A while back I set about deliberately to cultivate an interest in femslash fanfic. I had read some here and there over the years, and I don’t know, I just couldn’t get into the dynamics or tropes or something they just seemed off. After meeting someone that read femslash exclusively, I availed myself of the opportunity to ask for recommendations. They read Swan Queen, and while I did enjoy the stories it still wasn’t going to become an OTP so I started looking around again on my own. Enter Cartinelli. I would have to say that this was my first real femslash OTP, and I feel like it was the perfect gate way pairing for someone who preferred slash pairings. I adore Peggy Carter and she fits neatly into the pattern of competent badass that I had enjoyed before even if she does it was a hell of a lot more pretty. Angie Martinelli fits the mantle of support character with emotional savvy and a sunny disposition, all things that I’d gone in for before. I just like the feel and the energy of them, though I found myself disappointed when Angie wasn’t included in the second season and then the show's cancellation. But what is fanfic for if not to pick up where canon leaves us wanting more.

 

Icons! Yes, I’ve made more. Ugh, Peggy is so gorgeous! *fans self*
