the one where a young hot actress rises to fame quickly and globally. yet out of everyone in the industry an actor a decade older than her, drew starkey, is the one who catches her eye and steals her heart.
the one where she admits her sexual frustration to her best friend, jj maybank, who then proceeds to offer to help her out. little do they both know casual sex never stays casual for long. especially not with people who have been harboring this strong of feelings towards each other for this long.
the one where john b has a reckless little sister whom is completely off limits to all his friends, and an even more reckless best friend who has never been a fan of rules. they might convince themselves and each other that flirting is all part of a game to piss john b off, but games can always be taken too far.
as if losing her parents a few years ago wasn’t enough, she finds out her older brother and guardian has now joined them. her friends try their best to guide her through her grief, but her best friend jj maybank is the only one who can get through to her. she learns to cope alongside him.
the one where the lines between hatred and obsession start to get a little blurry. where the pogue princess and kook king realize crossing it is inevitable.
the one where an ex-pogue finally is forced to return after years living a separate life in the city. she reunites with her old friends including the boy she never really stopped loving. the only hope they have upon seeing her again is that she is not too far gone.
the one where jj maybank ends an argument with the girl who is simultaneously his best friends sister and the love of his life by demanding she marry him.
the one where a tragic accident occurs and all of the pogues, including his very best friend, think jj is dead. once he finally reappears five months later she wrestles with feelings of resentment, guilt, and most dangerous of all, love.
the one where john b leaves his reckless best friend and even more reckless little sister alone for one night and they decide to surf the surge. and then when that doesn’t end well, (because of course it doesn’t) his attention is pulled from his injured little sister to the clear panic behind jjs blue eyes at the thought of losing her. a reaction he wouldn’t expect just a friend to have.
just another pogue beer and bonfire night. the six of them (maddy, jj, sarah, john b, kie and pope) sit around the fire and decide to play spicy truth or dare.
the one where john bs little sister and best friend who grew up together battle with their feelings for each other. where they have to pick between finally confessing their undying love and enduring the wrath of john b or keeping the peace.
the one where brooke’s best friend has always just been like another little sister to drew starkey. that is until they meet again as adults and sparks fly from every direction.
madison finch has been best friends with pogues for as long as she can remember. they are her only family left after her parents were killed in a tragic car accident. she still has her home, but has always just stayed in john bs chateau. her very best friend is jj maybank. her partner in crime and favorite person in the entire world. they’ve always been super close, but only in the last couple years has there been obvious more than friend feelings between the two. well obvious to everyone but them.
jj and maddy are best friends and always have been. she loves all the pogues but he will always be her number one. they also are, whether they realize it or not, completely and irrevocably in love with each other. everyone else can see the tension between them but they are somehow blind to it. one evening the pair of friends along with the rest of their friends are on a camping trip. after a long night of drinking beer and telling stories over a campfire, they split off in twos to their own cramped tents. john b and sarah, pope and kiara, and (obviously) jj and maddy. it’s the end of a perfect night. the only problem is the temperature is quickly dropping. though jj seems unaffected by it, madison is shivering violently as she struggles to get warm or fall asleep. the story starts right after they all split off to go to bed.
the one where john bs younger sister celebrates her 18th birthday surrounded by the people she loves the most. including her brothers dangerously hot and incredibly off limits best friend, jj maybank.
maddy is best friends with sarah cameron and her family. well most of them. except her brother rafe whom she despises but has always had insane sexual tension with. sarah’s father is sending sarah and rafe on a camping trip and each of them are allowed to pick one person to come with. rafe chooses his best friend topper(who sarah is currently dating) and sarah chooses her best friend maddy. they have two small tents to stay in and both rafe and maddy go into it thinking it will be boys together and girls together. sarah and topper have a different plan….
madison finch is a pogue. she is the little sister of john b and best friends with all his friends. her and jj maybank have been getting very close for about a year now (closer than most friends…??) and have had many moments where both of them could feel the tension. it was late at night at the chateau, and jj and maddy are the only two home. john b is sleeping over at sarah’s and pope and kiara are both on lockdown at their houses. the remaining two decide to drink and talk together which is very normal for them. tensions rise with every sip of alcohol, but they could never act on it because she is his best friends sister. forbidden fruit. or could they?
madison and rafe cameron are enemies. they truly truly truly hate each other unlike anyone else. it goes beyond her being a pogue and him being a kook. that being said, they’ve always had a sort of sexual tension between the traded insults. they’ve never acted on it and they avoid being one on one subconsciously. while the hatred remains, the lust burns stronger. it goes on for years getting worse and worse until each other are almost irresistible. it all leads up to the end of summer boneyard bonfire where they both get a touch too drunk and a touch too close throughout the party.
madison is one of the pogues. she is best friends with jj. it has always been platonic but with lowk a bit of tension. she just got off a long shift at work and came back to the chateau (john bs house) to take a nap before hanging with her friends that night. when she gets there she realizes the house is empty except for jj napping on the couch. she is so tired and attempts to kick him off so she can lay down but will end up just laying with him. he also is really touchy which is normal for them but she always jokes she hates physical touch. (really it’s just everyone’s but his) he gets even more clingy when he’s tired. he eventually promises to be good and leave her alone trying to nap but is historically bad at napping and keeps trying to talk to her since he has already been woken up. they are both tired because they stayed up super late last night. the story starts right when she walks into the chateau. jj is knocked out.
madison routledge is a pogue. she’s john bs twin sister. john b is very protective over her and created the no pogue on pogue macking rule because of her. he has always made it very clear to jj to not even think of her that way, but he’s always had a thing for her. him and madison like to flirt and make sexual jokes just to piss john b off but at this point he’s used to it. they all are. however, there’s a thin line between jokes and the truth…which one is it with them?
