    Summary

    Based on Season 2 Episode 8.

    John B just fought off an alligator. A freakin’ gator. It was so crazy. It was insanely cool. It was painful as fuck, and John B was pretty sure he was gonna bleed out, stuck on the roof of a half-submerged van. The only thing he knew for sure? It was all JJ’s fault.

    Summary

    “Can’t believe you guys.” She laughs and it is shaky. “No secrets amongst Pogues, right? Ain't that what we always say?”

    Nobody answers. Nobody meets her eyes. Pope’s still tracing circles in the grease. Sarah presses her mouth shut so hard it’s white.

    Kie's eyes are watering and her voice is way too loud as she turns to JJ.

    “And you -- Fuck! You always do this. I'm tired of it, Jayj! Just talk to me!”
    ____________

    The Pogues made it through hell.
    They won. They’re in love, together, happy - at least that’s how it should be.
    But when the clouds clear and the dust settles, they’ll learn that living isn’t as simple as surviving.

    Set post S3. S4 doesn't exist here.

    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.

    Summary

    He bites his lip again, like the pain will shake him awake if this is all a dream. It feels like it is, being comfortable and warm and surrounded by people who love him regardless of the things he hates most. His past and his scars and his fears. He doesn’t wake up, though, and he thanks the God he doesn’t know if he believes in.

    He sleeps in his bed. Kiara by his side, pressed against his chest. They sleep with the window open and the door cracked, just so he doesn’t feel trapped. They talk and talk, about everything and nothing in the comfort of the dark. The only light coming from the moon and the stars outside.

    AKA The Pogues buy the house JJ grew up in, and they pour their hearts into making it a home. Even when JJ can't sleep in his childhood bedroom or share the memories of his past, they stick by his side and carry him through the change. He's never been more grateful. A further take on how JJ copes with buying back the Maybank house, and the first few days after moving in.

    Summary

    He swallows, but it feels like there’s a lump in his throat. That’s the only reason tears spring to his eyes. The only reason.

    It’s also why he doesn’t lift his eyes from the ratty blanket in his lap. Why he chews his cheek. Why he slides his hand into his hair and tugs until it hurts a little, until John B’s foot bumps against his own again.

    Then, he musses his hair one last time before grinning, “Bro, you wouldn’t believe me if I told you. It was… unbelievable.”

    When he lifts his eyes, John B’s already looking back at him. His smile slips. Just a fraction. Just enough.

    Summary

    He was gone, B. At Christmas. What, you had to sit here and wait?”

    John B looked up. “That's not what I'm talking about. You were there right? You saw what happened.”

    “No shit.” JJ was on his feet before he realized it. “Dude came in looking for a fight. It’s like… Cut 101. You don’t throw a punch unless you want one.” He shrugged, but it came out tight. “Especially not at my dad.”

    “You’d know, huh?”

    The second it slipped, JB froze, like he wanted to grab it back, but JJ didn’t give him the chance. He stopped cold. Hands curled.
    “What the fuck does that mean?”
    __________

    JJ lives by unspoken rules: don’t mix the Pogues with your family, don’t cry, hit first, and for fuck’s sake never, ever piss Luke off.
    Breaking one was all it took, and the rest went with it.
    Now John B hates him, home is off-limits, and he’s stuck half-frozen on Kie’s bedroom floor trying to figure out where it all went to shit.

    Summary

    When Gwen woke up the morning of August 9th, she checked the humidity index before the temperature.

    Now it’s 2 PM and 86F, but the humidity, which matters above all, is 79. Pretty bad.

    Mia clearly does not think so, which is why they are now sitting outside of Sylvia’s in Harlem, where Gwen can only longingly stare at the air-conditioned interior. Distantly, Gwen knows Georgia must be much worse than Manhattan. She resolves never to go. She’s not certain she’d be welcomed, though, so maybe that’s its own kind of solution.

    ***

    Harry Osborn, Felicia Hardy, and Peter Parker all stand within truths, lies, and things that are somehow both and neither.

    Gwen Stacy's greatest ambition is to map out the unknown.

    Featuring:
    A lot of masks,
    Freedom, or loneliness,
    A man in a giant wheel, another in a bear costume, a half-sentient brick wall, and plenty more guys with a range of villainous intent,
    The unbearable weight of living with the truth,
    All kinds of haunting,
    And disappearing acts.

    PS: "To love me is to suffer me."

    Summary

    Pope rolls his eyes. “He wants a coffee,” he tells Kie. “He’s just grumpy.”

    “Fuck you, I’m not grumpy,” JJ says.

    Pope just laughs, throws an arm around his shoulders. “Whatever you say, baby.”

    Kie feels the butterflies in her stomach turn to dust.

    “Just because I don’t drink your girly tea or what the fuck ever,” JJ starts, and Pope wrestles him into a headlock, noogies him affectionately.

    “What do you have?” he says conversationally to Kie, who is staring at the two of them and every point of contact between them with steadily growing realisation.

    Well, fuck.

     

    or, Kiara is sort of in love with her next-door neighbour. Unfortunately, she’s also pretty sure he’s dating his roommate.

    Summary

    Mike doesn’t know how long he sits on the edge of the coffee table before he hears the clatter of JJ’s boots hitting the floor. Each step is loud, angry, and then it stops all at once.

    JJ’s eyes are wide, bright in their panic, and his head whips from one direction to the other before finally settling on Mike. But the tension doesn’t drain from his body when he realizes they’re alone; if anything, Mike swears he sees JJ’s breathing pick up. His chest heaves with the effort to control his breathing, his fingers shake before he closes them into fists, and his eyes linger anywhere but on Mike’s face.

    He looks like a caged animal, like something feral locked up for the first time. Like if Mike moves the wrong way, JJ might literally take a bite out of him. Or claw his skin raw.

    OR

    Mike shows up at JJ's place after finding out he stole the money clip in episode 3x05.

    Summary

    He and JJ were going surfing. A typical Thursday afternoon for them. But when they walked onto the beach with their boards, there was this black cat perched along the fence. It was a skinny thing, small and thin. It spotted the boys immediately.

    John B wanted to pet it. He reached out towards it, but just as JJ was pulling him back, the cat jumped into the brush.

    “Careful, B,” he’d whispered. “He doesn’t know you yet.”

    After a tough night, John B tries to explain the complexities of JJ.

    Summary

    John B still feels sick, because it’s finally confirmed. The small whisper of a thought he had weeks ago. The thing he never thought could be true. And now everything hurts– everything hurts, because he can’t imagine how he went so long without knowing. Without noticing.

    But as much as he hurts, he knows JJ hurts worse.

    What if John B didn't know about JJ and Luke? What if he's finding out with the rest of them? Set throughout the first season.

    Summary

    JJ knows that he's not a protagonist in life, like John B. JJ can steal, lie and party, and no one looks twice. As far as he's concerned, his life is better for it.

    Except for DCS obsessing over John B after years of JJ barely shrugging to get them off his back. That kind of sucks.

    Summary

    “Maybe the gold’s cursed,” tries John B, nudging JJ with his shoulder. He’s not really looking at him anymore, and JJ sets his jaw. Of course John B was going to try and be stupid and escapist now, when JJ has just stared at the truth head-on. He’s too annoyed to let John B do it, so he shakes his head instead of continuing the mythology.

    “No bueno, asshole,” he says. “I was being cute forty-five minutes ago. You didn’t want to go to Yucatan, so it’s real talk, now. Saddle up, bitch.”

    OR: in which John B apologizes for "You just wanna leave 'cause you got your ass beat?" but nothing else changes, because greed and grief are a terrible combination, and JJ Maybank doesn't know how to love without loss.

    Summary

    "How'd I get this job, anyway?"

    "'Cause you're the best liar."

    So JJ practices lying. Because he’s good at it. Because when John B lists off the attributes of his friends it goes smart, beautiful, and then kleptomaniac. Except that he doesn’t, actually. JJ actually so rarely lies to anyone that when he does it sticks, except that it means the people who know the truth, John B, Kiara, Pope, they think it’s all he ever does.

    Because JJ is a paradox of a pretty open book who's also the quickest at thinking on his feet, and it means that sometimes he just wishes someone would fucking believe him, for once.

    Kiara's first drug experience really sucks until she comes down and JJ is there for the first time in months.

    “You can spend the night,” she said. “I mean. Is everything okay, like is--” 

    “Oh no,” JJ said loudly, “Not cool. Don’t turn this around. Who is the hero here? I’m saving you. You can save me later if you really want to.”
