Fics with prominent female characters.
I've noticed that fandom spaces tend to ignore female characters entirely. This can make it really hard to find good female characters!
Sooo i've made this collection, to help you find something new to read. Check the bookmarks, they have handwritten notes+ tags for length and content!

SUBJECT: Regarding Senate Guard Objectives For Today
This is a polite reminder to all guardsmen that patrol schedules for the Senate vote ratifying dictatorships are posted in the breakroom. I am also issuing a warning to linear time that days should follow sequentially and are not intended to repeat. Please cease repeating. I am getting a headache.
Additionally, I'd like to remind all guardsmen that it is illegal to harbor invisible women in the Senate. If you see a ghost claiming to be Leia Organa, please remove her from the premises. She will be making a scene.
Thank you for your cooperation in preserving the peace of the Republic, and all hail the Empire.

Summary
One month after Marc Spector crawled inside an Egyptian temple and Jake Lockley walked out, Jake tracks down Layla El-Faouly and offers to help her take revenge and avenge her father. Jake is sure this is how flirting works. Pretty sure.
It's easy to fall in love with a badass protector of the night. It's a little harder to fall in love with Jake Lockley, your everyday assassin. And there's no way Layla El-Faouly could ever fall in love with Marc and Steven. There's no way they will ever meet.
Three acts on the subject of heartbreak.

“I want you to have the things you want,” Jake said helplessly. It was the only words he could think of, or maybe the only words he knew how to say. “I don’t want you to want something and never have it.”

Summary
Bodies are dropping in Gotham--children, brain dead and tortured, numbered and tagged like cattle. The Bats are on the case, but with little to no physical evidence left behind, they’re faced with more questions than answers. But when a mysterious metahuman involves herself in the case, the investigation turns in a new, disturbing direction--and it turns out she might need their help just as much as they need hers.
OR
“Has anyone else noticed that the cooling-off period between Bruce’s dubiously-legal child acquisitions seems to be getting exponentially shorter?”

Bookmarker's Notes
A great case fic/ mystery with even greater character voice and POV, plus an eVEN GREATER female oc. Well-written, paced, and plotted. Great Cass POV as well!
It's pretty dang dark at times, but the author puts trigger warnings in the top notes so you can skip around the graphic bits.
Reads like swimming in a lake at night, the water dark and endless, the cicadas chirping steadily in the background. something is touching your foot.
