I'm not sure I'm going to be able to write anything else for the challenge, but here are some female-character-centric stories I've written over the years:
Seven Firefly stories:
And Bind Up Every Wandering TressFirefly; River, Kaylee, Inara, Zoe; pg-13; 1230 words
Like Rapunzel, she will let down her hair, and they can all climb inside her.
Beautiful Solution Firefly; River/Mal; adult; 2,030 words
River knows where she's not wanted, and, more importantly, where she is.
It's wrong to wish on space hardwareFirefly; Kaylee, Mal; g; 1,005 words
She makes sure the new bits and pieces get broke in the right way, so as they fit with the old, everything working together to keep her girl in the air.
The Place WhereFirefly; Zoe and Mal; g; 1,270 words
As long as he's still breathing, she'll always have a home.
Another GravityFirefly; Mal/Zoe; pg-13; 1,490 words
She chose him once, when the 'verse went spinning wrong way up and everything seemed lost, and now she chooses him again.
Where the heavens are shallow as the sea is now deepFirefly; Inara (Mal/Inara, Mal/River); PG; 6,915 words
Inara wavers between the two lives she's living; she knows the time is nearing when she will have to make a choice, and she's not sure she can.
From Horizon to HorizonFirefly; Kaylee/Simon, Kaylee/Mal; PG; 15,210 words
Kaylee's no fairytale princess, but she's looking for a perfect fit.
and one Friday Night Lights/Supernatural crossover:
Atlanta Never Looked the SameFriday Night Lights/Supernatural; Tyra (Sam and Dean); pg; 8,550 words
Tyra's never been the kind of girl who looks back.
