some thoughts about drew giving obx actress!reader princess treatment

ok fr drew is the best boyfriend, like to the point of being almost overbearing. he's always so attentive to obx actress!reader, making sure she's happy, fed, comfortable, etc. sometimes he feels like he was put on the earth to be by her side. he's also sooooo touchy and affectionate (not that he wasn't before when they were 'just friends'). everytime any fans snap a picture of them on the street he has an arm around her shoulder, a hand clasped tightly with hers, or the absolute fan favourite, a hand in the back pocket of her jeans. and it's like that allllllllllll the time. drew literally refuses to be physically separated from her if they're in the same vicinity.

drew does feel bad for how long it took for the two to get together, but also obx actress!reader doesn't hold it against him - they both were part of the reason it took literal years to be a couple. their family and friends are just so glad that they don't have to watch them pine over each other anymore. drew's parents literally cry when she turns up at christmas as his gf this time, not just his best friend.

some things he does for her as part of the princess treatment:

picks up her favourite food or drink on the way home from set

does face masks with her

100% gives her foot massages after a long day

scalp massages!!!!

always walks on the side of the path closest to the road

randomly texts her cute little messages

never uses his instagram unless its to repost a story of her winning an award or to promote her new work

this man is just a puppy around his girl, big doe eyes looking at her whenever she talks

likes to trail behind her as they walk through crowds, firmly holding onto her hand

side note: if anyone hits on her (or even looks at her in the wrong way) in front of him, drew fully adopts a rafe-esque glare and scares them off, only to look at obx actress!reader innocently as she looks at him confused

so sorry to the anon who requested this as i lost the request in my inbox but here you go! enjoy!!!

obx actress!reader winning an award for best actress and going up to the stage, ready to give her speech. the cameras already captured her and Drew sitting by each others side and the tight hug he gave her as her name was called as the winner. the cameras also caught the big kiss he gave her, along with his lips moving as he told her “I’m so proud of you baby.”

she’s up on the stage giving her speech, about to wrap up when she takes a deep breath, turning to find drew in the crowd. she’d already thanked the directors and the crew and her parents, but now it was his turn.

“And to my Joey, I love you. Thank you for always being by my side, for always encouraging me to take risks and for being the most supportive person in my life. Everyday I get to spend with you is a gift and I will never be able to explain to you how much you mean to me. I love you and thank you.”

all in the crowd could be seen smiling widely, some close with the couple even getting teary eyed. drew and obx!actress reader had become somewhat of a hollywood darling couple, with many eager to see them succeed and remain together. it was rare to see a couple like them, so purely in love and sharing a deep respect and friendship with each other. in a culture of quick marriages and divorces, many held different hopes for these two.

as obx actress!reader returned to her seat, all eyes were on her as she flung herself into the open arms of a now-standing drew. it was clear to see that she had begun to cry as he gently stroked her back, bringing her back to her prior seated position.

for the remainder of the night, the screens would occasionally flicker back over to the couple, showcasing their intertwined hands and their in-love smiles. more than a few headlines the next day spoke of the young couple and the newly discovered nickname given to drew.

I upset myself with this one bc what do you mean this isn’t real life???

obx actress!reader who posts a clip on her instagram story of drew dancing with their little girl - both having taken time off filming to spend with their young daughter - and his joyous nature capturing the attention of viewers through the screen. most viewers reacted by sending hearts and sweet comments, all fangirling over drew with a baby, but it was one viewer who sent a message to her and her response that sent the fandom into a spiral.

her story had been up for almost 24 hours when a second story followed, the screenshot showcasing a message from what appeared to be an old man. when his friends and even his sisters start to message him teasingly, drew is just so confused until his sister sends him a screenshot of the interaction. queue a blushing drew looking at obx actress!reader shyly, only for her to grin and peck his cheek.

"you're my princess, baby."

Hello! First let me tell you that I love your work! Can't wait to read what else you have in store for your characters.

Second, I ran to a snag when accessing your obx-actressreader masterlist. Everytime I clicked on one of the posts it sent me back to this page. I linked the page below.

https://shrimpybbq.tumblr.com/post/767077946259308544/ugh-this-is-so-the-post-that-obx-actressreader

Not sure if it is just me or if it's just my laptop acting up. Just wanted to bring it to your attention.

hey! i'm not sure what's happened but i've checked and it's working on my end? i checked on my laptop and my phone too so i'm unsure what's happened.

How long have Drew Starkey and actress!reader been together like officially dating?

What a great question haha! Ok so I’m thinking that they got super flirty and were clearly super into each other around the filming of s2, but I don’t think that they started officially dating until the filming of Between the Lines (which I think probably happened right after s5 finished up filming, maybe like mid-2025) so I want to say that by the premiere of s5 they’re dating? Officially dating and telling their friends and family, but probably not out to the public yet. By s2 premiere of Between the Lines they’re dating publically.

I fully picture them as pulling a Tom and Zendaya and obx actress!reader just shows up to a red carpet one day with a big rock on her finger and everyone is freaking out. They’ve been pretty casual about their relationship but what they do share has people obsessed and fans can’t help but adore the way they casually announced their engagement.

So:

S1: friends

S2-4: friends but also both want to be more, lots of tender shared moments but nothing eventuates

S5: definitely almost there and they’ve both just been cast in their new show

Between the Lines S1: start dating bc the tension is just toooooo much

Between the Lines S2: publically dating

(Ok but don’t hold me to this bc I might change my mind)

Hello! Feel free to ignore this if you’re not familiar with Mötley Crüe, but can I request a fluffy Drew Starkey one-shot that takes place during the filming of season 1 of Outer Banks? The female reader is the twin sister of Nikki Sixx’s son Decker (younger by 10 minutes). She’s a makeup artist and she’s part of the show’s crew. She’s dating Drew and she’s friends with Chase, Madelyn, Rudy, Jonathan, Madison, and Austin. One day, she brings Nikki, Decker, her brother Gunner, her sister Storm, her half sister Frankie, Nikki’s wife Courtney, and Nikki and Courtney’s daughter Ruby to visit the set so they can meet them and they’re excited but also a bit nervous because her dad is in one of the world’s biggest rock bands. I imagine they would be gushing over how cute Ruby is. Ruby was born on July 27, 2019, so she would be roughly a year old in this. 

Hi! I’m not familiar with the band so it might be best to send this to someone else, sorry!

the cameron's go golfing

synopsis: Rafe teaches Charlie how to play golf, and to everyone's surprise, he is incredibly patient and gentle

On a pleasant spring day, the Cameron family sauntered out onto the Kildare Island golf course, spending the weekend together doing a new activity. New for everyone bar Rafe, that is. Rafe loved golf, and often spent his weekends on the grass doing his best to clear his mind and wipe away the frustrations of dealing with his business partners and their dull chatter. He usually ended up there with Topper and the pair would aimlessly talk shit for a while before ending up at the country club bar with a beer in hand. This weekend was proving to be different, however.

“C’mon buddy, out you go,” Rafe mumbled as he lifted Charlie down from the golf buggy. The small boy was dressed in what was almost a miniature version of his father’s outfit - a pair of khaki shorts and a blue polo shirt, with a pair of white shoes to match. Rafe had rolled his eyes at the sight at first, but later begged his wife to take a picture of the pair matching. The father and son headed towards their starting marker, eagerly watched by the other members of their family. High school gf!reader sat comfortably in the buggy as a sleeping Emmy rested firmly against her chest. She had played golf more than once with Rafe, but today she felt more than happy to watch rather than join in. Even though she had no intent to join the game Rafe had still insisted she wear the golfing outfit he had bought her months ago, demanding that she show him the short white dress. Seeing his pretty wife in such a flattering outfit had certainly put him in a good mood, and if they had not already booked a cart they would’ve arrived later to the course than expected.

Rafe stood with Charlie, placing the tiny club into his hand. He was only 3 but Rafe had purchased the clubs a year ago and was finally glad to have his son practice and experience them. “Ok little man, so you have to stand like this, facing the side. Plant your feet apart like this,” he instructed, making sure Charlie mimicked his actions, “and hold your club up the top.” Watching the boy struggle to figure out his positioning spurred Rafe into action, crouching down by his son’s side and gently repositioning his body into the perfect stance. “There you go buddy, does that feel ok?”.

Charlie nodded eagerly towards his father, his full cheeks pulling into a wide grin. Rafe returned the smile and gestured for him to watch again, “Daddy’s gonna show you how to do it, and then you have a go.” With that, he lined up his shot and with a moment of silence, sent the golf ball flying across the course towards the hole. The loud cheers and squeals that Charlie let out caught the attention of nearby players, one of them being none other than Topper Thornton. As he watched the way Rafe returned to his former crouched position beside his mini-me, he couldn’t help but be surprised. Rafe was a tough guy, or at least that was the act he put on, and even though he had embraced being a father the past two years, he wasn’t known for being an overly soft or affectionate guy. So to see him coddle and nurture his son was almost jarring to his friend, not ever having known Rafe to be patient or gentle with anyone.

Topper watched as the little boy swung and to everyone’s delight the ball travelled a substantial amount. The squeals of joy were again heard but this time, even Rafe let out a cheer. Topper’s attention moved to the figures in the golf buggy, seeing high school gf!reader and Emmy seated comfortably. He almost envied the small family his friend now had, wondering what it would be like to have someone so steadfast by his side. Another cheer broke his thought process, this time seeing Rafe put the ball into the hole, all while Charlie clung to his father’s pant leg. Another two attempts from Charlie had the ball landing in the hole, prompting his mother to clap and shout loudly, “Go Charlie! Great job!”.

All watched as Rafe picked him up swiftly, letting him settle firmly into his arms. As Rafe looked down at his carbon-copy, he couldn’t help but feel so proud of his boy. It had happened before, like when he first walked and talked, but every time his son achieved a milestone his heart just felt so full and like it could explode at any moment. At first it had scared him (and sometimes it still did) but now it reminded him of how far he had come, and how every decision he had made to get to this spot was worth it to be with his family.

“You did great, little man. You’re gonna be a great golfer like daddy, just you wait,” Rafe praised.

Their attention was dragged back towards the golf cart as high school gf!reader called them back, the engine already on in preparation of moving to the next hole. “C’mon, let’s go see your sister again.”

Still watching, Topper could only marvel at the sight of ‘family man’ Rafe Cameron. His friend had really transformed for the better and even if he would give him a hard time for it next time they saw each other, he was secretly glad. Rafe had found his people and that made all the difference in who he was.

This has been sitting in my requests for ages but I finally found the motivation to write it! Imagining Rafe being like this makes my heart swell.

[shrimpybbq]

wrote something related to this to be posted in the next few days and I’ve upset myself bc what do you mean he’s not my man???

obx actress!reader calls drew 'joey' whenever she wants to tease him, only for him to grow so fond of the nickname that he timidly asks her to call him 'joey' more often

[shrimpybbq]

Imagine the four of them hanging out at the golf course !!! Rafe is teaching Charlie how to play golf and no one can believe how patient and gentle Rafe is

coming out tomorrow my queen, sorry for the delay. ❤️

a timeline of rafe cameron and obx actress!reader’s character’s relationship (+ their real life one) pt 2

season 2: the yearning

season 2 is where rafe's obsession with iris really grows

he's constantly wondering about her, and how she feels about him. he's so convinced that she hates him and will never speak to him again, but he has this feeling that she won't report him

after john b and sarah 'died', iris spends more of her free time with the pogues. she comforts jj, and often seems to end up bailing him out of trouble

but they don't know that rafe's managed to get her phone number, and he keeps sending her messages trying to explain what happened on the tarmac - she doesn't respond

he even tries to go to her work, but she's not working that day

as rafe spirals, he genuinely feels she's the only one who would be able to understand him

he messages her before he goes to the bahamas

r: "hey, i'm gonna be gone for a few days, but i still really need to talk to you, ok?"

r: "please, i need to explain"

r: "just give me a chance to explain"

r: "please"

iris has him under his first initial in her phone, just in case any of the pogues happen to see her notifications. finally, she decides to respond, if only to understand more (and to get him to stop texting her)

i: "ok"

rafe literally shouts with joy seeing her response, no matter how dry it is. she's finally acknowledged him

while he's away, iris goes to see barry. her mom has been getting worse, and in a way, barry understands what she's going through. he's surprisingly good to talk to and the pair end up smoking together more than once, venting about their lives

in his deluded state, rafe truly thinks he will be able to win iris over with the gold. he's dreaming about paying for her mom's medical bills, winning her favour and looking after iris, living their happy little lives together forever

iris and rafe finally talk at tannyhill, rafe pleading that he was just trying to protect his dad. surprisingly, she listens intently, and lets out some small 'hmms' and 'mhms'. they get back to neutral ground, though she's still torn between what to do, but inside, she knows rafe shouldn't go to prison for a mistake

side note: ward oversees the pair talking, noting his son's wildly erratic hand gestures and decides to keep an eye on whatever is going on between the two

they're good for a few days, and then the pogues return to kildare with a very much alive sarah and john b, and everything changes once again

iris was so busy working that she hadn't had much to do with the gang, until jj texts her that john b had been arrested, and that rafe had tried to shoot them all - safe to say she's disappointed

oh but she's so mad when she hears of him trying to drown sarah, and she fully ices him out again

rafe kidnapping iris was not his finest idea, but she won’t listen to him after she hears and he’s just so mad. he’s got her in his car on the side of the road, just trying to get her to listen but she keeps telling him she “knows what he did”

rafe doesn't register what he's done until the sound of her sobs cut through his internal monologue, shamefully apologising and dropping her home, not even trying to say anything more

he’s just mean mean mean in this season bc he's hurt, but also he wants iris so bad and when she won’t even look at him, he can't control his actions

iris hears from the pogues that there is a warrant for his arrest and can't help feel concerned for him, only to be both shocked and concerned at the sight of ward cameron blowing himself up, her being the one to console sarah on the pier

everything is awkward between the pogues now, but it only gets worse once they see the texts on iris's phone following rafe's release from jail, him asking to see her...

they completely shut her out, refusing to even speak to her, and it only serves to push her further into rafe's (extremely willing) arms

he wants her to stay with him for the next few days, unknowingly about to bring her into all the drama with the cross

iris and rafe end up kissing for the first time just before he manages to get the cross for himself, and from then on, it's on between them - they're all over each other. think making out against the wall, in bed, on the couch

they both understand each other, able to see through the tough facade they put on and be vulnerable around each other. at their core, they’re just two hurt kids clinging on to each other

rafe literally thinks he will combust if she ever tries to leave him after he got a taste

unfortunately for him, he tries to get her to come along with him to guadeloupe, but she refuses

"Rafe, I can't leave my mom…. she can't survive without me," Iris whispered.

"No, no, c'mon, we can go together and I'll make sure she's got a carer and everything, the best medical treatment, ok? I just - I just need you with me for this," Rafe pleaded, desperation seeping through his tone.

"I'm sorry Rafe, but I can't."

and just like that, the beginnings of their relationship crumble, leaving rafe feeling betrayed, hurt and angry, spiralling as he lost something he barely had, and leaving iris all alone on kildare once the pogues get lost at sea, vulnerable and hurting

season 2: behind the scenes

heheheheehhehe

season 2 is where rafe and iris get closer, and the flow on effects are felt between drew and obx actress!reader

the kisses they share on screen are so steamy it has fans freaking out, especially at the quick glimpses they get of their tongues melding together. even people from outside the fandom start resharing videos of the kiss with hashtags like #wantthis #hot #menext

like i'm talking hands in hair and 'rafe' gripping her waist like he's about to be torn away, pulling away panting, red lips, etc.

drew and obx actress!reader had both spent time looking forward to the kiss, each secretly reminiscing on the kiss at jd's party. neither objected when they had to redo the take multiple times

the lingering touches shared between their characters are also picked up on, with rafe often touching iris and keeping her close by the end of the season

drew and obx actress!reader spent more time together this season working to develop their relationship after the directors told them more of the series plans, growing their bond even more

the attention on season 2 is greater this time around, with more fans and more people interested in the actors personal lives

obx actress!reader posts a few behind the scenes pictures, but nothing that really gets tongues wagging

it's a picture posted by madison bailey that does, with drew and obx actress!reader lying next to each other on a yacht, the pair side by side as they appear deep in conversation. fans go crazy from all angles, from the tiny bikini she was wearing to drew only in his swim trunks

the pics of them getting clingy and touchy later on in the evening don't ever make it out however….

the cast just sigh, having flashbacks to the 'friendly kisses' the pair always seem to share after a few drinks

in interviews, fans learn of obx actress!reader spending christmas at drew's and they just go wild, convinced the pair are in a secret relationship

with rafe and iris becoming more important characters in season 2, interviewers are lining up to film with the two of them alone, and for the few that manage, the views on the clip are sky high

it's literally just drew and obx actress!reader flirting and giggling the whole time with each other

obx actress!reader 100% simps for drew, complimenting his new look to the interviewer and saying he looks so handsome. drew can only blush and look down at his hands, all shy and cute

ok but lets talk about the bloopers!

it's the scene where they're in the car, rafe begging iris to listen to him after trying to drown sarah, and drew is waving his hands around wildly and accidentally hits her in the head. drew is instantly all over her, tenderly brushing her hair away from her head, checking in on her and apologising so much. it's quiet, but the microphones pick up on drew whispering "are you ok, baby? 'm so sorry"

but yet, they're not in a relationship??? and then drew starts filming hellraiser and people become convinced he's dating odessa??? and everyone is just so confused (including drew and obx actress!reader)

but then? there's pictures posted by paparazzi of drew and obx actress!reader together in new york, seeming far too close to be platonic and cuddling up against each other? queue even more confused fans

hehehe

Q: if i were to give obx actress!reader a love interest to spice things up and build some more angst, who would you want to see???

[shrimpybbq]

ugh im obsessed with between the lines! can we perhaps see more??

I haven’t got any ideas for scenes from the show rn but I’m open to writing more! I find this series takes a lot of planning and care which takes longer, but I do enjoy writing it.

[shrimpybbq]

Hello!! You once said that Rafe was the first person high school gf had sex with

So I was wondering... Did Rafe have sex with many people before her? And did he cheat on her? When he spent his nights partying, were there any women with him?

Hmmm. I think definitely Rafe did have sex before her, but it wasn’t really fulfilling for him or whoever his partner was for the night, and never with feelings or sentiments attached. Maybe like 3 or 4 random hookups before he got with highschool gf, but also he probably hooked up with some of the same girls a few times at parties as well? Never gave head though and only really made an attempt at rubbing the clit before just sticking it in. Highschool gf was the one who had to show him how to slow down and actually focus.

No to cheating. Rafe is an obsessive person and I think he also wants to feel like his partner is obsessed with him too. He wants to burrow himself so deeply into highschool gf’s conscious and her life that he doesn’t even have thoughts of cheating. Like he’s crazy for her, even in s1 and s2 where he’s absolutely awful. If she looked at another guy or flirted he would go insane bc she’s his and he is her’s - she has to understand that.

Ok so regarding if he parties with other women, I do think it’s a yes. Once he’s high he probably lets them sit on his lap, maybe do a bump off his hand. He doesn’t dance with them or anything, and if they try and make a move on him he just rolls his eyes and scoffs. I mentioned ages ago that he’s loyal, but that he still enjoys attention and girls thinking he’s attractive. Like s1 Rafe is partying while his gf is looking after a crying baby and he’s not worried or guilty, but he still doesn’t want to fuck someone that’s not her. It makes sense to him in his twisted brain.

I literally LOVE the series with actress!reader and drew in the hbo series, and Im really interested in the plot but like if we could have an insight on pedro's character relationship with Clara, im speculating and its giving one sided love, like i feel his character is kinda in love with clara but in a dark obsesive way

ok for real though would people be interested in me just writing a little thing for her and Pedro/clara and José? bc I’ve been putting it off thinking no one would be interested bc Drew isn’t in it

it's the scene where they're in the car, rafe begging iris to listen to him after trying to drown sarah, and drew is waving his hands around wildly and accidentally hits her in the head. drew is instantly all over her, tenderly brushing her hair away from her head, checking in on her and apologising so much. it's quiet, but the microphones pick up on drew whispering "are you ok, baby? 'm so sorry"

but yet, they're not in a relationship??? and then drew starts filming hellraiser and people become convinced he's dating odessa??? and everyone is just so confused (including drew and obx actress!reader)

but then? there's pictures posted by paparazzi of drew and obx actress!reader together in new york, seeming far too close to be platonic and cuddling up against each other? queue even more confused fans

hehehe

Q: if i were to give obx actress!reader a love interest to spice things up and build some more angst, who would you want to see???

ok so after some explanations, here are my thoughts.

Drew and obx actress!reader get spotted in theatres so much that fans begin to dig for their letterboxd handles, desperate to see what they rate as their favourite movies. Drew spoke about his favourite films before, referencing these ultra niche films and highlighting really artsy films. It’s not until someone goes down the rabbit hole of his families letterboxd that they finally find Drew’s, and as such, obx actress!reader’s. Their reviews are better than anyone had hoped for. They both have a few serious reviews, but most of their comments have fans laughing their heads off, not used to seeing them comment so freely.

@starkeynakedd

Shrek 1: “a classic love story that should inspire all to look past barriers. also to never discount a donkey.”

Little Women: “timmy tim strikes again, this time, in period costume and breaking girls hearts.”

Babygirl: “kinky. giving me and the gf new ideas fr”

@y/nfromtheblock

It: “tall sexy clown daddy”

Gladiator 2: “showing that sometimes trauma is your brother in a red wig”

Queer: “nerdy blonde man gets a good dicking and I watched the whole thing”

A little while later, an interviewer shows Drew some of the reviews that were uncovered and he can only blush.

“No, uh, she helped me write some of those… she said I wasn’t going to make any friends on the platform if I didn’t write the same way she does. So I let her give me some advice,” Drew stated, letting out a nervous laugh, “she definitely has more connections on there than I do.”

thank you to everyone who helped educate me haha ily ❤️

thinking about actress!reader & drew always being pictured in theatres together & everyone wanting to find their letterboxd lmao

ok can someone pls explain letterboxd to me. is it just like a movie rating platform?? i’ve seen the interviews but im still confused
