Summary
The collar has fallen open at her throat. No dress shows beneath it. The belt is drawn securely around her waist, and her bare legs extend from the hem to the narrow straps of her shoes. Her curls have been loosened from their pins. Fresh lipstick darkens her mouth.
Michaela holds Francesca’s gaze. The familiar confidence is present, but not effortless. One hand is wrapped around the strap of her overnight bag. Her breath lifts the open collar.
“I still have one present to give you,” she says.
Francesca looks at the coat, the heels, the bag, and then behind Michaela as though the correct explanation might be waiting in the corridor.
Or: After years of a mutual crush, Michaela proposes an opportunity of a lifetime on Fran’s 19th and it comes with consequences.

Summary
It begins, as most things do, rather innocuously. With a phone call.
A phone call that shocks Francesca from her deep sleep, blinking confused and discombobulated in the dark.
She registers her phone ringing on her nightstand with a jolt, and crawls out of the warm nest of blankets, flinging an arm over and answering without even glancing at the caller ID. Her voice is hoarse, brimming over with sleep as she clears her throat and mutters, “Hello?”
“Frannie,” Michaela breathes on the other end.
All of a sudden Francesca’s wide awake.
Or: Michaela’s apartment floods. She moves in with Francesca until it gets fixed. And that should’ve been fine, right? But Francesca’s used to her simple, quiet routine -– bookstore job, piano on the weekends -– and, well, there’s nothing less routine, less controllable, than Michaela. Except maybe the feelings Michaela stirs up within her.

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?
