Summary
Michaela and Francesca's love story :,)
Featuring a mix of canon/author-created moments, a fuck ton of angst, and all the Brigdy siblings.
(Yes, I made them play Pall Mall)Excerpt from Chapter 7: The Game Escalates
Deep orange beams of sunlight flow through the carriage, lighting particles in the air and streaking across their faces. As Michaela looks out the window, Francesca once again studies her. The way her chin curves and slopes down into her neck, her collarbone peaking out from her dress and the way her skin practically glows in this light.
Francesca grips the seat beneath her, wondering if this is what true friendship is meant to feel like. If it’s normal to be so taken by a friend.

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
How could something feel so natural and so unforgivable at once?
That was the thing Francesca could not reconcile. Not the wickedness of it, which society would have named readily enough if society had known. Not even the betrayal, though that cut its own deep wound. But the ease of it. The instinct. The terrible, unsought understanding of how one woman could want another and be answered without translation. She had thought, once, that desire had a shape. A prescribed form. A body it belonged to.
Michaela Stirling had shown her, in a single evening, how wrong she had been.
-----
Inspired by When He Was Wicked, this version rewrites the original story through Michaela Stirling, transforming it into a romance shaped by secrecy, grief, friendship, and a love even harder won.
