lucymonsterNot sure who the fuck Minn-Erva is? That's fine, this post is for you anyway. Behold:

She's a bit player in the MCU, yes. She's technically dead, yes. But she's also bitchy and badass and blue, and we love her for it. You hardly even need to remember what she did in canon. The answer is: fuck all, but who cares? (If you want an actual answer, her wiki page is a very short read.)
Minn-Erva fandom is great for sharp-edged femslash, enemies-to-lovers tropes, wicked banter and a healthy dose of hot, rough smut. If that sounds like your bag, then settle in: here are my top ten favourite Minn-Erva-centric fics. They're ordered by ship type, not preference. Everything on here is a gem.
Carol Danvers/Minn-Erva
There's Mess byscioscribe
Right off the bat, here are those sharp edges I promised. Carol is back on Hala a year or so after the events of Captain Marvel, and Minn-Erva has a lot of complex feelings about it that she works through the old-fashioned way: with scorching hot, subtly xeno sex.
Hold Me Closer, Say You Love Me bythe_wavesinger
This is tagged 'hatesex turns gentle' and 'Minn-Erva vs Feelings', and that's exactly what it is. Carol takes Minn-Erva prisoner, they have dubiously consensual sex, and Minn-Erva takes it very hard when instead of hurting her, Carol treats her tenderly.
red is for a different kind of thirst bymadeinessos
This one is less explicit, but full of the crackling sexual tension and complicated not-quite-romance, not-quite-hate this ship is so good for. Directly post-canon, Carol finds Minn-Erva and demands answers about her past.
Other femslash
The Good of All Kree bysnickfic
Minn-Erva and Nebula meet while working with Ronan and Thanos. This fic has violent sexual chemistry in spades, woven through with immersive cosmic MCU worldbuilding and a well-earned happy ending after all the angst.
Bar Room Diplomacy byglassesofjustice
If the last rec whetted your appetite for Minn-Erva/Nebula, then here's a sweet, flirtatious drabble with bonus Valkyrie. The three of them meet on Sakaar, and Nebula persuades the other two to share her.
Take a Shot bysnickfic
And if that whetted your appetite, then here's a Valkyrie/Minn-Erva feast. After the destruction of Asgard and the fall of the Kree Empire, Minn-Erva takes a job as extra hired muscle on board the Statesman. The relationship evolves organically from no-strings sex to a deep, heart-healing connection between two of the MCU's most cynical disaster women.
If You Only Eat When You're Hungry byscioscribe
After the events of Captain Marvel, Minn-Erva finds herself stuck on earth and seeks grudging refuge with Maria Rambeau. The food porn is fantastic, the character voices are perfectly gritty, and the sex is capital-h Hot.
Het ships
born for society bysnickfic
Because the ony thing hotter than one bitchy blue badass is two bitchy blue badasses. Loki and Minn-Erva blunder their way into a meaningful relationship through what was meant to be a series of meaningless one-night stands.
Talk bylionessvalenti
Minn-Erva pisses in Loki's mouth. That's all you need to know to decide if this drabble is for you or not. But if it sounds good, I promise you, it really really is good.
Control bynunu52chu
I'm bending my Minn-Erva centric criterion a bit here, because this is really a fic about Yon-Rogg. But aside from being a perfectly dark and ugly character study, scene three where he and Minn-Erva hook up is so convincing that it's become a permanent entry on my ledger of Minn-Erva headcanons.
