Honestly very honoured to be a part of this list! Thank you so much for including me š
āļøFem!Queen Fic Rec List āļø
I have promised you all I would gather some of my favorite genderbent Queen stories, and give a good shout-out to some really amazing writers! Important disclaimer: I've read way more than what's on the list, but it's simply impossible to collect everything - I was trying to get those that really spoke to me for some reason. I might have this post as an ongoing thing, and whenever I find something new that tickles my pickle, I will keep adding to the list. So, here we go!
Nectar & Ambrosia by rogersgreenhair (i don't know if they have a tumblr or not). Holy shit y'all. This is some excellent fem!Froger smut. One of the best f/f smut I've ever read in general. The sexual tension, and then the actual sex scene is off the charts. I'm still shook.
Incomplete Loves by @borealis-strange. This fic was posted only recently, and it's looking out to be quite intriguing. Your delicious high school AU with rivalry and possibly a mystery. I'm sold.
Mercury-Hutton King AU by @joefanelli. One of the first fem!queen fics ever posted, and what was a huge inspiration for me. It's such a lovely take on fem!Jimercury - truly golden.
Calling All Ladies by @nightoftheland. Another one that inspired me greatly! Incredibly hot smut, each chapter a different pairing- but all of them absolutely delicious. Gets extra points for the realistic descriptions of f/f sex!
The Millionaire's Dinner sadly orphaned- I know who wrote it, but since they clearly don't want to be associated with this anymore, I won't tag them. Mind the warnings on this one- it's a deliciously kinky story, with Maylor as the main couple.
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Impossible n'est past Francais (Impossible Isn't French), Muggle Magic and Rhiannon by @emmaandorlando. Can you tell I really love her genderbent fics š so, GPB is based on the Marilyn Monroe movie of the same title, and I'm already hooked as hell. The banter in this is top-tier, starring Froger. INPF is a very gripping Domtay Halloween fic- mind the warnings on it, it is quite shocking. MM is poly smut played out at Hogwarts. Do I need to say more? And finally, Rhiannon is just the perfect fem!Maylor fic, with pining neighbors!
Knock, Knock and Two Princesses by @freesiafields. KK is a mouth-watering fem!Frian dressing room sex ficlet (which was gifted to me! ā¤ļø), and TP is the cutest little Jimercury story with lovely fairytale themes!
so tell me (why my gods look like you), i saw mommy kissing santa claus and angel of small death by @iamnotbrianmay. STM reads more like a poem rather than a fic, it's a gorgeous introspection with immortal Brianna in the focus. ISMKSC is that flirty/fluffy Breaky Christmas ficlet we all need (I mean Brianna in christmas themed lingerie??) AoSD is a Froger soulmate AU- incredible angst material for those who like hurting as much as I do.
my heart is where you are and Merry Christmas by @queensilveryrog. MHIWYA is a cute Maylor fic- all your needs for cuddly content satisfied. MC is the sweetest Deacury Christmas fic- I smile just thinking about it!
It's Not What I'm Used To by @living-on-my-own-fm. Written for Froger week, this beautiful story features vulnerable Freddie and protective Regina - extra points for the references to femme exclusion, and the shitty expectations of being a gold star lesbian! Really hits hard.
There'll Never Be No Other Love Like Yours For Me by @xsheerheartattackx. Such a heartwarming Halloween themed Breaky fic, with witches and curses and the power of love.
tastes like strawberries on a summer evening by @peachydeacon. Outdoor sex with Breaky - did I get you hooked yet? The mix of tooth-rotting fluff and delicious smut in this is simply awesome. Mind blown.
Two Souls In Love by @pumpkinlilyao3. The cutest getting together story starring Froger - mutual pining, second guessing, and then a beautiful happy ending, just the way I like it. This is the first instance of me reading a somewhat tomboyish Regina, and you know what? I'm digging it.
Entangled by @eileen-crys. A sweet Johnica story with electrician Joan (very hot concept, right?) and adorably clumsy Veronica. Also, fun friendship moments on the side!
Safe And Sound another sadly orphaned story. It was looking out really amazing, the set up is an eventual poly!queen Hunger Games AU, and the characterization was soooooo good!
London Is Calling (Let Music lead you to the love) by @sammyspreadyourwings. An incredible series containing gripping little ficlets about a burlesque AU, with some incredible smut scenes and flying dialogue.
If The Sun Is Shining, Stand In It and I love you (I'm glad I exist) by @johndykeon. ITSISSIT is a domestic as hell fic about Breaky and their thousand children (i aspire to live like this), and ILY is such tender smut and fluff, never had been the act of sharing an orange with your girl so intimate.
Bring On The Love by SweetIllusions (i don't know if they have a tumblr or not). The perfect fic for Christmas, complete with sweet poly and breaking down over finding the perfect gifts.
hijack my heart; and green light by @sweetestsight. HMH contains sexy gangster ladies in suits robbing banks and girls supporting girls, with some enemies to lovers hints sprinkled in. Chef's kiss. GL has hippies and weed and hitchhiking and incredible poly smut - i mean what else do you need?
Back To The Light by @valesweetdreams. Another lovely gift for me (ā¤ļø), this is a wonderful retelling of Smile turning to Queen- through the lense of a beautiful Maylor coming of age/love story.
What A Princess Wants by @katetheduck-writes. A super cute Froger ficlet with Royalty AU and ditching princes for Princesses and gorgeous weddings!
Of Course (Revisited) by @rhohemian-bapsody. This is the absolute perfect description of what it feels like to be on your period and having a girlfriend who you greatly love but get incredibly pissed off by. A cute Froger story.
I Got You Babe and Lady May by @mother-mercury44. IGYB is Froger meeting at a festival- girls supporting girls and smoking weed and getting rid of asshole dudes to have amazing sex in a tent instead. I approve, i really do. LM is breaky childhood lovers, playing house until they can actually be together. Aww.
My Baby Does Me another orphaned fic š¢ it's Froger being super domestic, equal amounts fluffy and smutty. Just all in all a very feel good fic.
The way you touch by Anonymous. It's just Frian PWP, but my god, what an incredibly good one!! Really, if you want nothing but fantastic smut, click on this link.
Something Special by @sirenlovesqueen. Fem!Frian being super cute domestic girlfriends, cuddling and writing a song together.
You really are the greatest (plumber) in town by specialsnowflake (i don't know if they have a tumblr or not). My very first gift, and based on my own story as well!! ā¤ļø They really nailed the girls from KYA I must say!!
I should have worshipped her sooner by @anotherhystericalqueen. A cute Maylor soulmate AU, complete with waking up with initials and not knowing who they belong to. Incredible.
Chapter 3 and 5 of Find Me Somebody To Love Jimercury Week Collection by @anironsidh. You should read the whole thing because it's amazing really, but these two chapters are fem!queen. Chapter 3 is a blind date au, and chapter 5 is fake dating. Both are incredible.
Like I'm not Somebody's Daughter by @vinylerafemslash. Read the tags on this one- it's a heartbreaking, but gorgeous story about healing. It features all the girls and even fem!Elton, and it's just all kinds of awesome.

Top underrated fics
So in an effort to not be a miserable arsehole this year (itās been a fucking car crash into a nuclear reactor into an orphanage into a kitten of a year as it is), Iāve been trying to compile some of the underrated fics for the queen fandom to give them some love.
The idea sort of came from the post thatās been flying around about the death of the fandom, and yada yada yada all the film fans have fucked off and all that shite. Thereās still a shit tonne of content being created every bloody day, and if you look under the queen (band) thingy on A03, thereās about 7000+ stories.
Iāve filtered it down to 4000 ish, for the sake of my sanity, and Iāve only compiled fics that are within the band (with a few minor exceptions), they had to be in English (not necessarily perfect), avoiding too many recent fics (theyād naturally have a low count so it was parked at pre December 2020), and I started from the last page (using hits, comments and kudos as the denominators).
Iām not going to rate all of them, just a top ten, so the fics will appear in random orders within their ship category with the authors mentioned if I can find them (those that havenāt been found are in bold, but if you know who it is tell me and Iāll change it).
I really hope you all go out and read these, they really do deserve some love (go give them kudos and comments), and if youāve been writing fics and arenāt mentioned donāt worry, feel free to add any links to other stories!
So without further ado, and thereās been fucking plenty in that rambling hellhole of an intro, the categories:
