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: The Last Binding Series - Freya Marske

Requested Characters/Ships (if applicable): Maud Blyth/Violet Debenham

One sentence pitch for your ship: An actress with a mysterious past and a sheltered aristocrat who refuses to lie team up to solve magical mysteries (on a boat!)

Letter Link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dKusmFnWJswBhFaAPa8uTDUdv3nzVaa27dgIuvEY4PA/edit?tab=t.h42zn7ayii3j

Prompts: I'd love to get more fic that explores their relationship once they're off the boat and having to deal with real life, either between books 2 and 3 or after book 3. More prompts in my letter.

Any Other Details: Full DNWs in the letter. For this fandom, I'd rather no AUs (canon divergence is fine!) and no jealousy as a plot



Fandom: Mansfield Park - Jane Austen

Requested Characters/Ships (if applicable): Fanny Price/Mary Crawford

One sentence pitch for your ship: It's mean girl/shy girl, but the mean girl is also the only one in the novel who is ever nice to the shy girl.

Letter Link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dKusmFnWJswBhFaAPa8uTDUdv3nzVaa27dgIuvEY4PA/edit?tab=t.yu64enuvr7pj

Prompts: I'd love anything that explores the messy dynamic between these two. If you want to explore how they get to being a sweet couple, I'd love to see it. If you want to write toxic yuri, I'd be thrilled. More prompts in my letter.

Any Other Details: Full DNWs in my letter, and as a treat, feel free to go darker with this couple even if it touches some of my DNWs



Fandom: The Will Darling Adventures - K.J. Charles

Requested Characters/Ships (if applicable): Maisie Jones/Phoebe Stephens-Prince

One sentence pitch for your ship: Party girl aristocrat and hardworking shop girl start a fashion company together and fall in love.

Letter Link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dKusmFnWJswBhFaAPa8uTDUdv3nzVaa27dgIuvEY4PA/edit?tab=t.3gapmkc1pje (the letter is the same for Will Darling and England because the series happen in the same continuity)

Prompts: These two had a whole romance novel off the page of the main series, and I would love to see literally any scene from that. Or maybe to see them do more spy stuff! More prompts in my letter.

Any Other Details: Full DNWs in my letter. For this fandom, no high school AUs, and for this couple, I really want a happy ending



Fandom: England Series - K.J. Charles

Requested Characters/Ships (if applicable): Fenella Carruth/Patricia Merton

One sentence pitch for your ship: Super competent classic butch/femme pair that solves mysteries in 1890s England.

Letter Link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dKusmFnWJswBhFaAPa8uTDUdv3nzVaa27dgIuvEY4PA/edit?tab=t.3gapmkc1pje (the letter is the same for Will Darling and England because the series happen in the same continuity)

Prompts: I'm so glad that we got their actual romance novel, and now I want to know more about what happened to them in between their appearances in this series. Or I'd love a fic where they get involved in more spy shenanigans, either with the canon employees of the Private Bureau or in place of them. More prompts in my letter.

Any Other Details: General DNWS in the letter. For this fandom, no high school AUs
