Hello! 

If you weren't aware, this is an 𝕆𝕦𝕥𝕖𝕣 𝔹𝕒𝕟𝕜𝕤 𝔸𝕌. It is still set during the summer, with two key differences. There is no treasure hunt, and Teddy Routledge didn't leave OBX until two weeks before the end of the school year. This is basically my rendition of how their summer would have been like if you took out gold and DCS and replaced it with a female Maybank. 

Now. I cannot guarantee this is gonna be any good. This is my first time attempting an AU and it is also the first time I've written for a series that is not finished, let alone only having a single season. I like details. I don't have a lot of details I would like, but I'm absolutely smitten with this show and its characters, so I said fuck it. Here's to hoping this will turn out well enough to respect my babies. 🙏

If anything is different from canon it is because this is an AU, not to mention my own story, and I either changed it or there wasn't enough info in the first season so I made my own. (i.e. how long the Pogues have known each other.) 

In regards to the playlist: there is a link to my Spotify in my bio. I'd listen to this and any of my playlists on shuffle cus just..yeah. There's no specific way to listen to them. I will also be adding songs as I write this. 

Alright, first off, all the credit for this book even becoming a reality goes to WILDFLOWERLUKE. Bitch was the catalyst for me even watching OBX and then triggered a book idea, so... Not only should you praise her being for the almighty queen she is, you should also fr go be friends with her and read her books and check out her graphic shop because she is amazing and so is her work. ☺☺☺ Love you boo boo 😘😘😘

Secondly, go love on newttheimmune / stilesmccalls. She is my wonderful friend, sister, and editor. (Btw, I didn't tell you, but you don't need to edit this one. I thought you'd like to just read and enjoy it lmao.) 

Thirdly, my baby bean Angel_Winchester_03. My beautiful Latvian princess of whom you should all adore. She's fr one of the best people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing and you should go appreciate her. 

And fourthly, the lovely banner of the ship known as 'Joker' is made by -LEODICAPRIOS. You should totally go check out her graphic shop and her books because she's super talented. Also, follow her cus she's super awesome and sweet. 

I really hope you all enjoy this, even if it's shit. I know it's in high demand right now lol

What if John B's uncle didn't leave until late May? What if there was no treasure hunt, and instead, the Pogues of OBX had a summer filled with parties and Kook drama? What if JJ Maybank had a twin sister? What if?

ᴅɪꜱᴄʟᴀɪᴍᴇʀ: I do NOT own any plot taken from Outer Banks, only my own. I do NOT own any characters other than CJ Maybank. I do NOT own any lines/quotes taken from OBX or elsewhere, only the ones I made (including the ones for pre-existing characters.) I do NOT own any pictures, gifs, or videos unless otherwise stated. (I own the cover for this book but NOT the individual pictures used to make it.) Alright, I think that covers it
