Summary
25-year-old Van Palmer (freshly heartbroken and living on Melissa's couch) needs roommates... And fast. Enter: Nat Scatorccio (fresh from rehab, definitely queer, probably flight risk) and Jackie Taylor (running from her compulsory heteronormative life, definitely NOT queer, according to Jackie).
What follows is a year-long masterclass in queer self-discovery featuring: Van's comprehensive flannel naming system, Nat's brutal honesty, Jackie's increasingly detailed "Gay Journey" notebook, and the slowest-burn Shauna/Jackie reconciliation in queer history.
No plane crash. No cannibalism. Just three queer disasters in a Brooklyn walk-up learning that found family isn't about survival—it's about choosing to stay.

Summary
“Sure, I'll do it,” Nat agrees. Against her better judgement, maybe, but fuck it—she’s never been one for smart decisions, and she won't start now. “I'll be your arm candy, rage bait, whatever. Just don’t go falling in love with me or anything.”
The corner of Lottie’s mouth curls upwards, showing her crooked tooth. “I’ll do my best.”
She holds out her right hand, waiting. Nat reaches out and takes it, and there: an agreement struck by words, bound by skin. Down the hall, across sun-drenched tiling, the shadows of tree branches stretch out like antlers below them.

Summary
Nat slows, hands in her jacket pockets and brows slightly raised because she’s never exactly been close with Lottie.
Yet there she is, peeling a menacing gaze away from the group of boys and settling a soft one upon Natalie once she spots her, all long brown hair and tan skin and god, Nat is always fucking winded at how tall she is.
or,
—Do you have any weapons on you?
—I have a longing that's killing me.

come to my window (crawl inside by the light of the moon) by alilbitgay

Summary
It’s just that sometimes, she thinks about Lottie, standing in her backyard, her eyes all soft in the starlight and her hair messy from climbing out of bed. Her mind slips past the memory, and the rain starts pouring down, and they stand there getting soaked and just looking at each other, and Nat feels like she’s reading poetry in Lottie’s eyes.
or: 4 times lottie climbs through nat's bedroom window, and one time nat returns the favor.

Summary
A week before Nationals, the Yellowjackets are primed for a bonding weekend. In the woods. Where they are all definitely equipped for camping and enough gay panic to fuel a plane.
(A Tumblr prompt fill [anon]: Instead of the plane crashing into the Wilderness—the team willingly goes camping in the woods, in order to team bond before nationals (Jackie's idea).)
