    Summary

    Van lets herself say, “I miss you.” On the other end of the line Tai is silent for a minute too long. Van wants to curl up and die.
    But then Tai says, “Come see me next weekend.” And even though next weekend is days away, Van feels the irrational urge to lock up the shop right now and run for the bus to the train station.

    Van goes down to DC to visit Tai at school for a weekend. Turns out they're not done losing things to the wilderness.

    Summary

    Shauna bites her lip hard enough to taste the metallic tang of her own blood. There’s screaming in the wind. Is it her? Doesn’t matter. Jackie isn’t waking up. The old mantra kicks up in Shauna's head again, more deafening than ever before. Jackie Jackie Jackie-

    And then Jackie breathes.

    It’s just the faintest bit of steam in the lantern's light. Jackie’s face is still covered in ice. Her eyes don’t open, her lips don’t move. But Shauna’s heart restarts.

     

    Or: Lottie wakes up the night of the snowstorm and Jackie lives. But there's always a price to pay, in the woods.

    Summary

    As Jackie’s rolling up the magazine to throw it out, her eyes catch on one last line.

    The baby’s father…

    It leaves the same acidic taste in her mouth that any reminder of Jeff does. But it also plants this abrupt little idea in her head. A tiny worm in her apple.

    This wouldn’t have happened to Noah and Shauna if they were with Jeff.

     

    Or: Jackie navigates coparenting and insecurity in the years following their rescue. A family finds its footing.

    Summary

    “'What about the team?' her mom prods. Shauna looks up at her in surprise. Her mom falters. 'It might be nice – to support you – since Jackie can’t be there –'
    It’s not worth fighting. Besides, they’ve all seen her at much lower moments than signing her life away to Jeff Sadecki. She adds their names."

    It's December 1998. The Yellowjackets have made it back safely from the wilderness and gone their separate ways. Until Shauna's wedding invitations land in their mailboxes and bring them back together again. Chaos ensues.

    Inspired by the scene from season 2 episode 5 where Tai and Van talk about replacing the guestbook pen at Shauna's wedding with the naked lady pen and scandalizing Jackie's mom.
