Still Life With Lipstick by victoria p. (PG)

[autolat.livejournal.com]

Hello all! My name's Auto and this month I'll be driving the van for a small but wonderfully awesome fandom. If you've never read the book or seen the movie, don't worry! Neither had I when I entered the fandom, and I've still only seen bits of the movie. Most (if not all) of my recs are going to be femslash between the two main characters, Miranda Priestly and Andy Sachs, in part because that's what dominates the fandom and in part because I love a strong female character and with Miranda and Andy I get two of 'em with a side of power dynamics.

Fandom: THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA
Pairing: Andy/Miranda

Why this must be read:

This is the fic that brought me into the fandom. For anyone who reads Logan/Rogue for X-Men, victoria p. is probably a familiar name. Her fics always have spot of characterization and although I wouldn't call the writing sparse, it's without padding so you know that every detail is there for a reason.

Still Life With Lipstick focuses on Andy after the movie. A more mature, independent Andy who still finds herself inexplicably drawn to Miranda. But what I really love about this fic is the look at Miranda. She's the one making the first move and leaving herself vulnerable, while at the same time keeping the cold, unapproachable front that's her constant companion.
