Summary
It calms Pope for the moment, and JJ breaks away, ducking into the crowd to fulfill his mission. He can do this, he knows how to lose himself in pretend, spin a story, confidently march around the facade.
But then…There’s always the one thing that can make him falter.

Summary
It was probably a bad idea, agreeing to leave Kildare. Even if it's temporary.
JJ tries not to live with regret, he really does, but as he weaves through campus on a Friday night, he can’t help but wonder what the hell he’s doing here.
----
Or, JJ thinks he's dropping off a delivery and picks up more than he's bargained for.

Summary
JJ sighs something long and suffering, snatching up his coffee for the trip back before Sarah drinks it all. God, it’s annoying when she’s right, the liquid smooth and far more pleasing than any Folgers shit he’s ever had.
This time when he walks in, the floral incense knocking him out along with the low folk music, she’s there at the front. Her service smile fades when she registers the customer.
“We’re closed.”
----
Or, JJ is dragged to a vacation from hell, and the annoying barista in town doesn't make it any better. Even if she's hot.

Summary
JJ drifts, aimless. Thinks he understands Luke better than he ever has, watching the infinite stretch of water, the light-painted waves reaching for some faraway place. But the thing Luke could never do, that everyone suffered for, was anchor himself. JJ doesn’t know where he is, what he is, but there’s only ever been one anchor for him.

Summary
She doesn't know what she's still doing here. Sometimes, she doesn't know what she's doing at all.
And there isn't anyone or anything left to remind her of that, not anymore. Nothing other than the twist of darkness within, the spiral of her reflection.
But since when does she back down from a challenge? Least of all from surfer boys sweeping in with easy smiles and perfect hair. They can afford him. They’re drowning. And the thing about surfer boy is, he seems like he knows how to swim.
It’s a mistake. She knows it before she even says it.
----
Or, an obx/the bear au nobody asked for.

Summary
"Grizz felt the stirrings of a familiar longing beneath his ribcage, of feelings neglected and ignored so often and for so long that sometimes he wonders how they haven’t died of drought. Perhaps hope really does spring eternal.
Usually, this longing, this ache, is faceless by nature. More of a general yearning for a world that’s not quite his and a future that he can pin his hopes on. Something to tell the restlessness in his chest: settle down, be patient, your time will come.
This time though? The feeling has soft red hair and piercing blue eyes and a smile that transcends any language barrier imaginable. The feeling sounds like the thumping bass at prom, of a butchered attempt at connection before their world was upended for the second time in as many weeks. The feeling no longer wants to be patient, insists that fortune favors the bold and that he can’t be seen if he keeps hiding away from anyone who might try."
--
A look at the world through the eyes of one Grizz Visser. Follow along as he falls for Sam, falls apart, and what happens when he returns. Part character study, part Grizzam indulgence, and featuring plenty of literary references.

Summary
He felt a little more alive then, looking at Kiara, her big brown eyes watching him with something that looked like relief and excitement and sheer fucking joy.
JJ wasn’t sure when Kiara had become his favourite person, but after spending weeks with her in the dark, hidden under the blankets of stars the night gave them, he was almost certain he was her favourite person too.
JJ and Kie can’t sleep at night. So they drive around the Outer Banks in the dark, stay up until the skies turn pink and look at each other in a way that they’re not used to.
This is what they did when the island wasn’t looking.

Summary
There’s the fourth member, too. JJ. Bass, the boy who sounded like every sun she had watched crawl over the horizon from the beach. The boy whose gaze she had met in the crowd like their eyes were magnets seeking each other out. Quietest onstage, but used his instrument like he was born with it. He doesn’t go for a towel or a journalist: instead, one of the roadies come up to him, takes his bass, then tapes up his thumb with gaffa tape and cotton wool. There’s a line of dried blood that runs down the inside of his palm, and he sucks it into his mouth, pink mouth becoming even pinker. His hair, dusty blond, dark gold with perspiration, sticks to his forehead.
Kie thinks, oh.
or, Kiara is a music journalist waiting for her big break, and JJ is the bassist in a band that might just be the answer.

Summary
if love was blind, jj maybank probably wouldn’t have spent so many high school class periods staring at kiara carrera’s legs from the back corner of the classroom. kie probably wouldn’t have felt warm all over every time she saw jj follow his friends into the Wreck, hat on backwards, laugh boisterous, smirk dangerous.
if love was blind, jj and kiara probably would have been just fine when they were home for the holidays. they wouldn’t have met eyes in the glow of bonfires and fireworks and festive lights, wouldn’t have thought, just for the weekend.
if love was blind, year after year after year, they wouldn't end up back at this, thinking the road not taken looks real good now.
messy as the mud on your truck tires, but hear me out.
ten years of 'tis the damn season.
