Summary
“What if I were terribly desperate?” Francesca asked, putting on her most pleading look.
Michaela bit her lip, staring up without blinking. “You’re already uncomfortable and we haven’t even touched on the actual subject.”
We haven’t even touched. That was all that got through to the processing part of the intoxicated brain, no matter the context. “You enjoy it, though, don’t you? Making me uncomfortable?”
“You’re too fun to tease. If you were terribly desperate, however…” Michaela said, emphasising the term Francesca already regretted having spoken, though, the daring taunt didn’t appear to be the main concern at the moment. Michaela’s fingers deliberately running over her own necklace seized the attention until she opened her mouth to finish her statement. “I suppose I could make an exception and be entirely serious. What is it that you’d like to know about pleasure?”Bookmarked by StrongAndIndependent

Summary
“I do not know you.”
“Yet I should like to know you.”
Francesca finds that her eyes have already drifted back to her left, back towards Michaela.
“I—” She feels her cheeks paint pink, “Well you should—” She coughs. “Not.”
Michaela just smiles, nonplussed, “I fear your repellant disposition is having the opposite effect, Miss Bridgerton.”
Francesca cheeks redden even further as she rolls her eyes, looking away again, “I told you to—”
“Tell me then, Francesca..” Michaela purrs, turning towards Francesca and stepping closer. Francesca’s neck jerks right back to her at the sound of her voice. Her heels click once, twice. And she teases a small pout, a dangerous gesture indeed, “What mountains must I move to earn favor with you?”
Francesca’s eyes unconsciously fall to Michaela’s lips for a half-second.
And when she looks back up, Michaela's pout transforms into that same damned enigmatic smile.
Holding her gaze steady, seemingly unaffected, Francesca finally suggests,
“Perhaps you can start with Everest.”

Or, Queen Charlotte decides to spice up this year’s season by adding a jewel to her collection of diamonds.

Summary
description rewrite:
It was the something that felt similar to how Nancy felt in the form of sweaty palms and bright eyed, teenaged excitement when she started dating Steve those many years ago. It was the something that felt like the adoration she once felt for Jonathan.
And now she felt it with Robin, and it was different. It was softer - it felt right. Robin had somehow created the perfect man for Nancy, and he existed on a piece of paper. She played the part so well that Nancy almost believed she could be him.
aka
Nancy, Robin, and Steve finally agree to play D&D with Eddie. Nancy and Robin’s characters have an in-game romance, and it bleeds into the real world.

Summary
“No, I mean, what’s the date?” Nancy presses. Because she cannot be here, in her room, in Hawkins. In whatever insane wormhole was making her mom look ten years younger.
“March 21st.”
“1986,” She says, almost in a whisper. The day before spring break, before Mike left for California, the day that Chrissy Cunningham was going to die. The day before it all began again, for the last time.Or:
After graduation, Nancy leaves Hawkins far behind. When she has a chance run-in with Robin years after leaving her hometown, they quickly reconnect and fall in love. She's happy, the evils of Hawkins are long defeated and she knows that she's going to spend the rest of her life with the woman she loves. Until one morning she wakes up back in Hawkins, eighteen again, forced to relive her horrific 1986 spring break. She tries to save those that hadn't made it, to figure out why Hawkins has pulled her back in, all while trying not to destroy her future.Bookmarked by StrongAndIndependent

“D’you really speak three languages?”
Nancy Wheeler. Perfect, prissy, Nancy Wheeler. Robin never really noticed her in high school. After Starcourt, it's difficult not to notice her—especially since she's spending an awful lot of time at the Family Video store these days.

Summary
Yelena didn’t expect Kate. But in her defense so little in her life was breathtaking the way Kate Bishop was. It didn’t steal her breath with sharp pain the way she was used to losing her breath, but robbed it with longings and what if’s.
She had always worked with a team, the controlled Widows, her sister, then the freed Widows. Maybe she should work with someone again. What if that someone was Kate Bishop?

This started out as the stereotypical/cliche carry your crush to bed and accidentally cuddle them trope we all want and deserve.
(Many ongoing themes of peaceful mornings together as well as nights, and some not so peaceful times sprinkled in.)
Pretty much now a slice of life story of what life might be like for the pair if they eventually did get together a while after the series ended.Bookmarked by StrongAndIndependent
