Summary
Her parents are in the kitchen of The Bear. Where else would they be? Sydney’s dicing onions, Carmen’s grating garlic. For a moment Eulalia just stands there in the doorway, watching them, letting how much she loves them fill up her whole heart. Her mother says something, too quiet for Eulalia to hear, and her father laughs, and nudges her shoulder with his own. He’s always touching her. When she was a child, Eulalia thought everyone’s parents were like that, putting their hands on each other and kissing and talking in a language even their children don’t fully understand. It was only when she got older she realized how untrue that was. She’s lucky, she knows that now. Most people are planted in dust and expected to grow.
Sydney’s baby grows up.

Summary
Carmy’s making pot au feu for dinner. Sydney made fun of him when he suggested it - “it’s just so fucking French, Carm!” - but she’d felt bad when he blushed and scrubbed a hand through his hair and mumbled something about wanting to nourish them. Her and Eulalia. She can’t really argue with that.
Carmy makes dinner for Sydney and her daughter.

Summary
Sydney thinks that if she found out she was pregnant a little earlier she probably wouldn’t have gone through with it. Like, if she found out before her landlord changed the locks on her apartment, or before the bank sent her all those red letters, or before the pasta dried up, she’d probably have just taken herself to Planned Parenthood, popped the pills and charged it to the game. But as it is, the two blue lines appear on the stick during the worst months of her life, the first months of the pandemic when she’s unemployed and shit scared that her dad is going to get coronavirus and die. And when she sees them, she just thinks: well, this might as well happen. She was a disappointment before. What’s one more thing?
Before she meets Carmy, Sydney has a baby.

and we'll be laughing about how we used to smoke by emilybrontay

Summary
“Okay,” she said, “okay, but I mean like, when I imagine my life - like I don’t want a baby right now. If I got pregnant now… chance would be a fine fucking thing but if I got pregnant now, I would be like, hello Planned Parenthood, one abortion please.”
He laughed a little. “I’m not saying now…” he said.
“Right, well. I mean, yeah, I want my own spot and I want a book with my face on and I want a fucking star and after I’ve got all that, maybe, yeah,” she thought about Sophia, and the weight of her, the powdery, sugary smell of her, “Yeah, it would be nice. To have a little baby. But I don’t know, man, can you imagine me as a mom?”
He said nothing for several heartbeats. “Yeah,” he said, “yeah, I can.”
Sometimes, he just knocked her out.Title from Five Years Time by Noah and the Whale.

An Unofficial Anthology of the Online Fandom for the Yellowjackets Tragedy by banerries
Fandoms: Yellowjackets (TV)
23 Feb 2025
Tags
Summary
Ever since their fateful crash in 1996, the Yellowjackets tragedy has captured public fascination like nothing else before or since. As their disappearance and eventual recovery coincided with the growth of the modern internet, an online fandom has always existed, whether in the form of newsgroups, blogs, forums, subreddits, or hashtags. Compiling it all would be impossible, and much of it has been lost to time (particularly since the death of Geocities), but several cataloguing attempts have been made. This is one of them.
(Or: a look at the in-universe fandom surrounding the crash, its victims, and its survivors. Forum fic, Reddit fic, Discord fic, Tumblr fic, etc.)

"You know," Toby said, pulling a cigar out of his inside coat pocket and regarding it thoughtfully, "I never found your relationship with Donna particularly baffling. I just figured you ran on sexual frustration like the rest of us."
