Femslash Exchange
Nov. 16th, 2013 01:19 pmFemslash Exchange 2013 is out! Here are the stories I liked the most.
Blood Sacrifice by cantarina. Welcome to Night Vale, Old Woman Josie/The Faceless Old Woman, G. Very short, but just as sweet and weird and satisfying as the show itself.
A Little Sweeter by Jain. Pacific Rim, Sasha Kaidanovsky/Mako Mori, G. Sasha arrives at the Shatterdome and makes friends with Mako. A hopeful, sweet story; I really like the characterizations here.
Triangle, dissected by Woldy. Sarah Water's Night Watch, Kay Langrish/Julia Standing/Helen, PG-13. Ah, this is tragic and painful and SO GOOD. Much like the book.
Spree by thingswithwings. Community, Annie/Britta, NC-17. Britta takes Annie shopping for sex toys. This has the sweet, silly humor of the show, and also is really hot.
Bittersweet & Strange by paperclipbitch. Mulan/Belle (of Beauty and the Beast), G. Belle has been living in China for some time when word comes for her from France. This is gorgeously written, and very touching.
the earthed lightning by cordialcount. ASOIAF, Margaery/Sansa. A potential end for the story; I really really like this idea. Very good.
Don't Ask Questions, Don't Ask Directions by Netgirl_y2k. ASOIAF, Shae/Sansa, PG-13. (Spoilers through the middle of ASOS/slightly past the end of the third season.) Shae and Sansa across the sea. Very sweet and lovely.
Stone and Snow by justwolf. ASOIAF, Dany/Arya, PG-13. (Spoilers for ADWD.) Another potential ending. This is my "if you only read one..." of the post. This story is GORGEOUS and GENIUS and I love everything about it and want to have its babies. A quote:
She watched the Queen who did not look like a queen with her tanned skin and her singed hair. Her hand gestures were not those of Westeros, and when she laughed, it was too loudly. The smallfolk in the tavern last night had said they were ruled by a filthy, foreign whore who fed lost children to dragons, and Mella understood their animosity. She watched the Queen's quick hands. She was laughing at something a Dothraki man said; she ran her fingers through the hair of the maester sitting next to her.
Her face was not beautiful, but even from here, across the divide of stands and swordsmen and horses, Mella could see how alive it was. Its liveliness struck her more than anything. She had seen so many come for the gift, beg for it, and she had seen so many fight the gift with all the strength they had—yet no one had ever seemed so utterly alive as this Queen of Westeros.
Go and read! Or tell me what you liked.
