Well, it’s March, so here’s a collection of female PoV fics I’ve enjoyed recently. It’s far, far from an exhaustive list, and a bit scattershot, if I’m honest. I kept trying to cut it down to a reasonable length but it just kept getting longer.

Really my main criteria were: a) from a female character’s PoV and b) interesting. So now I’ve got a lovely collection of fics about mothers and sisters and  aliens and warriors and royalty and survivors. Lots of survivors.

…apparently I’m bad with fluff fic, sorry.
