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
When Francesca Bridgerton returns to Kilmartin House in the wake of her husband's sudden death, she finds the one complication she cannot manage: Michaela Stirling, John's cousin, still in residence, and still capable of unsettling Francesca with a single look.
Michaela was the first person to offer Francesca comfort in London, and the first to abandon her without explanation. Now, forced into uneasy proximity by estate politics and watchful eyes, the two women circle each other through icy silences, sharp arguments, and moments of tenderness neither is willing to name. Francesca insists she is only trying to restore order. Michaela insists she is only trying to keep Francesca safe. But beneath the rules of mourning and the ruthless scrutiny of society, something forbidden begins to breathe.
Francesca is forced to confront an unbearable truth: she may be losing herself to a love she never knew she was allowed to want. Michaela, torn between devotion and fear, must decide whether protecting Francesca means leaving her... or choosing her.
The Widow's Reckoning is a passionate continuation of Francesca's story, where love does not replace what was lost, but dares to exist beside it... even if it becomes scandal.Series

Summary
Sansa is used to liars. She knows how to read them.
She has to.
Grew used to them somewhere between her father’s head on a pike and the battle of Blackwater. She had perfected reading and playing them by the time she’d been wed to Tyrion. And by Ramsay? Well.
Point being, she is used to them.
And so, when Jon receives word that Daenerys Targaryen wishes to meet with him to discuss uniting under her name, she can’t help but scoff.
(Or: A complete rework of the war between Cersei and Daenerys - that which Daenerys and Sansa fall in love in the midst of.)

Summary
Trust is a curious thing, for us. And how couldn’t it be, after everything we’d done to one another? Just a couple months ago, I planned to kill Maud.—And then, not even a week ago, I was willing to dedicate my entire life to finding her again, to tell her everything—whether she’d have me or not. I don’t know if it’s worse to be a gullible pigeon or a love-struck goose; but here I am, both.
But it doesn’t mean I don’t blush horribly when she tells me where she’d like to kiss me next.Bookmarked by slowdancingtrees

Summary
Instead of joining the BAU after Doyle, Emily takes another undercover case with Interpol. This time, she's going undercover as herself. She's married Gabor Farkas, the American ambassador to Hungary (and a sex trafficker), in order to get information and track down the rest of the ring. Unfortunately, she's been with him for two years and hasn't found anything. Instead, she's bored, frustrated, and lonely, tired of being a trophy wife to someone who is never around. So, she hires an escort that can keep her company and give her as much sex as she wants. That escort? JJ. The thing is... Emily doesn't know that JJ is undercover, too.

Summary
Kate Bishop is 10 years old when she hears the voice for the very first time.
It's rare to hear it so young (she learns this later) and she doesn't understand the significance quite yet, but there's something about it that's exciting. Incredible, even, which is a word she doesn't use often but she's pretty sure is appropriate for this.
OR
Kate/Yelena are soulmates and can communicate telepathically until their first in-person meeting. This is the story of their relationship through the years, their first meeting, and what happens next.
