Summary
A deep dive into Vivian Reyes’s private journal—where she pours out her mind, soul, and fragile heart.
As she tries to navigate the OBX turf, Vivian is still on a run from the trauma that threatens to swallow her whole. But when she trips and falls into the void of her own memories, she gets right back up. She has to. Because she knows there is a certain boy waiting for her—a boy who needs her. Even if he’d never say it out loud.

You Know Who You're Gonna Have To Trust Right Now? (God-)Papa J by PrincessOfNothingCharming for May_39898

Summary
He’s just finished the second braid when there’s a squeak from down the hall like rubber on linoleum. His head shoots up, followed quickly by Kiara’s and Cleo’s. Pope is last, his dark eyes blinking rapidly as he follows everyone’s gaze to where John B is skidding – and slipping – to a stop in front of them.
His hair stands up at every angle, the curls wild and messy the way they are after a full night of partying at The Boneyard, but his smile – though sleepy – is the brightest thing JJ has ever seen in his entire life. Teary-eyed, with a wrinkled shirt, mussed hair, and eyelids that look ready to close – John B has never looked happier.
Looking between his friends slowly, John B’s eyes eventually settle on JJ. They stare at each other – something passing between them, something JJ can feel right in the center of his chest – and then John opens his mouth and practically sobs the words, “We have a daughter.”

Summary
“Pen, how are you?” His cheerful voice used to bring butterflies to life in the pit of her stomach. Now it rolled in revulsion.
“I am well, Mr. Bridgeton; now if you would excuse me, I have the most unbearable headache, and I wish to return home.” She said coming up with an excuse off the top of her head. She tried to rush past him to round the corner of the house. He reached out his hand, wrapping around her forearm. Pulling her to a stop.
"Pen, are we okay?” He asked hesitantly, “It’s just that I wrote you this summer and you never replied; admittedly, not many people did, but if you are going to make me say it, I’ve missed you.” His eyes held sincerity. She closed hers briefly to keep from rolling her eyes.
“You missed me, but you would never court me?” She mumbled.
“What?” He whispered out in shock.
“That’s what you said last summer. At my mother’s ball, I heard you, before you try to deny it.” She held his gaze as he struggled to form words, trying to think of anything to redeem himself. “The problem is, I never asked you too”

Summary
John B had just started third grade last week, and so far? It's been torture.
He has zero friends, his teachers suck, and the food the cafeteria serves tastes like cardboard.
On Wednesday's lunch is upgraded to not only tasting like cardboard but smelling like it too. But only on Wednesdays. Why? Nobody has figured it out yet and honestly no one wants to.
Basically, my version of how the Pogue's (JJ, Kie, Pope, and John B) meet.
THEY DON'T MEET UNTIL A COUPLE CHAPTER IN!! -

Summary
Why are they googling? That hadn’t even occurred to JJ.
Because he has a better resource.
His mama. She is his lighthouse, his compass, his answer to everything. But especially his answer to anything regarding dolphins.
Because Larissa Maybank is a marine biologist. She works with turtles and dolphins and sometimes even sharks when she drives up to the research center on the mainland. On weekends or on days when JJ doesn’t have school, she often takes him with her to the Kildare marine animal rehabilitation center—her main workplace. JJ has seen her kiss a sea lion on the nose and pick up a baby turtle like it was the most precious thing in the world. She knows ocean facts like other moms know casserole recipes.
OR
JJ loves Mrs. Darcy’s class because she always makes learning fun. This Friday, it’s a contest: find the coolest dolphin fact and win the biggest lollipop in Kildare. While everyone else runs to Google, JJ turns to his favorite scientist—his mom.Series

Summary
JJ didn’t cry or yell or try to cover up. His face was all twisted up, teeth bared like he might bite someone. It didn’t look like him at all.
It scared her a little. None of it felt like school. None of it felt normal.
Pope must’ve felt it too – he was still sitting at the table, gripping the edge with his face all pale.
When teachers pulled Sam off, JJ didn’t say anything or look at anybody. Just let them drag him out. And he hadn’t been back after. She figured he was suspended, maybe also grounded. Hopefully his dad wasn’t too mad.
The sound of the hit kept coming back to her. His lip had split. He hadn’t said a word.
Nobody had even asked if he was okay.
A lot can happen in a week.
When the Pogues are twelve, there’s a fight, a party, a project, a festival -- and a few things their parents make sure they remember.
Some lessons they push back on. Others stick.
And not the ones you’d hope.Series

Summary
It’s probably not surprising. Really, it’s not. Impending disaster. Probable chaos. One wrong step, and that’s all it takes. Some things really don’t change.

JJ and John B set out to fix the roof at Poguelandia.

Summary
One touch, then both palms framing his jaw like he had to see him before he said it. “Didn’t even ask, man. Not once. Didn’t ask what happened. What he did. I just needed you to be okay so I could keep going.”
The thoughts were tripping over each other. The guilt. That old, familiar feeling he’d lived with for years – of being helpless, stuck in a loop so delicate it felt like the wrong breath could bring it all down. And the anger. Not at JJ. Not even at Luke. At himself. For needing him whole and pretending that made it true. For how easy it had been to look past the hurt just because he couldn’t afford to lose the rest of him.
Blue eyes stared back at his, wide, a touch too bright. “I was okay.”
“You weren’t.”
“Well, you weren’t either,” JJ said then tried to move his face away
_____________Both times, it starts with a dog. At thirteen, JJ tried to help and paid for it. At twenty-three, he steps in again - and this time, he wins. But it brings everything back. One long night on the porch follows, full of too much booze, too many ghosts, and the things he and John B never said when it mattered.

Summary
A few hours ago, he’d been curled up on the floor of the Chateau’s bathroom, dry-heaving like a loser. His throat burned, his head was pounding, and his brain wouldn’t shut up about everything he’d screwed up. Stealing from his dad, running, being a piece of shit, the fact that he’d be fucking murdered as soon as he stepped foot at his house—it had all hit him at once.
He’d shaken. He’d cried. He’d felt every bit the damn waste of space his dad always said he was.
And then he’d stopped.
Gotten up. Washed his face. Fixed his shit.
Cause JJ Maybank didn’t stay down. He didn’t sit around whining and waiting for a rescue.
He’d done it because his friends needed him. Because John B needed him. And if stealing the damn pump meant the Pogue ran again, then that was just how it had to be.
--
Spring on the Outer Banks means two things: trouble and the Pogues finding it. JJ is fighting to keep it together at home, while John B is barely holding on after his father’s disappearance. Pope and Kie do their best to keep the group steady, but even the strongest friendships are tested when real life hits hard.Series

Summary
Aurora Huntington had never understood him.
She never understood his cruelty, his arrogance, or his self-entitlement as a Kook, but she knew that she hated him for it all.
And Rafe Cameron had never understood her.
He never understood how the fated Kook Princess could instead plummet to the status of a Pogue, he never understood her unrelenting loyalty or her unnerving morality, and yet he hated her for it regardless.
But as the journey goes on and two worlds collide, Aurora and Rafe are faced with the realisation that they aren't so different after all. Bravados fall, demeanours wash away, and they're both left there; his tainted and fetid heart clutched in her hands and her past and soul laid out bare for him to see.
It turns out, he wasn't as dastardly as he seemed nor was she as perfect as portrayed.

Summary
"Severe storm forming over the Atlantic, heading for the Carolinas—expected to hit the Outer Banks by tomorrow night."
JJ’s chewing slowed. His eyes locked onto the screen, the words sinking in like a stone in his stomach. The weatherman started talking about wind speeds and evacuation warnings, showing a satellite image of swirling clouds closing in on the familiar stretch of islands.
Poguelandia.
OR
What if JJ and Kie were on their surf trip when a storm suddenly hits the OBX?

Summary
The truth at the heart of it all is this – if JJ is honest with himself (which he avoids with every beer drunk and every joint smoked and every punch thrown) – he’s kind of a shitty person.
Not shit in the way his dad is – not yet. Or shit in the way the Kooks are – not ever.
But he’s so fucking far from good that he can’t think of another word for it.
His momma called him good – good and beautiful and smart and brave.

Summary
Anyone else would give up now. They would scoff or roll their eyes and be done with the conversation, uninterested in entertaining Sarah's attitude.
Except for JJ.
He abandons the party—and the other Pogues—in favor of disassembling Sarah's carefully crafted walls.
