Canon gay/lesbian pairings: (all f/f)
Creature Court Trilogy - Isangell/Kelpie
Lip Service - Lexy/Tess, Lexy/Sam (though I only request Lexy/Sam as part of Lexy/Tess/Sam)
Out at the Wedding - Risa/Jeannie

Prompts: I have specific prompts for all my requested ships in my letter.

The Creature Court Trilogy by Tansy Rayner Roberts is a fantasy series with more canon queer couples/characters than the f/f couple I've requested, and that mixes shapeshifting magic and fantasy with history, theatre, and 1920s flappers. There's a hidden world most people can't see where the sky falls every night and people with magic fight it back to save the sleeping daylight world. My ship is the daylight ruler of the city and a member of the hidden magical world who falls for her while protecting her at the end of the series. There is a main bisexual character who dies and a lot of darker content if that's something you try to avoid, though fwiw the death is in a context where lots more straight characters die and didn't bother me personally as someone who avoids bury your gays. And while this is an established older series, the author recently regained her rights to it and re-published the ebooks so if you're looking to pick up a new canon it comes with the added bonus that you're more directly supporting an author!

Lip Service got called the Scottish L Word a lot when it was airing, and is exactly what that implies - a lesbian romantic drama in Scotland. The characters I've requested are in a canon love triangle and all the characters on this show are in general very likeable but complex/fallible and trying really hard to get things right but making amusingly terrible life and romantic choices along the way.

Out at the Wedding is a little indie rom com movie about a straight woman who accidentally (then deliberately) lies to her conservative family about having a girlfriend when she goes home for her sister's wedding, and her friends encourage her to find a fake girlfriend back home to play along instead of coming clean. The main character and her friends are exactly as much of a mess as you might expect with that premise, but hidden inside all of that is a sweet gem of a romance that develops between the fake girlfriend Risa and the recently married sister Jeannie.
