OUTER BANKS | S01E06: "Parcel 9"

JJ drifts, aimless. Thinks he understands Luke better than he ever has, watching the infinite stretch of water, the light-painted waves reaching for some faraway place. But the thing Luke could never do, that everyone suffered for, was anchor himself. JJ doesn’t know where he is, what he is, but there’s only ever been one anchor for him.

OBX screencaps by the talented and lovely @kiekiecarrera ❤️

"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.

six weeks of breathing clean air, I still miss the smoke

to fill in the gap between outer banks season 4 pt 1 & pt 2, we’ve decided to come up with a little event we’re calling obxtober! the rules are super simple: there pretty much are none.

in between now and obx4 pt 2, just choose any prompt and write a fic about it, or make a gifset, or some art, or an edit. anything goes! the prompts are meant to be vague and able to be interpreted however you choose to interpret them. if you want to squeeze five prompts into one thing, you can do that as well!

(if you're posting to ao3, be sure to add your fic to the obxtober collection!)

when you’ve completed a prompt, think of it like a punch card you might get going to your favorite ice cream shop. just throw a jiara/obx/beach themed emoji over the cloud with the prompt(s) you used, and post it! tag us or use #obxtober so we can repost it. 

if you want to continue to use the prompts past part 2, you’re absolutely welcome to do that as well. the more art, the merrier.
