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)

Michaela and Francesca's love story :,)
Featuring a mix of canon/author-created moments, a ton of angst, and all the Brigdy siblings.
Excerpt from Chapter 8: The Shadows Obscure
That’s not ice cream,” Francesca replies with a small giggle. She feels oddly flattered that Michaela remembered the random details.
“It’s close enough,” Michaela says with a smile, as she scoops up a strawberry and some custard and brings the spoon to her mouth.
Francesca watches intensely as Michaela’s tongue peeks out and swipes custard from her bottom lip. Her tongue is pink, wet. It’s mesmerising in its skilful movement. Francesca stands upright uncomfortably.
It’s late, Francesca thinks. She should go to bed.
She’s staring, Michaela thinks. Why is she staring?

"You’re a tense one, aren't you?" Michaela murmured, her voice dropping into a velvet purr.
Francesca didn't answer. She couldn't. She was paralyzed by the sudden, suffocating intensity of the air between them.
Michaela dropped her gaze to Francesca’s mouth, then back up. Then she rose onto her tiptoes and stepped closer. Her lips were only a few centimeters from Francesca’s ear.
"I was afraid we wouldn’t be convincing with only twenty-four hours of preparation. But I have a feeling," she whispered, her thumb brushing against Francesca’s collarbone, "that we won't have any trouble at all. You have a very... interesting way of looking at me agent Falcon"
