if you are reading this, it means you have been invited to the very exclusive 17th birthday extravaganza thrown for and by none other then misty quigley!!! dress code = rainbow! be sure to show up ON time 7:00pm sharp. can't wait to see you there!
~~~~~
A/N } this took me an exeedingly long time to write but honestly i love their dynamic sm and this idea needed to be done justice, hope you enjoy :)
misty invited practically all of wiskayak high. she made sure to handcraft 63 invites (13 more then she needed) just to ensure that everyone she knew or had been in contact with in the past year was able to receive the invitation. she invited her homeroom, english, spanish and pre-calc classes. as well as everyone in the afterschool band club (she wasnt in band but she often walked through the band room to get to the girls locker room after school before soccer set up) and of course, the entirety of the wiskyak girls soccer team.
it was now the night of her party, misty sat bright eyed on her couch as some rerun played on the television waiting for 7:00pm to arrive. earlier in the day she'd made sure to decorate and break out all the games her family owned, she got all dressed up and even spent 2 hours making 63 cupcakes in hopes that everyone would show up. her parents had left in the morning to give her the house, she was elated, a whole house to herself with no parental permission? every teenager dreamed of this, she had the chance of a lifetime, a chance to have the most epic 17th birthday party ever.
so misty waited.
and waited.
and waited.
until an hour passed and the sun started to set.
the pang in her chest had almost settled, honestly, misty knew no one would come. well, she hoped that at least a few of the girls from the soccer team would show up for a few hours at least. or one of the teacher she invited but- no. so instead she reached out to grab a cupcake off the coffee table. she slowly peeled back the wrapper as the incoherint babble of full house rang through the living room. and just before she was about to take a bite. her doorbell rang.
wait.
the doorbell?!?!
her brows furrowed as she walked up to the door, surely it was the mailman or a mormon trying to convert her but- no it couldnt be the mormons they stopped coming to the quigley house after misty debated them last time they came by... but no way anyone actually bothered showing up for the party. as she stood on her toes to look out the peephole she saw who it was.
"jackie?" misty exclaims puzzled as she opens the door revealing the brown haired girl holding a small box at mistys doorstep.
"sorry i'm late, i was trying to find a way to wrap your gift cus well- we ran out of wrapping paper so jeff had to drive me to the walgreens but then we got distracted..." jackie pauses shaking her head to offer the curly blonde the small giftwrapped box that was covered in pink heart wrapping.
"you..." misty stuttered before she stepped aside with a small- "come in." out of everyone who couldve showed up. jackie. jackie taylor. soccer captian jackie taylor. jackie taylor showed up to misty quigleys birthday party. as jackie looked around the room she couldnt help but notice the lack of people around. the room had been decked out in streamers and glitter but there was no one there to enjoy it. did no one show up to mistys birthday party?
"i am here on the right day, right?" she questions turning to see a pathetic looking misty standing holding the little box given to her mere moments ago. "yeah, yeah your here on the right day." she echos before letting out a small sigh and sitting down on the sofa depleated. "no one showed up." a pause. "thanks for stopping by but... you can go."
something about the blonde poodlehaired girl sitting there looking down at her feet looking like a deflated balloon made jackies heart sink. "well... if no one else is here. that means more fun for us." jackie reaches out to grab a cupcake off the table taking a bite and letting out a pleased groan at the sweet strawberry frosting. "i have no where to be. and these cupcakes are delicious. so lets have that party."
and so they did.
honestly it was more fun then whatever misty had planned anyways. and jackie was having the time of her life scarfing down cupcake ater cupcake, they sang kareoke, played an overdramatic version of clue where misty turned full theatre kid, and made little sock puppets of themselves all while giggling and laughing like they were kids again.
at some point jackie had gone to the bathroom and as she did she passed mistys room, curious the girl asked misty if she could have the tour and misty agreed. mistys room felt very... misty. covered in floral wallpaper, posters of ralph maccio and a novelty home phone shaped like lips on her dresser.
jackie stepped further inside, glancing around with a kind of curious amusement, fingers brushing over the edge of a neatly stacked pile of magazines. “wow,” she murmured, “you really… have a system.”
misty lingered near the doorway for a second before following, hovering just slightly behind her. “i like things organized,” she said quickly. “it makes everything easier.”
“yeah,” jackie nodded, turning in a slow circle before dropping onto the edge of the bed. “it’s cute.” misty blinked. “cute?”
“yeah,” jackie shrugged, flopping back onto her elbows. “it’s very you.” there was a pause. misty didn’t really know what to do with that, so she just moved to sit beside her, careful, like she didn’t want to take up too much space. but her eyes kept flickering back to jackie. like she was trying to memorize her.
jackie noticed. not in a bad way. just… in a way that made something in her chest twist. she cleared her throat slightly. “we should play something.”
“like what?”
jackie’s grin turned a little mischievous, a little reckless. “truth or dare.” misty frowned slightly. “i’ve never played.” jackie’s head snapped toward her. “seriously?”
“i know what it is,” misty added quickly. “i’ve just never… played it.” jackie softened at that, just a little. “okay. then i’ll teach you.” she clapped her hands once. “you go first. ask me, truth or dare?”
misty clears her throat. “truth or dare?”
“truth.”
misty hesitates, just for a second. “okay um- tell me some gossip. like, real gossip.”
jackie snorts. “that’s easy.” she shifts, turning onto her side to face misty. “okay - lottie’s been acting weird lately. like, more than usual. and i swear tai and van have a thing, even if they won’t say it.” misty smiles, small and contained, but there’s something brighter behind it now. like jackie laughing is… everything.
“okay uh- again. truth or dare?” misty says with a little more enthusiasm, safe to say she likes this game.“dare.” misty’s eyes flicker with something sharp for a second. “i dare you to… say something you’ve never told anyone.”
jackie raises a brow. “that’s barely a dare.”
“it is if you actually do it,” misty says.
jackie exhales, leaning back slightly, gaze drifting to the ceiling. “fine.” a pause. “sometimes i feel like if i stopped trying so hard to be… me, i don’t know if anyone would actually stick around.”
misty looks at her, really looks this time. like she’s seeing something she already suspected. “what do you mean?”
jackie shrugs, picking at the blanket. “like - captain jackie taylor. perfect life. perfect boyfriend.” her stomach twists a little at that. jeff. she pushes the thought down, fast. “if i mess that up…” she trails off, then shakes her head. “whatever. it’s stupid.”
“it’s not,” misty says, a little too quickly. “it makes sense.” jackie glances at her, surprised. “…thanks.” there’s a beat. something quieter settles between them.
“okay, your turn,” jackie says. “truth or dare?” misty thinks for a moment this time. “…dare.” jackie’s grin slowly spreads. and for a second - just a second - she doesn’t think about jeff. doesn’t think about expectations or labels or what she’s supposed to want.
she just looks at misty.
“okay,” she says, voice a little softer now. “i dare you to…” her eyes flick to misty’s lips before she can stop herself. “…kiss me.” the words hang there. and the second they’re out, jackie’s heart stutters. she almost takes it back. almost laughs it off. because she has a boyfriend. because she’s never, never, thought about misty like that.
misty goes very still.
“you don’t have to,” jackie adds quickly, a little breathless now. “i just- i mean, it’s a dare, so-” but misty leans in. and jackie forgets how to think. it’s not rushed. not messy. it’s careful. deliberate. like misty has thought about this - about her - far longer than she ever let on. her hand comes up, hovering for a second before settling lightly against jackie’s wrist, like she’s grounding herself.
jackie freezes - just for a second. then something shifts. she kisses back. her hand lifts almost without thinking, cupping the side of misty’s face, thumb brushing lightly against her cheek. misty inhales sharply at that, leaning in just a little more, like she’s chasing the contact.
it’s warm. closer than jackie expected. different than anything with jeff - less automatic, more… intentional. like every second means something. and that thought- that thought makes something twist in her chest.
they pull back after a few seconds. but not far. jackie’s still close enough to feel misty’s breath. her hand is still on her face. “…okay,” jackie murmurs, a little dazed. “that was… not what i expected.” misty swallows, eyes flicking down and then back up. “…was it bad?”
“no,” jackie says immediately. too fast. “no, it was-” she cuts herself off, letting out a quiet, almost nervous laugh. “it was good.” too good. that’s the problem.
her hand drops from misty’s face, fingers curling slightly like she doesn’t know what to do with them now. guilt creeps in, slow and unwelcome. jeff. the word sits heavy in her mind. she shifts back just a little, not enough to pull away completely, but enough to think.
“…i have a boyfriend,” she blurts, like she needs to say it out loud to make it real again. misty nods immediately. “i know.” of course she does. she knows everything. jackie searches her face for something - judgment, maybe. or expectation. but misty just looks… fascinated.
“that didn’t mean anything,” jackie says quickly, the words coming out before she can fully think them through. misty tilts her head slightly. “okay.” but she doesn’t look convinced. and jackie isn’t either.
there’s a pause.
“your turn,” jackie says finally, voice quieter now. misty blinks. “…truth or dare?” jackie hesitates. she should say truth. she should slow this down, pull back, reestablish something normal. she doesn’t.
“dare.”
misty watches her for a second longer than necessary. then, softer this time, “again.” jackie exhales, almost shaky. she knows she shouldn’t. she knows exactly why she shouldn’t. but misty is still looking at her like that - like she’s the most interesting thing in the world - and jackie has never been good at walking away from attention like that.
so she leans in first this time. and this kiss isn’t tentative.
lottienat tether is so strong when you genuinely get the fact that lottie IS the wilderness
because nat, who resisted the wilderness (lottie), was still such a crucial part of IT overall.
natalie "you were always its favorite" scatorccio, natalie "it was in you, even when you denied it, especially then" scatorccio
nat who is forever haunted by the existence of something in both its physical and psychological form. now obviously this really applies for. all of the girls. but lottie has put so much effort into nat as if she was investing in her, lottie sees nat as this light at the end of the tunnel.
lottie tried to get nat to understand the wilderness, to let "it" in, to let it engulf her, but the more nat refused the more interest lottie had in her and the more it was mistaken for the wilderness' calling.
and i often see people talk about how a lot of lottienat scenes are really just connecting them back to the wilderness which... yes! connecting them back to the thing LOTTIE created, the thing lottie is a "disciple" of
the existence of the wilderness and the "it" that all the girls believe in comes from lottie and the lack of medication she had, it came from her delusion. it expanded and was enabled by the rest of the girls, but truly nats relationship with "it" AND lottie tie together like a knot
oh we're booing me off the stage oh oh there are tomatoes oh you guys arent hitting me oh nevermind sorry ok
the mistynat hate sex is canon to ME

here’s how i picture it…

“I don’t even like soccer!”
Episode 1x10 Sic Transit Gloria Mundi
My personal take on this scene is that Shauna is trying to express to Jackie, regardless of if Shauna realizes shes doing it ,
that Jackie is so consumed by her own feelings to ever recognize everything that Shauna has done for her and how much she truly has sacrificed,
while also simultaneously saying “you can’t see how in love with you I am, let alone the true reason why I would ever sleep with Jeff”.
( sleeping with Jeff to be as close to jackie as possible )
Immediately after Jackie claims that she knows Shauna does not have feelings for Jeff, And Shauna replied, “How would you know?” Shauna goes on to say;
“You tell me what to wear, who to hook up with, I don’t even like soccer!”
… As if to say “you tell me who to hook up with, and I don’t even like boys, I like you.”
Another thing, Shauna only plays soccer because of Jackie? Meaning Shauna would have never been in that plane crash, never would have ended up stranded in the wilderness, and would have never been the reason jackie died.
Jackie is too caught up in her own shit to realize that Shauna does not even like soccer, she likes Jackie.
Shauna has sacrificed herself time and time again for jackie, just to be close to her in any way possible, without ruining their friendship.
And yet even if she hadn’t been on the soccer team, and she hadn’t done everything jackie said at all, she probably would have rather been in the plane crash with her.
Thats how much she loves jackie.
