Summary
“Last year, Jackie Taylor got hit like a freight train by Matthews—suffered a third-degree concussion and lost hearing in her right ear. She was planning to try out for the Olympic team. Now she’s lucky to be alive.” Martinez gestures to the newspaper again. “Taylor’s back with the Yellowjackets, but she can barely play. She’s timid, nervous—absolutely terrified of being on the ice.”
“What’s this gotta do with me?”
“The Yellowjackets wanna hire you, Shipman.” Martinez smiles. “They want you out there protecting Taylor. Help her get her confidence back. She was one of the best in the league before that hit.”
“They’re hiring me to play bodyguard?” Shauna mutters, eyes glued to how breakable Jackie Taylor looks. “Okay. Yeah. I’ll—yeah, sure, I accept.”
Or
A hockey au where Shauna is an enforcer hired to protect Jackie on the ice after an injury.

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
Directionless after flaming out of grad school, drinking herself to death alone in a squalid apartment, obsessed with someone who died almost a decade ago, 27-year-old Shauna Shipman is long past the point of hoping her life will get better. It doesn't help that one of her only friends, who she hasn't even seen in months, just dove headfirst off a hotel balcony. Apparently Lottie claimed she'd be "coming back soon"—but if there's one thing Shauna knows for sure, it's that dead people stay dead. Lottie's as gone as Jackie is, as gone as the rest of them, and she won't be coming back, not soon, not ever. Obviously.
Asleep on the floor of the cabin as the first snow started to fall, Lottie made a bargain with the wilderness. Years later, confined in the mountains of Switzerland, months of isolation and electroshock unearthed something in her mind - not a figment of her imagination, but not quite a memory either. She's pretty sure she knows what happens next.
(A story about survivor's guilt, resurrection, and being in gay love with your friends.)
