Devil Wears Prada -AU
Pairing: Andy/Miranda
Rating: NC-17/M
*The information and general ideas are based off of one of my favorite international intrigue authors: Eric B. Lustbader. Derived from his Asian-American-Soviet-era, Nicholas Linnear novels such as The Jian or Second Skin, I began to imagine Miranda and Andy in such a startling and complex world where loyalties are few and the shadows are often dangerous.
This story has some disturbing images of violence and sexual violence, but is necessary to the storyline. Please pass if this is makes you uncomfortable.
Please allow for some serious artistic license and any historical and cultural inaccuracies, I’m only a ‘fan’ of history, not an expert. But I read lots and watch lots of documentaries, so hopefully that’s gotta count for something… right? lol
Finally, my interpretation or illustration of various cultures is not a suggestion that they are correct; I’m just a humble fanfic writer, sharing the love.
A/N I sincerely apologize for the hold-up on this story. Along with busy RL issues, my computer and I were "breaking up" and as a consequence it was harder to find somewhere to update/write. I'm working on a replacement as we speak, especially since I 'see' the finish-line of this fic. Nevertheless, I hope y'all still enjoy the updates and I thank you for your patience w/ me as I continue to work out the logistics of... everything.

At that Doug looked at Andy, remorse filled his brown eyes. “I was under orders. But I… we, Joan and I still believed in your innocence. So we… delayed information as long as possible until we could prove your innocence. “ Chapter 26
Andy sat across from the two red-headed girls. Both were trying to be brave, but today’s events had shaken them. Seeing their mother, after so many years, pale and unconscious was difficult. Currently they were sitting in a private waiting room, while Miranda was being worked on by doctors. Chapter 27 - Conclusion
Andy no longer needed to work, the brunette no longer trusted her government with her life, and more importantly, Andy had a family to worry about. So she occasionally does some in-house consulting if Doug needed her help, but otherwise Andy was no longer an operative. Instead she trained operatives. Miranda, on the other hand went into business with her cousin Nigel to focus on one of Miranda’s passions: fashion.
