Prompts Post: Female Characters

[harborshore]

So it's been a while since I did one of these. I'm working on a number of original fic prompts that are making me very, very happy, but I also feel like writing short things. So. This month is female characters month, I've decided (partly because I signed up for ladiesbigbang, partly just because, you know).

Guidelines for prompt: Leave me a female character, note if you want gen or femmeslash, and a prompt, preferably a crossover or magical scenario but ordinary ones are fine too. So, for instance: Z had no idea what made her knock on the door of that blue telephone box. Or: Veronica Mars was tired of being woken up in the middle of the night to go deal with things the local Sheriff's office couldn't handle, but this time the case was a little more challenging (aliens are not Neptune standard, even if it might sometimes seem that way).

No genderswap this time, please, and no repeats of characters (unless it's one prompt that is Lyn-Z/Stephanie Brown and one that is Lyn-Z gen or something along those lines). Fandoms I'm okay to write: MSI, The Like, Greta Salpeter, other bandom ladies, Leverage, BTVS, DCU, Veronica Mars, the other usual suspects (you're welcome to try asking for someone else if you think I'm capable).

i'm completely gone for greta salpeter (*looks at desktop and sighs*) so i would love something with her. i really suck with prompts.

um...

i do like the idea that she's magical without realising it. unknowingly affecting people around her.

gen or femmeslash is fine?

Greta didn't figure it out until she met Patrick. Because before then, music had just sort of been a defense mechanism, something she hid behind so people didn't look at her too much. But when she met Patrick, and she was playing and singing, voice mingling with Bob's, she watched as he went from unhappy and tired (when he came in) and relaxed and laughing by the time they were done.

The thing was, she'd totally have played it off as them being awesome if she hadn't looked around the room and seen that exact expression on everyone's face, right down to the tilt of their mouths and the open, happy gazes. She shivered, and resolved to try it out again later.

So there it was. She could sway people's mood when she played, and it wasn't just that she was a fucking great performer, thank you very much, she knew she was. But she'd seen people propose on the dance floor; she'd played Gabe down from a grade-A freakout; she'd seen someone fly once, just a little, skipping six inches further off the ground with every leap. She was magical, that was just the way it was.

And then she met Hermione Granger, and nothing would ever be the same again.
