Summary
"She’s different now, honey. There’s something—I don’t know what happened out there, but she’s not the same as you remember. Just don’t take it personally."
Deb’s words rattle around Jackie’s skull as she stands outside the hospital room. The plain wooden door seems to mock her. Why can’t she grab it? Why is she just standing there?
"She’s not the same as you remember."
Jackie's appendix ruptures the morning she's supposed to board the plane to Nationals. The flight never makes it to Seattle. Two years later, rescuers find the team alive, and Jackie thinks her nightmare is finally ending. Except the Shauna that returns to their hometown is not the same as the one who left.

Summary
“Why do you even care?” Jackie emphasized.
“Because we’re a fucking team, Jackie. We need to remember that or this- this is all gonna go to shit, I can see it.” Nat tilted her head, her gaze intense and inescapable. “You may not be my favorite person-”
“Gee, thanks,” Jackie mumbled.
“Shut up,” Nat said sharply, her voice becoming a tense whisper. “Can you just listen? You’re one of the few people who still seem to have their head screwed on. You’re not checking out and leaving me alone with the mob that got high and tried to sacrifice Travis to the trees or whatever the fuck that was, okay? The team needs you, Cap.”

Summary
[Pre-crash / No crash AU]
They've been best friends since childhood, but Shauna has two massive secrets she keeps from Jackie: That she's desperately in love with her, and that she also deeply resents her.
With a few months left until their high school graduation and Nationals on the table, everything changes for Jackie and Shauna when Jackie breaks up with Jeff and one of their usual late-night makeouts crosses a line that can't be un-crossed. As their friendship turns sexual, Shauna tries to decode what it all means while she waits for an acceptance letter from Brown and hopes to leave Jackie—and the feelings she's always had for her—behind.
