Backtracking to Day 14 of

In your own space, share your love for something fannish: a trope, cliché, kink, motif, theme, format, or fandom.
Found/Chosen Family
This speaks to me on a spiritual level. The ability to choose your family for whatever reason, or being without a family for a long time and claiming one as your own. It's a powerful thing, to me.
Examples...
* Orphan Black - Mrs. S. + Sarah + Felix + Kira, Sarah + other Leda clones (namely Alison and Cosima), Sarah + Helena (this is a family dynamic I wish was explored even more than it has been, especially from Sarah's point of view. I mean, they're clones AND mirror twins, AND they were separated at birth! And while Helena felt there was a connection early on, Sarah doesn't seem to, and has never seemed to?)
* Virtually every novel Lucy Maud Montgomery ever wrote deals in some way with orphans finding a family of some kind (even within their own relations), but I'm thinking of Anne of Green Gables in particular, with Anne + Marilla & Matthew. Anne had literally no one to call her own family. And then, when she was sent to live with the Cuthberts, she was excited. Until she wasn't because she found out they had sent for a boy. And yet. They ended up keeping her. And she was so moved by that, because no one had ever wanted her until that point. ♥
Femdom
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG! This is a thing I'm so here for but I don't really see all that much.
According to the TV Tropes page for All Women Are Doms, All Men Are Subs, this is slightly more common in F/M than I've seen.
I've yet to encounter this in canonical F/F. :(
The most obvious example is Irene Adler as depicted in BBC's Sherlock. Canon domme.
Suffice it to say, femdom is something I'd like to see more of!
