MISTYNAT WEEK | partners in crime [insp]

[zutaralesbian]

Juliette leaving the show really fucked up the plot and direction and the finale is proof of that; Natalie is supposed to be the antithesis of everything Shauna is and stands for!!! Natalie is a level-headed leader while Shauna is ruthless and bloodthirsty, Natalie tries to get them rescued at all costs while Shauna convinces them it's best for them to stay back. And in the end, Natalie STILL beats Shauna!! She calls for rescue despite everything!!! Even in the adult timeline Natalie is shown as self-destructive but deep down she is caring, while Shauna seems normal on the outside but she's a mess inside. Natalie deserved to be one of the last girls remaining :(

I absolutely love the carefully thought-out costume design for adult Natalie. She’s in her 40s, but she still dresses like the edgy teenager she was in the 90s: motorcycle jackets, band tees, cheetah print, fishnets, thick eyeliner, an affinity for red, black, gray, and brown. She’s stuck in the past, emotionally stunted and clinging to a version of herself that existed before the crash.

But her style now is more haphazard. As a teen, her outfits were rebellious but curated. There was intention behind the way she layered specific pieces, color coordination, a general sense of cohesion. Adult Nat’s wardrobe, on the other hand, is mismatched and chaotic. Pieces clash instead of complementing; colors don’t quite align, elements that belong in entirely different outfits are placed together. There’s a sense of carelessness, like she’s throwing on armor instead of outfits. It’s not just fashion, it’s dysfunction made visible. A visual manifestation of Natalie’s unraveling. The echoes of her teenage style are still there, but they’ve been distorted by years of substance use, grief, and disillusionment. What once felt like defiant self-expression now feels like a fragmented identity.

And perhaps most telling is the presence of high-end designer pieces. She’s seen wearing All Saints and Saint Laurent tees, Dolce & Gabbana red animal print pants, an Alexander McQueen shawl, etc. Alongside her Porsche, it’s a glimpse into the version of Natalie who came back from the wilderness and tried to fill the void with things. Expensive things. The things her family could never afford when she was growing up. She’s in pain, she needs to find a way to escape it, but she doesn’t know how to find long-term solutions. So she looks towards what will make her feel better right now: drugs, expensive cars, designer clothes and handbags that don’t quite feel authentic to her. It’s like she’s trying to buy the identity she always wished she had. Grief and trauma buried under retail therapy, nihilism wrapped in luxury leather.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Yellowjackets (TV) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Misty Quigley/Natalie Scatorccio, Natalie Scatorccio & Vera Scatorccio Characters: Misty Quigley, Natalie Scatorccio, Vera Scatorccio Additional Tags: Terminal Illnesses, (ultimately not fatal. not misty or nat), excessive references to classic detective fiction, Christmas, Natalie Scatorccio Has Mommy Issues, Partners in Crime, Post-Rescue from Wilderness (Yellowjackets), I tried to make this at least somewhat realistic and then realized it’s more fun if I don’t. so, Implied/Referenced Child Abuse, technically a sequel to IFDIBCA but works standalone. also far more self-indulgent Series: Part 2 of I’ll Fucking Do It but Christ Alive Summary:

“No. I don’t know. I haven’t even seen her yet, honestly. But treatment’s going to be expensive, and I’m flat broke.”

“That’s horrible. The state of healthcare in this country is atrocious.” Misty stares at the coffee table, deep in thought. Nat thinks she’s searching for the right words to comfort her, but then she looks up and says, “Have you heard of Ellen Eliza Peck?”

Or: Nat’s mom is sick, Misty helps her open a private detective agency, and it turns out crimes are much easier to solve when you commit them yourself.

Natalie’s way of saying "I love you":

[zutaralesbian]

I'm gonna talk to you like an adult. Is that okay with you? Do you have any idea why I made you team captain this year? Obviously it's not because you're our best player. Shauna's faster, Lottie's got better foot work by a mile, and Taissa — Is this some pep talk? Jackie, you possess something no one else on this team has: influence.

I had so much fun writing for mistynat week. My brain is still firmly in mistynat mode so someone should give me prompts

YELLOWJACKETS | Season 3, Episode 9, “How the Story Ends”

“This doesn’t concern him,” Misty says, dismissing it as if Walter is the last thing she wants to talk about.

Nat snorts in amusement. She isn’t sure whether that statement comes from Misty not registering that what they were doing is actually cheating…or if she simply doesn’t give enough of a fuck about Walter to care.

Nat survives the fentanyl and gets a front row seat to Misty’s relationship with Walter. So naturally…she starts having sex with her.

my favourite thing about the Yellowjackets is that they are found family but like. fucked up found family. messy found family. like an actual family.

Tai went completely against Nat's wishes by prosecuting Ben, but still pays for her rehab years later and FIVE TIMES no less. Shauna has an entire separate phone with Tai's number saved in it, even though we know that Tai did not fw the Antler Queen shenanigans.

Misty was the main reason that the girls were stuck in the woods in the first place, but Nat isn't even all that hostile to her in the adult tl. she was just kinda playing with her with the gun at the beginning— and Misty knew. she smiled. all the girls tried to kill Nat, but she's almost certainly the most liked among the survivors.

Lottie kept an eye on Natalie years later, even though Natalie was the one who was most against the Wilderness bullshit going on, who tried to deter and berate her at every turn. she saved her life. Travis had Lottie's number too and as we know, she did some seriously messed up shit to him and he tried to literally kill her.

as much as she protested, Shauna did ultimately let Lottie stay at her home with her teenage daughter— and we know that Shauna can put her foot down when she wants to. (not to mention the Lottieshauna beating scene?) Van went back in to save Melissa. she absolutely did not have to.

they're all people with broken moral compasses and their relationships with each other are incredibly messed up— but they're nuanced and deep and at their core, loving. Misty was right. they had an intimate bond no one could understand.

“I apologize if this sounds rude but…what exactly are you? Some sort of angel or um…devil taking Natalie’s form? I’m not knowledgeable in what’s meant to happen after you die…”

“Misty,” teenage Natalie says. She sounds and looks kind of amused now. “No, I’m not an angel or a devil. It’s really me.”

Misty dies and a reunion is made

“No one else is here,” Nat says. “Now, mind telling me why you’re acting so weird? What’s with the secrecy?”

Shauna gives in, letting go of her tense stance with a shrug to her shoulders. She bites her lower lip lightly. “I have a favor to ask you.”

Nat gives a pointed look as if to say spit it out already.

Shauna sighs roughly and closes her eyes for a moment, as if preparing herself for what she’s about to say.

“I need you to date Misty. Or at least pretend to.”

When Jackie’s parents tell her that she isn’t allowed to date anyone until Misty Quigley does, Shauna decides to take drastic measures.

I love reading fanfics where one character is tagged as jealous, but their partner is unlovable to anyone but them. Like.. calm down, sweetheart, no one wants your man. We're still trying to figure out why you want your man.

all mistynat fics from thedevilsgarden

should probably make a new post about this so it can show up in the tag, but i made a post a couple months ago with links to 8 deleted mistynat fics i was able to find from thedevilsgarden but last night i found a link on reddit from someone that was somehow able to find even more and upload them.

so here's a google drive link of epub files of 30+ deleted yj fics from thedevilsgarden. there's fics for other ships in there too (a few jackie/nat, some jackie/misty, a mistynat/jackie one and a long ass jackie/shauna with side mistynat) but i'm pretty sure all of their mistynat fics are there and ready for you to read, including part 3 of the stranded series (deprivation) and the first two parts of the age gap fic (a place to run and hide & ready to suffer, ready to hope) i posted in my original post. if you can't get epub files to open on whatever device you use, just convert them to pdfs like i did, and you can do that by googling how to and you'll get a bunch of sites that'll do it :)

Low-key me whenever I remember we’re never getting more adult mistynat

(I am excited to see what they do with teen mistynat after how S3 ended, don’t get me wrong. But adult mistynat…there’s no replacing them I fear 😞)
