Fics with prominent female characters.
I've noticed that fandom spaces tend to ignore female characters entirely. This can make it really hard to find good female characters!
Sooo i've made this collection, to help you find something new to read. Check the bookmarks, they have handwritten notes+ tags for length and content!

SUBJECT: Regarding Senate Guard Objectives For Today
This is a polite reminder to all guardsmen that patrol schedules for the Senate vote ratifying dictatorships are posted in the breakroom. I am also issuing a warning to linear time that days should follow sequentially and are not intended to repeat. Please cease repeating. I am getting a headache.
Additionally, I'd like to remind all guardsmen that it is illegal to harbor invisible women in the Senate. If you see a ghost claiming to be Leia Organa, please remove her from the premises. She will be making a scene.
Thank you for your cooperation in preserving the peace of the Republic, and all hail the Empire.

Summary
Natalia is stacking blocks very carefully when the adults come into the room. None of them look at her, because they're all looking at her father. He's wearing combat gear, and the hair on the left side of his head is slicked back with blood. He smells like smoke and something unnameable, sweet and dark and a little sickly in her nose.
Father is saying, “Don't be ridiculous. The only thing children are good at is disobeying.”

Summary
A group of pirates kill a merid, only to find that she was a mer-matron, and they have orphaned her young daughter. Who would they be if they did not save the child?
They wouldn't be the legends they are now, that's for sure.

Summary
Taylor is a horrifically bullied teenage girl who has the superpower to control bugs and is three steps from going Carrie on her school. The only thing keeping her going is a burning desire to become a hero, and have literally anything in her life not defined by trauma. So when an opportunity to become a hero arises she leaps for it, even if it means jumping into another world.
Ciri is a traumatized princess hunted by her past, filled with unfathomable interdimensional power, righteous determination, and less restraint than one might hope. Caught by a monster and about to die, she reaches out with her power to pull a hero from another world to save her. A hero and, maybe, a friend.
Geralt is a magically mutated superhuman who has been stoically exterminating monsters for over a century. He is good at his job, reliable, and avoids politics at all costs. Politics, however, sometimes finds him anyway, which is how he found himself the ward of a young dethroned princess with more bravado than wits. He'll manage just like always though, and find a way to balance his monster slaying job with caring for this magical teenage powerhouse.
However two teenage powerhouses might be too much even for him.

As someone who knows fuck-all about the witcher, I love this fic. the characters all have distinct tones of voice, and their interactions slap too! and I love the concept. There's clearly a lot of work put into this-- and you should give it a read!
I larb Taylor so much btw. Also i'm just now realizing she's not an OC like :| -

If you asked Hoshi, anyone foolish enough to talk about their secret plans for world domination in a crowded restaurant deserved to be overheard.

Hoshi (the oc) fits really well into the existing world of JJK. The characters are on point, as is the writing!
