+F/F Historical Romance!
+Lucy and Catherine are scientists and artists! But not like society would acknowledge them as such anyway. Lucy's astronomy work was behind her father's name, while Catherine's scientific curiosity and artistry were stifled by her husband. Both men are now dead, so what are these women to do?
+Smash the patriarchy! Catherine pulls her funding from the Polite Science Society when they refuse to let Lucy work on a translation project simply because she's a woman and women can't do science despite Lucy basically doing all of the work for her father. She puts all of her money behind Lucy, naturally.
+Lucy is about a decade younger than Catherine, but she's the more experienced one! She's also the one to encourage Catherine to think of herself as an artist, even when society is dismissive of women's work.
+The inevitable fight was actually believable. Lucy is worried that she was just a whim for Catherine, and that she might move on to a new adventure sooner rather than later. Meanwhile, Catherine thinks Lucy is going to be moving on with her life as an astronomer and won't need her anymore; maybe even going back to her ex. Neither wants to hold the other back, so they...let go. For just a moment, then happily ever after!
