We post a word & picture prompt every weekend intended for use on the following Friday. The prompts are for Femslash Fridays to encourage new femslash content.
We also check the tag #Femslash Friday and will reblog any fanworks that mention using our prompts. Feel free to @ us so we see your creations. Using past prompts instead of the current week's one is fine too - the more femslash the better.
We now have an AO3 collection for the blog - the collection name is ‘femslash_friday_prompts’. You can post to the collection here.
For those who like more notice, the next 4 unposted prompts coming up are:
ON HIATUS until October
25th August - red paper with strip torn back/torn
1st September - concert with fireworks/sparks
8th September - navy satin fabric/sheen
15th September - model ship/bottle
We allow ships with transfem headcanoned and genderbent fem characters, but please see here for more info and about tags used for those.
Sorry for not getting prompts out on time lately. I think I need to take a break for a while, so I won't be posting prompts again until October. In the meantime, there's plenty of backlog of prompts and I will try to check in each week to reblog any submissions.

Prompt: @femslash-friday-prompts‘s September 24th, 2021 picture prompt of an eye
Fandom/Ship: Hanna-Barbera (Clue Club/The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan crossover); Dottie/Anne
A new edit set to hopefully get back into the groove of Femslash Friday. Dottie is out walking the dogs when she happens to run into Anne, and after a brief chat, quickly develops a crush on her.
The lyrics used here ("You passed me by one sunny day/Flashed those big brown eyes my way/And ooh I wanted you forever more") are from the song "Hello Mary Lou"; it was that middle line in particular that reminded me of the eye picture prompt. Due to the nature of the song I ended up going for a crush/hypothetical relationship instead of an established one, and I think I captured that well in the edits.
[ID: A shot pointing upward from the ground with a view of the underside of a group of lush green palm trees. Most of the shot is taken up by palm leaves but there are two brown trunks also visible at the top and bottom centre, with light blue sky peeking out between the leaves and trees. /END ID]

The car is barely visible in the shot, but the body of it is a shiny bright metallic blue. Out of focus in the background there is a dry grassy verge next to the grey road, with a strip of green high grass further out from the road. The fields in the background are light green/yellow and look dry too. /END ID]

It was nice seeing Grace come out of her shell and out of the shadow of Academia.
It was a huge task but Asuka was doing her best to lend a hand. Paying forward the kindness that Sakaki Yusho had shown her. He was still the one leading the charge to help everyone affected by both sides of the Interdimensional War spearheaded by Professor Ababa. He did, admittedly, spend more time with those of the former Fusion Dimension and soldiers of Academia because he thought they would be harder to rehabilitate than their victims. Something Asuka agreed with being a defector…
Still, it was great to see the student body of her beloved Academia start to come around against what they had been taught. The Hunting Game was becoming what it should always have remained: a fun game between friends with no hard losses.
And again, Grace was doing great in shedding the cruelties of Academia. All for Sajaki Yuya, Asuka supposed. Like Father, like son: both made an impact through their love of Duel Monsters. It was good to see him recover from his own hand in the War as well.
But going back to the Tyler Sisters, where Grace was flourishing, Gloria most certainly was not.
Grace had the motivation and innate good heart. She was socialising with XYZ decadent no problem, always with a smile on her face as she helped in soup kitchens or the infirmary. Gloria, meanwhile, was helping but her heart remained stalwart.
Asuka supposed it made sense. Despite being twins, the two were chalk and cheese in demeanour. Grace, as the younger twin, had always been the happy-go-lucky one with a smile on her face and without a care in the world. Gloria, meanwhile, had the exact air of sophistication expected of an older child. Even when the time between both girls was negligee at beat. She had always been the serious one with a no-nonsense policy that she only ever made an exception for when it came to Grace.
Then, there was the matter of their prowess at duelling. The two were lethal as a combination. Some of the best that Academia had ever seen, solo or as a pair, they dominated many a battlefield – er, duelling arena. As a result, they enjoyed quite a few privileges that the regular soldier student did not. Everything from fine dining to better clothes to having a unique deck. They were a part of Professor Akaba’s envied upper echelon and inner circle.
Asuka could understand if Gloria was unwilling to forgo the hierarchy in which she, and Grace, had been at the top of. It was likely a survival mechanism for her. She worked hard, she wanted to continue reaping those benefits that she had earned, quite literally, through blood, sweat, and tears. To have that reduced to nothing? For all the effort she had put into protecting herself, her sister, and her allegiances become meaningless in this strange new world in which all four dimensions were fused?
That had to be terrifying.
Grace could look after she leapt, and be fine for it since the other side was a much kinder world than the one she had come from but Gloria very much did not have that temperament.
Or at least that’s how Asuka understood it and she was choosing to be understanding in good faith. Asuka wasn’t totally oblivious, though her track record may very well imply that she was since she had been on Professor Akaba’s radar as a student who may have use beyond being one of his foot soldiers hence why she had never been put on duty as such. There had been rumours about just how close the Tyler Sisters were.
And these were not flattering rumours, either.
According to these sources that Asuka had happened upon here and there during her own Academia days, the closeness between Professor Akaba’s two top dogs (though, tigresses may be more for them) was illicit. Their touches, their caresses, all signs and symbols of something much deeper and darker than simple sisterly love. It wasn’t weird for sisters to share beds or meals but the way they did it, there was something uncomfortably flirtatious about it. More than just Big Sis doting on Little Sis…
Yes, according to these rumours, they were…
But that simply could not be the case, Asuka was certain.
She had always thought contrary to it. She thought that these talking mouths were being cruel and jealous because the pair made for good fodder as being tall poppies for the common students to cut down out of envy. There simply could be no way that they were a couple in transparent secret. It was too... wrong, too taboo, too transgressive. It clearly could not be because it was so defamatory, especially towards two girls in such an enviable position in the student body of Academia as the Tyler Sisters.
Finally, after all this time of these rancid rumours going around, Asuka had proof that they were untrue. Grace could not be in an illicit relationship with her sister if she was flirting with people who weren't her. Specifically, Asuka and Asuka was actually quite flattered by that.
Grace was quite a commendable young woman - and an attractive one at that. She was an excellent duellist with a heart of gold, she was taking to flight this next chapter of her life with joy. Asuka really, truly admired that about Grace and often found herself looking forward to the time she spent with Grace.
Not just that but Asuka wasn’t daft. She knew what sweaty palms and a racing heartbeat meant. Especially when it happened only and exclusively around Grace or thinking about Grace.
Moreover, this crush appeared reciprocated, if Asuka could be so bold as to presume. Grace did have a naturally flirtatious personality. She was just that kind of girl. Smiley, giggly, oh so effortless. No wonder Gloria had to be so protective of her since Grace didn’t seem like she was aware or an active participant in her flirting. It just happened naturally, with each curl of her hair falling out of place or how she batted her eyes.
Now that Asuka thought about it, no wonder those rumours got things so twisted. Grace’s affections were innocent, pure, even, it was just misread because she was that way with everyone. Her true feelings were never too far from platonic but Asuka was seeing the signs. Up front. She was certain that she was the exception.
Though, like with most things, Asuka thought direct clarification was best. It wasn;t necessary regarding those unsavoury and obviously untrue rumours but something like this, Asuka found her own courage. She wanted to confess her budding feelings to Grace. If there was something more, she would enjoy it tremendously but she knew when to be a gentlewoman if they were not requited.
So, Asuka picked out a day to meet up with Grace. (But of course Gloria came along). So that she could get her feelings out into the open and express herself. (With Gloria in earshot).
They really were tied at the hip, Asuka observed, not thinking much of it as there was plenty of opportunity for her to have some precious one on one time towards the end of their meet-up.
Looking ahead on the weather report, Asuka thought she picked out of a nice, sunny day for her to meet up with Grace (and also Gloria) but not so much. She had been hoping for clear skies of azure, a soft breeze but it turned out much, much cloudier than any of them had been expecting. Gloomy. The waters of the sea which surrounded Academia, being slowly restored to its former identity as a lackadaisical school, were still and slate-coloured. Asuka didn’t want to call it foreboding but it got darker and darker as the afternoon wore on until she decided it was finally time to ask.
As a trio, two and a third-wheel and Asuka hated to say the latter applied to her, they’d done all the usually girly things. They chatted, they gossiped, they did some homework here and there as well as got as much as their toes wet in the ocean, their shoes and socks high and dry on the sands but they were all getting a little bit tired.
So, Asuka tried to split Grace and Gloria. She asked Gloria to give them a little bit of space and Asuka could see in Grace’s eyes, how they pricked confused, that seemed a little out of the ordinary but it was ultimately allowed. Gloria hung back whilst Asuka took Grace a little further down the beach, where the breeze blew and the tide lapped at just to the side of them as they walked.
They chatted some more but as though struggling with separation anxiety, Grace had them circle back closer to where Gloria was. Asuka didn’t mind too much but she really had wanted some privacy… She just hoped that Gloria couldn’t overhear, so she spoke low just in case.
“I’ve been wondering this for a while…” Asuka mused. “But do you like me?”
“Huh? Oh, um…” Grace replied. “It's complicated.”
She glanced over her shoulder and made eye contact with her sister who had been sitting in the dunes. Bored, her eyes sharp. Just that was enough to prompt her to get up, dust herself off and shake sand loose from her clothes.
“You don’t owe me an explanation if you don’t want…” Asuka tried to console her but she felt her heartbeat spike in a way it never had before.
She didn’t like it. It felt more like fear than being lovestruck. Asuka had gotten used to the latter. The butterflies in her stomach, the feeling of risk but it was romantic for lack of a better word. This was far blunter. Far heavier. She didn’t like it.
“It's not that, I do like you, but there’s someone I like more…” Grace confessed.
Asuka blinked, “There is? Who?”
Grace fidgeted again. She looked over her shoulder and like an apparition, Gloria was there. She was protective, her eyes fierce and her demeanour possessive. She laced her arms over Grace’s slender shoulders to embrace her from behind. Gloria held Grace close and Grace blushed. She smiled this adorable, tiny smile.
“Me.” Gloria said.
Her assertion took Asuka aback faster than she could feel sick over it. That feeling in the pit of Asuka’s stomach warped. She couldn’t believe her ears. So the rumours were true after all.
“I do like you, Asuka, but I love my sister, you know?” Grace nervously elaborated but it didn’t help much.
Asuka could taste bile at the back of her throat and something else, too, as she watched Gloria oh so possessively kiss the side of Grace’s face. She blushed. Asuka’s discomfort continued to warm her, though now between the legs - and she couldn’t believe such a reaction, that reviled her, too.
“I’m not one for sharing my cute, little sister,” Gloria mused, “but people talk. Even to us, about us. I’m sure you're aware.”
“I am.” Asuka confirmed.
“So, you have use to me.” Gloria said, she jutted out her chin slightly, and her face turned very shadowed as clouds overhead moved to darken the sky above them all but exactly.
“I see.” Asuka mumbled. “You want to use me as a smokescreen to better hide your, ahem, affiliations with Grace.”
“Exactly.” Gloria replied, her tone was brisk yet proud. She was shameless, it should have revolted Asuka and yet, she found herself strangely intrigued as she was drawn into the twisted blood between the twins.
“We’re a matching set. You can’t have one without the other.” Grace said. Diplomatic. Placating both Asuka and Gloria, Asuka realised.
“I can’t help myself,” Gloria lamented as she caressed Grace’s face with one hand, and allowed the other to snake down the side of her body to hold her closer, “it's no wonder people have become aware of just how deep the bond Grace and I have goes.” Watching her touch Grace, Asuka got the impression that Gloria would really like to be fondling her right now.
“I can’t help myself either, Older Sister.” Grace giggled, she sounded utterly cherubic.
“You must understand, too, Asuka? To be infatuated also with my dear Grace?” Gloria prompted her, her eyes flicking up to meet Asuka’s.
“Right.” Asuka replied. Her voice stilted and dry.
“So? What say you?” Gloria asked.
They were two halves of a whole. Gold and silver. Attack and defence. There were legends which stated that twins were lovers reincarnated, perhaps it wasn’t all that unnatural for them to carry on that love. Asuka swallowed a lump in her throat and before she could reply, there was a spate of thunder. Bang, crash. The ordinance drowned her out as she replied to Grace and Gloria what exactly she would say to that.
