  1. Summary

    The gist of this is just that I'll post a segment of a book that I have stashed in my notes app to use at some point, with a brief of the idea. If anyone wants to take these ideas and use them for themselves (with credits) please do!

    There will probably be oneshots from I Spy a Liar and any other fics I end up writing included in this so keep an eye out for them!

    Any warnings will be listed at the top of each chapter and I hope you enjoy!

    Summary

    The summer before they started high school she saw him every day, without fail— had fallen asleep next to each other more times than she could count, gotten the flu together when they went swimming in the public pool, worn different sets of matching temporary tattoos every week— and now it had been years since they’d even been in the same time zone. But standing here with him, studying the lines of his face, already smiling so wide her cheeks hurt, Kiara would swear it’s been seven minutes instead of the visceral seven years.

    Summary

    JJ buffers, looks at her like she were to rip it all away, this sentiment. "If you don't hate my guts after. Kind of a risk since you're my best friend, Kie."

    She shakes her head. "I won't hate you. I want it." but then there's a long, wallowed sigh that sits in the air. "It's probably, like, a really shitty idea though. Right?"

    "Shit. You're founder of the leaders, so, maybe not."

    Kiara gradually grins all funny, turns to him looking at her, and all he does is smirks back.

     

    Kiara and JJ add benefits to their friendship.

    Summary

    JJ opened one eye at her and smirked, “Somethin’ botherin’ you this fine evening?”

    “Oh, you know, just homeless, hungry, poor, no family, and John B and I got in a fight ‘cause he keeps acting so weird … other than that, everything’s just peachy.” Sarah looked at him, turning her head to see him looking at her with a sad expression. It was an expression she’d never only really seen on JJ once before, it was a face of recognition.

    “Welcome to the club,” JJ pulled his hat down over his eyes as he said, “too broke to be Kook, and apparently now, too orphaned to be a Pogue.”

    Or, Sarah doesn't go with Topper. Instead, she goes back to the chateau where she finds JJ waiting for John B to come home.

    OR Sarah chose one small different path that changes the trajectory of every one of the Pogue's lives.

    or... Sarah just really ships Kie and JJ and will be JJ's therapist if it means he stops being an idiot and tells her he loves her. Lots of jiara, lots of pogues being pogues.

    Summary

    “Would you…” Kie stopped, because how the hell was she supposed to ask this question? And especially to this boy. John B would have been a little too earnest and specific, Pope would have been awkward and scientific, but with JJ, everything was a joke. She couldn’t bear it if she got made fun of for this.

    But JJ just blinked at her, his gaze steady and soft blue. He wasn’t the right boy, exactly, but he was the one in front of her. The one who stayed.

    "Do you think you would kiss me?"

    (five times Kiara kissed the wrong boy, and one time she kissed the right one - for jiara week 2023, day 6: 5+1)

    Summary

    There’s the fourth member, too. JJ. Bass, the boy who sounded like every sun she had watched crawl over the horizon from the beach. The boy whose gaze she had met in the crowd like their eyes were magnets seeking each other out. Quietest onstage, but used his instrument like he was born with it. He doesn’t go for a towel or a journalist: instead, one of the roadies come up to him, takes his bass, then tapes up his thumb with gaffa tape and cotton wool. There’s a line of dried blood that runs down the inside of his palm, and he sucks it into his mouth, pink mouth becoming even pinker. His hair, dusty blond, dark gold with perspiration, sticks to his forehead.

    Kie thinks, oh.

     

    or, Kiara is a music journalist waiting for her big break, and JJ is the bassist in a band that might just be the answer.
