Summary: When Tohru learns of a way for the woman she loves to become one of her own kind, even temporarily, the dragon maid naturally jumps at the chance. But some differences are more than skin deep.

Tohru sniffled, wiping her eyes. Her hand covered her mouth as she stared into space.

"Ever since that night." Her voice was a tearful whisper, almost angry. "I've only wanted you to love me."

"It took me a while." Kobayashi's fingers were stroking her hair, scratching the spots where horns sprouted from her head. "I had to learn how."

Canon recs: ATA Girl, and Shilling & Sixpence Investigate

[lyssie]

Both of these canons are audio-only adventures, and both are available through Big Finish.

1. ATA Girl. Big Finish series about the women of the Air Trqansport Auxilliary during WW2. It's written and produced by women, and most of the people in it are women. I thought it was really good, gripping, fantastic. Lots of adjectives like that. It's also heart-breaking, painful to listen to at times (that adult content warning really needs to be heeded), and depressing. If you're into Things Women Did During WW2, you'll probably enjoy this. I've a somewhat longer review, including a bit about the content warnings here.

2. Shilling & Sixpence Investigate. I was a bit hesitant, as Shilling is the overall narrator. But Lavinia Sixpence has a very strong presence, and many of the secondary characters are women (and I would argue that quite a lot of the plot is driven by the women). Lavinia Sixpence is the headmistress of a girls' school, who has just hired Desmund Shilling as her head of English. He barely has time to settle in before she is dragging him into one murder mystery after another. This is set just before WW2 in a sleepy English village peopled with lots of accents, eccentric women, and murders. It's a bit Marple + Midsomer Murders, and I am hoping to one day grow up to be Lavinia Sixpence. It does end on a cliff-hanger, and if it doesn't get a second series, I will probably end up writing all of the ridiculous fanfiction.
