With Arms Outstretched by smallcouncilnotes
Fandoms: Game of Thrones (TV), A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin

Summary
The tower stones leached her heat, and the wind took the rest. Fear, which she had sworn she did not know, began to knock under her ribs. Not the fear of falling, she had already dismissed that, but the fear of being seen, the fear of returning to the world and finding it unchanged.
or
Ready to jump and end it all, Cersei Lannister instead ends up caught in an unexpected pair of arms. One small moment of kindness changes the course of her life and the capacity of her heart forever.
(Pure OOC, non-canon, plotless fluff-in-a-vacuum. Basically the cheesy movie montage set to the sappiest song imaginable. Enjoy, fellow sapphics.)

Summary
She had seen a woman squat, holding her sister’s arms and bring a child into the world in three pushes. She had watched another on her hands and knees, cursing like a sellsword, who laughed when the babe slid free. Not all births ended well, she was not naive, but she had learned one thing: a woman’s body did not want to be pinned and flattened like an insect.

Summary
Cersei looked up at the sky, which went on and on, and let the tiniest smile break at one corner of her mouth. The line between her brows ironed itself away. The water held her like a promise she had never been given and had taught herself never to expect.

we have lingered in the chambers of the sea by marketchippie

Summary
The sea carries stories wherever it touches. They say on the Iron Islands some women mate with squids and bear tentacled children; they say the peasants of Riverrun bear scales beneath their smallclothes if you care to look; they say in Lannisport that there are women in the waves with seafoam tits and sea-singing voices, that ships dash themselves against rocks for their beauty, and looking at Cersei submerging, anyone would believe the myths.

Summary
"Apparently it is her intention to attract attention to-day, to make conquests, and she succeeds completely. She is the lioness of the Cascine. People nod to her from carriages; on the footpath people gather in groups to discuss her. She pays no attention to anyone." (Product of reading Venus in Furs and thinking about Cersei Lannister. TOTAL VICTORIAN PULP SHAMELESSNESS.)

Gold Dust Queen by lighttofthewest

Summary
In the rotting heart of King’s Landing, Queen Cersei is drowning. Haunted by prophecies of a younger, more beautiful queen and her own nightmares, she is backed into a corner. Margaery Tyrell is imprisoned, but Cersei knows a cage won't stop a rose from blooming. She needs a weapon that can strike from the shadows of the Great Sept without leaving a trace of Lannister gold behind.
At Cersei’s darkest hour, Qyburn calls in his greatest debt. He summons a phantom from the North: Bethella, the bastard daughter of Roose Bolton. Once a pawn for her father, Bethella fled the life of a Lady to become something "other." She is to arrive to the capital and do what the Queen cannot: infiltrate the High Sparrow’s sanctum and erase Margaery from existence.
But in a city built on betrayal, even the best laid plans crumble. And now, as the Queen faces immediate, visceral danger, she is left with only one ally. Not a knight or a brother, but the girl who refused to be a person.
