    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 know, I really don’t understand what your problem is with me. There’s two forward starting positions, so why are you acting like you need me dead to keep your spot? No, really,” Samira presses, eyes wild with anger as Emery shakes her head and starts to turn away. “What the fuck is your problem? Please enlighten me.” 

    You are my problem, if you must know,” Emery snarls, wheeling on her. “You think you can just waltz in here with your fancy new contract and expect everyone to love you. Well, guess what, Samira? I’m not everyone else. I can’t stand you.”

    Samira's goal since she was a little girl has always been to play for the USWNT, and transferring to Pittsburgh just might get her there. As a seasoned veteran, Emery's determined to regain her captaincy this season after an ACL tear almost ended her legendary career.

    The only problem is they both want the same starting position.

    Summary

    “Well, hello, little bird,” the woman coos, bringing her other hand up to tug at a loose curl that has escaped from Samira’s bun. “What are you doing out of your cage? I thought you were told not to play with me,” she asks coyly, tilting her head. Any breath Samira had left leaves her body, her brain frantically searching for a way out of this. She should have known the vampire’s senses would be at their peak after a feeding. Of course the woman knew she was coming.

    Emery lives victim to victim, always wondering who she'll seduce to sink her teeth into next. Samira is desperate to prove her importance to the organization as a new coven enters the city. A collision between the two puts everything at stake.

    Summary

    “Why are you out here?” The woman asks.

    “I don’t really know. You?” She answers truthfully.

    “I don’t really know.” She parrots.

    "Are you from Niko’s side of the family?”

    She laughs lightly. “Oh no, I did the flowers.”

    “Oh, well thank you. I liked my flowers.”

    Eve cannot recall what her flowers looked like in the slightest. They were probably nice.

    ***

    Eve has a quite average life if you ask her, she works an office job, she goes out for drinks on Friday, and she's marrying a math's teacher. All the trappings of a life destined for predictability. At least that is until her wedding when she encounters a florist who she finds herself running into over and over again. It's not like the intrusion is unwelcome.

    Summary

    There are few things in life the striker of Little-Iowa High School's soccer team, Kate Bishop, loves more than being a tryhard. Lucky, her dog, is definitely on that Things I Love More Than Being a Tryhard list. Soccer is also on there. Her family of course, especially the non-blood related ones. Oh! And that nest of bluebirds that’s been living in the tree right outside her school since her senior year started. Above all of that though, Kate Bishop loves her childhood best friend and the goalie of her team, Yelena Belova.

    Summary

    Kate turned her head just enough to peek at her. Yelena was up on one elbow, looking down at her with smug amusement. Kate’s cheeks heated. “I didn’t pull, I was soft with it!”
    Yelena’s eyes glinted. “Soft? That’s soft to you, Kate?”
    Kate nodded quickly, too defensive.
    “Good.” Yelena’s eyes flicked down, then back up. The smirk stayed, but her voice dropped, quiet and deliberate. “Then sex will be good.”

    Summary

    "How long?"

    “How long what?”

    “Have you been in love with her.”

    Had it been said in any other way, by anyone else, at any other time, Yelena would have broken their neck.

    Or

    Yelena doesn't do feelings.

    She certainly doesn't have feelings about Kate getting engaged to Eli, she simply thinks her best friend can do better. But if Kate won't listen to her superb advice, what can she do? She doesn't have any horse in this game, or whichever of those ridiculous American sayings Kate is always using. She doesn’t care that her best friend, the most compassionate person she knows, is promising her future to someone who peaked in high school and now coasts on his grandparents' legacy.

    Kate can do whatever she wants, Yelena doesn’t care.

    Summary

    Cruz has spent years building walls around herself, walls made of sequins, neon lights, and carefully practiced moves. At twenty-four, she dances in a high end club, surviving on tips, dodging intimacy, and hiding the broken pieces of her past. But when a striking, enigmatic woman appears among the wealthy clientele, Cruz finds herself caught in a stare that refuses to look away. Suddenly, she is forced to confront what she’s long avoided, the desire to be truly seen, the shame of her choices, and the fragile hope of a life beyond the stage.

    Summary

    Kate Bishop is fine. Totally fine. Even if she returns to NYC to discover three very inconvenient things:

    She somehow missed a city-saving event,
    The Avengers have reformed—without her,
    and
    Yelena Belova seems to be leading them.

    She’s fine.
    …Until a stolen hard drive drags her into an international mission with Yelena as her partner.

    Now it’s Paris rooftops, Yelena's ex's, Budapest car chases, Yelena in a suit, Russian winters, and Yelena's nickname for her. She is definitely not letting Yelena Belova take up permanent residence in her brain.

    She’s fine.
    …Until she’s not.

    Summary

    Her nightmares did not come in the form of screams or shuddering fits. They arrived on silent nights. The only remnant they left behind was the emptiness that lingered in her chest when she awoke. But that emptiness carried no memories—at least, none that truly mattered. Each time, a headache would arrive in its stead—sharp, unrelenting, intrusive. Perhaps a manifestation of what her subconscious fought to suppress yet could never release.

    A woman she had once loved had torn her world apart without warning. Ironic, if she allowed herself to think about it. After the first three years, she no longer did. She had stopped trying to understand it. Such things were, after all, a labyrinth without an exit. And in her new life, there was no place for the chaos that memory carried.

    Chaos—like Cruz Manuelos—was something Aaliyah no longer wanted in her life.

    OR

    Eight years have passed since that fateful night in Mallorca.

    Or, Yelena and Bob fake a relationship. It goes about as well as you'd expect.

    Summary

    Yelena chuckles. “You’re probably thinking, ‘whaaaat, this is crazy! I’m going to have dinner with the enemy? And she’s…really sexy…and I wish she’d just shut up and kiss me…'”

    “What?” Kate yelps, freaking out. “I’m n-not thinking that! Where did you get that?” This, of course, is a total lie. Kate would literally do anything in her power to be kissed by Yelena. No! Stop thinking that!! This woman almost killed Kate!
