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.

Summary
Jackie means mating for life. Devoted, bonded, willing to die to sustain the other. Shauna, Jackie figures, means friends.
Either way, she’s Jackie’s. Jackie’s to watch, to touch, to love from afar, and to carry through life.
Until death.
Jackie would give all of herself too, eventually, if Shauna wanted it.
Would let her pick at her piece by piece until she’s consumed within her, flesh from the bone and two become one.Life’s easy for Jackie Taylor, high school’s even easier. Her only inconvenience is the small fact that she’s desperately in love with Shauna Shipman and can’t do anything about it. Nothing major.
So she yearns, close and overbearing. The only thing worse than losing Shauna would be to truly find herself. Every girl dreams about kissing her best friend, right?
That’s life.
