awesome women recs post

[such_heights]

In the spirit of womenlovefest, I thought I'd host a little festival of recs. Some of the women we love have loads of stuff made for them, but not everyone knows where that is, and for other characters the goods are unfortunately few and far between.

How it works: you comment with an awesome lady you'd like some fanwork recs for, with details as appropriate. Other people comment with links. Squee for all!

Examples:

+ Amy Pond, fic or art set between the main action of the Eleventh Hour and the end of the episode. Gen preferred, though background Amy/Rory is fine.
+ Laura Roslin, icons and journal headers. No spoilers past s2, please.
+ Toph Bei Fong, any medium, any ship, with bonus points for femslash.

Put the character name in the subject of your comment. If someone's already commented with the character you had in mind, feel free to add your request beneath theirs in the thread.

I'll be in and out today, but will try and leave some recs for all the characters that I can! Feel free to include characters from fandoms I don't know, too, and hopefully other people can help you out.

Comments

Olivia Dunham, Fringe

[such_heights]

Anyone got any Olivia fic recs for me? Olivia, Altlivia, all the Olivias! Preferably not heavily Olivia/Peter, though background is okay, and any other het/femslash ships welcome.

Martha Jones, Doctor Who

[such_heights]

Rec me your favourite Martha fanworks! I'd be particularly interested to see anything that is set in s4 and beyond, and if anyone has anything with her interacting with Team Eleven, that would be amazing.

Kensi Blye, NCIS:LA

[eleanorjane]

Kensi from NCIS:LA - any genre. I kind of ship her with Deeks but I'm happy to read gen or other pairings, and crossover with the main NCIS series is fine too.

(HOW do I not have a Kensi icon?! *woe*)

Naomi Campbell, Skins

[fly_to_dawn]

I'd love to see anything that takes place after S4, whether involving Emily or not!

Gwen Cooper, Torchwood

[netgirl_y2k]

I would love some fic recs (gen, het, femslash, hit me with your best shot!) really just anything where the focus is on Gwen.

Freya, Merlin

[sophinisba]

Fic, podfic, or art. These days we get a lot of great Arthur/Merlin fics that feature strong appearances by Freya, but I'm looking for anything where she is part of the main pairing. In fic I'd especially love modern AUs in her POV.

Re: Freya, Merlin

[emei]

I just started reading Lady Ragnell's These Inconvenient Fireworks, 13 000 words of Freya/Gwaine modern AU. Have you read that one? Gwaine POV so far, but still awesome.

Re: Freya, Merlin

[sophinisba]

That sounds wonderful and I hadn't seen it, thanks!

Jenny Shepard, NCIS

[used_songs]

I would love anything that's pre-series - Jenny as a badass agent in Europe, for example.

Cersei Lannister, A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones

[chaila]

A shot in the dark, but you never know!

I always think there must be some good angry Cersei Lannister fic out there, but I'm not embedded enough in the fandom to find it. Any pairing or rating is great, but bonus points if she's really pissed at Jaime.

Re: Martha Jones, Doctor Who

[copracat]

The Almost Last of the Timelords Benevolent Society - an all too brief Martha/Romana story.

Kate Harper, The West Wing

[twtd]

Anything at all, really. I'll even taken ensemble fic if she's actually in the ensemble.

Re: Cersei Lannister, A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones

[netgirl_y2k]

the joinery is a Cersei/Ned AU where Ned takes the throne instead of Robert, but mostly it is a really great character study of Cersei.

Re: Olivia Dunham, Fringe

[chaila]

This may not be new to you, and it's Astrid POV (somehow I think you won't mind?), but I adore Olivia through Astrid's eyes in this, as well as everything else: when we've been here a thousand years.

Re: Kate Harper, The West Wing

[chaila]

damelola wrote me THE BEST Kate & CJ fic. I'm biased obviously, but I think it's lovely: Connection.

This is CJ-centric, but has a very nice section with Kate: Everything's Green.

Re: Cersei Lannister, A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones

[chaila]

Oh that's very intriguing. I am SOLD by the first two sections anyway. :) Thanks!

Re: Martha Jones, Doctor Who

[coffeesuperhero]

Fellow Traveller. Set during the year that never was, Martha meets River Song.

Minerva McGonagall, Harry Potter

[coffeesuperhero]

Gen preferred, but anything, really. Anything at all!

Abbey Bartlet, The West Wing

[coffeesuperhero]

Somewhere on the internet, someone must have written an Abbey epic, right? Where Jed/Abbey is probably there (because ♥) but really the story is all about her? Because she's awesome? Right? Yes? Somewhere? A girl can dream!

Re: Olivia Dunham, Fringe

[dharmavati]

Like Dancing (or How Esther Figglesworth Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Her Job) - Olivia/Astrid in the Brown Betty AU :)

Kalinda Sharma, The Good Wife

[dharmavati]

I'd love anything gen or femslashy. Anything particularly about her relationship with Alicia would be amazing. :)

Re: Minerva McGonagall, Harry Potter

[liseuse]

Well, there is a whole plethora over at quinquatrus - which is devoted to Minerva. But, I especially recommend Air Heart, The Supervisor's Tale and Little Boy Blue and the Man in the Moon.

Beverly Crusher, TNG

[ladymercury_10]

The fandom is so old I don't know where to look. Gen preferred, but any recs would be welcome. Fic, vids, icons--anything really, except I don't have time to read long multi-chapter fics.

Patty Chase, Angela Chase - My So-Called Life

[liseuse]

I have no idea where to begin looking for this fandom, but I feel the need to read fics about these two. Either separately, or together. For extra bonus points, and virtual cupcakes, future!fic stuff where they have heart-to-hearts.

Moira MacTaggert, XMFC-verse

[pocky_slash]

I'd prefer gen or femslash, or even plotty fic with other ships where she features heavily, but isn't the main character.
