Greetings, all! I'm
chalcopyrite and I swiped the keys to drive for this month's
bandom tour. So let's start with a bang -- a
bandgirlsbang, to be precise.
Fandom: BANDOM
Pairing:Victoria Asher/Leighton Meester, Victoria Asher/Gabe Saporta (offscreen)
Length: 58,768

rsadelleAuthor Website: rsadelle's stories on AO3Why this must be read:It's long. It's plotty. It's a rare pairing. It's got awesome ladies. It's fabulously written. You need more? Oh, all right then:
This is an AU based on Cobra Starship's video for
Good Girls Go Bad, and it takes the usual trope of going undercover and turns it on its head. Rather than getting together while infiltrating Gabe Saporta's criminal empire, Vicky-T and Leighton have to deal with being separated while working the same case. It isn't easy, but they can't let it slow them down too much -- they have bad guys to catch. The plot is twisty and complex, the characters are vivid, and
rsadelle makes it look easy.
If you like stories about people being
really good at what they do, this is one for you.
