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
“Oh my god,” Michaela said, snapping Francesca from er daze. “Are you staring at me right now?” A smug look covered Michaelas face as she raised her brows
Francesca’s eyes snapped upward instantly. “No.”
“You literally are.” Michaela shot back immediately enjoying every minute of catching Francesca during the act of checking her out.
“I-I literally am not.” She muttered back. She wanted to kick herself for this. It was no use to defend herself seeing as she WAS in fact checking Michaela out.
“Oh this is incredible,” Michaela continued with a grin. “You hate me and still wanna fuck me. That must be really hard for you emotionally.”

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
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
University AU where Francesa 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 Francesa finds herself, suddenly, hopelessly curious about another woman in ways that are utterly nonsensical.
Now Francesa 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?

Summary
Part 2 of The Shape of Wanting series. Sequel to Before We Were Brave.
Modern AU Franchaela, with characterisation kept close to canon. All of the Bridgertons will make an appearance.
Francesca Bridgerton thought Spain was over. She thought Michaela Stirling belonged to the holiday: to sunlit streets, late-night bars, warm skin, dangerous smiles, and the kind of wanting Francesca had never quite known what to do with before.
Then her dog gets hurt, and the vet who walks through the clinic door is Michaela.
They find each other again in London, but the reunion is far from simple. Francesca has questions she never asked. Michaela has grief she never explained. Between them sit missed messages, wrong assumptions, and all the things they were not brave enough to say before goodbye.
Spain was supposed to be temporary.
This was not.

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
"Congratulations," Francesca said. Only she could hear the slight edge beneath it, the anger that had been simmering for ten years finally finding its way to the surface.
"Thank you." Michaela's voice was quieter, softer, almost uncertain.
Francesca extended the award. The crystal was cold and heavy, the engraved plaque catching the light. For a moment they both held it—Francesca's hands on one side, Michaela's reaching for the other. Their fingers brushed. It was the barest contact—the pad of Michaela's thumb grazing Francesca's knuckles as she took hold of the trophy. But the sensation was electric, a shock that traveled up Francesca's arm and exploded somewhere in her heart. Heat and ice at the same time. Recognition. Memory. The ghost of every time they'd touched before.
Ten years ago, Francesca Bridgerton lost the girl she loved. Michaela abandoned her.
Ten years ago, Michaela Stirling lost the girl she loved. She was taken away from Francesca.
Now they’re co‑stars in the most anticipated movie of the year, pretending they don’t remember how it felt to lose each other.
