Femslash Ex Stories: Original Fiction and Black Panther

[rachelmanija]

I know it’s Saturday but the collection only opened late last night, and I have two stories that are too good to wait a week to read and likely to be of general interest to many here. You can check out the entire collection by fandom here, or just original works here.

I got two wonderful stories for the same prompt, Military Officer Desperate To Redeem Her Honor/Loyal Subordinate Trying To Keep Her Alive. Both have fascinating worldbuilding, nicely structured plots, great characters, and ALL the military camaraderie and loyalty one could possibly want. I hope you’ll read them both, as they’re both well worth reading and quite different. (Also it’s always fun to read two different takes on the same prompt.)

Loved I not Honor more .

Ten Percent for Luck.

I haven’t had time to read much beyond my own stories, but I did read an absolutely delightful Shuri/Original Female Character story, “Citation Flirtation,” with banter that could have come straight out of Black Panther. T’Challa plays a charming supporting role.

There is so much good stuff in the exchange this year!

[rachelmanija]

It's such a reliably good exchange. Especially for original fiction, IMO.

I beta-read this one and thought of you while I was doing so:

Poisons
original fiction, Court Poisoner/Court Physician, Serial Killer/Detective, Female Prophet/Heroine Prophesied to Kill Her
(all one ship!)

[rachelmanija]

I just finished it and it was excellent.

[ursula]

That was an excellent prompt! Thank you!

[rachelmanija]

Thank YOU! That was a great story.

I'm so glad you liked it! :) I've become very attached to them as I keep thinking about it, and want all the stupid restrained pining.

[rachelmanija]

Me too! I loved it.

ETA: I don't know if this is too weird - if so, tell me and I will delete it - but were you by any chance inquiring anonymously elsewhere about how best to knock someone out without harming them? Because if so, I was the person who suggested the phrasing for the thing you actually went with.

[reconditarmonia]

HAHA YUP THAT WAS TOTALLY ME. Among other inquiries on ffa related to this fic. Sorry?

[rachelmanija]

Haha, glad I could help. This will now go down forever as one of my favorite fic exchange moments.

[reconditarmonia]

Ah, well, I'm glad it will for you! I'm so embarrassed :|

[rachelmanija]

Oh, I'm sorry I mentioned it then. I can delete the whole thread if you like. Honestly, I thought it was a cool "ships passing in the night" type of thing.

[reconditarmonia]

It's fine - it'll teach me to brainstorm so publicly, I guess!

[rachelmanija]

There's nothing wrong with brainstorming publicly! I only noticed when I was re-reading the story for, like, the third time. ;)

[reconditarmonia]

Well, I'm glad it was something you felt like reading multiple times :)
