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?
--
Or, finding the courage to be yourself before it's too late.

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.Bookmarked by Lorelorexv9

Summary
Michaela Stirling returns from four years in India to find the life she fled exactly where she left it, John's ghost in every corridor, and Francesca at the top of the stairs.
She had told herself the distance had taught her restraint. That she could stand in the same room as Francesca Bridgerton and call herself only a friend. That four years and an ocean were enough to make loving someone bearable.
She had been wrong on all counts.
Or
michaela and francesca spend several chapters inventing new ways to avoid admitting the obvious.

Summary
Almost three years after the death of her husband, Francesca is officially out of her mourning period and ready for the next phase of her life.
However, despite the urging of her mother, she is in no hurry to return to Mayfair. Instead, she wishes to remain in Scotland with her dear friend Michaela, the newly minted Countess of Kilmartin, and run the estate together, as John would have wished.
But she cannot fathom why, on occasions, she is drawn to Michaela for reasons she cannot quite name. Why sometimes there is a strange intensity between them, a tension that she doesn’t share with anyone else.
or; Falling in love with your best friend, even if you don't quite know it yet.

Summary
“The first time I saw you," Michaela says, "I thought you were the strong-minded sister of my cousin’s new wife.” She smiles then, small and sad. “Somehow you ended up more than that. You ended up being you.”
“You say that like it is something special,” Francesca says, voice small.
Michaela holds her gaze. “It is to me.”
or, 5 times Michaela leaves Francesca + 1 time she comes back (aka scenes from scotland + a s5 reunion)
