    Summary

    It’s been two years since the wilderness. Shauna’s 21, hates her job at the grocery store, and today a somehow still alive, 42-year-old Jackie Taylor ends up in her checkout line—with no idea who she is.

    Or

    Maturity looks really good on Jackie. Shauna wants to taste it.

    Summary

    Summary

    "Hiya, Shipman."

    Shauna bolts back up, eyes wide, just to see: Jackie, sitting in the corner of the small hut like she's always been there, a fixture, as typical as the sticks. She has that same smirk, that same impossible calm, impossible smugness, all the things she used to have before the cold, the feast, the snow, the crash.

    This Jackie, the one sitting in front of her like she belongs here, flourishes. Shauna isn't sure she would've been brave enough to argue with this Jackie the night of the first snow. She thinks she would've shrunk back into herself and let the resentment fester like an infection or like maggots in a corpse and said, yes, Jackie, and turned to spend the night outside.

    (She also thinks that Jackie would've stopped her, when she was getting ready to swing the door shut behind her. Even if she was mad. She would've checked up on Shauna, or come outside to lay her jacket over her shoulders as she slept. That thought makes her sick, though, so she pushes it away.)

    "Jesus fucking Christ," she mutters.

    "Just me."

    Summary

    A night of Shauna feeling especially self-destructive (cruising for women, talking to Jackie's ghost, and burning bridges with the only people in her corner).

    Canon compliant enough for me to call it that. Eleven years post return.

    Summary

    “What do you see?” Jackie leaned back slightly, still holding the netting tight around Shauna’s upper face.

    “Nothing.”

    Her vision was spotty, mostly black with tinges of greens and blue. If she concentrated hard enough, she could identify the outline of the net, and Jackie’s silhouette lingering.

    She felt Jackie’s hands behind her head play with the fabric, twisting and turning it until her head jolted back. Jackie had knotted the fabric and tied it tight across Shauna’s face. Her hands dropped from behind Shauna’s head and cradled her face. Her thumbs rubbed hotly across Shauna’s lips.

    “What do you feel?”

    “Everything,” Shauna replied.
