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?

Summary
Michaela dismisses Francesca’s fears with fierce reassurance, kissing her roughly to emphasize her devotion. She declares Francesca perfect, asserting that she’s exactly where she wants to be—whether slow or desperate—leaving Francesca overwhelmed by the intensity of their connection.

Summary
Francesca follows her to the door, lingers by the threshold, clinging to the final seconds they have together.
"I must leave," Michaela says, a finality.
"You could stay," Francesca says, dimply optimistic.
Michaela smiles and kisses her cheek. It is about as pointless as asking the clouds to remain rooted to their place in the heavens. The next morning, the sky is a clear, ringing blue, and the windows bear nary a streak from the rain. The sun soaks the air in ways that beg anyone to step outside and enjoy its warmth. Francesca does not leave the house.

Francesca had, irrevocably and terribly, fallen in love with the spirit of the storm.

Summary
Vi’s quads are sore. She trained legs three days ago and she can still feel the hint of a weary ache weighing them down as she walks through the doors of the Last Drop.
This and the giant banner hung from the balcony above the bar are incontrovertible evidence of the fact that today is her 40th birthday.
Vi is 40 and has never met her soulmate and it feels like shit, man.
