Summary
The balcony is empty. The air is thick with summer heat.
Michaela steps closer than she should. Francesca's legs part, almost reflexively, for her husband’s cousin. Michaela slips between them and rests her hands on Francesca's thighs.
She leans in. Francesca can smell the limoncello on her breath. Her nose brushes Francesca's cheek.
"Tell me it's killing you like it's killing me," Michaela whispers against her skin.
Francesca trembles. Her need pulses in her chest, her stomach, lower still.
"Please, Fran."
"We can't."
"I know. I know."
-OR-
Francesca Stirling is a high-powered Manhattan attorney on her eighth round of IVF. Her husband's cousin, Michaela, arrives for the summer and immediately upends Francesca's routines. When her husband leaves for a work trip to London, Francesca is forced to reckon with the woman she has spent years refusing to look at — and with the question of whether she can finally become herself without breaking the man who loves her.

Summary
“You’ve never bedded a woman before?” Michaela gasped.
“There was never any need.”
“Need?!” Michaela laughed again, thoroughly entertained by John’s misery, “Loving a woman cannot be reduced to just a need, darling. I could say the same about myself, that there was ‘never any need’, obviously, and yet…”
“I am well aware, Michaela,” John grumbled, “We used to share a wall. And I have given you your own wing in the castle as I hoped to be made less aware.”—
Everything John knew about women, he learnt from Michaela. It should come as no surprise, then, that he would choose to marry the woman of her dreams. Missing moments from Season 3 and 4, detailing all the ways guilt layers.

Summary
When Esme Platt accepts the position of art teacher at Forks High School, she expects it to be temporary- a place to lick her wounds, figure out what she wants from the rest of her life, and leave her previous life behind. She certainly doesn't expect to fall in love, and she definitely doesn't expect to find the beginning of the rest of her life in the sleepy little Washington town she's decided to call home.
A Twilight rewrite through the lens of human!Esme.

Summary
Darcy was in in love with Elizabeth Bennet – when he had fallen exactly, he did not know. But he loved her even if she would never return his affection. How could she after the way he had treated her? Still everyday he endeavoured to change his behaviour, to be a man that she could have cared for.
Seeing her at Pemberley, it was a chance to repair some of the damage he had caused. And it seemed to be working. Until Wickham intruded again.
What if the interaction between Darcy and Elizabeth at the inn in Lambton had ended differently? What if they were brave enough to speak openly? What would change?
