Summary
"I'm scared."
"I know. I'm coming."
Kie gripped the toilet seat and cried into the bowl. "You hate me."
The line went quiet. Downstairs, music punched through the floor. In the hall, someone laughed too loud.
"Kie," he said. "Stay on the phone."
"You hate me."
"No."
A laugh broke out of her, wet and awful. "You kicked me out."
"Yeah, well." His breath hit the phone. "You were being a Kook."
____________
When Kie picked the Kooks months ago, JJ made damn sure she knew there was no coming back from that.
Then it's 1:45 a.m. and her name's on his phone. And she can't feel her legs.

Summary
Allie and Dean agree on one thing: whatever is happening between them, it is definitely not a relationship. It’s supposed to be fun, uncomplicated, and temporary. But as Dean realizes he wants more, and Allie struggles to figure out what she really wants, both are forced to confront a question they’ve been avoiding from the start. What if this was never just sex?

Summary
The call comes in the middle of the night.
And, in all honesty, Allie immediately expects the worst. It’s a childish habit. Like picking at scabs when you know that they'll only scar over. No matter how old she gets, she will always be that wide-eyed kid curled up in a plastic chair in her mom’s hospital room. Half asleep when the machine stops beeping.-/:/-

No! Call Allie and make it tragic! -

Summary
"What?"
“Hang. With us.” One hand flopped vaguely toward the windows, the houses, all of Figure Eight sliding by in big lit-up chunks. “Could be out on boats with those assholes. Eat fish eggs ‘n shit. Wear stupid white shorts. Act like… Pogues smell weird.”Kie looked at him. He smelled like blood and Jack Daniel’s and beach smoke. There were cuts on his face and he was using her shoulder as structural support.
“I’m in a truck with you bleeding on me,” she said. “I think I got over that.”
***
Truth is in the wine.
Or in JJ’s case, the whiskey.And if the whiskey had anything to say about it, the beach fight was fine. Kissing Lana Turner was fine. Bleeding on Kie was fine-adjacent. Holding her hand in Boone’s truck was probably something they could all be normal about.
Going home was the part that might be a problem.

Summary
The next afternoon, JJ and John B went around the back of the cafeteria and hauled the trash can lid up just enough to get their hands in. The stink hit first. John B grabbed a milk carton that felt warm in the wrong way, and JJ scooped up a clump of cafeteria noodles, scraped in whatever goo was stuck to the side then dumped it all into a Styrofoam cup. He unzipped his backpack, tore the corner off a knotted plastic bag from B dock, and squeezed a lump of fish guts in on top. John B made a face. “Dude.”
“Shut up and watch,” JJ said. Ketchup packets between his teeth, ripping and squeezing until it turned into this slimy red soup.
A collection of little feral Pogues one-shots. Mostly JJ-centric, with friendship, all kinds of shenanigans and shitty parents all around.

Summary
Kie kept twisting her pen between her fingers before finally leaning over the aisle toward Pope. “JJ text you? He was talking about maybe skipping.”
“In what universe does he tell me before he skips?” Pope muttered. “His dad probably dragged him to work. Or on the water.”
“Yeah, free child labor.”
“Maybe he’s just hungover,” John B said, thumbing his phone under the desk. No new notifications. The last thing in the thread was a picture from two nights ago: a raccoon standing in a tipped trash can behind some beat-up building, eyes glowing in the flash.
JJ had slapped a caption under it: “me clockin in at Mal’s”
He stared until the screen dimmed. The raccoon kept looking back at him like it was in on the joke. If that was the last thing from JJ, it sucked.
“He’ll show,” he said to the notebook.
By third, JJ’s chair was still empty.
_______When Luke gets out of county, JJ comes back bloodied, raw, and halfway into the next bad idea.
John B knows enough to worry, not enough to fix it, and keeps trying to tell himself this is normal JJ bullshit and not something worse.
It is something worse.Series

Summary
It’s like he’s been collecting pieces of her heart, slowly, leaving a gap between her lungs. A space that, if he chooses, his heart might one day fill. It’s dangerous and terrifying, falling for her best friend, but the sun is warmer than it’s ever been, the salt breeze stronger and whole, and every time JJ turns to her, smiling after some stupid joke, her face lights up in return.
JJ and Kiara have been spiraling towards each other for years, and all it takes is one trip to Charleston, a thunderstorm, and a dance.

Summary
“You seem different,” Kiara says quietly.
How can she tell?
“You just…” Her eyes rake over his body, as if searching for an answer. “I don’t know. You seem… heavy?”
He didn’t think there’d be much of a change. He didn’t think anyone would be able to tell. He certainly didn’t think it would make you heavy. But he doesn’t really feel light, either.
He wants to reach out and put his hand on her back, or better yet, tug her by the sleeve until she’s lying down next to him, but his hand stays glued to his side.
“I had sex.”

Summary
Brother. Godfather. King of Friendship. P4L.
She thinks of the words on the plaque, recites them over and over in her head, until she pinpoints exactly why they bother her. They describe JJ perfectly, of that there is no doubt. He was the best brother to the Pogues, especially John B and Pope. John B did ask him to be Josie’s godfather, and he would have been amazing and taken his role very seriously. He absolutely was the King of Friendship, bound by love and loyalty, both running deep. A martyr, devoted beyond what anyone ever asked, until there was nothing left of him.
All these things are true. The words themselves are accurate.
But where were the words for her? Where were the words that told the world of his love for her?
-
Kiara is back, but that doesn’t mean she is whole. The others don’t know the full weight of what she left behind, or what she carried back with her. Pope and Cleo are trying to move forward, John B and Sarah are building a life for their daughter, but grief still clings to them all, a ghost in every room.Series
