The Task at Hand by rsadelle (explicit)
Greetings, all! I'm ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chalcopyrite and I swiped the keys to drive for this month's bandom tour. So let's start with a bang -- a ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
bandgirlsbang, to be precise.
Fandom: BANDOM
Pairing:Victoria Asher/Leighton Meester, Victoria Asher/Gabe Saporta (offscreen)
Length: 58,768
Author on LJ:rsadelle
Author Website: rsadelle's stories on AO3
Why 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, andrsadelle makes it look easy.
If you like stories about people being really good at what they do, this is one for you.
Excerpt:
"You'll be going into Saporta's club. Meester will float around some of the other clubs first. Saporta has eyes and ears all over the city. We're hoping if you hang out elsewhere he'll invite you in."
"Saporta's contacts mean this is a deep cover operation," Wentz said. "You'll have full identities and lives to lead." He nodded at them. "It's in the folders. You won't be able to have contact with your old life or each other. We've got covers in place to let you meet up with Carden and Chislett. They'll be doing whatever you need them to on the outside, but we're going to be relying on you."
