She Wore That Dress Like A Saturday

In honor of femmeslash February, I come bearing recs:

You Do Not Have To Walk On Your Knees (Once Upon A Time, Regina/Emma) Part One, Two, and Three.

This fic manages to be gloriously humorous, filled with accurate character beats and character insights, and gets Regina and Emma together in a believable way.

When It's Time To Turn The Page (Natasha Romanov/Kate Bishop)

Post Winter Soldier 14 fix-it fic in which Natasha responds to getting screwed over by her amnesic, paternalistic, one-armed, solviet, assassin DICK of an ex-boyfriend by sexing the fuck out of Kate Bishop. Because Kate Bishop makes everything better by a factor of one hundred. True story.

Get Loved, Make More (Gigi Darcy/Lydia Bennet)

A deliciously taut, slow-burn Gigi/Lydia fic. Also, this has some phenomenal background Lizzie/Darcy.

I Like Twistedingenue's Friday Night Prompts As Much As The Next Girl But...

...the entire first page of the Darcy/Steve tag on AO3 should not be Steve/Darcy/Bucky or Darcy/a zillion other people/also Steve.

Where is the fic where Steve and Darcy move in together and Darcy tries to explain why she never cooks but has a lemon zester? The fic where Steve helps Darcy move and her make up and utensil drawers get mixed up and she has to sort the eyelash curler from the lemon zester? THE FIC WHERE DARCY AND STEVE SEX EACH OTHER UP, NO THIRD (OR FOURTH OR FIFTH) PARTIES INVOLVED?

Author's Note: Literally written at 2:30 a.m. Written for sugar_fey's prompt from Deathless by Catherynne M. Valente, "A farmer wants his son to be afraid of beautiful women, so he will not leave home too soon, so he tells a story about how one drowned his brother's cousin's friend in a lake, not because he was a pig who deserved to be drowned, but because beautiful women are bad, and also witches. And it doesn't matter that she didn't ask to be beautiful, or to be born in a lake, or to live forever, or to not know how men breathe until they stop doing it."

Bright Future In Sales

gacked from musesfool:

Tell me about stories you think I should write. I mean, if you could sit me down for a day or whatever and say, "Red, I want you to write this story for me," what would that story be?

I'm not actually promising to *write* any of these, mind you, but it's fun anyway. And who knows if I'll be inspired!

I feel like now is a good time to do this meme, because I've been feeling kind of blah about fanfic lately. Can't motivate myself to finish cleaning up an almost-complete fic, can't find new fics to read, so I'm rereading fics I've bookmarked, etc. Also, I went through old fanfic comment memes and pulled out the prompts that I'd prompted multiple times, on the theory that if I want those fics that badly (and I do) I should see about writing them myself. That's how the most recent fic I posted came into being - I came across a prompt (not one of mine) on a meme I'd missed, and just had to write it.
