eyes who belonged to the blonde who stood left of you.
funny thing; when it came to sidewalks, jj always stood closest to the road. he claimed that it was ‘safer’, how? no idea. but as long as it made him feel better, you wouldn’t resist it.
walking up to the front door of the chateau, the cat still stood behind you guys. you unlocked the door and heard cheering come from the kitchen.
“about damn time!” yelled cleo, standing up and making her way to jj to grab the box. you grinned and walked further into the house, jj (and the cat) following behind you.
john b stood and grabbed paper plates as pope caught a glance at something behind you.
“why is there a cat behind you guys?”
“oh! it followed us, it’s a stray. can we keep it?” you totally forgot about the cat for a minute, hunger filling your thoughts.
pope shrugged and gave a look to kiara. she just stood and smiled at the cat, not wanting to make a move incase it scratched her.
john b said something incoherent, pizza in his mouth.
“is that a yes?” jj asked with high hopes and john b gave a thumbs up. he smiled and slipped his arm around your waist.
the cat walked around the kitchen of the chateau, taking in its surroundings and watching the pogues cure their hunger. you took a slice of pizza into your mouth and chewed on it.
jj left you to take a seat on the couch with his pizza and the cat jumped next to him, placing itself on his lap.
“babe did we ever check the.. y’know..” he asked, trying to see if he could get a glimpse of its genitals.
you shook your head as kiara came behind you. “it won’t bite, right?” she carefully picked up the cat and checked it’s lower area.
“it’s a girl,” she put it back onto jj’s lap and he began to stroke her fur. kie did the same, already in love with the cat.
moments later, quiet conversation filled the living room the pogues were in. smell of pizza and beer roamed the air and your new pet was snuggled into popes side. your head laid in cleo’s lap, legs atop of kie’s thighs as your attention was brought to jj.
“can i have sock?” he asked with his arms out.
“sock?”
“yeah, the cat, duh.”
pope stared at him like he was crazy. “sock? what kind of name is sock?” he asked in disbelief. you didn’t even come together as a group to decide.
“i mean, she’s dirty on the bottom… like a sock.” jj defended.
“sock it is,” john b shrugged. you rolled your eyes, not in the mood to argue. jj picked up ‘sock’ and kissed her nose like she had him in a trance. so beyond this point in time, you’d have to take care of a live being. but how hard could it be?
everyone was pleased with the presence of your new cat. maybe it wasn’t wearing crocs while smoking a joint, but it seemed like it was meant to be.
Tumblr media
hi guys… long time no see 😞
so yeah, sorry this seems like it was made with no effort but i needed something out. i’ll make it up to y’all i promise, i have baking with jj and shopping with the girls coming up so i look forward to being able to post that for you guys.

Step Aside: 2
Tumblr media
Pairing: Rafe Cameron x Kook!Fem!Reader
Warnings: this is pretty long, does not follow OBX3 plot, arguing, slight trauma/ptsd?, not much here!
A/N: this is the house used in this fic…
You can read part 1 here!

2 months ago
“Are you done packing?” My dad asked from the bottom of the stairs, his voice echoing throughout our now empty house that I spent my whole childhood in.
“Yeah! Taping up the last box!” I yelled down from my room that no longer had posters and the ugly out-of-style paint.
I carefully dragged the box to the stairs, letting it roll down to the bottom where my dad carried it into the rented Uhaul. 
This was it. This was the last time I would ever live here. I’ve said my goodbyes to all my friends, the workers at my favorite cafe, the local florist that I always buy from. 
A clean slate. At least that’s what my parents said when they told me that we were moving to the house of my great-great-great grandfather in North Carolina. 
I was lucky enough that moving didn’t disturb my life as much. I didn't have to transfer colleges, due to my parents teaching me what is needed to keep up our family business when the time comes. All my friends go to university out of state so we were already used to saying goodbye after every break. 
I was taught not to get attached to materialistic things, the house being one of them. I was told that I should just be grateful and blessed that we had a roof over our heads and that we are fortunate enough to not have to worry about financial stability. 
I stepped out of the house, closing and locking the door behind me. My eyes scan over all of the little memories that have been covered up by a new layer of paint to give it a fresh look for the new owners. 
My relaxed sad state was ended by the honks of my dad in the Uhaul, telling me to jump into the family car that my mom was using to follow behind my dad to our new estate.
The drive was long with many bathroom breaks and sleeps at truck stops. I’ve been keeping up with the news in the area we are going to be living in. I guess a lot of teens create lots of trouble there, a church set on fire, lots of fights, and more.
The roadtrip came to an end when we pulled up to the historical house of The Outerbanks. It was huge, way larger than our old house. This house screamed Old Money, private driveway, private beach, it was money.
I’ve done my fair share of research on our family history here in the Outerbanks. My stomach turned at the disgusting history, and also at the sight of the house that held so many bad memories for other families. 
“You can pick out your room” My mom tiredly said as she put the car in park.
I nodded and stepped out of the car with a stretch to loosen up my muscles. I walked into the house with wide eyes and uncomfortableness. I definitely needed to cleanse this house with incense or call a priest over. 
I walked up the many stairs of the three floor house. I learned that it was a nine bedroom house and that it has ten bathrooms. Who needs that many bathrooms?
I settled for the suite bedroom on the top floor with the wrap around balcony, but across the house from my parents. My new bedroom had many windows, it was huge and had a view of the pool and the beach from the balcony.
knock knock.
I turned to the door of my room, seeing my mom leaning on the frame.
“We have dinner with an old friend of ours and their family, your dad has some of your boxes by the door.” she said before leaving to get herself ready in their room.
After a couple hours of trying to get my heavy boxes up three floors and getting ready, I was finally done. I was told to dress nice for this occasion since it was at a nice restaurant, so I just had to breakout the basic neutral dress that goes with anything.
I hopped into the family car with my parents and we were off to the restaurant. 
“So when is my ca-”
“Your car is arriving in a couple of days and the rest of your furniture in arriving tomorrow so you’ll be sleeping on an air mattress.” my dad listed out as he drove in the sunset sky.
We pulled up the restaurant and met my parents old friends and their son.
“And this is our son Kelce.” his dad gripped him by his shoulders, holding him in front with a smile.
“Y/N.” I shook the boys had before we all sat down in our seats.
That's where it began. Kelce was the only friend at the time so his friends took me in. I partied at the Mase with Topper and their girl friends. 
Topper and Kelce quickly told me the difference between Kooks and Pogues, and how to stay away from the Cut unless I need some weed or coke. 
When they found out I was the descendant of the founder of OBX, the news spread like fire. Everyone started inviting my family to dinners to network, their kids invited me to parties. 
When I threw the first party at my house everyone was in shock by the size. They saw our cars in the garage, the multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, the massive fridge, and very aged wine. That’s when I was hailed the “Kook Queen”. 
I quickly found out that one of the teens missing from Kildare was Toppers ex and the rest were Pogues. This town never amazed me with their secrets and news.

Present time
“Rafe Cameron huh?” I chuckled as I leaned into the bar.
Sofia playfully rolled her eyes at me. “It’s just a little play thing.” she whispered out as she shook another persons drink.
“Well I have a meeting with your little play thing and he is late.” I shook my head as I looked down at my watch.
“He’s a busy man.” she defended him.
“And there’s your busy play thing. Thank you Sof.” I sent her a smile as I placed down a 50 bill for just one drink.
Rafe walked towards me, a smile on his face as he saw Sofia working behind the bar. 
“Sofia, his drink is on my tab.” I told her before she put the bill into the till.
“Y/N.” he shook my hand firmly. “You don't have to.”
“It’s just business.” I nodded as Sofia placed Rafe's usual on the counter. “Shall we?”
He nodded and I led him to a secluded area of the outdoor seating. We both sat down away from the loud crowds.
“I got the word that the Cross of Santo Domingo is arriving tonight.” I spoke out as I crossed my legs and sat up straight.
His body tensed. “Where’d you get that information?” 
“Lets just say I do a lot of networking.” I smiled into my chilled glass.
“Okay okay. What is it you want?” he leaned into the table, sweat beading on his forehead.
“That is top secret. What we can discuss is price. I know your dad said t-”
“SH-” he jumped up out of his seat to cover my mouth with his palm. Everyones eyes were on us.
My hand went to his, pulling it off of my mouth. “It’s all good everyone, Rafe here just didn't like the joke I was saying.” I smiled to everyone and waved it off as they all went back to their own conversations. 
Rafe sat there with his leg bouncing and his hand rubbing the back of his neck. 
“I can see you’re not up for this conversation yet. How about we talk about it tonight?” I stood up and fixed my outfit. 
“Tonight?” he stood up in front of me, his body towering.
“You can have your boys bring it to my house at 9:30, party starts at 10. Then we can discuss in private.” I patted his shoulder and waved to Sofia in the distance.
-
It wasn't hard getting the house ready for the party. My parents had rules set and everyone followed those rules.
Rule 1: Everyone stays by the pool or beach unless they have to use the bathroom
Rule 2: No wet, sandy, or muddy shoes in the house
Rule 3: No sex in the house (go further down the beach for that)
That was it. My parents were always having dinners with other parents, traveling for meetings, et cetera et cetera.
It was 9:30 and the planners just finished setting out all the booze and other fun stuff out on patio. I had the music blasting already while some of my other friends were already here to make sure things stay safe while I have my meeting.
The doorbell rang and I immediately went to open it. Barry and Rafe had a large crate on a dolly, you can tell how it was just the two of them because of their sweat and red faces.
I opened up the door wider and showed them to the office on the first floor. They set down the crate on the floor, about to open up the wood.
“Let’s not do that now.” I stopped them by getting hold of the crowbars.
They both looked at me confused and wondering why I didn't want to talk business.
“Have some fun first. Loosen up.” I grabbed both of their shoulders and walked them out of the office, making sure to lock the door.
“Okay we can do that.” Rafe nodded repeatedly. 
I walked in front of them as the two boys followed behind me. More and more people began to show up and started to dance and talk by the pool. Some already in the pool and drinks in hand.
The music was blasting and people were jumping into the pool at this point in the night.
“Here are the drink selections, but if you guys want anything special just like me know.” I went behind the bar and started to mix a drink for myself.
“Need some help?” a voice asked from next to me.
I turn and see Sofia out of her uniform and in a more relaxed outfit with her bathing suit under.
“No you just got off work, relax!” I smiled to her before pointing to the seat in front of the bar.
Rafe and her started talking while I went ahead and made Rafe a drink, Barry already nursing a beer. Once I was done, I poured Rafe's drink into a cup and pushed it towards him.
“A mai tai?” his eyebrows furrowed while he took a sip.
“You seem like a mai tai guy.” I said as I rounded towards the boys and Sofia. 
“It’s my go-to drink.” he hummed into the cup.
“How are you liking the OBX so far?” Sofia asked, her arm wrapped around Rafes middle.
“The people are okay, the views are beautiful though!” Sof and I laughed together. “We will be right back. I have business to discuss.”
“Wait I thought you guys already had a meeting earlier?” Sofia looked up to Rafe with her eyebrows now furrowed.
“Mr. Cameron keeping racking the price up, but we’ll be quick I promise!” I squeezed her arm before leading Rafe and Barry into the house again.
I locked the office door behind us, making sure nobody went and interrupted this meeting.
“Open in.” I handed the two boys their crowbars.
The wood cracked and the nails were released, a sheet of canvas cloth covering the artifact. I pulled away the cloth and revealed the beautiful gold cross, the gold and crystals shined bright.
“How’d you know my dad is alive?” Rafe snapped, his whole persona changing.
“I never said he was. From what I heard was that his dying wish was for the cross to be donated to a museum, but thank you for cleaning up my suspicion.” I smiled up at him as I crouched down to inspect the cross.
“Why am I meeting with you and not your dad?” he asked, Barry just stood quietly leaning against the desk.
“Wow Rafe, your misogyny is showing. Better hide that before Sofia see’s it.” I knew how to talk to guys who thought they were the shit, it was easy to put them in their place.
I stood back up almost chest to chest with him, his heavy breath fanned against my face. “You’re meeting with me because I am in charge of historical artifacts, my dad is takes care of historical landmarks, and my mom takes care of the science part of all this.”
His shoulders relaxed and he backed away. I motioned for both of them to sit in the two seats in front of the desk as I sat in the big girl chair.
“Why does your dad want to donate it?” I crossed my legs as I opened the drawer to find anything to use to inspect further.
“Because he is a good man and wants it to be seen by others.” Rafe spat out quickly, Barry chuckled beside him which he didn't like.
“Rafe. I am on your side here, I know a lot about you, your dad, your sisters, especially Sarah.” His body straightened up at the sound of his sisters name. “I just want the truth.”
“Are you with Singh?” his eyes were wide and his fists were clenched.
“Who the fuck is Singh?” my own eyes were wide and I looked at Barry to see if he knew what he was talking about but he was confused too.
“Ay don't look a’me” Barry put his hands up in defense.
“Dude, my family is just trying to make money from other rich people.” I pulled out files with profiles of my other buyers. “These people buy shit like this, just for shits and giggles.”
“How does this work?” he pointed between us.
“I have a client that wants to see it. If they buy it, and it’s a big if, then I get 30 percent and you get the rest.” I crossed my arms and leaned back into the leather chair.
“Who’s your client?”
“I can’t say.” 
“I need to know. I need to do a whole background check on them, see if they’re connected to Singh.” Rafe listed all of these things rushed.
“Again with Singh! Who even is that guy?” I sighed as I took a sip of my room temperature drink.
“You shouldn't be in this business. I shouldn’t have brought the cross here.” Rafe stood up and his hands ran all over his face.
Barry stood up also, not knowing what to do and how to deal with Rafe.
“Rafe, calm down.” I stood up and walked over to him, trying to see if he was just fucking around.
“Calm down?” He yelled out. His voice making me flinch back into Barrys chest, his hands keeping me up. “I saw him kill a man! Singh is dangerous, y-you can't be caught up in this.”
My eyes searched his face to see if he was lying.
“Singh held me hostage and almost killed me because of this!”
I knew he was telling the truth. Nobody would take it this far.
“It’s just a stupid cross.” I tried to smile to lighten up the mood.
“It’s more than a cross okay? Way more than a cross.” his fingers rubbed over his lips.
“Think about it. This cross is worth 1 billion dollars, if you two are splitting the price after my share, both of you would get 400 million.” I looked at both of them with hope in my eyes. “We can do background checks, anything to keep everyone safe.”
His body looked over the cross that laid in the wooden crate, the gears in his mind moving in many directions. 
“I want a full background check on your client, their family, their friends, old teachers and classmates, everything. Anything that connects to Singh, I want nothing to do with it.” he looked back at me with worried eyes, the winkles on between his brow showed his much stress he’s been through.
“Deal.” I held out my hand.
He fully turned to me and shook my hand firmly, his arm tugging my closer to him so his mouth was close to my ear. “I’d take every precaution. Watch your back and don't trust anyone.”
“You’re not the only one who’s dealt with crazy billionaires.” I smiled up at him as I let go of his hand and backed away. “Load it up and hide it.”

You cannot convince me that not once, in the five weeks they lived on Poguelandia, JJ and Sarah didn't sit down together---at night or otherwise---and talk about the complicated relationship they have with their fathers because no one would understand the way they do.

Castaways
JJ x black!reader
Reader and Pope are twins
Based off of Season 2 Episode 10
-•-
"Help! Help, John B!" I hear the faint sound of Kiara's shouts coming from the other side of the ship.
"That's Kie!" Sarah and I shouted at the same time.
"Where are they?" Pope asks.
John B goes to the other side of the boat and we see Kiara holding up an unconscious Jj barely above the water.
"Oh my gosh! Jj!" I shout panicking.
Everyone started freaking out and calling Jj's name until we finally get him and Kiara in the boat safely.
"Oh, oh my gosh! Jj? Jj, baby please! Please!" I shout trying to wake him up.
"Jj, get up!" I shout letting out a sob.
I shake him and hit him but he wouldn't wake up.
Suddenly the boat stops and John B tries to start it up again.
I lay my head on Jj's shoulder and cradled him to my chest as I sob loudly.
John B gets the boat moving again and we start moving to who knows where.
Then I felt Jj's body jerk and a cough erupt from his lips.
I pull him away from my body to reveal him with his eyes open, coughing up water.
"There you go! Cough it out baby!" John B tells him.
I sigh in relief and put my hands together thanking God.
I look at Jj to see him already looking at me kinda confused.
"Hi." I say breathlessly.
"Sup?" He says.
I let out a light laughing pulling him in for a hug.
"Just always looking for attention, huh?" John B asks him with a smile steering the boat away.
"Whatever it takes." Jj says and we all start laughing.
"You scared me you asshole." I tell him as tears continue to roll down my cheeks.
Kie passes me a rag that I place gently on the side of his head where blood is coming from.
"What the hell happened?" Jj asks sitting up.
"You got hit with the blunt end of a machete." Cleo responses.
"A machete?" He asks his face lighting up at what she said.
I rolled my eyes and say, "She said the blunt end dummy."
"Yeah, next time duck." Cleo continues.
"I'll try to remember that next time." Jj jokes.
I look out to the ship to see them pulling up the cross.
"This shit ain't over." Pope says looking at John B then over to me.
I shake my head a determined look on my face.
John B shakes his head as well and says, "No it ain't.", looking straight at Sarah.
I look back over at Jj and smile at him pulling him in for another hug.
After we pull away he pulls me into a kiss.
The kiss is passionate and full of emotion.
"Ew. Alright cut that out you two." John B laughs.
I pull away and rest me forehead against Jj's lightly laughing with a smile on my face.
-•-
We make it safely to an uninhabited island.
Kiara, Sarah, Cleo and I are sat on the ground as we watched the boys pull the boat closer to shore.
I take off my wet shirt leaving me in my bikini top and wring out my shirt laying it next to me.
"Good job guys. Good job." Sarah cheers them on.
"Jj you alright there buddy?" John B asks Jj.
"Yeah, just still a little dizzy." He replies pushing the rag to his wound again.
I look at him worriedly.
"Alright, anybody know where we're at?" Jj asks as Pope sits next to Cleo and John B sits next to Sarah.
"Deserted Beach. Unknown island." Pope says.
I roll me eyes at him, "No shit." I reply.
"Alright I'll take that as a no." Jj replies to Pope.
"Plan A, huh, Pope?" Jj asks.
"That went well." He says lightly shaking his head.
"This is the lowest we can go." Pope tells us looking at John B.
"We literally have nothing else to lose. The cross is gone." Pope continues.
I look down remember that a piece of my family is now gone.
"The gold gone." Sarah adds.
Pope lays back defeated.
"Seriously, if we had a nickel for every time we got beat up. I'd say we're at a dollar fifty right now." Jj says sticking his pocket knife into the tree I'm sat next to.
"That's more than I got on me." Kiara adds.
"That somehow doesn't make me feel better." says Sarah.
"Yeah, you're right." John B starts as everyone looks towards him now.
"But I mean, we've...we've had some good stuff happen, right? He asks with a shrug and a light smile looking at Sarah.
"Name something." says Pope.
"Um." John B stutters.
"Uh, the boiler room." John B states looking at Pope and Cleo.
"What if the boiler didn't explode. I wouldn't have gotten away from Rafe. I couldn't have gotten the zodiac and gotten us out of here." John B supports his answer.
Cleo shakes her head at him. "That wasn't luck. Dat ting was gonna blow the second I stopped feedin’ it."
"Stealing my thunder there, Cleo." John B says a little defeated.
"Sorry." Cleo apologies.
I look up at Jj and notice he's carving something in the tree.
"Okay, Pope, Y/n." John B starts again which gains my attention when he calls my name.
"Your both related to Denmark Tanny. That's crazy." He says trying cheer us up.
"And we lost all his inheritance." Pope and I say at the same time.
I let out a tired sigh and stand up as I dust off my pants.
"You know what?" John B says also standing up.
"Guys this is it. This is the Pogue life." He says walking to stand in front of us.
"We are in the Caribbean. It's our own little slice of paradise. With my best friends, with my family. I don't know. I wouldn't wanna do it with anyone else." He says trying to cheer us up and look at the bright side.
"Look while you guys are complaining about every little thing." He smiles walking towards Jj and I.
"Jj?" He asks and Jj hums in response sticking to knife into the tree.
John B points towards the ocean.
"I was looking at those burly lefts." He says causing Jj to start smiling.
"There's some slabs out there." Jj agrees.
"Just a few." John B plays along.
"Kie, see that? I know you wanna get out there. You to Y/n." John B smiles towards us which causes me to shake my head and smile widely.
"No boards." Kiara points out smiling too with a roll of her eyes.
"Well, we can body surf till we make some boards." John B says coming up with a solution.
"Lame." Kiara let's out.
"Pope? Come on, man." John B says turning to my twin brother.
"They do look pretty tasty." Pope agrees looking out towards the water.
"Oh, yes, they do." John B encourages him.
"There's nobody around. We can squat here for a bit." Pope says stand up.
"Kind of belongs to us now huh?"
"You got a point." John B agrees.
"Seven-way slipt." Pope says and they do the Pogue handshake.
"Poguelandia." Jj exclaims in a funny accent.
I let out a small laugh as John B says "Oh, boy.", before saying, " I claim thee Poguelandia." I say in the same voice as Jj at the same time as him.
I jump towards Jj, kinda surprised and excited that we said the same thing at the same time.
"Y'all are so weird." I hear Kiara say through everyone's laughs.
"I like the ring of it. I'm gonna make a flag. It's gonna have a chicken on it." Jj says after the laughing dies down.
I make a face at that.
"With a coconut bra, smoking a J. In crocs." He continues.
Kiara, Sarah and I laugh before Kiara says, " I could use a J."
"I could so use a J, right now." I agree with her.
Jj makes a dirty joke directed at me under his breath but I caught it and slapped his stomach with my hand, while smiling.
"Oof-" Jj lets out putting a hand in the place I just hit him.
"Can we take a vote on this?" Sarah asks still laughing.
"Shall we get to work?" Pope asks John B with a smile.
"Let's get to work. Let's start working on provisions. Set up shop." John B replies with a smile fist bumping Pope.
John B moves towards Sarah as I move closer to Jj, wrapping my arms around his neck.
He wraps his arms around my waist.
I smile up at him pull his head down for a kiss.
We pull away and smile at one another.
"I love you." We say at the same time erupting into a soft laugh after.
I sigh contently and Jj takes my hand placing his favorite ring on my ring finger.
He then lifts up my hand and kisses the ring.
I smile up at him lovingly.
"Full Pogue." I hear Sarah say.
Jj and I turned towards them holding each other close.
I see John B and Sarah together, Pope helping Cleo up and Jj helps Kiara up with his free hand.
"To going full Pogue." Jj says.
"What's a Pogue anyway?" Cleo asks.
I unwrap myself from Jj and wrap my hands around Kie's waist as Jj puts his arm over John B's shoulder.
Sarah starts walking, with Kie and I following, John B and Jj behind us following and Pope teaching Cleo the Pogue handshake.
