I'd love recs for fanworks featuring Hermione Granger.

That's everything with Hermione I've written.

Requesting some recs for works based on Fairy Tales, any versions, adaptations or retellings - Cinderella & Rapunzel are particular favorites, but any would be appreciated.

I'd love some recs for post-apocalypse canons. Thank you! ♥

I'd love some recs for SF written by women or with female main characters, but where the central story element is some big philosophical idea rather than a character or a fantasy setting. Something like the Ancillary series which had all those different threads about consciousness and embodiment and love.

Octavia Butler writes a lot of this. If you liked Ancillary, I recommend the Xenogenesis (aka Lilith's Brood) trilogy, in which a species of gene-mixing aliens shows up to rescue humanity from itself via biological assimilation. First book follows a human woman through first contact, the next one focuses on her hybrid son, and it ends with the first third-sex hybrid.

Lots of thoughtful stuff about colonization, racial & gendered violence, species identity, self-determination versus biological predetermination, and genetic engineering. Plus, since it's Butler, lots of iddy pheremone bonding, and angst over what that means. The aliens have three sexes involved in reproduction, and travel in living spaceships.

Oooh, thank you! This sounds absolutely like what I'm looking for.
