Lottie Matthews/Natalie Scatorccio

Lottie Matthews/Natalie Scatorccio is a fanon femslash pairing in the Yellowjackets fandom. 
==Canon==
In canon, Lottie and Nat have a complicated relationship in many ways. In the teenage time-line, Natalie clashes with Lottie many times, frustrated at the direction that Lottie's leadership is taking them, and the idea that the wilderness is somehow orchestrating everything. As Lottie's medication runs out shortly into their time in the wilderness, there is a deliberate vagueness and misdirection from the show regarding what is actually happening, what may be Lottie's delusions, and whether there is a supernatural element to the show. 
In season two, after they clash and compete over providing food for the survivors, resulting in both of them nearly dying or being seriously injured, Natalie and Lottie's relationship arc shifts. After Lottie is nearly beaten to death by Shauna Shipman and Natalie survives being hunted for food by the others (at the sacrifice of Javi dying in her place), Lottie claims that the wilderness has chosen Natalie as their new leader.
In the adult time-line, Lottie has Natalie kidnapped and taken to her center (or cult, depending on which character describes the place) to stop her killing herself or relapsing. At the end of season two, Natalie is accidentally killed by Misty Quigley.
