Summary
Francesca Bridgerton knows the rules of high society perfectly. She’s mastered them better than anyone. She was raised in that world and is expected to spend her entire life in it.
The problem? She’s never truly felt like she belongs there.Michaela Stirling despises wealthy heirs and their outrageously expensive parties just as much. She has always looked down on the arrogance of that world.
A medical student, she’s never been handed anything without fighting for it.So when a misunderstanding leads Michaela to believe Francesca is merely an employee of the Bridgertons, their relationship begins on the wrong foot and with a lie Francesca doesn’t dare correct.
Falling in love is already complicated enough. Doing it between two worlds that despise each other is even worse.
What a mess...
***
This fanfic is based on the movie "Love and Wine" (and yes, I only watched it for Masali ;) but it’s only an inspiration, so don’t expect a copy-paste adaptation!
English isn’t my first language, so please be kind. I’m not very good at writing summaries, so I’d recommend giving the story a try and forming your own opinion :)

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 22ArC

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.
