“Oh.” Amy’s face lights up. “I’m doing a beta read for a Swan Queen Once Upon a Time femslash piece for an exchange. It’s PWP but the characterizations are very accurate and the stylistic flow is even hotter than the sex.
“I have no idea what half the words you just said mean, but Once Upon a Time?” Penny replies, frowning. “Is that the show with the hot pirate dude and the evil queen with the great cleavage? I love that show.”
“You should read this then.”

“Wow.”
“Like it?”
“I didn’t know people wrote things like this.”
“It’s called femslash, it’s an art form.” Amy replies. "No, a science."
"But, I can see it. Regina would totally pin Emma against a wall."

“Do you think that if we were on a TV show, people would write about me with a woman.”
“Yes.” Amy replies, as she pushes a sheet of paper marked RPF under the rest.
