Man, you win so hard for all these. 1&2, yes, always♥ (I'm wondering if you've read Y: The Last Man? It's...not perfect, but BKV writes a wide range of women very well.)
Hmm. In no real order-- 1) The Like teen witches AU. I think this is all blindmouse's fault, but in my head it's languid & intricate & Gaiman-esque, or like a Studio Ghibli film. 2) The college AU wherein Amanda & Lyn-Z play Oberon & Tatania respectively in their drama production and fall in love. There's subtle magic in this story, the quiet humming sort underneath everything, in the slants of light in rehearsal spaces and glitter streaked on people's arms that no-one can quite explain. 3) The one where The Like are teen runaways. Maybe they're just tired, tough girls, or maybe they're werewolves, or maybe Z's fingers are always blackened from the fires she can't help starting when she's angry. Teen runaways AU! 4) The Hogwarts AU. This one could be either light & adorable during peacetime, or desperate and fierce during the war. Z never realized she was lonely before until Tennessee sat next to her on the train and introduced herself. 5) The one where Amanda & Regina see each other again & again at key historical events through centuries, never staying together for longer than a few hours. There's always a next time, for them. Somewhere Regina's crying & coming & kissing Amanda while Rome burns, and she's sitting looking out at the sea on a day in April in 1912, and she's scribbling quietly in a cafe in Paris is 1924, and Amanda's taking her hand and pulling her through Covent Garden in 1909 and 2009, and they're always the same.
