what published books have women wrestling/catfights in them? i know they're out there, and that there aren't really any that center of catfighting, but anyone know particulars?
only a handful come to mind for me, and they're mostly just references
In the series Dresden Files, there's Dresden's gothy teenage pupil and his centuries-old lover (who was bodyswapped by a villain into a young Asian woman). When the lover enters his house unexpeced, the pupil doesn't recognize her, panics, and magically blinds her. She uses that to blindside her and pummel her into the ground until Dresden comes home and finds the scene.
Lover: "You hit me!"
Pupil: "You startled me! What was I supposed to do!?"
Lover: "I just mean you hit like a girl. Weren't you taught combat training?"
Pupil: "I've been busy. And besides, you were the one down on her ass."
Lover: "Of course. You've got 40 pounds on me."
Pupil: "Oh, that's it!"
ends there, though.
the other is in the Discworld book "Thud!" There is a vampire and a werewolf on the city guard, both shapeshifters who don't keep their clothes while they change. they both go after a criminal in these underground tunnels on their own, traveling through mud before changing back to humans. they run into eachother nude, the werewolf ready to throw down when the vampire stops her.
"This is all well and good, but do you realize what's missing here? An audience. We're naked and hip-deep in mud! I'm telling you, we would make a bloody fortune."
of course she just explains why she's there and they get along with it
any other examples?
