Summary
Michaela sells flowers for apologies and confessions.
Francesca doesn’t seem interested in either as she helps make people's decisions feel permanent.
When a tattoo parlor expansion brings them together, what starts as business quickly turns into something harder to define. Something that is measured in glances, half-finished conversations, and tension that refuses to stay subtle.
Somewhere in the middle of it all, Michaela realizes this isn’t just another order while Francesca realizes that this isn't just another sketch she can ink onto skin.

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
Francesca Bridgerton is not cold.
She is precise, particular, and has spent six weeks at Oxford arranging her life around exactly what she needs.
That is not the same thing.
And anyway, it isn't personal.

Michaela Stirling has heard that before.
xxxx
Francesca Bridgerton does not do disruption. Michaela Stirling does not do apology. The Oxford accommodation office does not do refunds.

Francesca, of course, is very normal about this.

Summary
Michaela was wearing the red dress. The same one from that night, clinging to every curve exactly the way Francesca remembered. Francesca's entire body went rigid. She couldn't do anything but remember the way it had felt under her palms.
The freeze lasted seconds, but it was enough. Michaela's expression shifted. "So you do remember."
She tried to deny it but her voice wouldn't work.
Michaela pushed off the counter. "I wasn't sure. At the apartment viewing, you looked at me like you didn't know me at all. So I thought maybe you had forgotten."
"I—I don't know what you're—"
"Don't. Don't do that. You just froze the second you saw me in this." Michaela gestured to the dress.
She wanted to flee back to her room like she'd fled that bathroom a year ago. "We were drunk. It doesn't—" Francesca said desperately.
"Doesn't matter? I think it does, Francesca. Otherwise you wouldn't have spent the past week avoiding looking at me."
"I have a boyfriend, I'm with John."
"I know. Believe me, I know."
OR: The Cheating College Fic. (Fran is dating John except she kissed Michaela one year ago. She was drunk, plus she's straight so it doesn't count right?)
