Fannish 50: HalfAMoon: Day 11 - Love

Rec list for femslash in rare fandoms. They can be read without canon knowledge.

would my heart be changed by Damkianna (Gladiator - Dami Im (Music Video), Warrior/Princess)

Summary:
Min will rescue the sacred princess. She knows this, and always has; it is foretold. But the girl she finds in the Shadow King's fortress is not the princess she had expected, and she does not understand it.

(aka, your average fairytale: girl argues with girl, girl saves girl, girl saves girl right back, with a side of bedsharing and amnesia and stubbornness.)

Comment: Action, angst, identity issues, hurt/comfort and world building: what's not to love?. The Gladiator music video is fun to watch and very femslashy: link to the music video

Life, Love and Lord Gangrok by htbthomas (Doris & Mary-Anne Are Breaking Out Of Prison (Web Series), Doris Delaney/Mary-Anne)

Summary: Two girls on the lam get a little help from their Lord (and each other). Doris & Mary-Anne Are Breaking Out Of Prison is about the comedic antics of two gals stuck in prison during the Roaring 1920s: link to the series

Comment: fun and sweet, with a lot of lovely small details.

where our boundaries were thinnest by suitablyskippy
(We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson, Constance/Merricat)

Summary: “There can’t be anyone else,” I said. “There isn’t anyone else. No one else exists except you and me and Uncle Julian and Jonas; all the rest of them are dead and only pretending to be alive. If you married a husband he would be dead and you would bring a dead man into our home, so you can’t.”
 
(There was nothing a husband could do for Constance that I couldn’t, except take her name away from her and give her a baby.)

Comment: a beautiful, yet dark and unsettling character study of a codependent relationship
