Happy Femslash February, folks! Long time no post. I haven't been through the entire CHEx collection, but I can feel my energy plummeting due to life/work reasons, so I figured better to post recs from what I've seen even if it's not comprehensive! All of these are rated T or below; there are others that I enjoyed but these were my favorite four out of all of them. (I suppose favorite five would have also worked for alliterative purposes, but four is more symmetrical.)


Two original work recs:
moth and flame have a sweetheart deal (fantasy, guard/princess, ~1.9k)
Pining is a way to put it, but not just in the saccharine way of crushes and romantic longings -- pining for freedom, clarity, leverage. It lets the characters be jagged and brutal and sympathetic, which makes them matter.

Space Aliens! On an Adventure with Pirates (contemporary, actor/stunt person, ~1.8k)
A fluffy little kinda-meet-cute with really excellent dialogue between charmingly nerdy craftspeople.


And two fanwork recs:
Who Could Ask For Anything More? (Dimension 20: The Unsleeping City, Josefina/Misty, ~3.4k)
An achingly beautiful sequence that brings life to (a sliver of) Rowan's past as well as the tragedy of her firework-glittering affair with Josefina.

As the Ocean Courts the Strand (Fallen London, Hephaesta/Pirate Poet, ~300)
A short, resonantly poetic snippet that perfectly captures the tone of the source material; it wouldn't be out of place in a Sunless game.
