Summary
Kiara always felt she knew herself exceptionally well.
Her parents used words like precocious and opinionated to describe her at an early age... As she got older, she learned that those were coded words for traits like stubborn, single-minded, and obstinate.
She preferred terms like passionate, determined, and candid.
But when she met Rafe Cameron, Kiara learned she didn’t know herself quite as well as she’d believed.

Summary
The strumming comes to a stop, and he immediately regrets opening his mouth. It’d been nice sitting next to her, the low hum of her ukulele, her warm body next to his. Reminding him that she’s there, she’s real.
Her eyes flicker up to his eyes, like honey, ‘riptide by vance joy,’ she says, ‘I know that's like generic as hell-’
She stops abruptly. And JJ has no clue why, Kiara doesn’t look away though. She holds his gaze and it’s like someone is stabbing him with a knife from the inside. He’s used to it by now. Whenever he remembers that he’ll never know what Kie’s lips feel like on his own.
‘That was my mom’s favorite song.’
‘I know,’ she says simply.
His breaths are ragged now, ‘you’re pretty good at that,’ he quips once Kiara resumes her playing.
She clocks him with a knowing look, like she knows something he doesn’t. JJ doesn’t like it one bit, ‘was that a compliment?’ she giggles.
She actually giggles, ‘Kie,’ he groans and swiftly buries his face in a nearby cushion. There's something burning and urgent pulsating beneath his skin.

“We’re gonna figure it out. We always do, don’t we? Ain’t nothing’s stopped us yet. Even your crazy Kooks of parents tryin' to take you away from us, from me, not even that worked. We’re unstoppable Kie.”
Kiara knew even JJ didn’t fully believe that, but he was being positive for her, and she couldn’t help but want to believe every word. “Thank you, by the way. For saving me.”
JJ laughed a little and looked back down at their intertwined hands. He gazed down at them like he couldn’t believe he wasn’t dreaming; like he wanted to pinch himself but then he might wake up. Then he said, “Yeah, well, I kinda owed ya, didn’t I?”or little scenes I write about Jiara that I wish we had got to see in s3

Summary
Even though I loved Season 3 and all the beautiful scenes with them, I'm upset we were denied JJ and Kiara's 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th kiss etc. I wanted to see the tension, the love, and instead, the damn show jumped a year and a half in the future, so we won't see the "new relationship" giddy stage anymore.
This is me filling in the scenes we missed, as I imagine it. It will be multi-chapter, so bookmark if you're interested.

Summary
JJ Maybank is not the caretaker of the group.
He’s loud, he’s brash, he’s reckless and cares far too little about his own safety and wellbeing. Everyone knows it. No one comes to him for soft words or reassuring hugs. And yet, he can’t seem to stop himself from looking out for Kiara.
Or, 5 times JJ took care of Kiara and one time she took care of him.
Jiara Bingo prompts - 5+1 (chapter 1), almost kiss (chapter 2), the beach (chapter 3), snuggling (chapter 4), jj's house (chapter 6)

Summary
“My parents are happy I’m friends with Sarah,” she dips her hand back in, grazing the surface of the water, “they think she’s a positive influence. She’ll make me more of a Kook.”
It doesn’t slip past him the way Kook is said with scorn.
“You say that like it’s a death sentence,” Rafe’s eyes closes and he tilts his head back to rest on the bricks.
“Take a look around Rafe, that’s exactly what it is.”
He exhales the smoke in his lungs, “So you’d rather run away and hide?”
“Isn’t that exactly what you’re doing as well?”
or: Kiara Carrera acts out during her Kook Year and Rafe Cameron happens to be in her direct line of fire. She doesn't even want to think about the consequences of this, not yet.

Lord, have mercy on my soul for I have walked a sinful road by BTSLarryAf

Summary
Taehyung comes from a good Christian family. He is kind, loving and giving but he’s carrying a dark secret inside for years. He’s got forbidden and sinful thoughts about boys, especially one in particular. He is resisting his urges until one day, when he and Jeon Jungkook are assigned to work together on a school project.
Taehyung is begging God to help him fight his urges but it’s not as easy as it sounds because he’s pretty sure that the devil sent Jeon Jungkook to test him. Maybe god will send him angels to guide him and help him through these hardships. Or maybe he will send him one angel (disguised as a devil at first) to help him realize that there is nothing wrong with his (sometimes dark) desires and feelings.- Language:

Summary
"You just seemed like an interesting person, so I thought I’d come over here and introduce myself. Now I know that you’re just fucking mean.”
Taehyung snorts. “Mean? What are you, two?”
“See, this is exactly what I’m saying. Fucking mean, man - attacking me, even though you don’t know a thing about me. Fuck you.”
“Do you ever shut up?”
"Make me," Jeongguk says, and Taehyung’s never been one to back down from a challenge.
In which Taehyung is a jaded Economics major and Jeongguk enters his life and changes, well, a lot.
In conclusion: I'm bad at summaries. Read anyway?
