all my blood for the sweetness of his laughter by PrincessOfNothingCharming

Summary
“Sorry to burst your bubble, but you don’t look good,” she admits bluntly.
It’s true. The color has faded further from his face and the bloody smear on his cheek just accentuates how pale he really is. He swipes his tongue across his lips, chapped and pale, and the smile that spreads across them is weak at best. The unsteady edge of his gaze keeps her attention though, even after he hides it back behind his arm again.
“Well, shit, Kie,” he mutters through dry lips, “way to sugarcoat it for me. You ain’t gotta kick a man when he’s already down.”
She bites back a smile as she leans over him, her fingers gentle against his wrist as she lifts his arm. He peeks one eye at her, then lets it fall shut again as her curls drape over his cheek. She sets his hand on his stomach and carefully turns his face away from her to study the wound in his hair.
OR
Kiara takes care of JJ their first night on Poguelandia.

In My Garden Of Thorns (He Made Me Feel Like Spring) by Tpwk1321

Summary
Kiara was in fifth grade when she first heard that the woman's uterus is a garden.
That's what her health teacher told the class—a woman with boho skirts, curly hair, and bright red glasses whose goal it was to uplift young girls.
A place where life is supposed to grow. Flowers and herbs and fruit. Things that bring joy and happiness.
She said it like a woman's value was tied to giving birth to children—to bloom, to bear fruit, to be nurturing and beautiful.
Kiara didn't understand it then.
Since the first time she got her period exactly a week after her tenth birthday, her garden only grew thorns.
OR
Kiara Carrera has endometriosis, and JJ is the one who holds her through every flare-up, every wave of pain, every negative pregnancy test, every quiet heartbreak, every moment she thinks she’s too much.

Summary
He was gone, B. At Christmas. What, you had to sit here and wait?”
John B looked up. “That's not what I'm talking about. You were there right? You saw what happened.”
“No shit.” JJ was on his feet before he realized it. “Dude came in looking for a fight. It’s like… Cut 101. You don’t throw a punch unless you want one.” He shrugged, but it came out tight. “Especially not at my dad.”
“You’d know, huh?”
The second it slipped, JB froze, like he wanted to grab it back, but JJ didn’t give him the chance. He stopped cold. Hands curled.
“What the fuck does that mean?”
__________JJ lives by unspoken rules: don’t mix the Pogues with your family, don’t talk about dads with John B, don’t cry, hit first, and for fuck’s sake never, ever piss Luke off.
Breaking one was all it took, and the rest went with it.
Now John B hates him, home is off-limits, and he’s stuck half-frozen on Kie’s bedroom floor trying to figure out where it all went to shit.Series

And in one sharp moment, every single thing Kie’s ever thought she knew about JJ Maybank rewrites itself. It shifts in the moments between his cheerful, “Disco mode! That’s right, baby!” and his desperate, “No, you know what, screw friends! I got a hot tub for my family!”
OR

Summary
It’s not the hit itself that takes JJ by surprise.
It’s not the crash of glass against the wall. Or the pain that slices across his cheek, white hot and sudden. It’s not the words hurled at his back or the fist that catches his jaw when he turns.
No, what takes JJ by surprise is the clarity in those blue-gray eyes right before that fist connects and sends him sprawling.
OR
Following the news of John B and Sarah's supposed deaths on board the Phantom, JJ's guilt carries him home to accept his fate.

Summary
JJ didn’t cry or yell or try to cover up. His face was all twisted up, teeth bared like he might bite someone. It didn’t look like him at all.
It scared her a little. None of it felt like school. None of it felt normal.
Pope must’ve felt it too – he was still sitting at the table, gripping the edge with his face all pale.
When teachers pulled Sam off, JJ didn’t say anything or look at anybody. Just let them drag him out. And he hadn’t been back after. She figured he was suspended, maybe also grounded. Hopefully his dad wasn’t too mad.
The sound of the hit kept coming back to her. His lip had split. He hadn’t said a word.
Nobody had even asked if he was okay.
A lot can happen in a week.
When the Pogues are twelve, there’s a fight, a party, a project, a festival -- and a few things their parents make sure they remember.
Some lessons they push back on. Others stick.
And not the ones you’d hope.Series

Summary
A few hours ago, he’d been curled up on the floor of the Chateau’s bathroom, dry-heaving like a loser. His throat burned, his head was pounding, and his brain wouldn’t shut up about everything he’d screwed up. Stealing from his dad, running, being a piece of shit, the fact that he’d be fucking murdered as soon as he stepped foot at his house—it had all hit him at once.
He’d shaken. He’d cried. He’d felt every bit the damn waste of space his dad always said he was.
And then he’d stopped.
Gotten up. Washed his face. Fixed his shit.
Cause JJ Maybank didn’t stay down. He didn’t sit around whining and waiting for a rescue.
He’d done it because his friends needed him. Because John B needed him. And if stealing the damn pump meant the Pogue ran again, then that was just how it had to be.
--
Spring on the Outer Banks means two things: trouble and the Pogues finding it. JJ is fighting to keep it together at home, while John B is barely holding on after his father’s disappearance. Pope and Kie do their best to keep the group steady, but even the strongest friendships are tested when real life hits hard.Series

Summary
“Pen, how are you?” His cheerful voice used to bring butterflies to life in the pit of her stomach. Now it rolled in revulsion.
“I am well, Mr. Bridgeton; now if you would excuse me, I have the most unbearable headache, and I wish to return home.” She said coming up with an excuse off the top of her head. She tried to rush past him to round the corner of the house. He reached out his hand, wrapping around her forearm. Pulling her to a stop.
"Pen, are we okay?” He asked hesitantly, “It’s just that I wrote you this summer and you never replied; admittedly, not many people did, but if you are going to make me say it, I’ve missed you.” His eyes held sincerity. She closed hers briefly to keep from rolling her eyes.
“You missed me, but you would never court me?” She mumbled.
“What?” He whispered out in shock.
“That’s what you said last summer. At my mother’s ball, I heard you, before you try to deny it.” She held his gaze as he struggled to form words, trying to think of anything to redeem himself. “The problem is, I never asked you too”
