Summary
"Do you know what your problem is?" Eloise asks.
"Several paid professionals have tried to answer that question."
"You're in love with Michaela."
Francesca nearly drops her wine glass.
"That's absurd."
"You learned Portuguese when she had to spend a month in Sao Paulo."
"I learned Portuguese for practical reasons."
"She's the practical reason."
Francesca Bridgerton is definitely not in love with her best friend. Unfortunately, the evidence would like a word.
(or the very slow friends-to-lovers modern AU in which everyone has already figured it out except the two women sharing lingering eye contact, emotional dependency, and an alarming commitment to calling it friendship)

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
“I think most omegas should be lucky to experience their alpha’s rut so early after being wed,” Michaela said, “so they know what they’re getting into.”
Francesca looked up at her. “And what do you think you’re getting into?”
Or: Francesca and Michaela are newlyweds who meet their first fork in the road when, just after tying the knot, Francesca's rut is upon them. They head into the country to wait it out... but will the mild-mannered alpha Michaela knows so well be the same alpha she has to help through their rut?

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?
--
Or, finding the courage to be yourself before it's too late.

Summary
Francesca has lived as a secret alpha for her entire adult life - using herbs to repress her alpha instincts. She'd thought she'd found safety and comfort in the arms of John Stirling, but his tragic death stole that away from her. To make matters worse, his cousin, Michaela, is an omega who makes her feel excited and scared for reasons she cannot explain. When Michaela is named the new Lady Kilmartin and announces her intention to return to London, Francesca flees back to her brother's home and sets herself onto the marriage mart.
But of course, masking as a beta will not be as easy for Francesca as it was the first time, and complications quickly arise when her Majesty threatens to select a more "refined" diamond for the season.

Five years.
Twenty matches.

Summary
“She thinks… she asked for me when she woke up so they called me. She thinks we’re still engaged.” And curse his tone too for being so sympathetic and emotional when he’s saying something that could come straight from one of Michaela’s nightmares.
“What?” Michaela scoffs. “You haven’t been engaged for-”
“Nearly two years.” He says too calmly, even as her own anxiety worsens. “She doesn’t remember that she broke it off because-” He swallows, still some pain to the statement even with his endless support. He probably loves her as much as Michaela does. He probably felt the same terrified panic that was still easing through her chest now.
“Because of me.” She whispers quietly… not a fact she had known at the time but one she was well aware of now after six months of being with her… they had just moved in together for crying out loud, what does he mean she doesn’t remember?
“She doesn’t remember that.” John’s tone is pained but quiet, gentle as he reaches out toward her, but she flinches away from his grip, her mind struggling to process the information he’s feeding her.
“She doesn’t remember… that she loves me?”

Summary
Michaela plucked a strawberry from the platter. It was deeply red and ripened to the point that was uncommon for fruit in early spring. She assessed it before she bit into it, turning it around in her fingers.
Francesca detected the white of her teeth as her mouth closed on the tip.
She took two bites. When she got to the heart of it, her lips enclosed around the remainder and she drew the last of it into her mouth slowly, sucking at its juices.
Then she looked up.
Francesca was still watching.
Their eyes met and held.

Summary
“Do not come.” Michaela tells her once again, her voice attractively low and hard, leaving no room for argument.
“I-” She feels her blush take over, spreading further, down her chest and to her ears. “What if I do?” She tries to challenge, though it gets lost somewhat in the slight breathiness of her tone, Michaela’s gentle kisses moving from the inside of one knee to the other.
“Then you will ruin my plans for you the rest of the night and we will not be able to do them. You do not want that do you?” Francesca shakes her head, her breathing becoming a fraction more erratic as she feels Michaela’s breath travel hotly against the inside of her thigh. “Then be a good girl and do not come.”

“You love hearing me speak, that’s why you argue with me so much.” Michaela said quietly, close enough that she could hear her over the music.
Francesca hummed, dazed. “You’re a narcissist. Whatever you’ve tried to convince yourself about me, erase it.”

Summary
“I’m sorry that I didn’t want abandonment to be the first thing that John’s son knew about you,” Francesca says irritably.
“Is it abandonment if I didn’t even know that John had a son?” Michaela wonders, draining half her wine in one go. Francesca has never been good at reading Michaela, but she doesn’t have to be to see that there is a decade's worth of deep-seated resentment simmering low. And she was never one to mince words, so her next accusation is entrenched in bitterness. “I can’t believe you never told me about him.”
Francesca's nose twitches. “Well, maybe you shouldn’t have left me before I had a chance to.”

Summary
“I do not know you.”
“Yet I should like to know you.”
Francesca finds that her eyes have already drifted back to her left, back towards Michaela.
“I—” She feels her cheeks paint pink, “Well you should—” She coughs. “Not.”
Michaela just smiles, nonplussed, “I fear your repellant disposition is having the opposite effect, Miss Bridgerton.”
Francesca cheeks redden even further as she rolls her eyes, looking away again, “I told you to—”
“Tell me then, Francesca..” Michaela purrs, turning towards Francesca and stepping closer. Francesca’s neck jerks right back to her at the sound of her voice. Her heels click once, twice. And she teases a small pout, a dangerous gesture indeed, “What mountains must I move to earn favor with you?”
Francesca’s eyes unconsciously fall to Michaela’s lips for a half-second.
And when she looks back up, Michaela's pout transforms into that same damned enigmatic smile.
Holding her gaze steady, seemingly unaffected, Francesca finally suggests,
“Perhaps you can start with Everest.”

Summary
Michaela, whilst grieving and overwhelmed with the feelings blossoming in her chest for her cousin's widow, does the only thing she can think to do when asked so sweetly to stay, she flees.
But now, after two years of running, she has returned to London, determined to make amends with the woman she has managed to convince herself she cannot fall in love with, under any circumstances.
Yet her chosen path is not an easy one, for Francesca Stirling, now seething with rage, grief, and a furious current of feelings she neither understands nor can explain, is just as determined to discover the very reason for Michaela's flight in the first place, a reason Michaela is intent on keeping to herself.
