    Summary

    “Oh my god,” Michaela said, snapping Francesca from er daze. “Are you staring at me right now?” A smug look covered Michaelas face as she raised her brows

    Francesca’s eyes snapped upward instantly. “No.”

    “You literally are.” Michaela shot back immediately enjoying every minute of catching Francesca during the act of checking her out.

    “I-I literally am not.” She muttered back. She wanted to kick herself for this. It was no use to defend herself seeing as she WAS in fact checking Michaela out.

    “Oh this is incredible,” Michaela continued with a grin. “You hate me and still wanna fuck me. That must be really hard for you emotionally.”

    Summary

    It begins, as most things do, rather innocuously. With a phone call.

    A phone call that shocks Francesca from her deep sleep, blinking confused and discombobulated in the dark.

    She registers her phone ringing on her nightstand with a jolt, and crawls out of the warm nest of blankets, flinging an arm over and answering without even glancing at the caller ID. Her voice is hoarse, brimming over with sleep as she clears her throat and mutters, “Hello?”

    “Frannie,” Michaela breathes on the other end.

    All of a sudden Francesca’s wide awake.

     

    Or: Michaela’s apartment floods. She moves in with Francesca until it gets fixed. And that should’ve been fine, right? But Francesca’s used to her simple, quiet routine -– bookstore job, piano on the weekends -– and, well, there’s nothing less routine, less controllable, than Michaela. Except maybe the feelings Michaela stirs up within her.

    Summary

    Michaela Stirling wakes up in 2026 with no explanation, in a London flat she shares with Francesca Bridgerton. Their flat. Their life. And a mug in the cupboard that says more than she knows how to.
    She spends two months learning to survive a century she doesn't understand, alone, until a hospital calls to say that Francesca needs to be picked up.
    Now they must navigate a world that has already decided they belong together, while one of them is only beginning to understand what that might mean.

    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?
