If you want to push it back even further Margaret Cavendish, the duchess of Newcastle (1623-1673) wrote The Blazing World in 1666, about a young woman who discovers a Utopian world that can only be accessed via the North Pole - oft credited as one of the first scifi novels
Women have always been at the forefront of literature, the first novel (what we would consider a novel in modern terms) was written by a woman (Lady Muraskai’s the Tale of Genji in the early 1000s) take your snide “Isaac Asimov” reblogs and stick it
even in terms of male scifi authors, asimov was predated by Jules Verne, HG Wells, George Orwell, you could have even cited Poe or Jonathan Swift has a case but Asimov?
PbbBFFTTBBBTBTTBBTBTTT so desperate to discredit the idea of Mary Shelly as the mother of modern science fiction you didn’t even do a frickin google search For Shame
Kinda funny, considering this Isaac Asimov quote on the subject:
Mary Shelley was the first to make use of a new finding of science which she advanced further to a logical extreme, and it is that which makes Frankenstein the first true science fiction story.
You know what else was invented by women? Masked vigilantes, the precursor to the modern superhero. Baroness Emma Orczy wrote The Scarlet Pimpernel in 1905. The character would later inspire better known masked vigilantes such as Zorro and Batman.
the first extended prose piece - ie a novel, was not, as many male scholars will shout, Don Quixote (1605) but The Tale of Genji (1008) written by a woman

What if Vampire! Emily came across a slightly younger, seemingly innocent Pastor's Daughter! Reader who, as soon as they get to know each other, gets obsessed with her and offers herself to her. And one time, while they're fucking, she basically begs Emily to drink her blood and, as much as Emily tries to hold back because she doesn't want to "taint" her, by the third time she asks she can't stop herself from biting her. And so, despite Emily trying to make her change her mind, R becomes the one Emily always feeds off of

lucy n tim with department psychologist!reader who came in right after everyone found out what blair london had been doing to every cop in the department. you're introduced to everyone after and take on the cases that blair left behind, acquainting yourself with the team.
lucy n tim, who do under the table stakeouts after they meet department psychologist!reader, not because they find themselves inexplicably drawn to you, of course not, just to make sure that you're not someone who's gonna fuck them over again after everything.
lucy n tim, who watch you in your apartment, memorizing your schedules, routines, and daily habits.
lucy, who stalks your socials, looks at every page you follows on instagram and cliptalk, and 'accidentally' keeps liking all of your old posts.
tim, who memorizes each and every routine of yours, changing his patrol streets to the ones that match up with your yoga class; your favorite cafes and bookstores around the city.
lucy, who memorizes your files front and back after getting every bit of information she could get her hands on from skip tracer randy; trying to find an in somehow to engage in conversation with you.
tim, who also memorizes reader's background check, bringing up any slight infraction you've ever made to your face just to rile you up, because the pants of his patrol uniform just get way too fucking tight when he sees the fire in her eyes as she defends herself.
lucy, who starts asking you little questions, saying she just wants to get closer to you, that she just has the back of any girl in the department! she says nothing is tmi, and thats enough for you to start spilling dirty little secrets about yourself; kinks, bra size, fantasies, you even come out to her, going as far as to show her new pieces of clothes you've tried on, even the lingerie, as she listens to you intently and looks at the hot little number you have on in the picture, biting her lips and pressing her legs together.
lucy n tim, realizing that they're actually obsessed with department psychologist!reader mid-fuck; moaning your name into each other's mouths as they cum.
completely clueless you, just thinking lucy chen is the kindest person you've ever met, and that tim bradford just likes getting under your skin to keep his walls up.
tim, who keeps challenging your authority, mouthing off on you, but you see a little glimmer of something in his eye....is he...enjoying this?
lucy, who keeps scolding him, trying to convince him that thats not the way to win you over, but he knows that you know. he felt you realize that its a game to him. that he wants you to be mean, wants you to show him your backbone, wants to see your bratty mouth blabbing about him to lucy. to him, he practically handed you the ball, he just wants a reason, an opportunity, permission from you to take it back and put you in your place.
lucy, who finds every excuse to brush your hair away from your face, compliment you in any way possible, caress your body under the guise of 'oh im really sorry, but your outfit is so cute i just wanted to fix it up for you', invites you to her apartment for movie marathons, dinners, or simply just coffee; and you dont see a problem right? i mean, shes really kind, and nice, and hot, and her voice just does something inexplicable to you that makes you want to keep her talking, every word feels like a reward when she sounds like honey drips from every syllable- the main point is, shes not a patient, meaning, fraternizing with her is a-okay!
tim, who's somehow always at those dinners and movie marathons until you pluck up the courage to ask lucy why he's always around, and thats when it starts feeling like ice cold water was just poured all over you because you've been thirsting over the most antagonizing dickhead's girlfriend, and said antagonizing dickhead also has such kissable lips, and the sexiest pair of arms you've seen on a man, and you think that if he never stops mouthing off to you, you can just sit on his face until he physically lifts you off and gets you under him- okay, so, you might be thirsting over a whole ass couple, that you're currently in an enclosed space with...not great for you.
you feel like they can see how red you've gotten after they revealed the fact that they're dating; clearing your throat and schooling your expression to simply nod and smile at them, apologizing for your (idiotic, selfish, dirty, promiscuous, whorish-) mistake. lucy just smiles at you and squeezes your thigh (you're almost tempted to physically lift her hand higher), while tim simply stares you down, as he does, and you awkwardly smile at him, then quickly turn back to the movie you hadn't even been paying attention to.
lucy n tim, who look at each other knowingly, deciding that next time lucy brings you over, theyre gonna have a serious conversation with you about their mutual interest in you.
a/n: ive literally never written my own before but someone had to write this i couldnt just daydream forever okay? this is written at precisely 1:46 am after a long ass day and i got the idea exactly after my last cigarette of the night. so, idk tell me if you like it or wtv
