Summary
They got out, sure. But none of that meant anything. Ten times Taissa sees Van again. In dingy motel rooms, in borrowed dresses, across tables where no one said what they meant. They didn’t touch, except when they did. It never stopped wanting. It just changed shape. Some things stay on the body longer than bruises. Something between them will never leave.

Summary
So winter goes on like that, dull and stuffy and claustrophobic. The apartment is small, their tempers smaller. It's no surprise when one of them finally loses it, finally brings it up.
"This isn't working," Nat says one day, early spring, and Travis feels his heart plummet to his ass, before Nat turns to look him dead in the eye and says, "Let's take a vacation."
Travis blinks. "Yeah, alright."
or, travis and natalie, post rescue, falling back in love... at the beach!

Summary
“All done.” Lottie stood up, threw away the gauze, and walked towards the bathtub. She turned on the faucet and looked back at Nat. “Don’t take this the wrong way, but you need a bath. With, like, a ton of perfumed soap.”
Nat laughed. “You do, too.”
“Good thing this bathtub is big enough.” Lottie winked. She walked back towards Nat and helped her take off her clothes slowly, careful not to touch her nose. Nat was sure she was looking at Lottie like she held the moon and the stars, a goddess to worship.
or
Four times Lottie helped Nat wash up, and one time Nat helped her.

Summary
"Are you here because you want to be?" Lottie asks, fingers dancing up Natalie's sides. "Or is it because Travis ignored your calls again?”
It starts because Shauna needs to make sure no one finds out about what happened out there. It continues because… well, Natalie’s trying to figure that out.
Or, Natalie visits Lottie throughout the years after rescue.

Summary
Nat doesn’t remember much of the rescue.
She can’t forget the haul up the mountain, the way the hours stretched into nothing but the white of the snow, the sting of the wind against her fingers. The way the sun burned. That churning, terrible panic. The crack of the voice through the SAT phone, the beauty of it, the shaking and desperate relief.Travis is gone. In July, Lottie calls from her father’s apartment in the city.

Summary
Nat isn’t sure why she’s calling Misty, but she has Misty’s number memorized and sometimes it buzzes in her head at times like these. Nat got out of rehab two days ago and made it to a bar today. Getting drunk is better than calling her dealer, so Nat justified it. But she only had two drinks before she started feeling guilty and thinking of the money Tai had just spent on her. Normally, she probably would keep drinking, but she really just wanted someone to comfort her. The answer was obvious, who she wanted comfort from. It wasn’t the first time she’d thought of calling Misty like this.
----
It's been three years since the Yellowjackets got rescued from the wilderness, and it seems like Misty and Natalie are going in opposite directions. Misty has a nursing job and lives in her own apartment while Natalie is crashing at a motel after her most recent stint at rehab. Not too long ago, though, Natalie was staying at Misty's apartment. Since then, they've barely spoken in months until Natalie calls Misty from outside of a bar seeking comfort and a ride to Misty's apartment.

Summary
Misty tilts her head and knocks again, so Natalie rolls the window down. “What the fuck are you doing?” she asks stupidly.
Unsurprisingly, Misty ignores the question. “Hey, Nat,” she chirps, as though it’s only been a week since they’d last seen each other instead of three and a half years. “Thought I recognized you!”
Or: Nat tries (and fails) to blackmail Misty into staying away from the press. Five months later, they meet again at Shauna's wedding.

Summary
VYH is Vevobly's Yellowjackets Headcanons for short. I figured it was way too long for a title, so I changed it. Anyways! As the title says, these are my personal yellowjackets reader insert headcanons. Some were made out of my boredom, some were requested, and some were suggested by my friends. Nonetheless, I hope you devour and enjoy them.

Summary
“That means I’ll see you next year,” Lottie said, smiling like they were friends and not just two people who sometimes nodded at each other in the halls.
Natalie would lay in bed later that night and wonder if that was what it felt like to be seen. To have the layers peeled back like the skin of an orange, to be admired pith and all. She wondered if Lottie felt that way all the time, like the whole world was watching, hanging on her every move. If it got exhausting to be adored. Or if she even felt that way at all, if being stared at like the most important thing in the room was so normal that she didn’t even notice.
Somehow, she didn’t think so.
A pathetic, “Uh yeah, I guess you will,” was all she could muster.
And as Lottie walked away, Natalie couldn’t shake the feeling that she had somehow irreversibly screwed herself.
Icarus, meet fucking sun.
(The years before, during, and after Natalie’s descent into hell. 1991–?)

Summary
“Tell me again,” Jackie says, barely audible. Her cheeks burn, and if it were anyone but Shauna, they wouldn’t have noticed the way her bottom lip quivered. “Please.”

Summary
Nat pretends to mumble along. She forgot this one, or maybe she never even learned it. She remembers the Hail Mary, though. She thought of it when the plane was going down, during her hunt, on the mountain trying to call for rescue.
She recited it over the pile of Mari's bones, when she'd come back to camp.
or, nat's guilt after mari.

—or—
Jackie and Shauna get to chat (it doesn’t go all that well), the surviving Yellowjackets all sneak out of their respective hospital rooms to sleep in Jackie’s room, Van commits some mild Van-dalism, and everyone pretends that everything is normal for one night.
