So if I had any editing ability at all I’d have made one of those fun visual charts, but I don’t, and I still wanted to make this anyway so…

Eloise, the patron of scholars, is known for her disdain for love and marriage.There is Rumor that she has taken an oath of virginity, but Eloise has certainly never done such nonsense - she has lovers, thank you very much. She corresponds with many scholars around the world about their research topics, and one day, when she gets tired of the world of gods, she decides to randomly choose one of her pen pals and live with him for a while. None of them have a reason to object, do they? She appears on the doorstep of Philip Crane, a talented botanist full of passion for learning, with whom she has corresponded since his studies at Cambridge. But in none of their letters did he mention that he got married, or had twins, or was widowed. But Eloise stays, because it's still a change from the world of the gods, and Philip's twins are quite bright and will be excellent scholars in the future, and Philip himself… Suddenly, Eloise begins to understand why her other brothers (well, not including Anthony) talk so much about love…
John and Michael are the two young princes of a small, rainy island called Kilmartin, which is known for its music. The islanders have always told stories of gods and monsters, but as befits an island of musicians, most of their stories revolved around the elusive patroness of music, Francesca, who is featured in so many artworks on the island, with her long chestnut hair, beautiful blue eyes and mysterious smile. Michael never thought they'd actually meet her, and he certainly didn't expect her and John to fall in love with each other. When John died unexpectedly, Francesca's grief washed over the island with songs full of pain and grief for months, but only after Michael begged her to return his cousin and best friend for life, not understanding that even powerful beings like her could not do such a thing, she returned to the world of gods. After four years with no sign of her, Michael, now King of Kilmartin in place of John, had already given up hope of seeing her again. But one day as he was wandering in the fields, he heard music, and there she was, sitting on the side of a hill, just as the first day he had seen her, playing a sweet tune to John who looked at her adoringly.

Am I the only one in the fandom who developed complete indifference to Michaela after a few minutes of adjusting to the idea, even though she loved Francesca and thinks her book is one of the best in the series?
Like, okay, I'll just ship a book! Francesca with Michael and a show! Francesca and Michaela, their personalities are quite different anyway.
The only thing that would bother me would be people claiming that she didn't love John romantically (some bisexuals are sexually attracted to only one gender and that's fine!) and the lack of Franchel fic, and I'm already bothered by how it cuts the fandom in half. Let me enjoy Francesca's content without being exposed to your arguments
