    Summary

    I started thinking about a world in which Frederik's rampage happened on the same day as Brave New World, and then this slightly cracky little number happened. Just a bit of fun, everyone lives!

    Summary

    University AU where Francesa 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 Francesa finds herself, suddenly, hopelessly curious about another woman in ways that are utterly nonsensical.

    Now Francesa 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.

    Summary

    Losing a Stirling was a pain unlike anything Francesca could have ever fathomed. And she’d already lost two. John, she’d lost to fate. Michaela, she’d lost to —

    Well. She still did not know why.

    But the twin losses struck her and left her with wounds that would not heal.

    To think there was a Stirling in need of a home. In need of love.

    And Francesca had nothing but love to give a Stirling.

    or, the canon-compliant kidfic, because regency sapphics can, in fact, have a child
