Did You Mean It When You Kissed Me? (Or Was That Just Another Game We're Playing?) by filmfanatic82
Fandoms: Yellowjackets (TV)
09 Sep 2025

Summary
Wiskayok All-Girls School has rules. Don't wear your uniform skirt too short. Don't miss curfew. And definitely don't fall in love with your roommate.
Jackie Taylor had her senior year mapped out: win nationals, maintain her perfect GPA, keep boyfriend Jeff around for appearances, and follow her family to Princeton. What wasn't planned? Those complicated feelings for best friend Shauna going way beyond their usual physical affection—or how junior striker Melissa keeps looking at Shauna like she's the only girl worth seeing.
When Shauna's secret Brown application threatens their carefully constructed world, Jackie must face truths she's been avoiding—about herself, her sexuality, and why she can't stop thinking about Shauna... naked.
They're not the only ones breaking rules. Van explores their gender identity with their extra supportive girlfriend Taissa, who'd burn down the school if it meant Van could breathe easier. And Nat trades booze and cigarettes for something dangerous—real feelings for the medicated chaos that is Lottie Matthews.
Some rules are meant to be broken. Some walls are meant to be torn down. Some loves are worth fighting the whole damn world for.

Summary
For the 68th Annual Hunger Games, 24 tributes are reaped from each of the twelve districts to battle it out for survival.
This year, it comes with a slight twist that changes the whole nature of the game.
____________Her mind has only started to drift when the first name is reaped.
“Natalie Scatorccio.”
Van’s hand tightens sharply around her’s before Nat has even registered what had happened, both protective and begging. It makes her head swim but still, like muscle memory of reapings past, she shuffles through the solemn crowd to take her place on the platform.
____________Or, Yellowjackets hunger games AU with the right amount of doomed romance.

Summary
“Whatever you say, Princess,” She replies. She crawls over hesitantly, settling down on the blanket at the far edge, not wanting to encroach on Lottie’s space. Lottie, however, beats her to it– she scoots over a little bit, their knees nearly knocking together. “I wasn’t sure if Her Highness wanted a measly peasant on her fine-threaded blanket.”
“I practice philanthropy,” Lottie shrugs, but the furrow of her brow, the careful, confused smile betrays her. “What’s with the… princess?”
If Nat didn’t know better, she’d think she was blushing.
“Cause you’re, like, a Disney Princess,” She says, raising an eyebrow. Lottie only looks more confused. Nat lets out an exasperated breath, more fond than annoyed, “Dude, you sit in nature, for one. Second, you go out into the forest and sing to the animals–”
“–I never said I sang–”
“–That’s called making an inference, Princess,” Nat stares at her, and Lottie stares at her too, and Nat stares back. Neither of them back down.
Lottie, too, raises an eyebrow, “Where I come from, they call that jumping to conclusions.”

When you get a taste, can you tell me what's my flavor? by Daughter_Of_Sappho

Summary
Van was the first to break the silence. “Was that… okay?” The question felt clumsy, small, but it was all they could really manage.
Tai was staring up at the blanket ceiling, hands resting on her stomach, her posture still somehow composed. She listened to the rain drumming faintly against the roof. A small smile curved at her lips. Of course it was okay. It was Van, and everything about them was perfect.
“Yeah.” She said softly, and she left it at that.
Neither of them said love. Not that night. That word wouldn’t arrive until months later. After the crash, in the white-knuckled cold of winter. In the cabin, when it wasn’t really Tai but the other one and they bit Van. Van wanted to prove it didn’t matter, because to them it didn’t.
But they didn’t need the word back then. Love hummed in the air between them, unspoken but certain, and both of them knew.

Summary
Taissa found herself lost in the music, dancing and laughing alongside her friends as the band sang a mixture of covers and originals. She felt like she was in a trance, put under a spell that was only broken when the singer started to speak into the microphone near the end of the set.
“We’re reaching the end of the set, and before we wrap up, we wanted to get one last cover in for you guys,” the singer said. “And for this one, I’m going to need some help, so Van, if you would join me up here.”
The redhead smiled as the other girls and the audience cheered, waving as they stood beside the singer.
At that moment, Taissa found herself under an entirely new spell.
When the Yellowjackets come home to play a local festival, bassist Van Palmer is determined to reunite with the girl they saw dancing in the front row of the band’s shows before they blew up.

Summary
Tai turned to Van, the glow of the television soft on their face, and smiled.
“I’m so glad today went well.” She whispered, as if the night was too sacred to disturb with anything louder.
Van nodded, their reply just as quiet. “Me too.”
And that was all they needed to say.
Before long, Van drifted off, head resting on Tai’s shoulder, breath slow and steady. Tai watched them for a moment, heart full to bursting, then pressed a gentle kiss to their temple. Her eyes fluttered shut.
This was what family was meant to feel like. Not perfect. Not performative. Just real, safe, warm… and hers.

Summary
“Well, in that case…” Tai trailed off, voice teasing again. But her eyes searched Van’s, hoping, daring, pleading silently for them to make a move so she wouldn’t have to.
And they did.
With sudden, breathtaking certainty, Van reached across the space between them, curled their fingers in the collar of Tai’s shirt, and kissed her. Not softly. Not sweetly. But like they had been waiting weeks for this. Like they couldn’t hold it in another second.

Van Palmer own the local VHS store, and Taissa Turner is a local law student who finds herself there more and more often. Less for the tapes, and more for the owner. But she made a promise. No distractions.

Summary
Up close, she was even more dazzling. There was an elegance to her, but also something grounded. Sharp intelligence behind her eyes, the weight of someone who knew how to carry a room. She didn’t try to draw attention, it just fell to her, naturally.
Van’s heart thudded in their chest, and they had about three seconds to collect themself.
They summoned the practiced ease of a thousand nights behind this very bar, painted on their most charming customer service smile, and stepped forward.
“Hey.” They said, their voice mercifully steady. “What can I get started for you?”
OR
25-year-old Van Palmer is a bartender. Their nights are often spent serving drinks and wiping tables, and whatever spare time they had was spent caring for their sick mother. Taissa Turner is a 43-year-old lawyer and recent divorcee who found herself in Van's bar. They find love in some unexpected places.

Summary
The door creaked open, a thin sliver of light spilling across the floor. Sidney stepped inside, her presence as quiet as the knock that summoned her only moments before.
Van’s breath caught in their chest. Something was off.
Sid— all of thirteen and still somewhere between childhood and adolescence— stood there with her arms crossed tight, like they were the only thing holding her together.
“Mom, mama…” Her voice was thin as it trailed off. “Can we… uh, can we talk?”
Or
Tai and Van have a beautiful kid. Sidney. One of the two best things to ever happen to them. One of their prides and joys. One day, she decides she has something to tell them.

Summary
She looked up slowly, taking them in fully now. The eyes. The jawline. The air of gentle chaos, like a storm caught in human form. With the force of memory slamming a door open in her head, it hit her.
Vanessa Palmer.
It was Van. Tai’s Van.
Aged, but undeniable.
Of course it was.

Summary
It was a bad dream. He’d been up late, thinking about Nationals. His mind, admittedly, had drifted to the dynamics between his players. He liked to think of himself as above high school drama, but even he’d noticed the tension between even the closest members of the Yellowjackets. It made sense, then, that his mind had conjured up wild imaginings of cannibalism and hysteria. Sometimes it really did feel like these girls were one plane crash away from tearing each other apart. But in this moment, as he turned to survey the plane, they seemed so earnest, chattering amongst each other like they were real friends.
He couldn’t help it. His eyes drifted to Lottie, still unnerved from their earlier interaction. Her window had fogged up, and he watched her draw on it with her fingertip. She paused, hesitant, staring at her work. Ben craned his head to see more clearly what she was drawing as she nodded to herself, pressing her shaking finger to her seat window to strike a line through the triangle at the bottom of the symbol as the plane gave out.
An AU where Coach Scott wakes up after Season 3 back on that fuckass plane and tries (mostly unsuccessfully) to save these insane teenage girls from each other.

Summary
When Melissa transferred to Wiskayok High, the plan had seemed pretty simple: get in, reconnect with Gen, keep her head down, and get out. Just fly under the radar and under absolutely no circumstances do anything that would get herself noticed by the wider student-body, because the last time that had happened it had been a literal fucking nightmare. Evidently however, she’d already messed that up, because one late-September lunch period she’d been minding her business eating a sandwich alone only to look up and find a pair of deep brown eyes staring at her from across the table.
Or
The year is 2004 and Melissa is a nerdy trans girl just trying to survive high school and then get the hell out of there. Then she meets Shauna.

Summary
“Do you ever think you’ll get married?” Tai asked. Van stopped in their tracks, trying to think of a response.
“I, uh, I don’t know. I don’t think so.” They said back, uncertainty filling the air around them.
“Why not?” Tai questioned.

Summary
The knocking sound happens again, louder this time, and Van think that it might not be trees breaking. Fuck, Vicky. If you’re gonna blow into town at least remember your goddamn key.
Van gets up from the couch, trudging over to the door, turning the deadbolt and removing the chain lock before opening the door. Their face immediately switches from frustration to shock as they see a young woman, soaked to the bone, standing on their doorstep.
“Oh my god Tai, are you okay? What are you doing here?”
After a year apart, Van finds Tai on their doorstep.
