    Summary

    She’s been pacing around her room for the last 10 minutes, checking her phone every two seconds for a reply. The screen lights up each time she picks it up: 10:47, 10:47, still 10:47. It feels like time is standing still just to torment her. She can see that he's read her messages. The little "Read" receipt sits there, a silent verdict of his indifference.

    A story of what happened after the fight at Malone's.

    Summary

    "You have lost the privilege of Frannie".

    Two years ago, Michaela Stirling left a London drawing-room one evening and did not come back. She left a letter. She left, also, the woman whose hand she had been holding on a sofa some hours earlier, and to whom she had said nothing of consequence.

    She is, this April, returning. There are papers to sign, a title to inherit, and a season to survive, and there are, unfortunately, only so many ballrooms in Mayfair.
    Francesca Bridgerton, Countess of Kilmartin, has been waiting. Not gladly.

    A literary slow-burn through the season of 1820. F/F; seventeen episodes; rated for the long view.

    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

    She considers calling Taylor. She considers throwing her phone out the window. She considers tracking down her laptop and doing a deep-dive into the operation of the Hinge algorithm, so she can decide whether this chance-meeting-by-app was a matter of fate, circumstance, or mathematics.

    Summary

    Deciding that enough time has passed for Elphaba to be sufficiently in suspense, Glinda steps closer. "Three words, Elphie. Yellow," she takes another step, and the floor groans again in protest. "Brick." And another, so they’re nose-to-nose. "Road trip."

    Glinda falls on the bed that she'd made mere moments before. As she kicks her heels in excitement, Elphaba lets herself pretend like she's just passed her finals or gotten kissed or found a blouse to match her bag. For a clock-tick, the whole world is in their hands again. Everything and nothing matters, and they're far from rounding the corner to thirty.

    "Isn't it absolutely temptatulating?!"
