    Summary

    Francesca has a hunch, silence is not an option when Michaela Stirling is around. "Have you seen Miss Stirling tonight? Has she gone to bed already?"

    "Did Miss Stirling not inform you?" The maid wondered.

    "Of what?" She mumbles.

    "She has packed her belongings and left." For a moment, the world stills. The candlelight, the soft rustle of the maid’s apron—everything suspends. Francesca cannot move. She cannot think. She can only feel the now familiar, suffocating sense of loss settle over her again. Michael too, must think something is broken in her.

    On the far edge of the ton, Michaela sits rigidly in her carriage, watching the night sky blur past the window. She wonders whether John is there watching over her. Grieving is certainly draining, but Michaela cannot help but be consumed by guilt. Guilt for leaving Francesca alone despite her promise to stay in Mayfair. But deeper still, guilt for the quiet flutter she felt when Francesca’s hand touched hers in the parlor. If fleeing to the farthest corner of the earth is what it takes to silence her own wicked mind, then she will flee. Even if it means breaking her promise.

    Summary

    Francesca's breath came in short, sharp gasps. The jealousy was still there, burning through her veins, but beneath it was desire.

    "You shall bathe Michaela."

    Michaela blinked, obviously surprised. "What?"

    "Wash away every trace of her. I cannot. No, I will not bear the presence of another upon your skin."

    Michaela stood in the center of the room and Francesca's hands moved before her mind could catch up, reaching for the fastenings at Michaela's back. She unfastened them one by one, her knuckles brushing against Michaela's skin through the fabric, and then she pushed the dress away from her shoulders. The pink fabric fell, pooling at Michaela's feet. Francesca's breath stopped. If heaven is real Francesca was sure it would look something like this.

    OR What happens when Michaela beds a lady who looks a little too much like Francesca?
    More specifically, what happens when Francesca accidentally catch them?

    Smutty one shot featuring jealous francesca :)

    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?
