When She Was Wicked by orphan_account

Summary
In every life there is a turning point. A moment so tremendous, so sharp and breathtaking, that one knows one's life will never be the same. For Michaela Stirling, London's most infamous rake, that moment came the first time she laid eyes on Francesca Bridgerton.
After a lifetime of chasing women, of smiling slyly as they chased her, of allowing herself to be caught but never permitting her heart to become engaged, she took one look at Francesca Bridgerton and fell so fast and hard into love it was a wonder she managed to remain standing. Unfortunately for Michaela, however, Francesca's surname was to remain Bridgerton for only a mere thirty-six hours longer—the occasion of their meeting was, lamentably, a supper celebrating her imminent wedding to her cousin.
But that was then... Now Michaela is the earl and Francesca is free, but still she thinks of her as nothing other than her dear friend and confidant. Michaela dares not speak to her of her love... until one dangerous night, when she steps innocently into her arms, and passion proves stronger than even the most wicked of secrets...

Summary
She still loved Carol, after the unjoining. She loved her in exactly the same way. Her feelings hadn't changed from one moment to the next, from when she was joined to when she was unjoined. Why would they? She was still the same person.
The problem wasn't that Zosia didn't love Carol. The problem was that Carol didn't love Zosia. She didn't know Zosia. She had neither fallen in love with the Zosia of before nor the Zosia of afterward, she had fallen in love with the Zosia of during. She had fallen in love with them. And Zosia wasn’t them anymore.

Summary
Carol froze, silently deciding her next move. She could break free now, go indignantly mope in the house for a few hours while Helen got blitzed, or she could listen to the birdbrained woman in their hot tub, who was quite frankly almost always right when it came to matters of her temperament.

Summary
Carol Sturka is the forty-seventh President of the United States, and the most convincing thing about her presidency might be her marriage to Julian Vane, which is warm and genuine and entirely platonic. Helen Umstead, who serves as her Press Secretary, is the woman who sees through all of it, and who Carol cannot stop noticing in ways that have absolutely nothing to do with press strategy. After a Republican senator starts questioning the true nature of the marriage and an emergency in the Arctic forces the administration into intense scrutiny, Carol or Helen learn that the White House contains no space more hazardous than any room that leaves the two of them alone.

Summary
Enemies to lovers detective AU.
All you need to know is that Detective Carol Sturka is a little sad, a little sarcastic, and a little horny.
And Lieutenant Zosia Nowak is rude and hot.
+
“Carol Sturka,” Zosia says with a tone of familiarity that takes Carol aback. Their hands are still firmly connected. “We finally meet.”
Carol quirks one eyebrow up and the warmth of Zosia’s hand lingers on her own as their hands separate. She cannot possibly fathom what Zosia means by that.
“Finally?”
“I’ve heard about you. Your reputation crosses state lines.”

Summary
The radiance of the sun’s rays that had awakened her as her body had been resting messily on the left side of Carol’s bed couldn’t compare to the radiance of watching Carol now – right there before her – writing with avid concentration and such beautiful, unwavering focus.
That particular light was brighter than morning itself.
And this precise moment was the perfect opportunity to make Carol understand even a small fraction of the happiness that awaited her in the Joining. Zosia was determined to do everything within her power to make her happy. They would try – truly and thoroughly – to show her what that future could hold.
(or to simply put: a glimpse of Carol and Zosia’s first night and first morning together after their kiss.)

Summary
“Trust?” Zosia forced a humorless laugh. “That’s a pretty tall order. I don’t know anything about you.”
The woman considered this. She nodded, though it seemed mostly to herself.
“Okay, uh, what do you want to know?”
“To start, your name,” Zosia said. “And then maybe, I don’t know, why you’re here, what you do, a fun fact about yourself, things like that.”
The woman gave her an incredulous look.
“You wanna do fucking icebreakers right now?”
OR
Zosia gets unplurbed, and Carol has to be the guide through this insanity that she wishes she had while trapped in a one bedroom apartment and being probably madly in love with her.

Summary
Rio stared at her quietly, slowly tapping her foot against the tiled floor. A wrinkle formed between her eyebrows from thinking about Agatha's predicament, and the lawyer sighed, waving her hand dismissively.
"Stop trying to find a solution to this. It will give you a stroke."
"Marry me," Agatha was glad she had finished her drink because she would spill it all over the bar at the words. She blinked to regain her composure, her mind scrambling for a teasing remark to fire back at Rio, but her tongue could only form one word.
"What?"
"I'm not a stranger from Craigslist, and I know probably most psychopaths would say that, but I'm not a psychopath. So, marry me."
---
Agatha learns about a clause in her mother's will that makes her unable to inherit Evanora's fortune unless she gets married by forty. While drowning her sorrows at a bar, she meets Rio, a PhD student working behind the bar to make ends meet, who proposes an insane solution to her problem. Or rather, proposes to Agatha.
Everything spirals out of control after that.- Language:

Summary
“Did it sound like we were describing you?” Zosia asks, seeming genuinely curious about Carol’s response.
The question hits Carol harder than she’d been expecting, and her throat goes tight as she looks away and murmurs a lie, “No.”
She shifts on the couch, suddenly hyper aware of how close they’re sitting. She doesn’t remember them moving at all. She’s almost certain they were farther apart a minute ago. But now, Zosia’s knee is lightly pressing against her thigh, warmth passing between their bodies through the contact. Maybe she’d moved after filling her glass, or maybe Zosia had scooted closer when she wasn’t paying attention. She isn’t too sure of anything anymore.

Summary
Moiraine had always seen the Great Serpent mark between her breasts as a curse – a symbol of inevitability chaining her to a soulmate she never asked for. It tore her from Siuan, the only woman she’d truly loved, binding her to a fate spun by the Wheel, not by choice. Seeking escape, she devoted herself to the Dragon Reborn – a mission she had chosen – convincing herself her soulmate was either dead or would never appear.
She was wrong.
Her soulmate wasn’t dead. She was Lanfear, Daughter of the Night. The mark Moiraine hated hadn’t just cursed her – it had led her straight to her nemesis.
Meanwhile, Lanfear, fixated on the resemblance between her own mark and the Dragon’s, convinced herself she was destined to be with him – pursuing a connection that was ultimately empty. What she never foresaw was that the unmistakable spark of a true soulmate bond wouldn’t come from the Dragon at all, but in the moment she was nearly decapitated by Moiraine Damodred, one of his advisors… And her actual soulmate.
