Summary
Have you seen her?
She hasn’t, she won’t, she never, ever will. She has finally done what her mother demanded and shed those pesky extra pounds and all she had to do was cut out half of herself and give it up to Jeff Sadecki and Providence, Rhode Island. All she had to do was become her mother in all the ways she never wanted.
Jackie’s anesthetic won’t fit in a row of pill bottles, of course, but a shoe box isn’t that much bigger.
Seven months after her world falls apart, Jackie Taylor returns to Wiskayok.

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."

After Shauna humiliates Melissa, she's met with the memory of another disastrous (sort-of) ex. Shauna/Ghost Jackie AU.

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.
