"Why the hell do I need to go to–” Snatching up the paper Kiara’d shoved at her, she screeches, “Cleo’s? This isn’t even in Kildare!”

“They've been operating forever and will train you pro bono, so–”

“So they owe you then?” Sarah accuses. “Willing to take some dead weight off your hands to call it even, is that it?”

“I’m trying to help you,” Kiara rages, the onion victimized by her rapid fire blade.

“No one asked for your help!” No one helped Sarah when she was stuck in that stall; no one saved her from those blinding, glittery stage lights. She’d smiled and starved and saved herself all on her own.

There was a time she’d felt horrible, even responsible, for the rift between her and Kiara. Wondered why she tried so hard at everything except this one thing. But now, crumpling up Cleo’s address in her hand, she wonders if Kiara is banking on her not trying at all.

“Is that mine?”

Kiara stiffened. Surely JJ wasn’t addressing her. “What?”

Her eyes slowly slid to his, as pleasantly as nails on a chalkboard. And sure enough, he stared back at her, clear blue flitting from her face to the stained emblem on her chest.

“My hoodie.”

“Oh,” Kiara said, because what the fuck else was she supposed to say? She landed him with a look she hoped was as unimpressed as she felt, and gave away none of the burning in her ears. Glanced down at the hoodie as if to study it, as if she didn’t already know exactly what she was wearing. “I don’t know. I guess.”

She figured this had to be the part where she melted into a puddle, or the building caught fire. No worse than the pain of slipping out of an elevator to go about her day after this shit.

——————————-

OR Kiara isn't hung up on her failed college situationship. Really, she isn't. It's just that the hoodie is there, and it's really, really cold.

“I’m mad at you, you know.” She doesn’t sound mad, but kinda sad instead, and JJ’s stomach churns uncomfortably.

He looks over at her and finds her staring at him. “What did I do?”

Her eyes flick to the barely healing gash on his forehead, and it throbs as though it can feel her pointed gaze.

“Oh. That.”

“Yes. That,” she bites out.

“He was swinging at you, Kie,” he says matter of factly. “I wasn’t about to let you get hurt.” It’s not rocket science. Protecting Kie is just ingrained in his veins, a part of his muscle memory.

Her throat bobs as she swallows thickly. “But you got hurt! You just fell off the side of the boat and–”

When her eyes grow shiny, he feels a tugging sensation in his gut, telling him that maybe she’s not actually mad at him. He shuffles closer, their elbows brushing, and she blinks a few times.

“And what? It was worth it, Kie.” She shakes her head at him, lips pursed into a pout. “I’d do it again.”

@jiaraweek - DAY 2 - ONLY ONE BED

@jiarabingo - PROMPT: ESCAPE ROOM

“Why would you close the door?” She frowns. “What do you mean why would–” She cuts herself off, index finger coming to press against her lips, eyes growing impossible wider as she strains her ears to listen. They hear it at the same time. The sound of footsteps coming up the stairs. JJ flails, waving his arms frantically around the room. “Hide!” or When one door closes...nothing happens. You're just stuck in a room with your ex.

Alright I was tagged by @jojameswinter and @alphinias so here we go!

7 Up Writing Tag Game

An excerpt from the no longer secret Jiara SWATH AU for the Royals square from Jiara Bingo

At that very moment, Kiara dangled precariously from the apple tree, reaching as far as her arm and the fingers attached to it would stretch. The apple she snatched down nearly tumbled from her palm and took her with it, but she wrapped her arms around the sturdier branches and threw her head back, laughing at Pope’s sharp intake of breath and the exhale that followed it.

“I did advise caution,” he told her, shakily accepting the fruit. Kiara’s shoulder rose and fell, and she sat beside him, swinging her legs over the edge of the large branch they occupied.

“I did not fall, did I? Thus, I was cautious enough.”

Soon enough the apple is forgotten about, tossed to the ground by a startled Pope upon hearing the voice of his father calling for him. He and Kiara descended the tree quickly, scampering off before the call grew closer.

Spring turned to summer, and summer to autumn. With the fading of the light and leaves from the trees came the worst tragedy Kiara could fathom.

As every good thing must, the princess’ golden childhood came to an end.

is jiara bingo still going on or is that replaced by jiara week

ok so yes technically it is because there’s no end date due date whatever for it BUT i have been much busier than I expected over the past several months so I haven’t even pulled the latest qualtrics survey results let alone made someone new a jiara bingo card 😭 I will do my absolute best to get to that soon!!!! if anyone has submitted a jiara bingo request, hasn’t received a card yet but has written fics that could technically fit one of the prompts, please shoot me a dm or ask! I’ll add it in as a square as an apology for taking forever 😭

[ghostiewriter]

Madison uttering the words “I love working with Rudy” in 2024 wasn’t on my bingo card AT ALL. Someone on Netflix really told them to cut the drama out or… im screaming. But you know what, it’s good for me! Also Jiara seems like it will be great this season.

THE WORLD IS FINALLY HEALING

[kierreras]

yeah, recently me and my friends were obsessed with playing bingo cards, so how could i not create one for jiara season 3 expectations from myself before the season is released? hope that all the squares would be crossed by the end of the last episode lol also, my friend is hosting an obx watch party with her own bingo cards, so i guess she’ll have something to share for other ships too

[brizzlovesyou]

Plz say you have more iiara fics in the works

I do!! When they’ll actually get published is another thing entirely but I’ve started working on the next late nights update and I have a whole list of other one shot ideas/prompts I want to tackle!! I also have a couple random Jiara bingo fics that I started but never did anything with so maybe it’s time to dig those back up…

All that to say: my schedule is absolutely insane rn but I’m trying my hardest to get back in the habit of writing at least a few words a day so I don’t fall off the face of the planet for months at a time afshdjfhs

Summary: Kiara had never done anything by halves. Saving turtles. Being a pogue.

Finally letting herself love JJ was no different.

There’s not a word spoken when they’re done, staring at their creation. It’s not pretty, but it’s strong. It’s not what anyone expects, but maybe that’s a good thing.

“JJ, what the hell is this?”

Or not.

jiara week day 5 - based on a book/movie/tv show

Summary: Short on options, Kiara moves in with three single guys. [aka the New Girl AU]

Word Count: 11, 294 (1/?)

[jiara bingo - roommates au]

------

Kiara isn’t quite sure what she expected when she spur of the moment decided to move in with three single guys she'd never met. She figured they’d probably keep to themselves and that she wouldn’t have much in common with them. At least one was probably a slob and there would be a constant parade of girls in and out of the apartment. She'd have to use her meagre savings to buy noise cancelling headphones or she'd get stuck doing all the cleaning just because she was a girl. 

To be honest, she was fifty-fifty on the whole thing working out at all, but she was desperate.

Strangely enough though, she fits in perfectly. Between the practical jokes and the late night beers, the ridiculous made up games and random road trips in the communal beat up VW van dubbed the Twinkie for reasons she's still not certain of, it’s almost like she’s always been there. Like despite all the shit that’s happened, the stress and worry and constant fighting that led her here, she was meant to end up in apartment 4D.

@jiaraweek - DAY 1 - 18 MONTHS LATER

@jiarabingo - PROMPT: THE DOCK

“Guys, can we not,” he tries weakly, running a hand through his hair, desperate to keep his friends from fighting, to no avail. Pope and Sarah are already talking over each other, Cleo rolling her eyes and turning away while John B tries to play peacemaker. JJ’s hands start shaking, the way they always do when people are arguing around him - one of the many side effects of growing up with Luke. His jaw tightens and he chews on the inside of his cheek, his patience running thin. This is not what he wanted. “Sarah, it’s fi—" “Hey guys, can you all chill? I’ve got the champagne, it’s all good.” or JJ is christening his boat. Kiara isn't gonna miss it.
