    Summary

    When Francesca Bridgerton returns to Kilmartin House after the death of her husband and the child she never held, she expects the cold stone to greet her.

    She may get more than she bargained for.

    Lady Michaela Stirling now holds the Kilmartin title and the careful composure of a woman determined to deserve what she has inherited. But grief lingers in the halls and something unnamed stands between them— something older than John's death and sharper than mourning.

    In a house built on legacy, desire will either consume them or teach them how to burn without shame.

    Summary

    After a lifetime of chasing women in dark corners, of smiling slyly as they chased her, of allowing herself to be caught and then turning the tables until she was the victor, of caressing and kissing and making love to them behind their husbands’ back but never actually allowing her heart to become engaged, she took one look at Francesca Bridgerton and fell so fast and so hard into love it was a wonder she managed to remain standing.

    Unfortunately for Michaela, however, Francesca’s surname was to remain Bridgerton a mere thirty-six hours longer; the occasion of their meeting was, lamentably, a supper celebrating her imminent wedding to Michaela’s cousin.

    Now Francesca is free, but still she thinks of Michaela as nothing other than her dear friend and confidant. Michaela dares not speak of her love until one dangerous night, when she steps innocently into Francesca's arms, and passion proves stronger than even the most wicked of secrets...

    OR

    'When He Was Wicked' by Julia Quinn (Francesca's book) rewritten as CANON to the show. For those, like me, who wanted to read the book itself but with Michaela and Francesca as they are in the Netflix adaptation. All rights go to Julia Quinn and Shondaland.

    Summary

    They stay that way for a long time, Catra’s face tucked into Adora’s shoulder, Adora gently cradling Catra’s head. Adora is careful not to hug Catra too hard or make her feel restrained, anticipating the moment that Catra will start to pull away — but Catra doesn’t. She hangs on so tightly it hurts, her claws digging through Adora’s jacket and into her back, latching into her like she did when she was a kitten and didn’t know how much her claws could hurt. Adora tries not to wince, tries not to move a single muscle, worried that if she does the spell will break and Catra will struggle away, appalled at having shown weakness.

    But Catra doesn’t let go. And so neither does Adora.

    Summary

    “Why are you here?” Adora asks.

    Catra steps in close, gratified when Adora takes a shaky step back and then another, til her back is up against the wall of the gym. “Would you believe that I missed you?”

    --

    When Adora transfers from Horde Academy to Bright Moon Prep in their final year of high school, she and Catra pretty much stop talking. Until they don't.

    Summary

    Home economics. Gideon had, rather wrongfully, determined that this might be one of the few classes that might actually teach her something useful about the world. Taxes, resumes, the kind of boring things that might eventually carry her into that mythical realm of adulthood that her teachers were constantly on her case about. So far, she had learned how to gouge her finger up trying to sew a button onto a coat, and she had learned that if you fucked up really badly, a cute girl might band-aid it up for you.

    Home ec taught Gideon another vital life rule, just minutes later: life isn’t fair.

    Because Harrowhark Nonagesimus was holding a baby.

    __________________________________________________________________________

    In which Gideon Nav — high school junior, lady-killer, rugby star extraordinaire — finds herself raising a (creepy, possibly haunted) baby doll with her greatest enemy, Harrowhark Nonagesimus. Between trying not to fail the class, kill one another, or inflict lasting childhood trauma on a robot, the two might just end up closer than either of them had ever imagined.
