Why this must be read:

The author's summary of the first story is an absolutely perfect quote by Iris Murdoch: "love is the difficult realization that someone other than oneself is real." Part of the difficulty in writing Miranda/Andy is that in the movie each sees the other rather one dimensionally. To Miranda assistants are little more than that and are rarely, if ever, seen as people in their own right. Miranda spends most of the movie as the consummate "Dragon Lady" and it's only at the end that Andy begins to understand that there may be more to her. In this series, Telanu continues the development of each character and with them, their relationship.

What I love best about this series is the second story. It's a retelling of the first story, but written from Miranda's perspective and in second person POV. It should be near impossible to pull off, but Telanu does it so beautifully that the reader feels like they're right there with Miranda.
