Grief-bound Tension by julie6769

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 expected the party Eloise dragged her to to be too loud, and too full of lingering stares from men.
She didn't expect, however, to become so enraptured by a woman."Oh! Yes. I am- alright, that is, yes." Francesca managed as she felt a flush begin to paint her cheeks as that famed smile began to creep its way back onto the other woman's face.
"I don't think I've seen you around before," the woman said with a tilt of her head. "I surely would have remembered if I had."

Summary
Franchesca Bridgerton has touched herself once in her life, many years ago, long before she knew what pleasure was.
The second time she touched herself was well into her twenties, she was two-and-twenty and it's been two anniversaries since John passed. The night Michaela had returned and with her came the crushing weight of two years without a word between them. Two years of letting something sinister and ungodly fester in Franchesca’s chest. Two years of the heat between her legs ignored as punishment.

Summary
“Okay,” Michaela sighed, “but why wouldn’t you tell me?”
Francesca frowned at that, when she mentioned her family she thought Michaela knew it also included her.
“It’s because you’re my family too,” she confessed.
Michaela’s eyes widened at that, her bottom lip trembling slightly. It was as if Francesca rocked her world, but that couldn’t be?
Could it?Francesca’s life has an expiration date due to kidney failure, Michaela finds out accidentally and she goes back to London, a place she hasn’t been since John died. There’s a love story awaiting them, even if one don’t know it yet, and the other is resisting it.

Summary
Michaela, whilst grieving and overwhelmed with the feelings blossoming in her chest for her cousin's widow, does the only thing she can think to do when asked so sweetly to stay, she flees.
But now, after two years of running, she has returned to London, determined to make amends with the woman she has managed to convince herself she cannot fall in love with, under any circumstances.
Yet her chosen path is not an easy one, for Francesca Stirling, now seething with rage, grief, and a furious current of feelings she neither understands nor can explain, is just as determined to discover the very reason for Michaela's flight in the first place, a reason Michaela is intent on keeping to herself.

Summary
“Excuse me,” said a voice beside her. “I was wondering if you could help me. There’s something wrong with my phone.”
(...) Francesca blinked. “Sorry?”
The woman held up her phone with a solemnity that fooled no one. “Terrible malfunction.”
Francesca, still a step behind whatever was happening here, said, “Do you need to ring someone?”
“That’s the issue,” the woman said. “It doesn’t have your number in it.”A modern AU Franchaela story in which Francesca Bridgerton goes to Spain for two weeks with her sister Eloise and their friend Sophie, fully intending to recover from heartbreak quietly and in peace.
Instead, she meets Michaela Stirling.
What begins as sun, flirtation, and something that looks like a holiday distraction slowly becomes harder to define, and even harder to ignore. In a place that feels far from home, Francesca finds herself drawn to a woman who makes wanting feel easy, and honesty feel like something neither of them quite knows how to do.
And when the holiday ends, neither of them is brave enough to say what happens next.Series

Summary
“She thinks… she asked for me when she woke up so they called me. She thinks we’re still engaged.” And curse his tone too for being so sympathetic and emotional when he’s saying something that could come straight from one of Michaela’s nightmares.
“What?” Michaela scoffs. “You haven’t been engaged for-”
“Nearly two years.” He says too calmly, even as her own anxiety worsens. “She doesn’t remember that she broke it off because-” He swallows, still some pain to the statement even with his endless support. He probably loves her as much as Michaela does. He probably felt the same terrified panic that was still easing through her chest now.
“Because of me.” She whispers quietly… not a fact she had known at the time but one she was well aware of now after six months of being with her… they had just moved in together for crying out loud, what does he mean she doesn’t remember?
“She doesn’t remember that.” John’s tone is pained but quiet, gentle as he reaches out toward her, but she flinches away from his grip, her mind struggling to process the information he’s feeding her.
“She doesn’t remember… that she loves me?”

Summary
“How long is this flight again?” Michaela asked.
“About ten hours,” Francesca answered while shoving her book into her backpack.
“Tits, that’s long,” Michaela hissed out. “If they let me drive the plane, we’d be there in six hours, max.”
Francesca rolled her eyes. “If they let you drive the plane, we’d be crash landing at the bottom of the ocean and touring the wreckage of the Titanic.”
Michaela hummed thoughtfully. “See, I was thinking —worst possibility— I accidentally cause another 9/11.”
### OR ###
After two years of grieving John, Francesca decides to spend her summer on a solo road trip through America. She’s excited for the long drives to nowhere and the peace and quiet of the journey, that is, until a certain Stirling woman crashes her plans.

Summary
When she turns her head back towards the door, searching for the girl from the internet, she’s met with the sight of a breath-taking woman. Her hair is thick, yet straightened, curling around the tops of her shoulders. Even better, she wears a translucent lilac blouse that compliments her brown skin so beautifully. Francesca is certain this is who she was waiting for, but she waits for the confirmation.
or,
Francesca Bridgerton finds equilibrium where she least expects it.

Summary
She would know her anywhere, be it in dreams, a passerby, a story. It’s not a ghost. Bright-eyed, sun-kissed, and life-worn, she’s different in all the ways Maomao thought she would be after all these years, in all the ways she hoped she would be despite the tragedy that seemed set in stone for her and hers.
Quietly, as though an earnest prayer, unspoken but felt all the same: Shisui.
Or: Ten years after Shisui leaves her, Maomao finds herself in a nameless village, chasing the trail of a ghost.
