Don't Have To Know Canon F/F Rec Fest
This is a collection for all the fanworks (hosted on AO3) recced at the Don't Have to Know Canon Femslash Rec Fest hosted over at my journal on Dreamwidth. The fest is currently ongoing, so come join us if you want to leave a rec! Anon commenting is turned on. Some recs may have more details over there for why the reccer likes the work.
Generally, this rec fest features narrative fanworks that are a) primarily femslash and b) require little to no canon knowledge to be enjoyed.
This collection is maintained by sylvaine, the host of the rec fest. The recs are from everyone leaving comments on that post. If you would like something added to the collection, please post the links there! Bookmarks are works that were submitted here before I figured out how to close the collection. :P
For what it's worth, I (sylvaine) promise not to ever set your fanworks to hidden or anonymous if you approve your work to be added to the collection.
(Closed, Moderated)

"Before I go,” Albinia murmured, “there is one thing I really did want to tell you. Though I suppose it won’t make a difference to you now.”
Clementia swallowed. “What is it?”
“I’m not wearing a shirt under this coat.”
Or, the one where a regency debutante decides maybe the trouble is worth it.

Summary
Grandmother ruled Gir Niajra, and always had.
Jummai felt certain this was so, mostly because it was impossible to imagine otherwise: anyone, anyone at all, seated so comfortably on that great golden throne except Grandmother? Anyone who could look or speak with such authority, to whom so many great and worthy people bowed down? No—only Grandmother. It had always been Grandmother, and it always would be.
Then Grandmother died; and there was a war.
(Or: Jummai is a princess without a throne—but she has no intention of leaving to others what is rightfully hers. She needs a wife with an army, and gets one; but her wife seems impervious to her tactical charm, she keeps making mistakes, and her cousin still wants her dead.)
