Summary
It begins, as most things do, rather innocuously. With a phone call.
A phone call that shocks Francesca from her deep sleep, blinking confused and discombobulated in the dark.
She registers her phone ringing on her nightstand with a jolt, and crawls out of the warm nest of blankets, flinging an arm over and answering without even glancing at the caller ID. Her voice is hoarse, brimming over with sleep as she clears her throat and mutters, “Hello?”
“Frannie,” Michaela breathes on the other end.
All of a sudden Francesca’s wide awake.
Or: Michaela’s apartment floods. She moves in with Francesca until it gets fixed. And that should’ve been fine, right? But Francesca’s used to her simple, quiet routine -– bookstore job, piano on the weekends -– and, well, there’s nothing less routine, less controllable, than Michaela. Except maybe the feelings Michaela stirs up within her.

Summary
When pianist Francesca Bridgerton decides to attend a pool party with her siblings, she expects an evening of noise, social exhaustion, and an early escape back to her piano.
What she doesn't expect is Michaela Stirling.
Confident, magnetic, and impossible to ignore, Michaela turns Francesca's carefully ordered world upside down in a single night. By morning, a viral photo of the pair has sparked endless speculation online, thrusting both women into unwanted attention.
For Michaela, the rumors arrive at the worst possible time. Or maybe the best? With her public image under scrutiny after they dropped her from the label, she needs a solution—and fast. Bingo. A fake relationship.
For Francesca, who would rather spend her days practicing piano than pretending to be someone's girlfriend, the arrangement seems ridiculous. Until Michaela offers something she can't ignore: an opportunity to perform on a stage that could launch her career.
After a few public appearances and social media posts. Francesca begins to realize how real this felt. Between career ambitions and the growing attraction, they must decide whether their relationship is just another performance. Or something real.Bookmarked by Jram10

Summary
When she turns her head back towards the door, searching for the girl from the internet, she’s met with the sight of a breath-taking woman. Her hair is thick, yet straightened, curling around the tops of her shoulders. Even better, she wears a translucent lilac blouse that compliments her brown skin so beautifully. Francesca is certain this is who she was waiting for, but she waits for the confirmation.
or,
Francesca Bridgerton finds equilibrium where she least expects it.

Summary
"The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself..." - The Picture of Dorian Gray.
Limits are set when it comes to pleasure, and Michaela has no problem with that. Her work allows her to fully indulge her two passions: design and physical contact, casual sex, without expectations of continuity or establishing an emotional or romantic bond.
If the opportunity presents itself, she takes it; if the desire is mutual, she will do her part. But after a quick encounter with her cousin's new wife (who ends up being the hostess of her next big project), she'll realize that, in reality, fighting against her own needs is much harder than giving in to them.

Summary
University AU where Francesca is supposed to be in a perfectly loving relationship with her boyfriend, John, with a sensible future of marriage and children on the horizon, right up until John's cousin, Michaela Stirling, returns from a sabbatical abroad and Francesca finds herself, suddenly, hopelessly curious about another woman in ways that are utterly nonsensical.
Now Francesca finds herself unable to stay away and trying very hard not to think about why telling Michaela she and John are dating feels like it would ruin everything. Surely keeping that little detail about her relationship status cannot be seen as lying if Michaela never asked. Right?
--
Or, finding the courage to be yourself before it's too late.

Or, doesn't love make us all a little crazy? Or is that just Francesca?

Summary
“Excuse me,” said a voice beside her. “I was wondering if you could help me. There’s something wrong with my phone.”
(...) Francesca blinked. “Sorry?”
The woman held up her phone with a solemnity that fooled no one. “Terrible malfunction.”
Francesca, still a step behind whatever was happening here, said, “Do you need to ring someone?”
“That’s the issue,” the woman said. “It doesn’t have your number in it.”A modern AU Franchaela story in which Francesca Bridgerton goes to Spain for two weeks with her sister Eloise and their friend Sophie, fully intending to recover from heartbreak quietly and in peace.
Instead, she meets Michaela Stirling.
What begins as sun, flirtation, and something that looks like a holiday distraction slowly becomes harder to define, and even harder to ignore. In a place that feels far from home, Francesca finds herself drawn to a woman who makes wanting feel easy, and honesty feel like something neither of them quite knows how to do.
And when the holiday ends, neither of them is brave enough to say what happens next.Series

Summary
“And you must be?”
The corner of Michaela’s mouth quirked again as she clearly waited for something. It took far too long for Francesca to realize that Michaela was waiting on her. Francesca felt her mouth open, but no words came out. The question was a simple one, but the answer to it was not.
Who was she?
She was so many things, so many people, all wrapped up in one. And she’d never be able to share the full truth. Not with anyone. Not even her family.
Michaela clearly found her inability to speak amusing. The quirk of lips transformed into a smile, and something hot and syrupy and wonderful zipped through Francesca at a speed she was only capable of in flight, with clouds between her knees and endless skies in front of her.
“I- I’m, uh- Francesca. Francesca Zor-”
Anthony cleared his throat hastily and glared at Francesca out of the corner of his eye.
Rao, she’d almost said her real name.
“-Bridgerton. Francesca Bridgerton is my name,” Francesca finished, letting out an awkward, tittering laugh.

Summary
Francesca always thought the love her parents and siblings found was rare. It was love at first sight, fast, passionate, and a frenzy of feelings. Her mother always told her the best loves started when they began as friends, only for both parties to then feel more. That was not a love Francesca had ever felt, but some love stories take longer to present themselves than others.
Season 3 and Beyond of Franchaela's love story: A lot of drama, angst, and romance, sprinkle of humor, and heaps of smut with a happy ending.
