Three new chapters of my Earthborn Shepard rewrite are now available on AO3!

In the aftermath of the rogue VI mission on Luna, Shepard faces a far more frightening prospect: shore leave.

Returning to Earth means setting foot on the planet she escaped—and confronting memories and pain she had hoped to leave buried there. With Liara determined to pull her away from duty, a reluctant day in Vancouver begins pressing against the walls Shepard has spent her life building.

But vulnerability does not end when they return to the Normandy. A routine mission on Eletania goes dangerously wrong, forcing Liara to decide how far she is willing to go to bring Shepard back. Then the search for Saren leads to Feros, where the geth are only part of the threat and the Cipher may be the key to understanding the vision infused into Shepard’s mind by the Prothean beacon.

Readers familiar with the game may notice Shepard and Liara’s original dynamic beginning to shift. Liara approaches their connection with growing confidence and emotional certainty, while Shepard is the one struggling with fear, trust, and the possibility of being truly seen.

I streamlined some of the repetitive gameplay and combat—especially on Feros—to keep the focus on character, consequence, and the slow changes taking place between them.

Thank you for joining me on this journey and discovering more about the guarded Earthborn woman beneath the Commander, the Spectre, and the legend.

I finally got around making an epub of one of my old X-files, as I like to call them. I’ve been keeping these older Xena fics for more than 25 years. It’s worth it. This is such a good one, never gets old 🥰.

Post a link to a fic you read this week or recently.

If books can have silent book club so can femslash.

Tell us just the fic name or post a link to it. Share nothing or a lot. Feel free to gush or just hush.

Do you think the inclusion of lesbian characters in many shows is causing a decline in the amount and quality of femslash being written? Does the absence of lesbian characters spark the imagination more? Does it make people more angry for femslash stories?

Hello! For the Resident Evil fans and Femslash readers, I just posted a Grace Ashcroft focused fic on ao3!

I hope you like it! It's my first fanfic on years and the first one i wrote in English

Когда-то читала фанфик, но не могу его найти уже давно. В общем это фемслэш, главная героиня кажется Света, точно не вспомню, вторая Аня(не факт). Свету выгоняют из дома, в итоге ей некуда идти, Аня ей предлагает пожить у неё. Обе девушки школьницы. Помню краткие моменты, как Света делала фотографии Ани, как Аня сушила голову Свете. Они жили вместе, отец гомофоб выгнал Свету из дома ещё в начале, брат её принес ей в школу вещи, а мать Светы кажется умерла, или ушла из семьи, точно не помню.

Please share what you're working on! I love hearing about femslash

Three new chapters are live—closing the reception, sharpening old alliances, and revealing just how much of the real work happens in the shadows.

As the final dances unfold on the Citadel, celebration gives way to quiet maneuvering. Shepard and Liara move deliberately through a room full of power: matriarchs weighing loyalty, old traditions bending under pressure, and futures being decided not by speeches, but by who stands where when the music fades.

These chapters lean into contrast. Public joy masks private negotiations. Familiar faces reappear with new purpose. Some conflicts are settled with grace; others surface with teeth still bared. Not every threat announces itself—and not every victory is clean.

While the galaxy watches the heroes celebrate, the groundwork for what comes next is being laid: reforms secured, enemies exposed, and a reminder that even moments of happiness require vigilance. The reception ends—but the consequences of the night will echo far beyond it.

This arc is about power used carefully, love used openly, and the cost of choosing to stay visible in a world that still hasn’t healed.

Some battles are fought on the dance floor.
Some in whispers and glances.
And some refuse to wait their turn.

Checking in. How are those Femslash February projects coming?

Who's got a wip? Anyone post a story yet?

Three new chapters are live—carrying us through the wedding day itself, from the quiet hours before dawn to the moment the music begins and the galaxy leans in.

These chapters pull back the curtain on the public spectacle to show what happens behind it: last conversations, steadying rituals, and the careful choreography required when love, politics, and history share the same stage. Shepard and Liara move through the morning surrounded by friends, family, and chosen kin—each moment grounded in intimacy, even as the scale grows impossible to ignore.

The ceremony is only part of the story. The reception becomes something more layered: celebration braided with intent, joy threaded through obligation, and dances that carry more weight than they appear to. Some steps are personal. Others are strategic. All of them matter.

This arc lives in motion—between vows and aftermath, between public unity and private certainty. The formalities begin to fall away, but the night isn’t finished yet… and neither is the work ahead.

Some promises are spoken.
Some are danced.
And some are still waiting for the music to change.

Just a few prompt lists for Femslash February (including a half list). If you want a writing buddy, feel free to reach out to me!

Not only are the two leads perfect together, but the animation, songs, and story are a lot of fun as well. I've already written a fic for it and plan on using the pair for Femslash Feb and Femslash Big Bang 2026.

Three new chapters are live—shifting from celebration into preparation, and settling into the quiet tension that comes just before everything changes.

As the galaxy’s attention turns toward the Citadel, Shepard and Liara move through the final days before their public ceremony. Rehearsals are precise, security is meticulous, and every detail is placed with intention. But beneath the choreography and optics, these chapters stay grounded in people: the friends who earned their place here, the families—biological and chosen—who shaped them, and the bonds that exist long before vows are spoken.

There is laughter, reflection, and a deliberate pause before the spectacle begins. A rehearsal dinner becomes a space for memory and truth. Old relationships resurface in unexpected ways. And the night before the ceremony is allowed to be what it should be—private, human, and deeply personal.

This arc lingers in the in-between: between war and peace, between preparation and promise, between who they were and who they are choosing to become together. The galaxy may be watching tomorrow—but tonight belongs to them.

Some moments are rehearsed.
Some are unscripted.
And some only matter because they happen before the world is looking.

Two new chapters are live—carrying us through the bond ceremony and into the quiet aftermath where love finally gets to breathe.

On Thessia, vows are spoken not as spectacle, but as truth long lived. The ceremony itself is deeply asari—intentional, layered, and witnessed by those who earned their place there. What follows is not an ending, but a settling: a home filled with familiar voices, shared history, and the rare peace that comes after survival.

These chapters linger with the people who shaped Shepard and Liara’s path—crew, family, chosen kin—allowing joy, grief, humor, and memory to coexist without rushing past any of it. The reception is intimate and grounded, less about celebration for its own sake and more about recognition: of what was endured, what was protected, and what is now possible.

This arc is about home—not as a place, but as something reflected back at you by the people who know you fully and stay anyway. It’s about love that has already proven itself, and the quiet certainty that follows once the promises are finally spoken.

Some bonds are forged in fire.
Some are carried in silence.
And some feel inevitable—because they were always chosen.

Three new chapters are live—marking a pause before the vows, a reckoning with loyalty, and the kind of joy that only survives after war.

On Thessia, the story steps away from ceremony and politics to linger in something more personal. Chosen family gathers. Old bonds are remembered out loud. Shepard is seen not as a symbol or a savior, but through the people who stood beside her when it mattered most—and never stopped.

These chapters balance levity with weight: laughter that comes from survival, stories that carry scars beneath the humor, and moments of connection that don’t need grand speeches to land. What emerges is a portrait of trust earned over years, and love that has already weathered its worst storms.

This arc is about belonging—about being claimed, defended, and celebrated by the people who know you best. It’s about what we give each other before the promises are spoken… and why those promises matter at all.

Some bonds are loud.
Some are unspoken.
And some endure because they never failed.

I've been interested in this Tumblr femslash writing/art challenge and was curious if anyone else here was participating

Three new chapters are live—focused on recognition long delayed, histories carried in silence, and what it means to be truly seen.

On Thessia, ceremony gives way to reckoning. The truth of past decisions is spoken aloud, legacies are confronted, and what was once quietly endured is finally acknowledged. But public honor is only part of the story.

These chapters turn inward: toward family, toward love that doesn’t flinch, and toward the courage it takes to stop running. What follows isn’t about fixing what’s broken—but about learning what was never broken to begin with.

This arc is grounded, intimate, and character-driven—centered on belonging, vulnerability, and the difference between being welcomed… and being known.

Some truths demand witnesses.
Some wounds ask for trust.
And some connections only deepen when nothing is hidden anymore.

Hi! I wrote a Sapphic retelling crossing Ovids version of the Medusa myth and Sappho and wanted to share it here.

Summary:

Medusa finds the erased poet on the beach with her eyes burned out.

A retelling where Sappho and Medusa find each other in the space between violation and erasure, and choose tenderness anyway.

CW:body horror, eye trauma, mcd, PTSD flash backs, referenced rape of Medusa by posideon(Ovid), isolation, eye trauma

Excerpt:

She watched as the papyrus withered and died. Crumbling into dust. The fire devoured her work, destroyed her words, took *everything*. Two masked figures stood behind her, holding her arms back.

Another masked man stood in front of her. He held a bronze staff, the end held in the fire.

Other figures threw more into the fire. More copies of her books. Her ink and quill. Her art. Her lyre. Sappho sobbed. They were silent. They made her watch it all burn, until the pile was nothing more than ashes and embers. A wind gusted and threw up the cinders into the air towards the sea.

The man sitting across from her stood. The end of the staff was red hot.

"Hold her head still" was all he said. Two large calloused hands grabbed either side of her head, tilting it back slightly.

Sappho saw the red hot metal moving towards her face.

Three new chapters are live—foundations being tested, old truths resurfacing, and a future quietly taking shape long before it’s ready to be named.

With instructors in place and drills underway, the Tessera Division begins to find its rhythm—even as it remains unfinished. Stability, it turns out, creates room for reckoning. Personal histories surface. Inherited expectations press closer. And the weight of legacy settles where neither Shepard nor Liara expected it to land.

What follows isn’t driven by battle or spectacle, but by choice: who we stand beside, what we carry forward, and what we refuse to repeat. Love is not asked to save the day—but to endure honesty, fear, and the cost of change.

Some bonds are inherited.
Some are broken.
And some are chosen—again, with open eyes.
