Fandom: My fair lady
Character/Pairing: Mrs. Higgins, Eliza Doolittle,
Word Count: 1705
Summary: "Eliza enjoys tea (and maybe raspberry tarts) with Higgins' mother."
Why I Rec This Fic: Enjoyable fluffy female friendship and Eliza who has her own life and is not just an object for men.

"I take it," said Mrs Higgins, after a sip of tea, "you have managed another week of life in Henry's house without actually murdering him?"
"My restraint is formidable," said Eliza calmly. She took another sandwich. "It helps that he has been reasonably well-behaved. I am thinking of taking art classes. It occurred to me that I would rather paint flowers than sell them."
"Have you had any experience in water-colours?"
"Not a whit. I may have no talent at all. I won't know till I try. I have a strong belief," said Eliza, in the firm tone of someone who has never had this thought before, "that a person can learn anything."

Title: A Mother's Work is Never Done by Myrtle
Fandom: My fair lady
Character/Pairing: Mrs. Higgins, Henry Higgins, Eliza Doolittle, Colonel Pickering
Word Count: 4998
Summary: “Mrs. Higgins and Henry, through the years.“
Why I Rec This Fic: Found family feels! Female characters being awesome! No Henry Higgins/Eliza Dolittle romance (this was why i clicked at it and i got what i wanted)

Eliza is directing Freddy in clearing the dishes, which will no doubt only create more work for poor Mrs. Pearce, but no matter - Eliza has never quite gotten used to having servants, and it gives her pleasure to order her husband about. Mrs. Higgins and Pickering are at the piano, where he is attempting to recreate some melody from his youth in his rather weak singing voice, much to her amusement. Henry, of course, is hunched over some charts of American dialects or some such, utterly ignoring their fun.
