Femslash Festivus 2025

[isabrella]

A mini-challenge for anyone who would love to see more femslash in the world and especially in this year's Yuletide!

Femslash Festivus is a collection post for femslash requests that you are making for Yuletide. Posting here doesn't obligate you to do anything, but it helps other femslashers find you and treat you.

Posting guidelines:

• Your request must center around a femslash pairing or poly arrangement involving at least two women.
• The femslash should be front and center of your requests in this post.
• You can include any characters you want - if you're requesting gender-bending, please do note that clearly in your post.
• Use your good judgement about ships with non-binary, gender fluid, genderqueer etc. characters; I'm thinking along the lines of the Femslash Ex rules, where you can include them if you'd be comfortable tagging any works about them as femslash.
• If you are asking for femslash in a fandom where you requested Worldbuilding, no characters, or just one character, this is perfectly fine! Just talk up the kind of pairings you'd want to receive in your comment.
• Another idea is to note whether you're interested in porn or prefer more G/T-rated content.

Fandom: Dot (BBC Radio)

Requested Characters/Ships (if applicable): Dot/Millicent Hillary Hillary Jones

One sentence pitch for your ship: two British secretaries working in the cabinet war rooms during WW2, bickering and having a homoerotically-charged rivalry (they kissed at least once due to Comedy Shenanigans)

Prompts: something playing with Dot's canonical resemblance to Vera Lynn; a post-war reunion; Dot and Millicent in a sticky situation that might prompt moments of unexpected bravery or emotional confessions; their first time having sex

Fandom: In The Light: A Faustian Tale - Mott/Wright & Silvestri

Requested Characters/Ships (if applicable): Ana Faustus/Gretchen Wagner

One sentence pitch for your ship: a scholar's half-neglected wife and an unconventional young woman thirsting for knowledge and education meet and form a (doomed?) connection in this retelling of the Faust myth

Prompts: fix-it where Ana is not executed and Gretchen "keeps" her, the two now-widows perhaps finding something new together; anything paralleling Ana/Gretchen with other relationships in the musical; something more dubcon-y where Johann (instructed by The Traveller?) pushes Ana to seduce Gretchen to further his plans

Any Other Details: for both of these, I'm happy with fics of any rating.
I also have a few femslash prompts for Nyaight of the Living Cat in my letter, but as they aren't quite front and centre in the request, I didn't include them in full. But if you like comedy zombie survival horror girlfriends trying desperately to reunite, feel free to check that out, too!
