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.

Summary
"You’re a tense one, aren't you?" Michaela murmured, her voice dropping into a velvet purr.
Francesca didn't answer. She couldn't. She was paralyzed by the sudden, suffocating intensity of the air between them.
Michaela dropped her gaze to Francesca’s mouth, then back up. Then she rose onto her tiptoes and stepped closer. Her lips were only a few centimeters from Francesca’s ear.
"I was afraid we wouldn’t be convincing with only twenty-four hours of preparation. But I have a feeling," she whispered, her thumb brushing against Francesca’s collarbone, "that we won't have any trouble at all. You have a very... interesting way of looking at me agent Falcon"

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
“Francesca doesn’t want to speak,” Eloise had said with all the exasperation a six year old can muster.
“Doesn’t want to?”
“Nope,” Eloise scooped another spoonful of pees.
“But she can?” Anthony asked looking at Fran, who peered up at him with big, wide eyes.
She nodded once.
“You do not wish to speak,” Anthony clarified. “But you are okay?”
She nodded once again.
“Ah,” Anthony pondered.

Summary
17th September 2017
Today we made a pact. If we’re both single and like… not attached to anyone or anything whatsoever by the day Michaela turns 27, we’ll marry each other. We came up with that when we were discussing how special it is that I’m turning 17 on today’s date (in the calendar! obviously Michaela and I wouldn’t ever actually date!!). Today was really nice though, it felt like fate, like it was written in the stars.
That reminds me, she got me a moon necklace, a perfect white-gold-plated one, not the crescent moon shape that’s everywhere, but a full moon which (YES) is basically a circle. HOWEVER, this one has bright streaks on it resembling actual crater rays. Michaela said it was a memory to the day we met.Will Francesca and Michaela honour the promise when the time comes, once there’s nearly a decade separating them from before? Could they forget every word of the past? Would they even still be friends then?

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.”

Every Island, Even the Ones Made Out Of Love by Vickstrr

Summary
Francesca Bridgerton believes that the missing puzzle piece of her perfectly established life is the element of love. She find herself cast on the hit reality tv show, Love Island, where she presumes that her pursuit of love would be fun and most of all, easy. What she does not expect, however, is to fall almost instantly for Michaela Stirling, diverting from the norm she had planned for the rest of her life and discovering about herself in ways she had not even considered.
Meanwhile, Michaela Stirling already knows who she is, a woman attracted to other women. She had planned a easy summer with the easiest possible chance at £100,000 just by sticking to some man and dumping him the second the show would end. In need for the money, Michaela is forced to practice self-control under the eyes of the public in order to not let her true nature show in lieu of the temptation that the extremely attractive though somewhat awkward Francesca Bridgerton imposes upon her.
It should be a very long summer for the both of them.

Summary
“Is it so unthinkable of a suggestion? Am I that off-putting, that horrible that you cannot even imagine pretending to date me?"
"No, Fran. It's not that. It's—" Michaela stopped, shaking her head and sighing. "You deserve more than that. More than what I'm looking to offer."
"I want nothing more!" Francesca spoke too emphatically, drawing attention to herself. "It's seamless. It solves both of our problems. You get a steady, unobjectionable partner and in turn, the estate. I get a reprieve from my family's haranguing, as they'll see I'm happily coupled. Nobody needs to know that our partnership is platonic masquerading as something more."
OR
Michaela can’t inherit the Stirling Estate unless she reforms her womanizing ways and Francesca can’t get her family to cease their incessant badgering about her finding true love. Realizing they both stand to gain from a relationship, they start up a fake one. Inconveniently for their plan, they’re already in love.

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.
