SECRETS IN SHELLS.

❝To friendship, every burden's light.❞

─────❀*̥˚──────❀*̥˚────

EDEN CALLOWAY had always been a true Pogue, through and through, her roots deep in the grit of the Outer Banks. For sixteen years, the island had been her domain, her territory—no matter how many of the stinking-rich, snotty Kooks tried to claim it for themselves.

But as life does it flips your life upside down and, to Eden, hurricanes were as much a part of life as the salty air and endless waves. People in the Outer Banks learned to rebuild, to bounce back faster than the storms that knocked them down. But when she and her tight-knit group of friends stumble upon a capsized boat in the aftermath of the latest hurricane, their luck takes a dark turn. What should've been a quick investigation spirals into a tangle of threats and secrets that force them to cling to each other tighter than ever before, becoming each other's lifelines in ways they'd never imagined.

Complicating everything is the unexpected return of Avery Hawthorne. Once Eden's closest friend from the Kook side of town, Avery left for New York years ago, leaving the Outer Banks—and Eden—behind. Now she's back, reappearing in Eden's life just as things start to unravel. As the two former friends navigate their complicated, half-broken bond, they're pulled into a dangerous journey to uncover secrets that the storm has dragged ashore. But some things are better left buried, and the deeper they dig, the riskier their discoveries become.

❀*̥˚AUTHORS NOTE:

─── Did I binge season 1 of obx in a day? Yes. 

It's an actual problem that I can't watch a show without embedding my own storyline and characters into it. Every single show I watch now I grab my notebook and start jotting down my own little world. This fanfic hobby of mine is making me spend my money on cute notebooks. (only complaining about the money loss.) 

I really wanted to write a kook!oc x Kiara because I love the idea of how complicated and messy that would be AND I also wanted to write a friends to lovers with JJ (because I'm a sucker for soft romance)

Plus the urge to write a complicated long distance friendship and this is the result. sooooo enjoy! 

If anyone wants a dt please let me know!!
