    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

    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

    “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.
