[ THIS IS ME TRYING / CASSIE MAYBANK ]

          After a year away at Kitty Hawk, Cassie Maybank returns to the Outerbanks with a determination to get her life back on track. To stay healthy, to make her own friends, to live a normal, steady life like every teenage girl should. But after hearing the news of the passing of one of her closest friends, and coming back to the island, she realizes her brother's letters severely underestimated how much had truly changed.

A lot can happen in a year.
Friends become strangers, brothers become liars. Some enemies become allies, some enemies become lovers.

"she is lemon poppyseed, and strawberry matcha. she is old country music, and straight to dvd rom-coms. she is cashmere and silk. she is curiosity, kindness, and rain."

A/N!
hi again! ik i said i'd start this after i finished Looks That Kill (my other rafe fic) but i've gotten so bored with it lol sorry <3 i told myself it'd be a short fic with little to no complexities but i think that's y i'm so unhappy with it ?? so first let me tell u what this fic is not going to be:

it is not going to be an immediately h*rny off the bad fic, i tagged slowburn and i mean slowburn 🫶. i searched and searched for rafe fics the other day and couldn't find any that didn't read like they were written by a thirteen year old, or weren't just full on porn in the first chapter (happy 4 u tho🙏🏼) (also i'm taking rafe fic recommendations always) so i was like damn. guess i have to take matters into my own hands smh👩‍💻 so here w r. if ur here for smut in the first chapter i'm sorry to disappoint but i luvvvv to make u all miserable!! it'll happen just practice patience❤️

i am having my obx summer rn sooo just bare w me. rafe is on my mind ALWAYS. i'll try and get updates out as much as i can, but i also have a full-time internship this summer so that takes up a lot of my time/energy !! but i'll keep u all posted on that kinda stuff.

as always, if you've read my other work u probably know my bsf carly geminivvvv  who makes edits of my fics on her tiktok (@/geminivvvv) for me since i'm a Hag and don't have an account — so expect some edits of this book on there and just good edits in general. that's Mother.

anyways, hope u enjoy! i'll also be updating this on ao3 if u prefer to read there (@/inslaytiable)
