Forgot to say thank you. (That's also how I know I snagged it for the master list)

A few female-focused fics

[zaniida]

Okay, hope I made the right choices for this event, but here goes. All but two of these are WIP (I update slowly and sporadically), and the two that are finished are short, but they all focus on a female POV/mindset -- except for Game Night Newbies, which is a group of more female than male characters, with a focus on integrating one of the women into the group (it's male-POV, but light on narrative POV).

Five Moments of Intimacy fics

The FMI fic form showcases nonsexual intimacy in five distinct categories (physical/sensual, emotional, experiential, secret sharing, and vulnerability/acceptance), in some order.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Five Moments of Friendship Is Magic (pagefic: five scenes, each one page exactly)

Twilight spends one day with each of her new friends, just to get to know them. It's a bit overwhelming.

Recettear: Five Moments of Friendship (pagefic)

Recette has a casual encounter with five of the adventurers (three female, two male). (I have a few more Recettear fics in the works; the AO3 fandom's pretty lean, which is a pity because the characters are so colorful!)

Thor/MCU: Five Intimacies Lost Over Time (Three-Sentence FMI: five scenes, three sentences each, fifteen sentences total)

A mother's point of view on what's happened to her son, as Frigga compares current Loki to the child she raised (with a smaller counterpoint of Loki's POV about losing connection to Frigga).

Other Fics

Person of Interest: Twerpsitting

Shaw's POV as she has to "babysit" Leon Tao. I mostly capitalized on her annoyance. (The AO3 version is kinda buried in author's notes, so the link goes to the FFN version.)

Thor/MCU: Storms and Shadows

Darcy's waiting out the storm when a mysterious stranger (Loki) shows up out of nowhere. Heavily Darcy POV as she navigates the spooky setup and potential threat.

MCU: Game Night Newbies

In a scene that could not possibly occur anywhere in the canonical MCU, Peter Parker and MJ have somehow gotten Nebula, Bucky, and the Valkyrie to join them for a game night. POV is lightly Peter; focus is on Nebula and her anxieties/angst/issues, with a lesser focus on a rivalry between the Valkyrie and Bucky; Peter and MJ are mostly there to host/facilitate and to provide the modern-human perspective (since all three guests are foreign to modern human culture).

---

So those are the fics I've posted with a strong focus on female viewpoint/experiences. (I'd add a link to a chapter of Pepper fighting Loki, because Pepper doesn't get enough solo outings, but the fic as a whole is male-focused so (as I understand it) it doesn't count.) Enjoy!

Fic - Prodigal Son - Jessica & Ainsley Whitley - Choices

[cmk418]

“My life would be so much easier if I'd just chosen to be a hermit,” Jessica said.

“A hermit? You?” Ainsley laughed.

“Oh, not one of those smelly old men with the beard down to their knees, but, just alone.”

“Mother, you've never been alone in your life.”

“True. But life would have been easier if I'd chosen otherwise. When I was twenty, shortly before I met your father, I stayed at my family's residence in Switzerland. None of the rest of the family had accompanied me so I was alone with the house staff. It was a wonderful, peaceful time. I think back and wonder what would have happened if I'd stayed in that house, all alone. Martin would never have ruined my life. I could have run the family foundation from that home- father had more than a bit of money in Swiss banks. It would have been wonderful.”

“It would have been lonely.”

“True.”

“And you wouldn't have had me and Malcolm.”

Jessica gave a hum of assent. “It's a shame I can't go back to it now though. Father sold the chalet fifteen years ago.”

“You'll just have to stay here, surrounded by your adoring family and friends.” Ainsley gave her a one-armed hug.

“It is a cross I'll have to bear.”
