hi!!! i hope everyone is doing well. i’m so sorry for not posting in like ages lmao. writers block is actually kicking my ass for the last few weeks so i’ve literally just wrote this to try and get something out. if it’s bad, im sorry!!!

ALSO!!! thank you for 100 followers!!! your support is super appreciated and i love every single one of you!!!

─ ⊹ ⊱ ☆ ⊰ ⊹ ─

the sun was glowing over the kildare county. the last few days had been the hottest ones of the season so far, and from what weather predictions had been reporting, it was only meant to be getting hotter.

you, sarah and kiara were all laying on your towels, the sand being too hot to lay on like yous usually did. the three of you laying there with your bikinis on, sunglasses covering your eyes and soaking up the sun. you enjoyed this time with your girls, you got some peace and quiet from the complete chaos the boys brought.

“BABE! look at this really cool trick me and JB can do,” the sound of your boyfriends voice attracting your attention. sitting up, along with sarah to watch what your two boyfriends could possibly be doing.

“this really isn’t going to go well, is it?” sarah whispered over to you, both of you staring intently at the two boys trying to do a backflip trick. you look over to her slightly, giggling at what she said, “this definitely is not going to go well. either one or both of them gets hurt.” you reply, your voice full of love as you turn your head back to the two boys.

“20 bucks it’ll be JJ who gets hurt”, kiara speaks up from the other side of you, she sits up to watch the boys. you and sarah let out a quiet laugh at kiaras comment, watching as the two of them get into position to try the trick again.

the two boys were standing with their backs together, walking away from each other a few feet, just to start doing back flips towards each other. what they didn’t realise however, was the fact that they were backflipping right into each other. so when they both collided and flipped over each other, you weren’t surprised to hear a few groans and moans from the boys.

kiaras laugh pierced the air, you and sarah looking over to her just to see her wiping her eyes to remove the tears in her eyes, her chest heaving up and down as she tried to regain her breath as she continued laughing. you couldn’t help but look back over to the boys, who were still laying in the wet sand, groaning as the tide covered their bodies with salt water, and laugh. quiet frankly, nearly peeing yourself from how much you were laughing at the site. you and kiara laughing as pope and cleo ran over to the two and started helping them up.

“baby the fact you are laughing really doesn’t make me feel any better”, JJ collapses infront of you, laying his head on your lap and you catch your breath. looking down at the blue eyes staring up at you, “sorry jay, but you you two idiots should’ve known what was gonna happen”.

JJ flicks your thigh as a way of telling you off, still looking up at you, a massive smile on his face watching his girl laugh at something stupid he did. you looked like an angel to him, from where he was laying on your lap, you had the sun shining bright behind you, thus leaving a heavenly glow behind you.

“why are you staring at me, baby?” your voice grabs his attention again. “cause you’re so beautiful” you blush at his words, leaning down to give him a slight kiss.

“you guys make me sick,” kiara says watching the two of you, a sarcastic tone on her voice. you and JJ start to giggle looking back at each other.

your fingers run through your boyfriends hair, watching everyone talk and laugh with each other. your boyfriend laying on your lap sleeping, his chest rising and lowering as he takes a breath.

“i love you”, you looked down to your boyfriend, his eyes open slightly looking up at you. leaning down to kiss him again slightly,

“i love you too”

We were worried.

Req: jj x John bs sister in the episode where Kie was sent to the wilderness camp, and they’re leaving the island and ready to go on the plane but reader hasn’t yet returned to the pogues as she said she was going to pack a few things at the chateau but instead of kie being sent away it’s reader. she gets to the chateau to pack, dcs is there to take her to foster care so she leaves a note for the pogues on her location, JJ leaves to go find her after worrying.

^ request edited to fit. full request here

Warnings: dcs, mentions of foster care, fluff.

MASTERLIST

All of you stood on the dock, with Pope and Cleo departing. You looked around, sighing and slinging your bag over your shoulder, turning back to them.

“I’m gonna go to the chateau, pack real quick.”

John B nodded at you, “don’t forget-“

“I know, I’ll be at the strip in an hour.” You rolled your eyes at your brother.

“Be careful.” He told you, you nodding and turning the other way, walking off the dock. You headed to the Chateau, not too far away.

Once there, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. You were shoving your clothes and other things you knew you needed into your bag, when you suddenly heard a loud knock, along with chattering inside.

“Hello?! Y/n Routledge?!”

Your eyes widened, glancing around the room wildly. You grabbed your bag quietly, got on your hands and knees and began to crawl over to the window. You peeked out the blinds, thankful they were looking the other way.

Their lanyards and their folders, you knew who they were. You also noticed the cops behind them, Shoupe among them.

You moved from the window, swallowing the lump that formed in your throat. You went to the kitchen, quietly ripping a piece of paper out and a sharpie. You scrawled onto the piece of paper as quickly as possible.

“DCF LOOKING FOR ME. AT THE TREEHOUSE.”

The treehouse. It was the name you all used for a hideout spot, a little shed hidden deep in the woods, a spot no one else knew of.

You put the note on the counter, glancing behind the door when they began knocking again. You crawled over to the back door, heart pounding against your chest as you reached for the doorknob, slowly twisting it.

You were crouching now, peeking out the side where they all stood in front of your door. You took a deep breath, locking the door behind you, before standing up and bolting for it, leaves crackling under your shoes.

Shoupe heard the noise, his eyebrows furrowing as he went to the side of the house, but when he made it, nothing was there. He examined it for a little, before turning back to the others after he had found nothing.

You ran in the woods, knowing that Shoupe would put up a missing persons report soon enough. The woods on the side were deep, and you panted once you thought it would be safe enough to stop for a little.

Checking your phone and throwing your bag off your shoulder, you opened the police site for the county, clicking on the missing persons tab. You were shocked to see your name so quickly.

Your neighbors, most likely. They had always kept a close eye on you and your brother, and this isn’t the first time they thought you were missing.

With a sigh, you sat down, going to the messages app when your phone died. You furrowed your eyebrows, groaning in annoyance.

If you left to go the airstrip, you risked getting caught by dcf and the cops. You didn’t leave, they would leave you and you would be left alone. You don’t know which is worse.

You sighed, glancing at the forage to her side that you would need to cross, hearing the chatter and the sound of radios not too far, most likely searching.

Standing up, you grabbed your bag and slung it back over your shoulder, putting your phone in your pocket and continuing to walk as quietly but also as fast as you could all the way to the treehouse.

JJ furrowed his eyebrows, hiding bending a cop car, peeking out from behind. What were all these cops doing here?

He saw an opportunity to sneak through the back door when the two at the house turned to face the lake in the back, JJ quickly crouching behind, quietly grabbing the spare key he knew she hid.

He did a door trick he found as a kid, shutting it with no sound and whispering your name, glancing around the house. He found everything a mess, like you had packed quickly. He was still crouching when he went over to the kitchen, passing something that caught his eyes on the counter.

He grabbed the piece of paper, reading the messy handwriting. He exhaled, happy that you were safe but also worried for you.

He put the note in his back pocket, making a sneaky exit from the house, and somehow making it into the woods, hidden by the trees, he could finally relax a bit.

He knew the way to the treehouse was a bit of a long walk, and he remembered each step. He recalled walking through the forage as a kid, a smile on your face while you showed him your spot. You went there when you wanted to be alone, to read, or anything else. But you trusted him with it, and the other pogues as they came along.

The sun had gone down, the moon had risen, and he could hear the chirping of the crickets around him when he finally made it to the shed.

He knocked on it, you jumping and retreating into a corner, grabbing a crowbar that was in the shed. You got ready to swing it before he opened the door slowly, revealing himself as Jj. You sighed in relief, dropping the weapon.

“Jj.”

“Y/n…” he murmured, you wrapping your arms around the blonde quickly.

“What- what happened? Why are you here?” He asked you hurriedly, a hand on your arm now.

“I- they knocked on the door, and I fucking knew this was coming, I asked John B to help me with this shit but he was so caught up in… whatever, that doesn’t matter, they were trying to take me- us, to foster care. And Mrs and Mr Smith called, and the cops think we’re missing!” You explained quickly, voice wavering with each word spilling from your mouth.

“Alright, alright. You’re uh… you’re fine, right?”

“I’m fine.” You nodded. “Wait, but why are you here? I thought you were supposed to leave on the jet?” You noticed, furrowing your eyebrows at the boy.

“I was worried.” He admitted. “We were all worried. But…” he trailed off, giving you a shrug. “I didn’t wanna leave you behind.”

You smiled softly, looking at him. “Jayj…”

“I’m sorry for what I said earlier. About you being annoying.” He blurted out suddenly, you two had gotten into an arguement and he had said that you were annoying, it had hurt your feelings and you avoided him for house.

“I’m sorry for calling your plans dumb.”

He tilted his head to the side, “are you?”

“No.” You giggled. “They are dumb.”

“You wound me.” He gasped dramatically, both of you laughing until the shed fell into silence again, both of you staring at each other.

“Jj?”

“Hmm?” He hummed.

“I love you.” You admitted, swallowing the lump that had formed in your throat.

“I… I love you too.” He replied quietly, gaze dropping to your lips for a moment. His heart pounded as he leaned in, his eyes shutting. Your lips met his halfway, his hands going to pull you closer.

kildare kisses ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚ rafe cameron x fem!reader

summary: the week of Kildare Kisses is a busy one, disallowing Rafe the chance to ask you a question. he still finds a way to get his message across.

inspired by the ‘Boo Grams’ we had in high school, which was just a couple of years ago for me 🙃

wc: 2.3k

Kildare County High School was dressed so beautifully in Valentine’s Day decorations.

Heart garlands strung on the walls, tissue paper flower bouquets, assorted in red and pink, lying in between sets of lockers, and the gigantic ‘SPREAD L︎♡︎VE’ banner dangled in the entrance of the school, serving as a purposeful reminder to love one another daily.

It was the season of Kildare Kisses, a time where students could purchase loving packages of personalized notes, chocolates, and teddy bears to their cherished friends and partners and see their smiles light up in full expressions on Valentine’s Day.

It was all so fun! Nothing filled the heart more than the deliverance of a Kildare Kiss, and you couldn’t be more excited to ignite the smiles of love on your fellow students’ faces.

Tuesday

The junior board meeting had been ongoing for the past thirty minutes, vibrant discussions of everything surrounding the Kildare Kisses from its assembly to the deliveries in homeroom classes.

At the front of the room, board president and vice president, Pope Heyward and Cleo Anderson, provided answers to some questions other members may have had.

“Are we taking any more volunteers for order sign-ups this week?”

“Um no, that will be all me,” Pope answered.

“And what about assembly time? What time should we come in?”

Cleo took this question, sharing that assembly would start during lunch period and continue during fifth period. “All that are allowed to come, please don’t hesitate to sign up.”

The meeting had proven to be successful in informing the members the order of operations for Friday’s affairs.

“What an excellent meeting, everyone!” Pope exclaimed. “Don’t forget to sign up for assembly and delivery volunteers on your way out. If you can make it to either, don’t be afraid to take a slot.”

You gathered your backpack and signed up for a delivery slot, noticing names like Sarah Cameron and Kiara Carerra above yours. Having your friends around for homeroom delivery is going to be a stellar experience. You could barely even wait for Friday!

You sauntered out of the biology room and into the hallway, ready to pursue your familiar route to fifth period English when you heard a voice calling out to you.

“Ayo, sunshine!” Rafe called out to you from the hallway.

You swiftly stopped in your tracks and spun around on your heels. “Hi, Rafe,” you responded, flashing him one of your biggest smiles.

“How ya doing?“

“I’m doing well.”

“It’s very rare that I get to see you around here,” he smirked, playfully bumping his shoulder into yours. You giggled and rolled your eyes. “It happens when you don't have many, or any, classes together,” you drawled.

”How unfortunate is that? Anyways…” Rafe began to turn around towards you, stopping you both in your tracks. His expression shifted from whimsy to something much more serious. “I got a question to ask you. I was wondering if…“

“Yo, Rafe!” Topper called out to Rafe from the doorway of the classroom. This wasn’t something Rafe needed right now, the disruption beginning to irritate him. “What up, Top?”

“Bradley’s tryna ask out this girl, and he’s failing miserably at it. You gotta come check this out, bro!” He guffawed, doubling over in laughter at the failure unraveling before his eyes.

Rafe wasn’t having this at all. “Can it wait a minute?“

”Nah, man. You gotta come now.”

Rafe sighed deeply, pinching the bridge of his nose. He must choose his friends wisely, if they’re gonna interfere with him and his Sunshine. ”I’ll be there in a second. I’m so sorry, Sunshine.”

“No worries. You can ask me later,” you swooshed your hand at him, showing him that it was truly nothing to worry about. You continued to beam up at him.

“Yeah,” He grumbled before stumbling over to Topper. You were sure that you would get to know his question eventually. He was known to always get his way one way or another.

Wednesday

You were filing away all unneeded textbooks in your locker to make space for your physics textbook and math notes in your bag. You didn’t like making too many trips to your locker, so you always got what you needed and came back for the rest after lunch.

You could see Rafe walking towards you in your mini mirror, and your smile widened as long as a football field. “Hey, sunshine,” he greeted you, his smile rivaling yours as his body leaned up against the locker to the right of you.

“Oh, to what do I owe the pleasure?” you playfully remarked, reapplying your shimmery lip gloss before closing your locker to give him your undivided attention.

”Nothin’ at all.” Rafe straightened up his posture a bit and moved forward, nearly closing the gap the locker created between you two. “My mornin’ isn’t right without talkin’ to you.”

Flabbergasted at his comment, you blushed. Rafe chuckled in response, head down briefly before lifting it up again to look at you, moving even further towards you. For some strange reason, Rafe always knows what to say to make you stammer in shambles.

“Wha-why are you here? You don't even have classes on this side,” you acknowledged, voice dripped in confusion at his choice of a lengthy trip.

“What? It’s illegal to walk a girl to class now?”

“It might be.”

“Yea, let’s just keep on walkin’ and see who arrests me,” Rafe teased, fully walking in tandem with you to your Physics class.

—— ₊˚ෆ ——

Your quick journey truly admassed time. Having an accompanying companion that isn’t one of your best friends was an unusual addition to your story, but you weren’t complaining.

He made it amazing with his jokes, making you bunch over in laughter a thousand times over, and his thorough teasing made you blush a color only an inferno could produce.

If only your schedules weren’t so misaligned, you could have moments like this every morning. A complete way to start your day. As you parked at the entryway of the Physics room, you felt a pang of sadness. It was already over, yet it felt like it just started.

“This is your stop, sunshine,”

“I know,” you mumbled in a downcast tone. Did he really have to leave?

Rafe moved closer to you, placing a careful hand on your shoulder as the other cupped your cheek. “Hey,“ he said, lifting your face back up to meet his gaze. “What’s going on? I can’t leave my sunshine unhappy.” His little pout was so precious and caring, you couldn’t help but to pout as well.

I’m in love with you, but I don’t know how to tell you. “Don’t worry about it. It’s nothing,” you opted for instead. Pouring out your current descent into loving Rafe Cameron was not something to be spread out before you even entered first period.

“Okay,” he responded, not completely convinced but enough to let you attend class for today. “So about that question I tried to ask you…” The bell rang through the building, interrupting his questioning once again.

“I’m sorry. I gotta go,” you uttered to the desperate boy in front of you as you finally went inside the classroom. You truly felt bad for Rafe. All he wanted was to ask you his question, and he could never seem to do that. Your gears began to turn as you asked yourself: will you ever find out his question?

Thursday

Rafe stalked over towards the red and pink table located near the exit door of the cafeteria. He knew he had to make his move before it was too late. He couldn’t seem to ever find the appropriate time to ask you his question, but he wasn’t going to give up now. It was now or never.

Pope thanked the customer in front of him for their purchase, noting their form and transaction on the pink sheet on his clipboard. Rafe was up next, his long strides determined and stable, as he moved up to the table.

“You always do things on the last day, Cameron?” Pope inquired, looking up at the boy in the hoodie.

Rafe grinned, slightly tilting his head to his left and shrugging his broad shoulders. “Only when I need to send a message,” he remarked.

“Right.” Pope grabbed a medium sheet of paper and a pen, sliding it in Rafe's direction. “Here’s your form. Select which type of Kiss, the recipient, their homeroom, and write your message to them.”

Rafe took the form and pen in his possession. The initial questions were easy, simple even. The most expensive Kiss with the teddy bear, candy bar, and note. He was gifting it to you, and he knows your homeroom since Kelce was also in that same homeroom.

His only issue was fitting his message to you into one rectangular box. It just wasn’t going to work well for him. This fucking box isn’t enough space, Rafe grumbled to himself, smacking the table in frustration.

“You know, if you can’t fit your message in one box, then maybe you should tell the girl yourself,” he advised, hoping to soothe the man’s troubles just a little bit.

“I’ve been trying,” he sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. He could feel a headache coming on. This has been a long week of trying to ask someone just one question. An important question.

Opting to just dive into it with you later, he wrote down a simple message in the rectangular space. It doesn’t make much sense at the moment, but it will in due time. Once he was done, he slid the paper back to Pope.

“Heyward?”

“Cameron?”

“Don’t tell her anything, alright?” Rafe promptly ordered. He had to keep this whole thing underwraps. He was so close to getting you that he couldn’t lose you this far in the game.

Pope stood up and extended his hand out to Rafe, affirming to him, “Your secret is safe with me.”

Friday

You couldn't be more excited, you thought to yourself as you speedwalked your way to the biology room. It was time for homeroom deliveries, and being grouped with Kiara and Sarah meant that fun was sure to ensue.

“Hey, you!” Kiara exclaimed as she saw you walk through the door. You squealed and dropped your backpack, heading towards her and Sarah for a hug.

“We got our first box of Kisses. You ready to go?”

“Yeah, just let me check in.”

—— ₊˚ෆ ——

This afternoon’s delivery couldn’t have been more perfect. You, Sarah, and Kie traveled up and down the hallways into rooms, putting Kisses of various sizes into the hands of unexpecting students. The joy was prominent and the love showed itself to be ever vibrant throughout each homeroom. It was phenomenal!

Once you finished your batches of deliveries, you returned back to the biology room. Cleo was having a conversation at the teacher’s desk about a TV show moment that made them laugh terribly last night. She turned her head to acknowledge your entry and said, “Your Kisses are on the desks where your backpacks are.”

Sarah squealed at her package from John B, gushing at the beauty of the entire thing. Kie was thoroughly reading her note from JJ over and over, her smile growing with every reread.

What you weren’t expecting was a Kiss at the desk in front of you. And who could this be from? you wondered, carefully analyzing the unassuming red teddy bear, chocolate bar, and adjacent note.

The mystery was intriguing, and interesting, as you tried to run through all the people that could have sent this to you. It wasn’t many, which led you right back to your initial question: who?

The bell was close to ringing, only 3 minutes remaining until students flooded out of their classrooms with Kisses of their owns, possibly carrying bouts of excitement and anticipation for the evening and weekend activities.

Choosing not to waste anymore time wondering, you opened the notecard and began to read the message.

I’ve never known how bright life could be until you came into mine, Sunshine. Imagine how much brighter it would be if you were mine. Rafe.

You gasped in shock at such a message, happy tears brimming in your eyes. Who knew Rafe Cameron could be so sweet? Who knew he wanted you as much as you wanted him?

The bell rang through the room, alerting the masses of the end of the day and beginning of a loving weekend. You grabbed up the elements of your Kiss, shoving them into your backpack, and walked out of the biology class, holding onto the notecard tightly.

“Hey, sunshine,” Rafe greeted you with that atrociously beautiful smile of his. His greeting was abruptly cut off by your hug, squeezing the boy as if you would never let him go. Your warmth seeped into his vessel calmly, and he wondered why he hadn’t done this sooner. Rafe fully allowed himself to absorb the present moment, just enjoying being there with you.

You pulled away from the hug to look up at him, the tears that once brimmed your eyes were promptly falling. “You wanna be with me?” You asked. His message was written so sweetly, but you wanted to hear it directly from the source.

Rafe cradled your cheek, wiping his coarse thumb across your cheek to swipe away the sliding tears. “Of course I do, baby. How did you not notice?”

You shook your head at him. “I would’ve thought I was going crazy to believe something like that,” you chortled, wrapping your arms around his neck, note still in hand.

Rafe took notice of your possession of the note. “You know I had trouble finding what to put in that?”

“Really?”

“Yeah, I had so much to say to you, but there wasn’t enough space in that damn thing.”

“Mind filling me in on all you wanted to say?”

this was so rushed…

happy val day 💕

[gotskamstuff]

PAUSE. I think I’ve cracked the code and the timeline (or maybe I’m just on crack)

Let’s start here, it looks like one of the plot this season is gonna be the Kooks, more specifically Topper’s family, wanting to buy the Pogue’s land to create clubs and Kook’s businesses (whether it’s our Pogue’s house specifically or lands on the Cut in general we don’t know)

Of course this is not gonna be well received from the Pogues who are gonna fight back and to me it looks like that when JJ goes to grab the chair there’s already chaos happening in the court room and perhaps the habitants of the Cut have started protesting in court causing an uproar

Because of course JJ is JJ, he takes it to another level and he gets arrested for throwing the chair in the courthouse BUT someone (possibly one of our Pogues) breaks him out of the cop car and he gets to escape his arrest

It looks like that later that same night (same outfits) all the Pogues from the Cut are gonna start a riot in town in protest of the Kooks buying their lands

But once the cops show up JJ is gonna have to make a run for it AND THIS BRINGS ME TO MY THEORY THAT JJ IS GONNA BE ESCAPING FROM THE COPS AND GOING INTO HIDING FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON…follow me

My personal theory is that the episode I’ve just broke down is 4x05 and it’s when they’re gonna leave us hanging for the first half, now another episode in the second half of the season is this one below that PERSONALLY (it’s not a fact, just my opinion) I think might be 4x08. We got this spoiler of John B, Sarah, Pope and Cleo during a scene together presumably on the mainland while JJ and Kie are not there

In the trailer we have this scene and the four of them are wearing the same outfits from the pic above, my theory is that this scene in the trailer is 4x09, the following morning from the spoiler above and after discovering something the Pogues are starting to make moves to go to Morocco and they are hiding JJ in there ‘cause he can’t be seen since he’s wanted by the cops

I think they are gonna move JJ to this yacht (maybe the Camron’s) and he’s gonna stay there in hiding until they are ready to go and leave Kildare, we got spoilers of JJ in his Morocco outfit ALONE on the yacht (another waaaay more loose theory I have is that Luke is gonna find him while he’s here alone and they are gonna fight for the last time and that’s where JJ blood stain comes from)

Another spoiler we got is the 5 Pogues (Kiara, John B, Sarah, Pope and Cleo) on this boat MINUS JJ but THEN we see the 5 of them reunited/getting JJ from the yacht and start making their escape.

Because they have stolen the Kilder County Sheriff’s boat they are gonna probably get tracked down (JJ is also crouched down in the boat seemingly hiding in all the spoilers we got) and here we see the cops trying to hit/stop the boat and also Mike Carrera yelling and my theory is that he’s trying to convince JJ to hand himself to the authorities and not put the others (specifically Kiara) in danger

But then as we know…all six of them go to Morocco.

SO THERE YOU GO, here’s my theory of JJ being wanted/hiding for half of the season and I wouldn’t exclude also possibly FAKING his own death upon returning to Kildare (hence all the rumors about it) 🤷🏻‍♀️

“Pope, wha-what was the line again?” John B, stuttered, awkwardly looking at the pair behind the camera. A sigh could be heard out of frame, Andy putting her face into her hand after watching her friend struggle for the hundredth time.

“Look, into the camera lens.” Pope said firmly, tried of his long time friend as well.

“Ok.”

“Don’t look at me, look at the camera.”

“Okay, sorry.” The dirty blonde as sheepishly before clearing his throat. The video then cut, completely starting over.

“Hey, OBX.” John B said, still as awkward as the first few times. “We’re the..new surf shop in town and we’re here to bring you a good time—” He trailed off before off before the camera zoomed out to show the porch of the shop.

“All the time!” Kiara, Sarah, Twitch and AJ, all popped out from around the corner of the open double doors. AJ immediately dropped her arms, giving the back of John B’s head a cold look.

“We’re supposed to be in sync, guys. It’s not that hard.” She complained with a slight shake of her head as she placed her hands on her hips.

“This is stupid!” Cleo whined from her place on the steps with French Fry and Porky, already tried of the constant filming and retakes of the commercial. Gavin pointed over at her from where he stood behind the shark that JJ had his head stuck in. “I’m with her.” He said.

“Cut!” Andy groaned, the video cutting to another clip.

“Kildare County Surf Shop!” Pope’s voice was heard over the commercial. “A one stop shop for all your island essentials.”

“T-Shirts!” Andy and JJ said at the same time. While the boy just held the shirts up for the camera, Andy showed the design on her back, pointing a thumb at it as she gave the camera a smirk over her shoulder.

“Boots!” Sarah smiled at the camera as she held a pair of boots in her hand. There was also a pair floating, upside down, next to her head. The camera zoomed out some to catch Andy doing a handstand to show the water proof shoes she had on. “Okay, cut it before I pass out.” She rasped out, the camera cutting just in time before she fell.

“Bucket Hats.” John B smiled at the camera as he held up a hat with his hand. He then moved and placed the hat onto Gavin’s head, who stood there with a straight face and his arms crossed. John B continued to give the camera a large smile, in contrast to his friend next to him, before the clip cut.

“Live bait!” Pope and AJ said enthusiastically, pointing to the fish in his girlfriend’s hand. The fish then twitched, causing Pope to flinch since it was so close to his face, while AJ just continued to smile at the camera, raising her brows twice before the clip cut.

“Kayak rentals!” Sarah yelled as she rowed within the small boat, the camera quickly zooming in so it could look as if she was really on the water instead of swaying on the dock.

“Fishing nets!” Kiara said with a smile as she held the large net out. She then turned to Twitch, placing the tool over his head, catching him in the net.

“For catching fish and thieves.” AJ smiled as she popped up from behind the counter, startling the pair. Twitch sharply gasped at her words before turning back to Pope, who held the camera. “You gotta cut that out, you know I have a case pending.” He finishes just before the camera cut.

“At the Kildare..Country Surf Shop, we treat our customers like..they’re gold.” Pope said stiffly, standing straight as he looked into the camera with an uncomfortable look in his eye. The camera dropped a little to show nothing but they’re legs and the golden god walking up to them, a voice behind the device speaking.

“Oh, babe, that was really bad.” AJ said softly as Pope walked closer. “Yeah, that sucked absolute ass.”Andy said bluntly, a small slap sounding out and the camera moving as the girl then hissed. “I know, I know.” Pope sighed defeatedly. “Why are you so stiff?”

“Yeah, it looks like someone was holding you at gun point.” Andy spoke again, the camera jolting slightly when AJ shoved her. “Yeah, I’ll just cut that out.” The boy groaned, the camera catching his bottom half walk closer to his girlfriend, who held her arms open for him to enter in defeat.

“Here at the surf shop, we believe that the board you ride should as personal as the wave you rip.” John B said as he looked down into the camera, showing the customized board on the ceilings.

“This is such an odd angle.” AJ said as she stepped into frame slightly, catching John B’s attention. “Wrong type of video if you know what I mean.” The camera cut just in time to catch the groans that sounded within the room.

“We have our local sea turtle lover, Kiara Carrera and resident artists Twitch and Andy who can make you a custom board, pottery and more.”

“Really get a vibe for your aura.” Kiara said to the camera, standing in her apron with the board material behind her. “Could be your sign or I could read your chakra and make you a board on those readings.” She said softly, gesturing over to the painting station behind her.

“I’m getting, like, a caaaaann-“ She trialed off softly as she painted the board, standing before a customer who was waiting.

“Oh, actually I’m a Scorpio.” The girl said.

“Scorpio.” Kiara finished, as if she already knew what the girl was going to say. “It was-It was either that-it was one of the two.” The girl said. The customer just nodded her head, an unsure frown on her features.

The camera then cut to Twitch, who stood in an apron as well with spray cans in his hands. “Yeah, I don’t do all that astronomy mumbo jumbo.” He waved off, the cans clicking in his hands. “I bring an unethical and graffiti type of vide to surfing that a lot of Kooks and tourist don’t really like. But I say rock on!” He smirked. The video then cut to another clip of Twitch, this time standing in front of a customer.

“Okay, so I was thinking an Asian style jaguar, crawling down the back of a Chinese dragon flying atop the clouds on Mount Fuji. Or, Pinhead on top of Cerberus, slicing the head off a Hydra.” He suggested. The camera then panned to a little boy, who scratched his head as he glanced over his shoulder for his parents. “Uh, I was thinking, like, a whale or something. My mom doesn’t let me watch scary movies.” He said innocently.

AJ softly cooed from behind the camera while Twitch just scoffed. “Well, I was watching horror movies before I could even speak but, whatever.” He shrugged before moving to grab his supplies. “My signature has to go on the bottom, that the rule. And that’ll be five hundred dollar so pay up, kid.” He said before harshly placing his supply crate on top of the surfboard, causing the little boy to flinch at the loud impact.

“Twitch!” AJ hissed while Andy sighed. “Just cut the damn cameras.” She said to Pope before the camera cut.

“I on the other end offer a variety of crafts.” Andy smirked to the camera, staring outside on her apron. “Inside you will see a few pottery items I’ve made, and I do customs as well.” She winked with a smirk. “And I also do caricatures! I’ve done portraits on boards for couples and family’s here and there.” She smiled.

The video then cut to the girl standing before a couple, the pairs arms wrapped around one another as they posed for the drawing. “What a lovely couple.” Andy smiled, looking between the pair. They laughed a little, turning to look into the other’s eyes. “It’s be a shame if you broke up.” She continued with a smile on her face, not seeing their smiles dripping slightly as she drew. “I mean, who would get the board if you did? Would even you even want the board? Especially if one of you cheats, that’d be so difficult.” She sighed softly before looking up at the pair. “But I doubt that’ll ever happen.” She cheesed as she looked between them, the couples face now blank. “I also do tattoos on the low.” She leaned forward to tell them, offering a wink before the camera quickly cut.

The video the cut to AJ, standing in behind the counter in the store. “And here we have Kain exclusives!” She said, gesturing to the ceramic cups and candies that littered the counter. “All pottery items and candles are hand crafted. We even do customs!” She said, the camera catching a pan of the well made and unique items. It then cut back to her, a smile of her face. “Only exclusive to Kildare County Surf Shop!” She grinned. Her smile only faltered slightly and before the camera cut, she continued. “And there may be some at Mama Heart’s near Figure Eight, but these are better.” She said before her face fell, serious as she looked into the camera lens. “No hate to you grandma.” She said

The video then cut to Gavin standing behind the same counter, face stoic as he leaned his weight onto counter. “You know him, you love him. Pouge Prince, Gavin Watts is here!” John B said as he popped in and gestured over to the boy. The other boys face didn’t move, looking into the camera. “AJ and I couldn’t be mechanics. So I work the counter.” He said simply. John B was just his awkward self, glancing at the boy while a voice spoke up from behind the camera.

“Be enthusiastic.” Andy whispered.

Gavin just help a thumbs up, nothing else changing. Andy sighed.

“This diva.” AJ laughed from behind the camera.

“So bring it on home to the Kildare County Surf Shop! Built by Pouges…” John B trialed off surely, just staring into the lens of the camera, not a thought behind his eyes.

“For Pouges.” Sarah and AJ said.

“For Pouges.” Pope continued.

“For Pouges.” Kiara cheered.

“Yeah, no Kooks allowed. I gut you!” Cleo hissed. “Yeah!” AJ yelled in excitement, trying and giving the girl a high five. “Yeah!” Andy just agreed to be a part of the enthusiasm, leaning her weight off of JJ. John B automatically agreed, pointing at the camera without much thought behind what the girls were actually saying before Gavin stepped in.

“Woah, some kooks.” He said, placing his hands on Cleo’s shoulders. “Some Kooks.” Pope agreed. “Yeah, that’s where the money is,” Twitch spoke up, and leaned against the railing on the other side of Kiara as he brushed his waves down out of pure boredom.

“And don’t forget to book your scuba and surf tour by..JJ Maybank.” The blonde boy suddenly cut in, gaining the rest of their attention. Andy stood next to him, her arm around his shoulder as she nodded and gave the camera a thumbs up. “Best guy for the job!” She said.

“The Kildare County Surf Shop!” Pope’s voice said over a clip of the group plus the pets sitting on the steps outside of the shop, waving at the drone as it rose high and higher. JJ and Gavin stood on the opposite ends of the group, not as enthusiastic as the others, even though Andy was lazily waving JJ’s hands for him. “Located on the old Maybank property.”

Andy was the first to stand up when she say the drone fly closer to the trees. “No, no.” She said as she rushed over, Pope on her trials, as well as French Fry, who thought they were playing a game. “No, no, no, no, no.” The boy said, but the drone stilled hit the bank of the tree, catching branches and then falling to the ground. “Ugh!” He groaned, on his knees as he inspected the expensive gadget to make sure everything was okay.

An idea popped into my head for a Hosie Amish AU where Hope is an excommunicated/accused witch from her village after a mysterious illness begins killing people off. They assume it's the witch putting a curse on them out of revenge, but it's not. After Lizzie contracts the illness, Josie goes to Hope in secret for help and risks getting caught and punished. Hope - excommunicated witch Alaric - the drunk, abusive Bishop or pastor? Josie & Lizzie - daughters of the pastor Landon - arranged marriage to Josie Kaleb - Cleo - MG - Ethan - Finch - Rafael - Perhaps other Mikaelsons? ..... still thinking of what other characters would be I mostly blame Amish Witches: The True Story of Holmes County special on Hulu for this one, but even if it says "true story", I know it's fake Hollywood because the Amish would never allow themselves to be filmed as far as I know and seen on TV and in person (I live about an hour away from Amish country). I can't help but be curiously entertained by the idea though that this exists somewhere in the world. (It was that good of a movie even if it was supposed to act like a documentary. Think Blair Witch Project) And the magic I'm talking about is like with healing magic (using traditional medicine and other methods). If there's any former Amish that could enlighten me out there on this subject, I'm all ears. I know that's a long shot though. lmaoooo

There's also this 2nd idea I have for this fic that Hope is an English girl (which literally means non-Amish for those who aren't familiar) that meets Josie one day in their local Amish supermarket and makes an excuse to see her more often.

Eileen, Cleo and their daughters having fun at their local county fair.

[leviathangourmet]

On May 4, Austin’s Lost Creek neighborhood voted 91 percent in favor of seceding from the city and regaining some measure of self-determination, prompting in-depth coverage by the U.K.’s Daily Mail. What allowed Lost Creek to chart its own course was a new state law (House Bill 3053) that made some small but important changes to Texas’ disannexation process. Disannexation broadly refers to a practice wherein “residents of a particular area [may] disassociate themselves from a municipal government’s control and jurisdiction.” In normal speak, it’s the way a community can break up with an abusive city government. While disannexed areas may lose access to certain city services — like no longer being able to call the Austin Police Department, which is already stretched thin and understaffed by 500 — they also gain the opportunity to seek out better services elsewhere, either through an existing provider, like the Travis County Sheriff’s Office, or through some new source, like the private sector. In the same way, residents have a good chance of getting more and paying less for all other expiring city services, such as trash pick-up and emergency medical services. To that very point, the Daily Mail quoted Austin public safety activist Cleo Petricek as saying, “I’m really jealous that they will have better management and would rather do it on their own than have anything to do with the city.” Of course, the hunt for better services and lower costs only partially explains why Lost Creek residents voted so heavily in favor of city secession. Another major reason why was the total lack of political representation at city hall. Austin has long been known as a weird place. Its hometown motto is “Keep Austin Weird,” after all. But over the last decade or so, city hall has increasingly catered to a fringe few on the far left, so much so that it’s experimented with “reimagining” public safety, toyed with giving black residents reparations, and even created its own guaranteed income program. Needless to say, these radical ideas have prompted many apolitical Austinites to wonder what’s being done in their name and why. Worse, they’ve also served as a stark reminder that the average person’s interests aren’t well represented. As a result, communities have begun to either break away or at least consider it.
