I do have a part 2 of the waterfront au smut coming, but in the meantime, I wanted to lay some groundwork for the au itself:

Kara is adopted into the Kent Family, an old fishing family in the Carolinas with a history of drug smuggling. Ma and Pa Kent love her, but she never once believes they love her as much as their actual son, Clark. It's plain in the way they promote him to run the fishery despite his various fumbles and bumbles throughout the years, while keeping Kara front of house at the restaurant (which she hates and resents). It smacks of expectations to stand there and look pretty while the men do the real work.

Clark doesn't have Kara's business sense, nor her knack with numbers. Within just a few years under Clark's control, the family business is at risk of going under and taking the family name down with it. So when Clark is approached by some drug dealers to run shipments for them in exchange for some quick money, Clark takes the offer, unwittingly ensaring the family in a web of cartels and rival familes, and putting their lines in jeopardy.

Kara is the first to realize what Clark's doing. She goes rooting in his ledgers to find evidence of poor management to show Ma and Pa Kent, proof that Clark was the wrong choice to take the lead. Instead she finds evidence of the smuggling, and instead of bringing it to Ma and Pa, she brings it to her lover-- DEA Agent Lena Walsh-- with a plan to take Clark down for good. After all, Kara can't say for sure that Pa Kent won't turn a blind eye to Clark's actions: he's done it before, and though Pa himself got out of the game when his own father died, smuggling *is* the Kent family way. He wouldn't hold Clark accountable.

So the DEA will.

Lena is eager for the chance. It would be a big notch in her belt as an agent, and would look good on her resume. But more importantly, it would get Kara where she wants to be. Kara would run the fishery and the family restaurant, and the family will prosper, which will then fuel the economy of the little beach town of Havenport.

But before Kara and Lena can move in on Clark, he's double-crossed by his supplier, sparking a chain of events that will threaten the lives of the entire Kent family-- and the lives of everyone they love.
