Recs: Het Fics Where Women Lead
I enjoy fics (fandom or original) that involve relationships with power dynamics, in which a woman has power (voluntary or involuntary) over a man. I am not interested in stories about a leather-clad, stiletto-heeled dominatrix who satisfies a man's every submissive kink. You can easily find that elsewhere.
The recs are sorted first by category: Matriarchy, Established Power Roles, or Submission, and then alphabetically by fandom (or "Original"). If a fic fits in multiple categories, it is placed in the first category that fits (e.g. a fic set in a matriarchy with slavery would be placed in the "Matriarchy" section). Most of the fics are complete. If I list a WIP, "WIP" is stated, and it's because I think enough was written to be worth reading, though it may still leave you unsatisfied.
I warn for: consent, slavery, and underage. For more detailed warnings, please check the warnings on the fic page. For the subsections under "Established Power Roles", the name of the subsection (e.g. "Slavery") is a blanket warning for that subsection. For the "Slavery" and "Capture" subsections, I issued blanket warnings for somewhat dubious consent (I still specifically warn for non-consent).
The rating that the author gave to the fic is next to the fic name. Both the G/PG/PG-13/R/NC-17 and the K/K+/T/M/MA rating systems are used, as well as individualized ratings given by the author in some cases.
I continually add to this rec list as I discover new fics. If you know of another good fic with a woman-led het relationship that isn't on this list, please message me! I can't promise that I'll add it to the list (because this is a personal rec list), but I'll be very happy to be introduced to the fic.

Poppycock by Slaymesoftly - NC-17 - Buffy/Spike
Warnings: Physical abuse
Another “Dead Things” fic written for an LJ community, it follows canon where it can and veers off where I need it to. A bit kinky (for me) and angsty, it has the obligatory Spuffy ending as well as a surprisingly accepting Xander.

The Sweet Spot by Rabid1st - NC-17 - Buffy/Spike
Spike and Buffy take some time to explore each other after the Dead Things' beating and the rocky reunion of OAFA. This fic started life as PWP and became something else entirely. It's all about motivation and convenience and what might have changed between Dead Things love scene and the one in As You Were. This fic is most definitely B/S but does include female slash of a slightly different bent.
Wiping the Slate Clean by ya_lublyu_tebya - R - Buffy/Spike
The reversal of the Tabula Rasa spell doesn't quite go according to plan and our favourite slayer and vampire are left memoryless. Just what difference will no memory of their past make in their relationship?

The recs are sorted first by category: Matriarchy, Established Power Roles, or Submission, and then alphabetically by fandom (or "Original"). If a fic fits in multiple categories, it is placed in the first category that fits (e.g. a fic set in a matriarchy with slavery would be placed in the "Matriarchy" section). Most of the fics are complete. If I list a WIP, "WIP" is stated, and it's because I think enough was written to be worth reading, though it may still leave you unsatisfied.
I warn for: consent, slavery, and underage. For more detailed warnings, please check the warnings on the fic page. For the subsections under "Established Power Roles", the name of the subsection (e.g. "Slavery") is a blanket warning for that subsection. For the "Slavery" and "Capture" subsections, I issued blanket warnings for somewhat dubious consent (I still specifically warn for non-consent).
The rating that the author gave to the fic is next to the fic name. Both the G/PG/PG-13/R/NC-17 and the K/K+/T/M/MA rating systems are used, as well as individualized ratings given by the author in some cases.
I continually add to this rec list as I discover new fics. If you know of another good fic with a woman-led het relationship that isn't on this list, please message me! I can't promise that I'll add it to the list (because this is a personal rec list), but I'll be very happy to be introduced to the fic.

Poppycock by Slaymesoftly - NC-17 - Buffy/Spike
Warnings: Physical abuse
Another “Dead Things” fic written for an LJ community, it follows canon where it can and veers off where I need it to. A bit kinky (for me) and angsty, it has the obligatory Spuffy ending as well as a surprisingly accepting Xander.

The Sweet Spot by Rabid1st - NC-17 - Buffy/Spike
Spike and Buffy take some time to explore each other after the Dead Things' beating and the rocky reunion of OAFA. This fic started life as PWP and became something else entirely. It's all about motivation and convenience and what might have changed between Dead Things love scene and the one in As You Were. This fic is most definitely B/S but does include female slash of a slightly different bent.
Wiping the Slate Clean by ya_lublyu_tebya - R - Buffy/Spike
The reversal of the Tabula Rasa spell doesn't quite go according to plan and our favourite slayer and vampire are left memoryless. Just what difference will no memory of their past make in their relationship?
