Summary: SOME OF OUR MORE IMAGINATIVE READERS INFORM US that the events of the past few days -- the grisly deaths, the tragic fire, the flying carriage that caused the egregious delays on the Metropolitan and District Railway -- are attributable to the fevered pursuit of a Chinese vampire, known in its native land as a jiang shi, by the adventuress detective Madame Vastra. These readers, whose persistent letters are beginning to become tiresome, claim that this is but one of many times Madame Vastra's unravelling of a mystery has saved all of an unknowing London.

We advise these peculiar devotees that we have yet again sought an audience with Madame Vastra, who, as ever, politely declines comment on any of the wilder rumors in circulation, but wishes it known that any unusual cases requiring investigation may be brought to her attention care of this newspaper.

Reccer's Notes: Casefic with thrilling adventures, narrow escapes and lots of dashing about London. I love all the research and detail that went into this, and Jenny's point of view is wonderful.

Summary: "What the fuck is your deal?" she asked. "I’m Vriska fucking Serket, traitor to the New Crown, the one and only Two Faced Bitch, the Scourge, and I am old as balls and I have killed shit twice your size, and I am ordering you to get us into space without exploding our sorry meatsacks in the process, because I am the boss of you!"

The helmsman's pupils were narrow slits and she was breathing hard, but her gaze tracked Vriska across the small room. She was beautiful and dangerous, like a pit viper or a lieutenant with a soft heart. Vriska had put down a lot of beautiful and dangerous things. "I'm Aradia," the helmsman said. "And I don't care."


Reccer's Notes: This is great. I really like nihilistic helmsman Aradia riding the edge of destruction, and I like the equality that builds up in broken bits between her and Vriska, and I like the odd presence of the ghosts of the dead crew, and I like the ending a lot. The title doesn't mislead.

Summary: One of those psychedelic 1970s posters with a title from the 1960s and a concept from those 1940s LESBIANS FROM SPACE paperback books, you know the type because they’re awesome.

Reccer's Notes: Exactly that awesome.

Summary:
“You will always love the wrong men,” Cassandra breathes. “And that will bring you nothing but sorrow.”

It’s Helen’s oldest darkest fear, and as Cassandra’s words draw it into the sunlight it melts away like smoke.


Reccer's Notes: Bittersweet fic showing how Cassandra and Helen find each other during the middle of the Trojan War.

Rating: Explicit

Theme: Femslash

Summary: Erica and Stiles are convinced that they're going to go down in history as the first-ever omegas at Beacon Hills High School to go unclaimed. But they also, deep down, have an alpha that they're hoping will come to them when they go into heat. Both of these ideas about instinctive mating are pretty much entirely wrong.

Reccer's Notes: This is part 1 of a four part (so far) series called claiming is confusing. It's an A/B/O fic where Erica is an omega and Lydia is an alpha, and every spring, alphas and omegas mate. The worldbuilding is wonderful and so is the relationship between Erica and Lydia that continue throughout the series. In Arrives Without a Suitcase, the 4th part to the series, all three couples (Erica/Lydia, Scott/Allison, Derek/Stiles) are pregnant and it chronicles their journey from pregnancy to babies.

Summary: Since getting drawn into the Arrow and Black Canary's world Felicity learned many things. Some that she'd needed to know and others that she'd had no idea she'd wanted her entire life.

Reccer's Notes: All three of these women are amazing and hot in canon, and in this fic, they get together to teach Felicity many things while also sharing a bath together.

Summary: Codex comes to some realizations about herself, and it turns out they're not quite as private as she thought.

Reccer's Notes: This fic nails the characters' voices and tone of the show while following its structure; it feels like an episode, complete with Codex ruminating on her feelings toward Tink to her webcam diary.

Summary: Banner doesn’t smile much, and when she does it’s usually because of science, because Toni coaxed it out of her, or both.

Reccer's Notes: The artist draws lots of fun pieces of ladyfied Avengers in various femslashy situations. Their pieces usually have a well thought-out scenario behind them, as well as giving the women varied and realistic proportions, rather than just being splashy pin-ups. This one is my current favourite, because what's not to love about lady scientists?
