Summary
„So, that colleague of yours. She make you happy? You all shacked up, now that you’re finally rid of me?“
Somehow, after signing the divorce papers, the only thing they could think of doing was walk into the seedy pub across the street and sit down for a beer.
The question stings like a slap to the face, but Melissa forces herself not to let the pain show on her face. Forces her voice to come out level and uncaring.
„She and her husband made up.“, she takes a long sip of her beer. „They’re try’na make it work.“
Joe winces apologetically. „I’m sorry, Lissy. That sucks.“ Somehow, he has the audacity to sound genuine.
„Well, you win some you lose some.“ She shrugs, trying to pretend that her life isn’t in complete and utter shambles. „Am I right?“Two decades worth of Abbott history and through it all: Barbara and Melissa, two constants in an ever shifting ocean of learning and longing.

a woman of many contradictions by storyteller_200600

Summary
Over the years, Andy has come to accept that Miranda Priestly is both the best and the worst thing that ever happened to her.
It seems fitting that she would hold both superlatives. It’s the only way to explain why Andy keeps leaving her.
Business woman, artist, celebrity, mother, millionaire, tyrant - Miranda is a woman of many contradictions. Defined as much by the beauty she creates as the terror she inspires. To deny either is to refuse to understand her as the real, complex, fully fledged human being that she is. It’s the only way to explain why Andy keeps leaving her.
And the only way to explain why she keeps coming back.

Summary
By that point, Miriam’s career was gaining traction. But she wanted not only to survive off it, but to excel, to move up, to reign supreme. Miriam was talented, but hungry. She was strong, but so very tired of fighting. So she made a decision. Exchanged one name for another, one freedom for another, one life for another. Now, decades later, Nigel chews her ear off about responsibility and cultural change and the right time to come out of the closet. Telling her to give the girl a shot. But Miranda is 54 and has a magazine to run and two lovely daughters to take care of and she is all out of shots.
An exploration of Miranda Priestly’s past, her life’s passions and limitations and how Andrea Sachs might be the key to finally having it all.
A companion piece (of sorts) to A Little Comfort.Series

Andrea Sachs is nothing like you.
At least that’s what she tells you the first and last time you kiss.

Summary
I look at her sitting there in nothing but a simple grey robe and glasses. No couture, no shoes, no make-up. „You’re very fetching, so go fetch.“, I hear her say. Her eyes jump around the room, finally landing on me and there is something in them I’ve never seen before. A hesitant insecurity mixed with a kind of searching curiosity, as if she’s seeing me for the very first time. „Miranda?“ This is madness. "Miranda?!" I’m going through with it.
Upon rewatching the bathrobe-scene™, I noticed for the first time how low-cut Andy's outfit is. From there I decided to just roll with it. Somehow, it got more intense than anticipated.

Summary
“She won’t even admit that she’s gay for a New York City Ballet dancer. You think she would go for you, Rio Vidal of Cobb, Oklahoma?” Jenn raises an eyebrow, “IT service provider who plays Elden Ring in her spare time.”
“Maybe.” Chirps Rio. Hope does, after all, spring eternal.
*
Or,
Rio goes from IT service monkey to fucking her very beautiful, very poised boss in a very short period of time. And then, of course, there’s the aftermath.

Summary
Deborah lets out a huff of an exhale and sinks down onto the cushion Ava’s feet have only just vacated. “A cruise.” Her lips curl around the words, a sneer playing about the corner of them.
“Um…why?”
Deborah’s fingers rake through her hair, and Ava can’t help thinking how much she’d like to be the one doing that instead—which is, you know, wholly inappropriate because Deb’s her boss, and also one forwarded email away from kicking Ava out on her ass. “It’s a long story.”
Or, the post-season 1 Hacks fic where Deborah gets stuck as the on-board entertainer on a three-week cruise only to find out about the email while out at sea
