emily’s endless list of ocs ✨ ↳ ana martinez, eat your young 🫀 ↳ ( in•sp )

Ana Martinez does not survive in the end. 

She does not live to see her mother again, to play another game of soccer, or win another debate competition. She does not grow old, she doesn’t get married, she doesn’t see her older brother find peace. All she does is wither and rot, as all things do. 

But Ana Martinez is not all dead, not fully. She lives on in the memories of the survivors, of those that got to see the plane that saved them. She haunts them, they see her in their periphery, in the gentle laugh of a girl, the breeze in autumn, the biting chill of a winter’s night. Because Ana Martinez is dead, but she is the reason they all survived.

Seventeen, almost eighteen, Ana was almost out of New Jersey, and she was going to go out with a Bang! She’d been the team’s Left-Winger since she’d graduated from JV when she was freshly fifteen, and despite being the Coach’s daughter, nobody could deny her being one of the strongest players on the team. She was a shoo-in for a full-ride scholarship to the University of North Carolina, she was going to be a star player and get a business degree while doing it. But first they had to win at Nationals.

Ana liked to believe that what happened next was the consequence of three things.

1. Taissa Turner breaking Ally’s leg, tearing it apart, right down to the bone.

Ana knew it was a bad idea, she’d argued against it, when Tai had proposed the idea to the small group of players. She’d stood strong beside her fellow Winger, Natalie Scatorccio, pleaded for them to see sense. But Tai was headstrong, and she wanted to win, and that wasn’t going to happen if Ally was on the field with them.

Ana figured she didn’t fight enough.

2. The Yellowjackets being prideful, arrogant, and sometimes, downright mean.

It wasn’t their fault, any of them. Ana and the rest of the team, they were just kids - teenage girls, most of which hadn’t even hit eighteen yet. Teenage girls are mean, they tear at your throat with words of poison, and teeth filed to sharp points – they pick you apart piece by piece, they consume your very being until they spit you back up, a perfect mold of themselves.

Each of the Yellowjackets had a vice, something that made them imperfect, something that made them wrong. 

Ana wasn’t sure if it was the fact that she liked girls or the fact that she liked to throw eggs at the houses of kids who pissed her off that made her wrong. 

She just knew that she was.

3. Ana Martinez telling her father she hated him.

Sure, Mr. Martinez wasn’t perfect, he wasn’t a particularly good father, he was harsh and stern and cared all too much about soccer than he did about his children, but he was still her father. He worked harder than anyone she’d ever known, he made sure that she had whatever she needed, and when she was hurt – emotionally, physically, whatever it may be – he made sure to pat her on the head and slip a plate of sopapillas under her bedroom door.

And the truth was that Ana loved her father, more than anything else in the world – even if he hadn’t told her he loved her in two years, even if he frowned more than he smiled. But he had upset her, in the way that only he could. Instead of congratulating her for their big win, for saying how excited he was for them to go to nationals, for telling her he was proud of her, he had critiqued her. 

Ana had never been good at receiving critique from her father, but this time, when she’d been coming down from such a high, she simply couldn’t handle it, which is why she’d yelled.

So, this was why Ana believed they’d crashed, why they had to do what they had to do, endure what they endured. Ana believed that the reason she died was because no matter how hard she worked to help everyone, to make sure the team stayed together and stayed alive, it didn’t matter, because at her core, Ana Martinez was a girl, and she was twisted, wrong. 

This is why she didn’t make it.

kuroken au where kenma's new bf turns out be to be a national topic of discussion. people want to know who world famous kodzuken is dating, all they know is that he's dating a man, so maybe a multi-talented handsome actor or another hotshot CEO or a beefy sports player or a glamorous model or another influential figure he met at some extravagant ritzy event.

the tabloids are insane every time they get a clue of what they believe to be the hottest story of the month because they want a power couple reveal. so they get hints like "the silhouette of kodzuken's bf was super tall!!", "kodzuken was spotted at the airport several times, what if his bf is a mega-rich foreigner!!!", "Kodzuken boyfriend muscular????", "kodzuken spotted at volleyball game AGAIN, what player is his beau????"

at some point they find out it's kuroo, kodzuken's childhood best friend and hardworking jv employee, which the paparazzi finds utterly disappointing and such an unoriginal logical conclusion to what kodzuken's bf would be and move on to the next thing: bokuto's tax fraud allegations

kenma doesn't even give a statement since he doesn't care and kuroo only finds out about it when he reads a headline on the internet that reads "kodzuken's boyfriend finally revealed and he's super boring" which he's offended by

and when he asks kenma about it, he's like "am I boring??" and kenma's like "yeah" and kuroo's disappointment grows, but it instantly goes away when kenma pulls him down to cuddle for the rest of the day, because kuroo may be boring, but kenma loves him for it

Star sign: Gemini

Height: 6.3 ft (192cm)

Orientation: Bisexual (though he will die on the hill of being straight, 'twas just a phase dude!!)

Nationality/Ethnicity: American, White/Hispanic

Favorite Fruit: Mangoes :P

Favorite Season: Winter

Favorite Flower: Blood red chrysanthemums, so emo :,(

Favorite Scent: Diesel fuel (he freaky like that)

Average Hours of Sleep: About 6 if he's lucky, he works 24/7 and spends as much of his free time on his computer as Maple will tolerate.

Dogs or Cats: Used to be dogs but Maple converted him lmao

Dream Trip: Anywhere in the south, probably Florida. If it weren't so far away from family, him and Maple would move there in a heartbeat.

Number of Blankets: Three or four. Top sheet, comforter and a quilt on top, a weighted blanket too if ya nasty.

Random Fact: He played in his high school JV and varsity baseball teams as short stop and catcher occasionally. He and Pepper would meet at JV tryouts in their sophomore year (but Pepper wouldn't end up making the team with him pfff).

Random Facts

He has been working as a mechanic at his family's tire shop from high school till now. In his free time, he is taking classes online for an IT certification, hoping to get some IT office job like Vladdie and be home more for the new baby.

He is a big music and movie nerd. He eats up stereotypical dude movies like Pulp Fiction and The Wolf of Wall Street, probably because he likes to live vicariously through the main characters' debauchery.

He has deep seated commitment issues that stem from his parents' infidelity toward each other that he vehemently refuses to go to any sort of therapy for. Maple tries her best to iron it out with ultimatums (and uhh a baby) but he's still hesitant to marry her.

He hates the fact that he needs glasses, but also refuses to get contacts because they need to be fitted to his astigmatisms and he's too lazy for that.

He has been vaping and smoking for about a decade, trying to quit every January like clockwork. He just recently started getting into ZYNs because "babee there's not even any smoke with these!! perfect for baby!"

Spy Deal

Pairing: Charlie Conway x fem!reader

Summary: Coach Orion has a little job for his younger sister.

Warnings: Charlie's anger issues lol

A/N: I think I'll make a part 2 for this.

Word Count: 1.9k

Coach Bombay had heard wonders about you, since he had met Ted Orion, to him you were the best marketer in the Hockey world, of course, Orion was a bit biased considering you were his younger sister. You had controlled advertisements for some of the biggest teams in the USA, even the National team. At your ripe age of sixteen you were really making a name for yourself.

"Y/N!" Your older brother called through to you, for a few years you had been living in Minneapolis with your brother, his wife and your niece, Jen.

You left your bedroom and walked down the wooded corridor to the living room, "yeah what's up?"

"I have a little research job for you, perhaps you could help me learn more about this new team I'm taking on this year," he told you, offering you a seat on the sofa across for him.

You were instantly interested, your work had been quiet ever since the local hockey team had moved on to bigger things, "yeah I would be happy to help, under one condition."

He let out a chuckle, despite being twenty-two years older than you, you always had a price when it came to a bit of help, "okay, okay, you help and I we go on a brother-sister laser tag and sweetie shop run. Just like the old days."

"Oh my god! Yes! We haven't done that since I was like nine!" You grinned, reminiscing about your ninth birthday where your parents both had meetings all day so Ted took you out.

He smiled softly before continuing, "I have a new team coming via scholarships, they like to call themselves the Ducks, they won the Junior Goodwill Games last season."

"I'll be through with whatever I find later, then it's shooting time buddy!" You chuckled, standing up.

"Whatever you say baby sister," he mocked, drawing his attention back to his television as you left the room.

You quickly ran back to your room and flung yourself into your office chair and turned on your computer, after a few minutes your home screen appeared. You hummed a little tune as you opened up the internet.

"I'm sure there will be some newspaper files about them," you spoke to yourself, finding the local Minneapolis news paper. Despite the world wide web being a new phenomenon the archives were easy to access.

You slowly grew more intrigued as stories of this so-called 'wonder team' popped up, you filtered the site to only show clippings that contained the words 'ice hockey', 'ducks' and 'Bombay', their coach and a close friend of your brothers.

More and more clippings came up, this team were incredible, you had noticed that they had 4 'star' players, Captain Charlie Conway, Adam Banks and the Bash Brother, Fulton Reed and Dean Portman. They had even beaten Iceland's team, which was coached by the Wolf, a well-respected genius in the hockey world.

• • •

Bombay felt much more at ease knowing his beloved team would be passed onto the great Ted Orion, and after learning of your work in the hockey industry, he was thrilled that the ducks could gain even more attraction.

However, the Ducks were not too fond of their new coach, he had stripped Charlie of his captaincy and had taken away the team's spirit. They were no longer the ducks, they were Eden Hall's JV team.

"They hate me it's impossible to work with!" Ted groaned as you were all sat around the dinner table, knees deep in yet another of his rants.

Jen, who always tried to see the best in a situation spoke, "who knows, they might just be scared of you?"

"Darling, I don't think so," he smiled almost sadly.

"How about this, I can come with you to practise sit at the side and see if I can get some information off of them, I'll try to see why they haven't taken a liken to you." You suggested, Ted seemed to enjoy this suggestion as he nodded slightly.

"Are you sure they would talk to you?" Your sister-and-law asked, "I mean you are the younger sister of their coach."

"Well I am the same age as most of them, they might feel like they could say something." You answer, hoping you were right.

• • •

"Gather round team," your brother called, before growing impatient, "god gave you legs for a reason, use them!"

They all grumbled while they skated over, stopping in a messy semi-circle around you and him, peculiar looks on their faces.

"You may be wondering who this is-" Orion began before getting cut off by a tall looking boy with brown hair.

"Y'all that's Y/N! That girl who made that team in Chicago mega-famous!" He shouted.

"The team can't be that famous if you don't know the name, Dwayne," another boy quipped back, this one had off-black hair and was shorter than this Dwayne character.

"Yes Dwayne, this is the Y/n and she is my younger sister, she's just here to supervise the game. She finally decided that lying in her bed all day fawning over Michael J Fox in Back to the Future wasn't being productive." He introduced you, his last comment making you shake your head and flush.

They all exchanged looks, before yet another boy, this time you recognised as Charlie Conway, spoke up, "What age is she, shouldn't she be a bit older if she's your sister?"

"I'm sixteen, our mum had him quite young," you clarified. "Okay Ted, I'm going to go sit down." The team's uproar started again after hearing that their new coach's name is Ted. You laughed, something so normal was causing quite the stir.

The practice wasn't anything interesting, just some drills and a mock game to finish. You were brought out of the trance, that you had caught yourself in when the sound of skates dragging to a halt in front of you.

It was girl who had a long plait in going down her back, "Hi, I'm Connie!"

"Y/N, it's lovely to meet you," you smiled.

She smiled back before pondering her next question, "does coach Orion always act grumpy?"

You laughed slightly, "no, don't worry, he does really want to see you all succeed but he just doesn't know how to get around it."

"Well he doesn't act like it, look!" Connie gestured to the rest of the team, who were all shooting at Goldberg as Orion barked out orders. That's when you noticed that one of the players who had played with them since the PeeWees wasn't there.

"Connie, is there not meant to be another boy, he's blonde, wears number ninety-nine?" You inquired, looking back at the girl.

She smiled slightly, "awe yeah, Banks, he plays for Varsity now." She spoke, almost proud of her ex-teammate. "Well, I better get back to practising, we need to speak again Y/N!"

You grinned, "definitely!"

the girl skated away, lapping around some of the other players, then shooting a puck past Goldberg into the net.

When practise finished Ted approached you, "so did you speak to anyone?"

"Only Connie, she's super nice, but she thinks you're dead grumpy." You answered, this made him frown slightly.

"I know this is a lot to ask, but do you think you could find Conway and try to talk to him?" He asked, a glint of pleading in his eyes.

You smiled, "yeah I'll speak to him, just because I love you so very much," you teased lightly, which caused him to gently slap the back of your head.

"You're a cheeky prick," he laughed, helping you up.

"That's what you get for having a sixteen-year-old sister when you're thirty!" You grinned back, walking off the ice with your beloved older brother.

• • •

You spotted the brunette boy in the distance walking out of Eden Hall, quickly, you jogged after him.

"Charlie!" You called out, which made him turn around.

He grimaced when he saw you fast approaching, "what do you want?"

"I just want to talk, you seemed kind of," you hummed. You tried to think of a way to make this sound like you weren't being bitchy, "agitated, earlier."

He huffed slightly, "Obviously, have you seen my coach!"

"Hey! Let's remember that's my brother!" You faked annoyance before laughing.

This made him smile, "Fine we can talk, under one condition."

"Woah there Conway, take me out for dinner then we can see where it goes!" You joked, making him flush under the blinding sun.

He shook his head sheepishly, "no! Not like that, I meant to buy me ice cream!" He scrambled out, "if you buy me ice cream, I'll talk to you about anything you want."

You pondered his requirement, "are you asking me on a date Conway?"

"It's a get-together, not a date! Don't be so silly!" He groaned.

You chuckled at his comment, "come on!" You cheered, beckoning him to follow you towards the seafront. Where an ice cream truck would roll on by tweeting out a chirpy tune at exactly ten past five every evening.

The pair of you reached the boardwalk next to the swirling sea just in time to hear the merry tune which signified it was ice cream time. Charlie immediately sped-walked over to where the truck would park and scowled at you as you slowly traipsed over.

"Okay, number ninety-six what are you for having?" You quipped looking up at the boy.

"Two scoops, chocolate orange and vanilla," he answered back after studying the array of flavours intently.

You only smiled at him before going up to the window, "a two scoop cone of chocolate orange and vanilla," you hummed, "and a rocket ice lolly for me."

"That'll be four dollars and fifty cents, doll," the woman in the truck said, handing Charlie both of the sweet treats while you reached for a five-dollar note then slid it over to her.

"Thank you!" You grinned, taking your ice lolly from Charlie.

"Since we never introduced ourselves directly to each other," you spoke before tasting your lolly. "I'm Y/N Orion, I'm sixteen and I grew up in Tampa."

Charlie gave you an odd look before reluctantly speaking, "I'm Charlie Conway, ex-captain of the Ducks and the USA team and I'm also sixteen. Oh and I'm from Minneapolis."

"Lovely to meet you, Charlie Conway!" You smiled towards him, a smile which he returned apprehensivley.

You grabbed his free hand and pulled him towards a free bench and sat down, indicating him to sit down next to you.

"So, Y/N what brings you to Eden Hall?" He asked.

"Well I don't go to school there but Ted just wondered if I could help him gain some information on the players." You explained, Charlie didn't seem to be fond of this answer.

"So you're only here right now with me for some sort of spy deal?" He accused, anger radiating off of him.

"No! Of course not, he just wanted to know how to get you guys working as a team!" You defended, hoping this answer would calm him down.

He scoffed, "well excuse me, we are a team, the ducks, it's just Orion is not a part of it!"

"Come on Charlie! He just wants whats best for you!" you pleaded.

He huffed again and silently got up and stormed away, you quickly followed him, "Charlie, he doesn't mean anything bad!"

•••

You trudged back into the Orion household, swiftly going to your room and slamming the door.

"Y/N you good?" Ted shouted over towards your room, there was a lengthy silence that followed which made him enter your room.

"Charlie hates me!"

Damaged Ledger - The crew agrees to clean up after themselves. However, your partner -- JV -- is against the removal, citing public support for conservation. This leads to a debate in Precinct 41, which then spreads to the streets of Jamrock. Ending in a rare plebiscite -- organized by you and the rest of Row III.

Damaged Ledger - The nine thousand people subjected to the mural’s message -- all of Lakeside (Central Jamrock) and Villalobos, plus half of the Eminent Domain -- participate in the vote. Although the case begins with what appears to be a lot of rumbling on the streets as to how juvenile and stupid the mural is, given a choice between two options...

You - B) KEEP THE MURAL, IT IS RIGHT

Gynarchy Bill

Following the last national elections, the The Feminist Empowerment Movement for Demotion Of Males (FEMDOM party) swept the entire country and won a historic victory. Newly elected State Senator Joan Femino soon introduced a new Gynarchy Bill requiring schools to diversify ensuring all girls had an opportunity to join any sports team. At the last minute a few amendments were quickly added to the bill, with a rush to vote on the bill no one noticed that one of the amendments would ban all boys 16 and younger from playing in any school sponsored sporting events. The bill passed and was signed by the new female governor.

The new school year was an exciting time for the children of St.Andrew’s. The new regulations forbidding boys from playing any sports were not applied uniformly across the country yet but the feminist leadership of St. Andrew's High School decided to apply them fully and immediately. Inspired by Emily and the other football playing girls nearly 70 girls tried out for the football team. Coach Barbara Collins had heard time deciding who to pick so she created a JV team too.

For James and his friends, things were very different for the start of the new school year. The boys long ago gave up fighting and just accepted their fate. None of them were surprised when the school introduce an all boy cheerleading team coached by James’s mother Ellen. The former sports loving boys now found themselves in short white and blue skirts (the same color as girls’ football uniforms) and holding pompoms. 

Emily had spent all summer at a prestigious football camp. She applied her new skills to lead St.Andrew’s to undefeated season and the all girls’ team was invited to big out of state football tournament where they planned to crush the remaining all boy teams.

Finally, the big game had arrived. Emily, Rose and other girls were not nervous instead confident even thou it had been years since St.Andrew’s, packed with boys only, had beaten their long-time rivals, St.Lawrence. As everyone lined up, the headmistress went to the mic and welcome all the guests to the big event, including State Senator Joan Femino, one of the headmistress’ feminist friends. Along with the Senator were a television crew who were going to film the event, broadcasting it on TV and an internet live stream.

Saturday morning was quite busy, Emily and the football girls met up with coach Collins for some final planning for the big game against St.Andrew’s arch rival St.Lawrence. Several of the boys from that team had made nasty remarks online about girls playing football. Ms. Collins had instructed a few of the bigger girls to make sure they got after St.Lawrence’s star quarterback Nick Harper. She told the girls I want to see his ass on the ground after every play.

While the girls focus on the big football game, James and his friends were busy with getting their final cheerleading outfits fitting. Karen and the mothers fussed over their son’s outfits, hair and makeup. To say it was torture on the boys would be an understatement. The mother’s on the other hand took great pleasure dressing their sons up for the big day.

As Emily and the girls battled St.Lawrence in a tough match. James and friends had no choice but to cheer in their pretty outfits waiting for the game to end. None of the boys said anything and just looked stunned and sad as they realized things were going to change forever. From now on it was the girls of St.Andrew’s who would be the sport stars, while the boys would be the ones forced into fancy frocks and made to look pretty.

At half time St.Lawrence took at 20 to 7 lead. Nick Harper the star quarter for Lawrence stopped and make several comments to James and his friend, “It’s too bad the boys of St.Andrew’s are a bunch of sissies who like wearing skirts and playing with dolls”. Ms. Collins overheard the comment and instructed the girls on defense to make Nick pay. Early in the 3rd quarter Nick went back to pass when Rose came around his blind side and drove the boy into the ground. Nick soon left the field limping. Emily rubbed his injury in, telling Nick “I am sure we have an extra cheerleading outfit so you can join the rest of the prissy boys”. Nick was furious when his coach would not let him play anymore.

Emily soon led St.Andrew’s into the lead and they end up crushing St.Lawrence 42 to 20. With the big win Emily, Rose and other football playing girls were big sports heroes. Thanks to the TV broadcast and internet live stream the battle of the sexes and the girl’s triumph comeback win were seen by millions. Recalcitrant schools and school boards had then no choice but to fully comply with the law.

Following their crushing defeat, the St. Lawrence boys' team was disbanded and replaced, like everywhere else in the country, by an all-female team, which is supported by its new male cheerleaders and their leader Nick Harper.

His new post on ig is making me fall in love with him more but hes on timeout for me after what happened with logan😔🤚🏻

He’s got most of us in a chokehold, I fear! 😅

Melbourne was an extremely tough one on all of us. Hopefully better moments are on the way in Suzuka and beyond! 💙

coach said jv was helping with the scrimmage pre-nationals so akilah would have been there, watching as allie got hurt, and was immediately called into coach m's office to be asked to come to nationals. actually saw her fate right in front of her. she wasn't on varsity so she didn't even imagine what it would be like to go on the nationals trip with their team, only living vicariously through rachel for the most part who had just recently been moved to varsity herself, so it was a weirdly bittersweet moment because she obviously felt for allie losing her opportunity but was proud of herself for getting it now.

she holds no resentment for allie or tai, for that matter, for what inevitably happens to her. it's neither of their faults and she isn't exactly damning fate for it, either. it's such twisted luck that she got to be a part of something so honorable just to never actually reach it, likely being sent to her death instead, but that's even more reason for her to cling so hard to life while she's out there. this was a sudden gift for her (even if it came about in such a horrible way, even if she wishes someone didn't have to get hurt in the process), and that can't be the last good thing that comes to her. her sudden rise to varsity that she doesn't even get to the nationals game cannot be the last good thing her she ever experiences in her life, because she never even got there, never actually got to experience what she got to be excited about for all of one whole day before it was taken from her.

i think if they would have made it to nationals + home safely, she would have wanted to help allie with her recovery and try to do whatever she could to support her. it's not akilah's fault that she was given her place, even if allie holds that resentment for her, but akilah wouldn't want any bad blood between them regardless. allie, on the other hand, wouldn't be so welcoming to her help (because she is a silly stubborn teenager who puts all her worth into her success that was taken from her, too), but akilah would still try.

MistyNat Au Prompts

This is here for anyone that wants to USE these prompts. I won’t be using them myself. When I come up with any more, I’ll add them to one of the lists in a different color. or at least try to change the color. but sometimes it doesn’t work for me. 

You don’t have to ask or credit me. Enjoy. 

Teen MistyNat AU ideas

College au: Having to share a dorm room, your typical jock and nerd friendship or romantic trope. Misty always offers to help Nat with her classwork, but Nat wants to avoid Misty's help. Nat can handle her classwork and soccer stuff on her own.

Role reversal Au: Misty is the punk/Gothic girl on the soccer team, while Nat is the weird nerdy girl, the group's equipment manager. 

Theater/Play au: the football team pulls a prank on the theater kids. They end up distorting the play's set. The football team pins the stunt on the girls' soccer team, and the school forces them to help with the play, or they forfeit nationals. 

Robin Hood Au: Nat is robin hood, Misty is Little Jon, Lottie is Maid Marion, Laurel Lee is friar tuck, and the rest of the yellowjackets are merry men. Umm... the males can be the villains.

Animal Transformation AU: (NOT OMEGA-VERSE) It’s just kind of like Animorphs, but not really. They just have the ability to turn into an animal. Maybe they gain this ability when they are in the wilderness. It’s up to you what animals mistynat can turn into (and the rest of the yellowjackets).  

But I’m a Cheerleader AU: the yellowjeckts get sent to a rehab camp (cause all of them are gay as fuck) Mistynat are the main ship. and the rest are side ships that are either trying to get them together or stop them from dating.  

Are You Afraid of the Dark Au: The yellowjackets sit around a campfire telling scary stories. Misty is an outsider looking to join the group. Some yellowjackets are skeptical if she could even mean a frightening tale (cause she is a theater kid, likes to show tunes and dresses weirdly). Maybe Natalie and a few others (maybe Van, Jackie, Tai, and Laura Lee) give her a test to prove she can tell a scary story. And perhaps someone tries to sabotage her frightening tale.

10 things I hate about you AU: (Basically the movies plot) Misty is Kat, Nat is Patrick, Jackie or Laura Lee is Bianca, and Shauna or Lottie is Cameron. 

 FoxFire AU: Misty and four other girls want to make a teacher pay for making sexual advances at them. The principal isn’t on their side and punishes the girls. Misty and the other four girls now including Nat. They break into the school, to get their confiscated items back. This leads to them setting an accidental fire. The girls grow closer but some of their demons are ready to pull them apart.  

She’s All That au:  Misty is unpopular and bullied for her looks. Nat and the rest of the yellowjackets are pretty famous. Their team has gone undefeated in 3yrs. At one of their victory parties, some girls dare Natalie to turn Misty into the school's next prom queen. Natalie doesn’t like the idea initially, but when the girls say they will pay her (insert amount of money here) if Misty wins. Natalie agrees to do it. Misty doesn’t fully trust Natalie, yet she has been crushing on the star athlete for years. So, she lets Natalie help her with her looks while she helps Natalie with her school work. The two grow closer as they work together. Learning things about each other no one knows. When prom comes, everyone, even Natalie, is shocked by Misty’s new look (straighten hair Misty HC goes here). Misty overhears the other yellowjackets talking about the bet in the girl's bathroom. Sadly she knew Natalie was using her; she just hoped that Natalie would come clean and that they were becoming friends. Natalie (and maybe a few other yellowjackets) feels like shit for this stupid bet. Will Natalie be able to earn Misty’s trust again?   

D3: The Mighty Ducks AU: The Yellowjackets are awarded scholarships to a prep school. They must play on the school JV team in their new school colors. Not only that, but they need to learn how to get along with the Senior varsity team. How can they when the Senior Varsity team is always pranking them? Can the yellowjackets hold their team together and overcome the senior varsity team's pranks, or will the team split? As a few members want to prank the seniors back, others want to take advantage of this opportunity they have been given. Besides adjusting to a new school and how they are treated there, some yellowjackets need to learn how to deal with their growing feelings for their teammates (MistyNat, LottieLee, JackieShauna, TaiVan). Will they survive at this school and finally confess their feelings to their teammate, or will they crash and burn?

Adult MistyNat AU ideas 

Medieval AU: Nat is a knight or rouge, and Misty tries to prove she can be Nat's apprentice. Caligula can be Misty's mini pet dragon. 

Parents AU: Nat and Misty adopted (young) Lisa after realizing that Lisa's home resembles how they grew up. Nat is a teacher at Lisa's school, while Misty is the school's nurse. Both women rent a house together. They are both in denial about how they act like a married couple. They are nothing more than housemates. But one thing they do agree on is they care about Lisa.

Pirate AU: Nat and her crew sail the seas striking fear into the hearts of those that challenge her ship, The Yellowjackets. She and her first mate (whoever you think it should be) realize they are the only ship with an all (mostly all) female crew. Sadly one day, they find a woman who claims to be a doctor has stolen away on their ship. Misty is a self-proclaimed doctor that constantly wants more to life, so she decides to sneak aboard The Yellowjackets. Nat realizes that Misty might be helpful even though she is a headache (Misty would be like Stede Bonnet from Our Flag Means Death or AC4: Black Flag, change my mind.)

Person of Interest AU: Nat is Shaw, and Misty is Root. Or Nat is Shaw’s intern/apprentice, and Misty is Root’s shadow/apprentice. 

Bodyguard AU: Misty is a particular person interested in a feral case. Tai hires Natalie to protect Misty at all costs. Though she does warn Natalie that Misty can be a handful. At first, Natalie doesn’t believe her old friend/teammate. Soon Natalie finds out how wrong she was to dismiss Tai’s warnings. Can Natalie handle this job, or will Misty be the end of her?

Never Been Kissed AU: Misty has to return to the hell hole that was once her high school. As a journalist, she must go undercover and discover what teens are into nowadays. Shauna, the school's English teacher, decides to help her. That is, if only Misty helps Shauna get closer to her daughter Callie, a popular girl. Misty agrees to help Shauna. Everything is going according to plan until Misty's old high school crush starts working at the school as a guidance counselor (or Radio teacher) Natalie Scatorccio. Will Misty be able to keep her promise while keeping her job, or will her past be too painful? 

Either Adult or Teen Au ideas

Buffy Au (crossover): Nat is a slayer in training (probably under Faith or Buffy... maybe both), While Misty could be either a witch (training under Willow AND Tara cause Tara didn't die) or she could be a vengeance demon (like Anya)

Fake dating au: Misty asks Nat to pretend to date her, hoping Walter will lose interest in her. Nat only agrees to do so when they "break up" Misty promises to leave Nat alone. 

Arranged marriage au: Maybe Nat's parents and Misty's parents are business partners, and they want to keep the business in the family, so they decide that their kids should get married.

Xena Au: Nat is Xena, and Misty would be Gabrielle

Groundhog's Day au: Misty is sent back to either when she broke the black box or the night she killed Nat. If she doesn't stop herself from doing one of those things, that day will start over until she figures out what to do. (Like if she picks the day she distorted the black box and fails to not destroy it. That night she'll have dreams of future events. But they'll only not come true if she does destroy the black box. And if she picked the day she killed Nat, she'd have symbolic dreams about that day.)

 The Crow Au: You could make up your own Crow story or follow any of the movies/comic books. Cause honestly both Misty and Natalie would make for a great ‘immortal’ character that wants to get revenge on those that kill her lover.   

Wild Things AU: (Kind of similar to 98′ movie. but not really) Nat and Misty come up with a plan to get revenge on their guidance counselor (cause maybe he is a dick). Maybe they end up killing him (or whatever) and now they have to cover it up. Or they just expose him for the dick he is. (yes i know the girls are the villains in this movie. I don’t care cause I’m changing stuff, deal) Maybe the fall in love or in bed along the way. 

Viking AU: Idea coming soon?! I hope lol

[disregardcanon]

okay so, coming back to the co-captains jackie and tai au- when they finally worked through their resentment of the other taking half of their spot! i was supposed to be CAPTAIN not CO-CAPTAIN?!?! their differences would compliment each other so well and make for a much more balanced style as a whole.

let's look at the allie situation to start with. jackie had NO idea about the team's resentment of allie getting to come or allie's feelings about the situation either. coach martinez doesn't give her an explanation for why allie is coming either. it's pretty patronizing, honestly. "you've got influence with these girls. keep them together". jackie is busy trying to keep her varsity girls' relationships with each other stable going into nationals.

and that's good! the "girl scout camp" thing did actually work for the problem that jackie was observing at the moment. the fight between tai and shauna got broken up, but jackie didn't know what the fight was ABOUT! which still left the core issue of allie's abilities, the girls' worries, and allie herself unsolved. tai's response was. uh. not really what i'd go with, but she saw an issue and she decided to resolve it her own way.

if she had a position of authority in the group, i think that she'd have fought tooth and nail to make sure that allie's spot was filled by a more experienced girl who would be more of a team player. tai wasn't WRONG that allie would have been a liability, as a fourteen year old who was more upset about missing her prom than excited about going to NATIONALS!

but she couldn't talk to coach (who i think we've seen doesn't. listen. he talks at you) and she DIDN'T talk to jackie, because jackie would have disagreed with her methods and since tai didn't have the authority to say This Is An Issue And We Have to Fix It, then she didn't want to deal with jackie's opinion, especially if that ended up as just "don't worry about that! coach put her on this! group harmony peace and love" and then tai going "coach doesn't know everything. and clearly neither do you" and then they get into a bickering match and tai. who had a PERFECTLY GOOD POINT gets completely shut out because she had the audacity to suggest a lineup change and jackie doesn't want to get into an argument with the coach. the system works, right? we go with what we know.

if they were in a situation where they HAD to listen to each other and were able to actually participate in big decisions like team lineup, the combined power of tai's skepticism, willingness to piss people off, and ambition and jackie's desire for group harmony and to work with the system would have found something that didn't get allie maimed.

if they had to collaborate, i think think they would have come up with a different plan. there were CLEARLY other jv girls that they had waiting on the bench (akilah, crystal, melissa, gen, rachel) and cutting allie from the nationals team would have made her re-evaluate whether she wants to be part of an elite soccer team or if she wants to do those special high school things, because sometimes you can't have both.

then in the wilderness, this might have looked more like a combination of both jackie and tai's approaches, with jackie not sinking into as deep of a depression as things start to get worse. because even though things would be terrible with shauna, she'd at least have a partner who's not letting her off herself or give up. and tai might have made less desperate, risky choices if she was tempered by jackie's "let's think this through! peace and love on the planet earth! teamwork makes the dream work!"
