Summary
She falls asleep with her best friend next to her, his hand in hers, stranded on an island in the middle of the Atlantic: no food, no water, no plan, no way to get out.
She thinks briefly, fleetingly, that she kind of wouldn’t mind falling asleep like this forever.
And then she thinks, oh.
or, five times kiara loved jj and one time she said it

Summary
Later, when she tries to remember it, Kiara realizes it comes back in flashes.
She remembers sitting on that ratty old pullout couch, her ukulele in her lap, holding her breath because she was almost positive JJ was about to say what she’d been waiting for him to say for weeks (and, honestly, probably longer).
Then, all of a sudden, whatever spark was between the two of them became the spark that burned down their childhood, turned into flames that licked up the sugar and left only the salt – a sour, bitter taste in all of their mouths, and nothing to chase it with.

Summary
“This is–we shouldn’t be–this is a bad idea–this is stu–”
“Stupid things, good outcomes, right?”
“Not like this, Kie,” he shakes his head, “Not like this.”(or, what 304 could've been)

Summary
Life, JJ found, is a whole hell of a lot easier if you never searched for the shiny stuff; a lot easier if you avoided everything glittery and sparkly and special.
His father always told him that if he ever had something like that, something perfect, to sell it, never hold onto it.
But perfection doesn’t always last very long – that’s what his mother taught him.
or, jj and the elephant (and kiara)

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
Cleo has become very familiar with Pope’s kindness. He’s extended it to her time and time again, evidenced by the fact that, even now, she’s sitting on his bed and wearing his clothes as if she owns his room, and he’s coming in as a visitor.
The thing is, whatever she feels for him goes way beyond kindness. It’s wild to think he might feel the same way.
or, Cleo and Pope talk about books. kind of.

Summary
It’s how Kiara knows, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that happy endings are not to be trusted. The gold of the Royal Merchant or El Dorado was never going to solve all their problems. Life as a Kook is not inherently better than life as a Pogue, no matter how many people tried to tell her it was. Makeovers and role reversals are not the end of the story; they’re an ominous beginning.
That’s why when JJ tells her what he’s learned, when the broken confession tears from his throat, she knows exactly what he’s wrestling with. Knows he held his head higher before it was threatened with a Kook crown.
Anyone else would cheer for this kind of fairy tale plot twist. They’d celebrate fortunes restored, a pauper turned prince, a royal long thought dead returning to glory. But something haunts the Genrette house, be it an actual curse or just centuries of greed and corruption. And JJ’s always preferred the devil he knows.
--
Or, Kiara's never liked fairy tales. While JJ wrestles with an identity crisis, Kiara tries to show him there's nobody better equipped to weather the storm with him.

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.
