Summary

Summary
Francesca has lived as a secret alpha for her entire adult life - using herbs to repress her alpha instincts. She'd thought she'd found safety and comfort in the arms of John Stirling, but his tragic death stole that away from her. To make matters worse, his cousin, Michaela, is an omega who makes her feel excited and scared for reasons she cannot explain. When Michaela is named the new Lady Kilmartin and announces her intention to return to London, Francesca flees back to her brother's home and sets herself onto the marriage mart.
But of course, masking as a beta will not be as easy for Francesca as it was the first time, and complications quickly arise when her Majesty threatens to select a more "refined" diamond for the season.
Title & Vibes loosely inspired by "DON'T YOU SEE ME TRYING" by Erin LeCount

Summary
"Do you know what your problem is?" Eloise asks.
"Several paid professionals have tried to answer that question."
"You're in love with Michaela."
Francesca nearly drops her wine glass.
"That's absurd."
"You learned Portuguese when she had to spend a month in Sao Paulo."
"I learned Portuguese for practical reasons."
"She's the practical reason."
Francesca Bridgerton is definitely not in love with her best friend. Unfortunately, the evidence would like a word.
(or the very slow friends-to-lovers modern AU in which everyone has already figured it out except the two women sharing lingering eye contact, emotional dependency, and an alarming commitment to calling it friendship)

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
The balcony is empty. The air is thick with summer heat.
Michaela steps closer than she should. Francesca's legs part, almost reflexively, for her husband’s cousin. Michaela slips between them and rests her hands on Francesca's thighs.
She leans in. Francesca can smell the limoncello on her breath. Her nose brushes Francesca's cheek.
"Tell me it's killing you like it's killing me," Michaela whispers against her skin.
Francesca trembles. Her need pulses in her chest, her stomach, lower still.
"Please, Fran."
"We can't."
"I know. I know."
-OR-
Francesca Stirling is a high-powered Manhattan attorney on her eighth round of IVF. Her husband's cousin, Michaela, arrives for the summer and immediately upends Francesca's routines. When her husband leaves for a work trip to London, Francesca is forced to reckon with the woman she has spent years refusing to look at — and with the question of whether she can finally become herself without breaking the man who loves her.

Summary
Michaela and Francesca's love story :,)
Featuring a mix of canon/author-created moments, a ton of angst, and all the Brigdy siblings.
Excerpt from Chapter 9: The Past SeeksMichaela reads of Francesca’s disappearance in the latest edition of Lady Whistledown.
...While Dowager Lady Kilmartin made quite the scene racing up the grand staircase at Lady Danbury's ball, the entire truth is even more sensational. Lady Kilmartin did not just flee the Ball of Shadows, but London itself. She left that very night for her primary estate in the Scottish highlands, leaving behind not only a stunned family but also an imminent proposal. Perhaps, this season proved too much too soon for the young widow...

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
Francesca character analysis type of story
“Why did you leave me?”
Francesca had long thought of confronting Michaela about it. She had imagined countless scenarios of the fight that would make her scream louder than she had ever allowed her voice to go.
They all contained explosive fights, venomous words, and undying bitterness. A fire she had fed with ire and resentment, at last unleashed.
They were nothing like what she had enabled just now. Her nose was red, and cold. Her boots were wet. Her heart burned with the desire to understand. For a resolution. To be good enough to know Michaela, to be worthy enough to speak the language of her perfectly guarded heart, and even more impassable mind.
or
Francesca is sent away to Scotland to cure her melancholia.

Summary
In a world where a cosmic force governs romantic connections through traditional soulmates, one in ten citizens experience an unlikely connection with their soulmate—an age-old punishment stemming from past humans who refused to accept this universal will. The symptoms of facing an unlikely connection include all sorts of physical ailments that can be managed with inhibitors, but which, in the long run, can become unbearable.
Francesca and Michaela collide (literally) in a coffee shop, and the symptoms are excruciating. Luckily for both of them, The Bond Disconnection Program has everything necessary to undo their bond and make each forget the other's existence. Just one month, with cutting-edge technology, specialized treatments, and a success rate of nearly 95%, but one small question lingers: Is any scientist investigating that remaining 5%?

Summary
“The end‑of‑year Showcase is in three weeks,” Danbury said.
“Sponsors, donors, alumni, critics. This year’s theme is Music as Theatre.” Michaela perked up. Francesca did not.
“You will perform a duo,” She added. “Together.” Silence.
Michaela blinked. “A duo? With her?”
Francesca’s voice was quieter but no less startled. “With her?”
“Yes,” Danbury snapped. “With each other. Do try not to look so horrified.”
Pianist Francesca Bridgerton × Violinist Michaela Stirling
They’re the Royal Academy of Music’s two brightest soloists who’ve never spoken. They have three weeks to create something that will turn out to be much more than music.Bookmarked by L07Ravenclaw

Summary
Fran and Michaela are happily married!
This is what I imagine life would be like post their season 5 happy ending, kind of following after how I intend to end my slow-burn fic, "The Only Exception".
As much as I'm excited for the tension, jealousy, and angst; I'm really excited to see them be soft with one another.
Really healthy mixture of married fluff, family dynamics, and spicy scenes.

Summary
“...Good knights are seen, and not heard.”
It’s such an absurd statement that Michaela barked out an indignant laugh, hand coming up to rest on her chest. She thinks she preens under her gaze, seemingly proud that she was able to make her laugh with such a sentence.
However, hearing her speak for the first time, Michaela thinks she understood, now, why she was silent for such a long time. She took a careful step forward, bringing her hand up to her metal visor. “May I?” Michaela asked gently, “I just want to see something.”
The knight cleared her throat, “Do I have a choice?”
“Of course you do,” Michaela answered, pulling her hand back a fraction. “You can say no and I will move on. I was just curious.”
She heard the knight swallow harshly, the metal of her armor squeaking when she nodded her head after a terse moment. “Okay,” She said, voice quiet. “You may, Your Highness.”
////
Or, There's a new knight in the Queen's Guard, and Michaela is determined to get to know them.

Summary
“The first time I saw you," Michaela says, "I thought you were the strong-minded sister of my cousin’s new wife.” She smiles then, small and sad. “Somehow you ended up more than that. You ended up being you.”
“You say that like it is something special,” Francesca says, voice small.
Michaela holds her gaze. “It is to me.”
or, 5 times Michaela leaves Francesca + 1 time she comes back (aka scenes from scotland + a s5 reunion)
