Summary
'she's been sleepwalking every night,' simone says, 'every night for two weeks,' and that startles you so much you almost forget you’re pretending to be asleep.
yesterday night, for sure, and thursday of last week, but other than that you’ve woken up in bed. you’ve woken up warm, and comfortable, and tangled up with the woman you’re supposed to marry in forty-three days.

Summary
it’s dark, and you’re drunk enough that your vision swims, but there are some faces you’ll remember forever.
‘holy fuck,’ you say. ‘martinez?’
her hair’s just a bit shorter than yours, but still longer than it ever got out there, brushing against her collarbones, something like fury in her eyes.

Summary
'jacqueline,' your mother calls from downstairs, ‘your tomboy friend is here,’ and you throw the glitter eyeliner into your backpack. maybe you can show van how to do it, and you feel so charitable thinking about it that you grab an extra yellow bow you’ll lend her for the end of her braid.

Summary
when you wake up the next morning, stiff and mostly slumped over onto the arm of the couch, you almost expect her to be gone. to have taken her bags, and your keys, and the cold anger you still can’t reconcile with van.
but: she’s still here. she’s asleep, somehow, despite the light streaming through the windows. you sit, silent, somehow still unbelieving. that she’s curled up on your couch, on the couch your wife picked out, in the house you decorated with nothing but who you should be in mind.

Summary
There was something cruel about the timing of it. While Nat was making contact with the world, Mari was leaving bloody footprints in the snow. The horn had sounded through the trees and Van had approached that pit in the ground like a sick dog to the gun. In the aftermath, rescue had felt like a suffocating hand clapped over her mouth.

Summary
There’s a better version of you living at the surface. She dangles close, and you could slide into her like a second skin, if only you knew how to press yourself into the right shape.
Wait, you want to yell, I can do it
but you are so, so tired.

Summary
"Her boss Meg reminds her of Natalie, a bit, and the elementary school lunch lady who would yell at them to stop fooling around in line but never made them pay for the full-fat milk cartons she slipped into their hands, as if she could tell by their boniness alone that Vera and Vicky never bothered to fill out the forms for free and reduced lunch."
Or, Van's not alone in the years after Taissa and before her return, at least not for a little while.

Summary
“We have to break her, Tai,” Shauna said, handing Tai the knife. “We can’t trust her.”
“She’s a liability,” Tai said, frowning into the gleam of Shauna’s knife. “She knows the mountains better than any of us. If she got away…”
“Exactly,” Shauna hissed. “Do you see what I fucking mean now?”
“You’re right,” Tai said to Shauna’s metallic reflection. She tucked the knife away.
“Show me the blood when you come back.”
--The Yellowjackets reunite in Wiskayok for Shauna's wedding. The past comes with them.
