Well written masterpiece, literally so fucken good. The yearning, the chemistry, the banter. "Michaela, on your knees" I about had a heart attack and died. 10s across the board. Absolutely beautiful fic😩🔥 The corridor at 2 A.m, the morning after, the night before, truly what an experience reading this!!!

The proposal being one of my fav movies of all time so of course I was absolutely obsessed with this fic. Had its own little twist and I loved that. (Spoilers) Gut wrenching angst of course but very beautifully written. I was anxious half the time cause Miranda was feeling guilty about forcing Andy into the engagement not knowing Andy was fully with the shit. Of course Miranda admitting that she forced Andy to marry her in exchange for professional gain in front of her whole family was a hard read. Painful asf. The fluff?? Good asf the whole drive to Ohio was absolutely adorable, Andy's relationship with the twins, the trip to the theme park, Andy feeling sick so Miranda stays behind with her while the twins go on rides. Them cuddling while at camp, them being idiots in love and being too scared to admit but also low key flirting. Oh Andy saving Miranda from drowning. Mira opening up to Andy, their first kiss was adorable but their first time smut was hot asf. Top Andy calling Miranda baby and she was HUNGRY, Mira stood no chance. This was really a good read.

Summary
University AU where Francesca 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 Francesca finds herself, suddenly, hopelessly curious about another woman in ways that are utterly nonsensical.
Now Francesca 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.

Doesn't love make us all a little crazy though? Or is that just Francesca?

Just to remind myself of how insanely well written, funny, and just about everything I look for in fics (Fluff, heart wrenching angst, good asf banter, jealousy, possessiveness& hot asf smut), I found in this masterpiece. (Spoilers for myself) Francesca needed therapy and possibly jail😭
This lady stalked Micki, got all her information on Ig and not just any info, her favorite food, places she frequents, her entire schedule and routine, stalked her by following her around, stalked everyone who liked, commented or followed Micki. Was way too curious about the people in her life for someone she'd just met and wasn't even dating.
-Deleted and blocked a girls number from Micki's phone and because that wasn't enough later found said girl in the bathroom and submerged her phone in water because apparently she could still reach Micki if she was desperate enough and Fran couldn't have that😭
-Traveled 40 minutes to a bar because she saw Micki on IG kissing someone else then proceeded to "trip" and spill beer on the poor ol girl.
-Had a heart to heart with Micki where she expressed she had an ex who hurt her by having had a boyfriend whom she didn't want to leave and would still use and keep Micki as a side piece (something she was also doing that Micki wasn't aware of btw) went through Micki's phone even emails to find that girls name to then proceed to find her on Ig (by guessing user names) and almost texted her to cuss her out😭
-Followed Micki to a bar where she had run into the ex and proceeded to follow said ex to the bathroom where she heard her talk shit about Micki and beat the shit out of her, which ended with her almost bleeding out in front of micki (hand injury) and being hospitalized.
-Made out with Micki in the bathroom of the Stirling family house where they were celebrating her ENGAGEMENT to Micki's COUSIN and confessing her undying love.My hands are tired of typing. Basically Francesca being bat shit crazy about Michaela and micki folding under no pressure at all because well Fran laid down pipe and well at least she was crazy bout her right?? RIGHT!!!! Immediate masterpiece and must re-read.

Summary
Lady Andrea Charleston Amelia Sachs, heir to the Dukedom of Westminster had the world at her feet and lovers at her beck and call, but something was missing. With every touch, every kiss, every smile, something was always missing.
Miranda despised the arrogant aristocrat, it was hate at first sight, but maybe, just maybe, they didn't need to be friends to help each other. A means to an end. Yes, that was all she was.
Sometimes fear isn't the only thing that stops us.

(Spoilers)
Plot on this went crazy. Very heavy plot. Absolutely loved royal badass protective Andy. Enemies to lovers Mirandy?? I lived for them. Mira, Emily and Nige being friends? Hell yeah. Andy, Cristi and Serena were an awesome duo too. Dating friend groups, I loved it. From Andy saving the twins from being Kidnapped I had no idea what to expect, from then her and Miranda going off at each other at every turn (Are they gonna fight or fuck) sexual tension galore. Andy having her own kids, blended family, family vacation, they basically moved in together before they started dating omg, crazy plot (the amount of attempted murders in this was crazy, hospital visits and what not). Good old fashioned Miranda thinking Andy doesn't love her(she's crazy of course) Miranda almost leaving Andy and taking the girls, Andy fighting her wanting to say u can't take my kids but choosing to instead say Miranda can do what she wants? Heart wrenching (I wanted to kill Nadia but also Miranda because fucken Andrew? Bffr Mira) . So much happened in this but it truly was a beautiful fic and I'm so glad I gave it a chance. Really beautiful!!! -

“This is the third time this week I’ve watched you go pale,” she said coldly.
Her eyes moved over Andy.
Down - slowly - then back up.
Andy searched her expression, still impossible to read.
“I’m just tired.”A story of two people who, without realizing it, begin to matter to each other in ways neither of them intended.
Someone who builds walls.
And someone who stays anyway.- Language:

I don't even know where to start with this masterpiece man. Low key kinda forgot this was a freaking slow burn with all the fluff we got after the first bits. (Spoilers) But from the first chapter it was easy to get lost and forget it was a slow burn because you could tell their connection was brewing. From Andy first collapsing and going to hospital, Miranda being there for her from jump, paying her hospital bills, making her work life easier for her so Andy didn't strain herself, Miranda opening up to Andy and being an absolute softie only when it came to Andy and her girls. Andy's first meeting with the girls (getting along and telling them stories, Miranda's little "don't corrupt my children), including Andy in the family vacation?? The fight before the first kiss, their first time (The smut in this shit was freaking hot asf omg) from start to finish this was absolutely fantastic and very well written. I adored this.
