    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?)

    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)

    Vampire Francesca and Witch Michaela AU nobody asked for 🩸

    John belongs to the Stirling family the powerful witch bloodline that rules New Orleans from the shadows.

    And Michaela Stirling, heir to the coven itself, has just been ordered to hunt the vampire responsible.

    Summary

    University AU where Francesca 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 Francesca finds herself, suddenly, hopelessly curious about another woman in ways that are utterly nonsensical.

    Now Francesca 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.

    --

    Doesn't love make us all a little crazy though? Or is that just Francesca?

    Featuring a mix of canon/author-created moments, a ton of angst, and all the Brigdy siblings.

    Excerpt from Chapter 10: The Present Answers

    “Francesca…” Michaela repeats, this time with an edge of concern.

    Franceca swallows and takes another step closer. She stares down at Michaela, finding the right words.

    Michaela blinks and waits for Francesca to say something. When she finally does, Michaela’s heart skips a beat.

    "Tell me about the wicked things you do.”

    Both Michaela and Francesca’s eyes widen at the final request.
