SUMMARY: Natalie doesn't have any friends, but she absolutely has Jackie Taylor. She doesn't know what they are; she just knows her life is so much better with her in it. The night before they leave for Nationals (aided by a lot of alcohol), the two confront their messy, complicated feelings they have with themselves, each other, their teammates, and their futures. Neither of them is sure about any of it, besides the fact that no matter what happens, they really do want to be in each other's futures. One way or another.
After a plane crash, months of survival in the wilderness, and one or two broken hearts, the Yellowjackets have found themselves facing winter on the brink of starvation.
Nat literally cannot take it anymore. When she finds out Jackie's birthday is soon arriving, to make the night as special and as memorable as she possibly can, she wants to show the prom queen something she'll never forget; So, Nat acquires some psychedelic mushrooms to liven up the evening and cut loose because, hey, you only live once, right?
… right?

Presently, this is 110k words and four chapters; the outline is clocking in at 20. This is gonna be a wild ride; I can only hope a few people enjoy it. This *is* my first attempt at writing a YJ fic, so I just ask that people be civil.
