in which julia makes gifs for her friends ☆ ↳ tidal by @faevaientine
Here’s the crux of it. Girls like Moe don’t know what to do with life when they finally get it. Mac was never going to be enough for her but she’s just loathe to realize it. Because it means admitting why she could never love Mac the way he deserves. It’s something she can’t even admit to herself.
Instead she buried it. Down, down, down.
And then, when her best friend John B sends them on a wild goose chase across Kildare to find the Royal Merchant gold the summer after his Dad vanishes, Moe thinks she might just be forced to dig her buried feelings for JJ up with it.

Mackenzie Hyde - Via John B. Routledge
Tumblr media
MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
SUMMARY: Decided to rewrite and introduce my OBX OC, Mazz (again). She for my potential fanfic called CICADA. (Which I'll probably never write but lemme know if you're interested lmao).
Character introduction from John B based on how he introduces the Pogues in the show.
WARNINGS: Inappropriate language, references to abuse, oc x canon, no face claim cause I'm picky.
Tumblr media
That's Mackenzie- Mazz, Mack, Kenzie, Hydie - whatever you wanna call her. She's my edgy, punk British cousin, but she's basically my sister. Born and bred in some shit hole tourist town in the UK, she moved to the Cut when she was like eight. Her Dad died from Pancreatic Cancer, and her Mom, my Aunt, wanted to be closer to family
Her older brother, Sol, became a living legend around here - a real anarchist type. A criminal, but a legend nonetheless.
Her Mom ended up dating some rich guy from Figure Eight, and she moved there for a while before she got dragged to the Main Land for a couple years. The guy ended up being a dick and shit hit the fan when Sol left, which is why she's living with me.
She's changed a lot from the sweet girl I was raised with; totally cutthroat- I guess she gets that from her brother. And I think she might be having a slight identity crisis.
One thing that's stayed consistent is her long time fued with JJ. Don't ask me when or how it started because I couldn't tell you. Hell, I don't think they even could, but they're always at each other's throats. Kie swears blind there's something else going on there, but I don't see it. Though I gotta say, sometimes I question if she's right - I mean, you should see how JJ looks at Mazz when he thinks no one's paying attention.
Tumblr media
Ik I've posted her before, but my idea has changed slightly since- and no one saw it anyway lol.
Anyway, if anyone knows any face claims that fit this vibe, lemme know :))

Lani Liu (+ JJ Maybank) in Half Hearted (so far) in Outer Banks, Season Two. (part 1, part 2)
"OK, so tell me something," he says. "Something deep." She snorts softly. "No." "Lani –" "You want deep?" she asks then, and he nods quickly. She bites her lip and returns a single nod. "OK. I like my coffee with lots of creamer. Eggs – scrambled with cheese. Mozzarella cheese. Water – ice cold. Tequila – with lime and salt –" "Wow," JJ says. "That's so deep. I feel like I know everything about you now." "You do. More than most."

𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐈𝐍𝐆  𝐌𝐘 𝐎𝐔𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐁𝐀𝐍𝐊𝐒 𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑, 𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐔𝐌 𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐊𝐀
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
❝ Unlike most of the kids on Kildare Island, Callum Tanaka had not lived there his whole life. His family had been coming to the island during the summer since before he was born, certainly, but for the first six years of his life, it had just been during the summer. As few as they were, he actually had childhood memories that didn’t take place on the island, ones that happened before his younger sister was born during one summer trip and his father had decided that that was a good enough reason to move the family there full-time because why not? His daughter had been born there, and it wasn’t as if they couldn’t afford it.
So Callum and his family had been permanent Kildare residents for the past ten years, and now the majority of Callum’s memories were of sneaking out his bedroom window to watch the sea at midnight, steering clear of fights between his fellow Figure Eight residents, or “Kooks,” and Kildare’s less well-off residents who called themselves “Pogues,” as much as possible, and memorizing which classrooms at school will be empty when so that he can have his panic attacks in peace. His best memories contain one Sarah Cameron, the girl who shared her lunch with him one day in fifth grade and has been his best friend ever since - but even those memories are becoming harder to make now that Sarah spends most of her time with her asshole boyfriend and the other popular kids.
Still, there is one more person in Callum's life that hasn't left him with bad memories... even if it's only because he doesn't even know Callum exists. JJ Maybank, a member of a group of so-called Pogues, a boy with golden hair and a smile like sunshine, has captivated Callum from the very first moment he saw him, but not only have they never actually interacted, Callum knows very clearly that JJ does not like Kooks. And so, for the past two years, Callum has had to content himself with watching JJ from afar, watching him having fun with his group of friends and trying to force himself to accept that the other boy's sunshine smile will never be directed at him.
But all of a sudden, Sarah is drawn closer to a Pogue named John B, wanting to help him and his friends uncover the mystery of a compass left behind by John B's missing father - and Callum, ever attached at the hip with Sarah, is being dragged along on this adventure as well. Not that he's really complaining, because it also gives him an opportunity to get closer to JJ... and maybe, finally, he can make some memories with this sunshine boy that are filled more with warmth and love than useless pining.
Except then they all get shot at. More than once. And now Callum's definitely complaining... but with JJ starting to look at him in a way that gives him goosebumps, probably not as much as he should be in a treasure hunt with life-or-death stakes. Oh well. ❞

When Summer Ends (1/?)
Topper Thornton x Maybank!Sister OC Nicky Maybank
Summary: Nicky Maybank, JJ’s older sister, just graduated.  Her summer break was supposed to be normal. Work, party, chill. But then she somehow Topper came into the mix. Fun little summer romance fic with the twist of a pogue navigating a relationship with a kook.  
A/N: First time writing for Outer Banks! This doesn’t really follow the canon storyline much at all and I’ve taken my own liberties like making Topper a year older in this fic. I’ve had this idea in my head forever and finally had the right motivation and inspiration to start writing! Hope you enjoy the start to this short multi-chap :) No taglist yet, but just let me know if you’d like to be added for the next parts. 
TW: All my fics are 18+. Mentions of alcohol, cursing.

“Nicky Maybank,” a voice slurred as she filled up her red solo cup at the keg. 
Her eyes traveled up from the tap to see the six foot tall blonde, sporting a billabong long sleeve shirt over cargo shorts. Her eyes moved back down to see the sperry boat shoes and a smile formed on her face before her eyes met back up with his. 
“Topper Thornton,” she casually said back as she handed him the keg tap. 
“What brings you here this fine evening,” he stumbled on his words, clearly drunk. 
Nicky smiled again as she brought the solo cup to her mouth, pretty much downing the beer she had just poured for herself.  
“Same thing as you, I’m sure,” she picked the tap back up from him to refill her cup. 
“Now if I was a concerned citizen, I might say you might be drinking too much, Nicky Maybank,” Topper said. 
“Well, I’m glad you’re not a concerned citizen,” she said, throwing the tap down to the ground since she was done, letting the leftover beer that was in the spout spit out onto Topper’s boat shoes. 
Topper took a step back throwing his hands up to avoid the spillage, causing Nicky to laugh under her breath a bit. 
“Yea, real nice,” Topper joined her in a laugh, which was unexpected. He was a kook and she was a pogue and this was the annual beginning of summer bonfire, while both crews were invited, they were likely not to intervene, let alone get along. 
“Why are you talkin’ to me, Top,” the girl used the nickname pretty much everyone around the island referred to him as. 
“It’s our last bonfire, we graduated, figured being pleasant wouldn’t cause any harm, but I guess I was wrong,” he shook his head. 
“You realize you’ve punched my brother at least 5 times, right?” she squinted her eyes at him waiting for a response. 
“Nick!!!” JJ’s voice called out amongst the crowd. 
“Speak of the devil,” Topper laughed sarcastically as JJ approached. 
“Nick,” he called out again to the girl, at a lower tone since he was now right behind her. His hand came out and lightly grabbed her left arm to get her attention. But before he could explain what he needed her for, he realized who she was talking to and looked Topper up and down with a frown. 
“Have a good night, Nicky Maybank,” Topper nodded and raised his cup up in a cheers before retreating away, still not taking his eyes off both of the Maybanks for another few seconds. 
“You good?” JJ questioned his older sister. Nicky didn’t break eye contact with Topper as she nodded her head and chugged the rest of her cup, throwing it into the bin that was in tossing reach. 
“Okay good, cause I made a bet that you could out time Peeler in a kegstand,” he said waiting her reaction. 
Nicky’s head turned now, after hearing her little brother’s words. “So you need me for the cash or the kegstand?” 
“Kegstand first, then maybe cash,” he smiled awkwardly. 
“What time I gotta beat?” Nicky asked with no way of telling if she was annoyed or not. 
“15 seconds,” JJ answered. 
Nicky practically choked on her laugh. “Tell Peeler it’s on.”
____________
Nicky’s eyes fluttered open, and from the minute they did the pain began to radiate throughout her head and her aching body. She looked around and realized she had crashed on the couch at her house. “JJ!” she called out. Almost instantly he was in front of her with his hand extended with two white pills with blue writing on them, advil. 
“Shouldn’t I be the one taking care of you?” she grabbed the pills and the beer that was next to her to wash them down. 
“Considering you used the little graduation money you got to pay for us to eat this week, I think handing you an Advil is the least I can do,” he walked to the fridge and pulled out milk and grabbed a box of cereal from on top of the fridge. 
“You want some?” he offered up the breakfast. 
“Yea, lucky charms,” Nicky rubbed her eyes trying to fully wake herself up. 
“Not me lucky charms,” JJ raised his voice multiple octaves to mimic the lucky charms commercial as he clutched the box to his chest before pouring his older sister a bowl. 
“What happened last night?” Nicky begrudgingly moved over to the kitchen. 
“You mean before or after you knocked Yvonne out,” JJ smiled as he inhaled his cereal. 
“You’re kidding me,” Nicky froze looking up at her brother. 
“Okay, knocked out is an exaggeration but you definitely got a solid shot to the face,” he chuckled. 
“Why?” she asked, closing her eyes trying to remember. 
JJ’s face dropped and he moved to put his bowl in the sink, letting it clatter. 
“She said something about dad, didn’t she?” Nicky said knowing it was the only reason she’d lose her cool. 
“Doesn’t matter, you’re done you’re out of here, you can kiss Kildare county goodbye, you’re goin’ to Julliard or Brevard.” JJ boasted. 
“You know I deferred a semester,” she said, not wanting to talk about her college plans. 
“Not sure why,” JJ grabbed his backpack as the girl dumped her half eaten bowl into the sink.
“Speaking of dad,” she quickly changed the subject, “still no sign of him?” 
“Don’t jinx it,” JJ retorted. 
“While I agree, I also would like for him to pay shit,” Nicky said, annoyed. 
“Like what?” JJ frowned. 
“Every month this person called our landlord comes to collect rent, and if we pay they lets us live here,” she grinned. 
“You just paid that,” JJ shook his head. 
“Yea, last month,” she sighed. “It’s fine I have a shift today at The Wreck and then at Heywards later this week so I can ask Anna and Heyward for an advance. They know I’m good for it,” Nicky thought through her plan. 
JJ looked stressed, like he wanted to help but wasn’t sure how. He knew things were rough for his sister. She took on the role of caretaker for him since they were kids. Their mother had left when they were both young, leaving their alcoholic, drug addict father in charge of them both, and as they got older the less involved he was. Which, in all honesty, despite Nicky’s comments and complaints, she much rather have had it this way because when Luke Maybank was around, things tended to get out of control. 
“So What are you up to today?” she quickly asked, changing the subject. 
“It’s the first day of summer baby!!!! What do you think we’re doing?” JJ yelled out. “Smoking beers and drinking weed!!!”
“I’ll be sure to stop by the chateau tonight,” Nicky said knowing that the group had a first day of summer tradition. 
“I’m out of here but I’ll see if there’s anything around town I could do to pick up some extra cash,” he said as he departed from the house. 
With that, Nicky got ready for her shift at The Wreck. Kie’s parents had been kind enough to give her a shot without any experience. Nicky wasn’t stupid she knew that The Carreras looked at her as a pity case, someone to feel sorry for, but she also knew that Richard Carrera had grown up on the Pogue side of town, and Anna still had fallen in love with him. She was pretty positive that she owed her for the chance that was given to her two years ago. 
Luckily, the restaurant wasn’t too packed, she had the afternoon shift where most people were out running errands, still hungover from the night before, or out on the water. But just as Nicky was thankful, a group of Kooks walked in. 
Kelce, Rafe, and Topper strutted into The Wreck not even letting the hostess seat them, just picking the patio seat like it belonged to them. 
“Play nice,” Anna’s voice said with a hint of a smile behind it.
“I always do,” Nicky matched her voice. 
“They’re your last table for the day anyway,” she closed the register and handed her a few menus to give to the guys. 
“Can I talk to you after my shift is over?” Nicky asked. The nerves caused her to feel clammy and anxious. She hated asking for money, she knew her family name was already enough to cause doubt and judgment around this town, and she didn’t need to add to it, but she was a 17 year old supporting her and her brother, and while not everyone grasped that concept, she knew Anna did. 
Anna nodded as her lips curled up to ease some of the tension she knew the girl felt. 
“When you finish up at their table just come find me.” 
____________
Kelce and Rafe were in rare condition, although to Nicky this was normal, but Topper could tell they were acting out more than usual. Dropping their napkins on the ground, tossing food around, spilling things, just making a mess and being difficult. 
“Can I get you guys anything else?” Nicky asked as she re-approached the table. 
“I don’t see you on the menu,” Rafe’s hand moved outwards to graze the girl’s exposed leg. 
Like a force of habit, she stepped back and swatted his hand away. 
“Now that’s no way to treat a paying customer,” Rafe said, now a little angry.
“Take your money and shove it, Rafe. And while you’re at it, go fuck yourself,” Nicky spat at the man before slapping their check on the table and retreating back to the bar. 
“No need to act crazy, Nicky!” Kelce called out but the girl ignored it. 
Topper said nothing just watched the two make more of a mess before they left. Noticing when they all got up they barely covered the bill for their food and left no tip for the girl. 
Nicky walked back up to the table with a sigh. She began stacking the dishes, the gross remnants of food sticking to her hands as she attempted a first pass of cleaning. She threw the dishes into the tub that the busboys usually held but today, since they were short staffed the job became hers. 
Nicky moved down to the ground to pick up the napkins and anything else they decided to discard on the ground. Her frustration was rising, this was demeaning to her and she was angry. 
“Hey, forgot to leave this for you,” Topper’s voice cut off Nicky’s thoughts. 
She moved to stand up forgetting the table was right above her and it collided with her head. Even though she was wearing a baseball hat, there might have well been nothing in between her head and the table with how hard she hit it. 
“Fuck,” she murmured as she maneuvered her way out. 
“You alright?” Topper leaned down trying to get eye level with her but she waved him off. 
“What do you want? Haven’t you reached your quota for being an asshole today? Or since it's the end of the month you gotta make up for the slow days?” 
“I just realized we forgot to leave this,” he went to place the $100 bill on the table but stopped when he saw there was really no place to put it since the table was disgusting. 
“No go for it, leave it there, it can be your parting trick to me, that oughta to earn you some clout, let’s see if Nicky will take the $100 bill that’s covered in already eaten food and gunk,” she rolled her eyes and threw the remaining cups into the tub. 
“Just keep your pity money, you didn’t have the balls to say shit when tweedle dee and tweedle dum were here, so don’t think you gotta clear your conscience now,” Nicky grabbed the grip of the tub at both ends and turned to face Topper. She stood there waiting for him to step aside, because she wasn’t going to add more work for herself. 
He nodded and moved so she could pass, but as she retreated to the back, Topper created a little contraption that held the money out of reach from the dirty table. Using straws from the table behind him, he created a little stick figure man, cutting a slit in the straw hand to hold the $100 bill and then in the other arm as well to hold a sign that read “sorry.” He placed the contraption on the napkin holder in the middle of the table and left, knowing it wasn’t worth arguing with the girl more, she was right, he and his friends had done enough. 
Nicky walked back to the table to finish up when she saw the masterpiece Topper had left. As much as she wanted to be angry, she appreciated his effort. She pocketed both the $100 bill and the straw figure before cleaning up the rest of the table. 
After she dumped the dirty rags and dishes into the kitchen, she washed her hands off not just of the stickiness but of the day. She had to go into her talk with Anna with a clear mind, not upset or frustrated. She took her apron off, hanging it where the dirty laundry went to get done and threw her sweatshirt over her work tee. She took a couple moments, staring into the warped mirror that stood a whopping 4’11 in the small locker room meant for the staff. She didn’t fit into the mirror, about 6 inches were cut off leaving the bottoms of her legs cut off as she stared into her own eyes. Taking one more deep breath she turned her brain off and just walked up to the manager’s office, giving the large wooden door a sturdy knock to announce her presence. 
“Come in,” her voice was sing-songy.  “Hey Nicky,” Anna smiled, “Sit please.”
Nicky sat in the barreled chair across the desk from Anna, who could tell the girl was nervous. 
“So what’s up?” Anna lead the conversation in a nonchalant tone, hoping to get the girl into a bit of comfortness. 
“You know how much I appreciate you giving me this opportunity, it’s honestly been such a huge help, and I– well, I hate that I even have to ask this but could I get an advance on my next paycheck? Rent’s due and I used my graduation money on dinner for me and JJ this week and–”
Anna reached over and grabbed the girl’s hand and squeezed. “You don’t need to explain yourself,” she gave one more squeeze and leaned back, opening the locked drawer with the pre-cut checkbook in it. 
“I know a lot of people in this town don’t know what your situation is at home, and I know you don’t want to tell them, it’s noble of you, but you work here 5 days out of the week, even though you don’t say much, I know Luke hasn’t been home in 2 months,” Anna replied looking up at the girl. 
Nicky said nothing. “You very much earned this already, you’re here early most days, you bus tables when we’re short staffed, and you even run errands for Richard when we’re low on stock,” Anna said as she filled out the check.
“That’s just because I work at Heywards, I have a connec–”
Anna cut the girl off again. “It’s because you’re a good person.” The check was being handed over. “Consider it a graduation bonus. You’ll still get your paycheck next week,” Anna leaned back. 
“I can’t accept this, Mrs. Carrero.” Nicky handed back the check. 
“You can. And you will. It’s not just for you. You’re taking care of your house and your brother, and as much as your brother ircks the living hell out of me,” she paused to chuckle, “you gotta take care of each other.” 
Nicky laughed and nodded, putting the check in her bag tucked away with the $100 bill she had gotten as a tip. 
“Thank you, seriously, you don’t know how much this means to me,” she said as she retreated out the door. “And for the record he ircks me too,” Nicky laughed. 
“Take the lunch rush leftovers home, they won’t do any good here for the dinner rush.” Anna called out to the girl. 
“Thank you times a million Mrs. C!” Nicky called back to her and grabbed the already packaged up food. 
She made her way to the beat up truck that was older than her that she shared with her brother. After she threw her bag and leftovers into the passenger seat and made her way to the driver side to get in, she heard some commotion over by the dock. Her attention averted over to where the noise was and to her surprise she saw Topper there struggling with a crabbing cage. 
Her brain went back and forth for a minute, wondering if she should go help him or let it be but she decided since he had gone out of his way to make up for earlier, she’d do the same. 
“Your chicken string is too short!” Nicky called out from the bed of her truck, pulling out bungee cables and walking over to the boy. 
“I never like using chicken string anyway, snags too much,” she said, grabbing the cage and putting the bungee cords on the corners of the cage. 
“I ran out of the string,” Topper shook his head, while he grabbed the other bungee clip and attached it to the cage. 
“What bait do you use?” Nicky tried to look into the cage to see what was in the wire trap.
“Chicken necks.” Topper held the bag up. 
“Not so bad,” she smiled and tossed the cage into the water. “You use some rank ass flounder and you’ll only have to wait 5, maybe 10 minutes before your cage is filled.” She offered up the advice. 
“Don’t really have any of that hangin’ around, you know,” he laughed. 
“Could just use the entire table you and your kook friends left behind, smells the same.”
Topper stopped laughing and re-situated himself, he averted his eyes out to the ocean and fiddled with something to fill the awkwardness.
“Thanks by the way, your gesture didn’t go unnoticed, when did you become so crafty Mr. Thornton,” Nicky tried to break the awkwardness, and it worked. 
Topper chuckled, “Long story,” he shook his head. 
“Well luckily, you chose chicken necks to catch crabs so we’ll be here for at least 30 minutes,” she laughed and threw her legs over the dock. 
Topper looked over and frowned at the girl getting comfortable and clearly expecting him to tell his story. 
“My sister, she’s 12 and loves to make weird crap,” he shrugged.
“I thought it was a long story,” Nicky’s eyebrows raised. 
“It’s not really what I like to lead with, you know,” he paused and lifted his hands, “ hey I do arts and crafts with my little sister,” he mocked himself. 
“I still play the ground is lava with JJ so I see no issue,” Nicky grinned as Topper’s face went into a huge smile, knowing he now had a bit of dirt on the boy he quite often had issues with. Nicky could read his intention and directed daggers from her eyes at him. “And don’t you dare use that against him or I’ll use you for crab bait,” she pointed at him. 
“Aright alright, we each have a secret to keep to the grave,” Topper raised his hands in innocence. 
“So why are you out here on a Thursday night, the first night of summer vacation, crabbing?” she leaned her back against the wooden column that held up the short boardwalk they were on.
“You ask a lot of questions, you know that?” Topper looked over at her but Nicky didn’t respond, just waited for him to answer. 
“It’s seafood night.”
“Why not just go to Heyward’s?” Nicky responded without missing a beat. 
Topper motioned his hands to the ocean in front of him, as if it was obvious. 
“Yea, Heyward gets his seafood from the same place, I know, I’m out on the boats with him,” she shook her head. 
“You know,” he paused for a minute,  “fresh is best,” he looked over at the blonde. “And this is how I get fresh.” Topper paused wondering if he was going to get into the full story with someone he barely knew, and he decided against it, biting his tongue. 
“I’ll pull the story out of you one day,” she smiled and began to readjust herself. Sitting on her legs as she moved to pull the cage out of the water. There were about 8 crabs inside, 3 of them were clearly too small but the others were decent sized. 
“Thanks for saving seafood night,” Topper smiled as he threw the crabs into the cooler he had. 
“Anytime,” Nicky awkwardly stood up, she could tell their little moment together was over so she began to walk back to her car. 
“Your bungees!” Topper called out to her, waving them in the air. 
“I got plenty, don't worry about it, keep it for future seafood nights!” she called back to him. Just as she was about to get back in her truck she froze, the thought came to her and she tried to push it away but no such luck. Before her brain could even comprehend what she was thinking, her feet were walking back toward him on the dock. 
“I can show you a way better place to go crabbing, bigger shells, longer legs,” she was now mentally scolding herself. This was Topper Thornton, her brother's biggest rival, king kook, and she was inviting him to her private fishing spot. 
“Yea, I’d actually love that,” Topper agreed without hesitancy, “when did you have in mind?” he now felt awkward. 
Nicky thought for a minute. Her schedule running through her head along with the final thought that she could still back out, make up an excuse right now, or give a day weeks from now and just let it come and go. 
But then the words escaped from her mouth. 
“Tomorrow.”

Annnddd this is Danny

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
She’s kinda the leader of our group, so we call her Captain, or Cap for short.
She’s really creative— into all kinds of art stuff. She’s basically the next Van Gough. Yenno, without the whole going mad and cutting off your own ear part.
But her parents are pretty much legends on The Cut. Her dad owns a small bait shop and teaches surfing lessons to Kooks as a side hustle. Her mom? She was my dad’s partner in crime. She died two years ago in a car crash. It kinda shook us all.
Anyway, Danny’s been apart of the group since diapers— actually, the group started with me and Danny.
She smart. And strong. And doesn’t take shit from anyone. She’s the best at rollin’ J’s, cookin’ pancakes, and surfing. (but don’t tell JJ I said that) She prefers to skate everywhere and is kind of a hothead, in the best way.
She’s blood.
She’s loyal.
She's brave.
She’s a Pogue.
