Prompts
Miranda/Andrea
"Miranda, are you telling me Emily has no idea that she is actually your niece?"
Link Miranda/Andrea
"Andrea, you are NOT moving that, that...thing into the townhouse!"
"Fine! We'll put it into storage but I am NOT getting rid of it!"
Link My all time favorite Xena quote
Miranda/Andrea
"The love of your love is you."
Link Miranda/Andrea
The email said 'do not reply'
Link This one is from my micro-fic
Miranda/Andrea
"Aren't you a little young for a mid-life crisis?"
"Just put the damned helmet on Miranda!"
Link Andy has a dream where the Runeay crew are the characters from Winnie the Pooh Your choice for who is who, heheheh.
Link Inspired by the Pink song Slut Like You: Andy thinks she is in the office by herself. Miranda comes in just as Andy sings "I'm not a slut I just love love"
Bonus points if Miranda starts to sing with her.
Link Mirandy - cocktail party
Link Mirandy/twins - zoo trip
Link (Bonus prompt for the above prompt)
Ooh, and whoever writes this, if you so choose, brownie points on my end if you have Miranda say "I like the wombats", because in my currently sleep-deprived state I find that statement hilarious.
Link Andy/Emily - "stop fidgeting!"
Link Mirandy - thrift store shopping.
"Welcome to my place!"
Link Mirandy/twins - the super moon
Link Mirandy - Miranda gets a little bit too obsessed with buying infomercial products. :p
Link Mirandy - "oh my god, what on earth are you doing?!"
Link Mirandy/twins - Caroline's half shaved hair-do.
Link "Put down that EpiLady and step away from the dog!"
Link Miranda/Andrea (plus anyone else)
Skylar Greys solo version of "I'm Coming Home"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezivo5-t4i4 Link The words dropped from her lips softly, almost apologetically. Andy never thought she would see Miranda like this, shoulders bowed and shaking, praying for an absolution she obviously thought would never come. (Mirandy)
Link OK so it is a P!nk kind of day for me. I think one of the girls may be "To School for Cool".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjVNlG5cZyQ and Andy or my personal choice Miranda doing the "Walk of Shame"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiUchttUNtE Link And just because I need inspiration/ideas for my own story and I do love a good Andy taking care of Miranda fic..Here are two prompts! Mirandy, obviously!
Option A) Switch it up and have MIRANDA in labour or telling Andy she's pregnant.
Option B)
"Miranda, you're obviously not fine, you've been sick every day this week. I don't think you can pass it off as an allergy to the incompetence you have to deal with."
"But it is, Andrea, but a result of my own - and, and his and that infernal, USELESS piece of plastic."
Andrea's brow furrowed as she tried to decipher Miranda's double meaning. Too exhausted to continue with their verbal parrying, no matter how much she enjoyed it.
"I'm pregnant, Andrea"
Link Andy did have a hobby of making handcrafted artisan jewelry for extra money in college that she kept up as she waited for the book.
Make it anyway you want...
Link It gets better.
Maybe a first heartbreak for one of the girls.
Link "Miranda now you have gone too far. That is just too demanding."
Link Mirandy/twins - fireworks
Link Mirandy -
"I really don't think we should be doing this, I-"
"Honestly, I didn't pick you to be a chicken. Just relax darling, I'm nearly finished. Keep watching the door."
*a few minutes later*
"Oh my god, I just saw a flash of light down the hall!"
"Stop being paranoid, and come over here and help me finish!"
"I'm serious, I-"
"NYP! Put your hands up where I can see them!"
"Oh."
"Seriously, that's all you can say?" Andy huffed. "I told you we shouldn't have done this."
"Why did you let me do it then?!"
"Oh no! You don't get to put the blame on me! You got us into this situation, and you're getting us out of it!"
- getting busted by the police. what for, what was Miranda doing?
Link M gets busted using A's dart board. Turns out the Editor is secretly good at it.
Link Twins pull a prank on A who has a lot of explaining to do when M gets home.
Link M gets busted eating Nutella straight from the jar.
Link Mirandy - bed time story.
Link Miranda/Andrea (couple or not-you decide)
Because of a strange mis-hap (writers choice)Andy gets left behind at a rest/gas station restroom while the Runway crew is on its way to a location for a shoot. Miranda panics - Andy panics - chaos insues while trying to reunite.
Link Miranda/Andrea/Caroline/Cassidy
Caroline and Cassidy trick Miranda into letting them see Andy after Paris.
Need I say it...love happens
Link Miranda/Andrea
Miranda finds a lost phone and while trying to figure out who it belongs to discovers a curious text thread about herself.
Link Mirandy
After moving in together, Miranda is suprised/appalled to find Andrea has an obsession with...
Link A, heavily pregnant, is on location with the Runway crew to be with her wife while a photo-shoot is being done. A goes into labor, panic ensues over not being able to get back to town in time cos it's an hour away which means M has to deliver her child herself with the help of their dear friends Nigel + Emily that's if E isn't hyperventilating! (:
Link Miranda/Andrea
This can be one of them saying it to or about the other or someone (Nigel?) saying it to or about them: "You are/she is my/her Achilles heel."
Link Harry Potter crossover:
- Andrea a witch but her power was bounded because her parents refused the letter from the Salem Academy.
- Life threatening situation involved Miranda and/or the twins unbounded Andy's power.
- Hermione Granger became her tutor.
- Two younger ladies bonded over their crushes of their older ladies, Miranda and Minerva.
- Miranda became jealous; Nigel played fairy godmother; Emily huffed, puffed and sniffed; and Serena was serene.
- And they all lived happily ever after.
Other possible plot points:
-- Miranda and the twins also witches.
-- Dalton a mixed magical/non-magical school for the upper crest.
-- Miranda and Minerva knew each other somehow, family/friends/acquaintances/whatnot.
-- Life threatening situation on-going; Hermione actually an undercover bodyguard and/or a hit witch or unspeakable.
-- Serena the Brazilian witch.
That'll be all. xD
Link Andy use to be a tagger when she was younger, which she parlayed into body airbrushing in college. Like
http://hiconsumption.com/2012/09/venom-body-paint-by-devious-body-art/ for halloween and stuff
Link She could eat crackers in my bed anytime.
Either one could say it as long as it is Mirandy. For me there is no other pairing.
Link M throws A surprise birthday party.
Link A/M/Twin. "I think I'm gay."
Link A makes M eat..... ???? Not meant to sound dirty. A food M has never tried before that she has been too turned off to try.
Link AU M is a baker for her own cafe (like Jane in It's Complicated) and A is her waitress. Fluffy romance ensues with a possible make out sesh.... (:
Link Miranda/Andy
M has the flu & won't go home sick.
OR
M is delirious/hallucinating because of a fever during a board meeting and doesn't remember anything the next day after Andy somehow gets her home and her fever down.
"Look, Andy, you HAVE to come get your wife, she is currently running a temperature of over 100 degrees and is about to give a two hour presentation to the board while DELIRIOUS. No, listen, I am hiding in the restroom so that she doesn't know I'm calling you, I have to get back. Get here NOW."
Link I was watching a Stargate SG:1 t'other day, and the episode where Vala snaps a bracelet onto Daniel's wrist which makes it impossible for them to be away from each other would make a great 'Mirandy' fic.
Could start in Paris perhaps, Andy runs away wearing the twin to Miranda's but collapses in the street, causing Miranda to collapse at the show as well? That, and the resulting tension would be rather awkward.
Could be any time really. Pre/Post Paris, AU timeline. Have a play.
I think the idea is that they have to be within a few meters. Imagine Bluetooth and that mythical 10 feet.
Link Miranda/Andy, speed dating
Link Miranda/Andy, AU in which Andy is an up-and-coming actress in a much sought after role that could make or break her career, and Miranda is the legendary director at the helm.
Link Mirandy - ugg boots.
Link Okay, the prompt is the lyrics to the song Air Hostess by Busted. I was thinking that Miranda is going to a fashion week whilst Andy is the air hostess and things get a little exciting? Thank you xx
Link Miranda/Andy
Nigel sputtered out through his laughter, "So, ladies, which one of you gets the toaster?"
Link Mirandy/twins - ice cream date
Link Mirandy - Favourite past time.
Link Mirandy/twins - onesie party where Miranda has to suck it up and wear a onesie as well.
Link Zombies.
I want zombie fic. Please oh please.
Emily zombie.
Irving zombie.
Miranda kicking ass.
Andrea taking care of twins after attack. Miranda falling for their caretaker.
Panic in the streets.
Runway Issue about zombies.
The twins wanna be zombies or are scared out of their minds by zombies...
Andrea's zombie costume at a Runway gala, makes an impression, but maybe not the good kind.
Pretty much anything. And I have no aversion to crack!fic :)
Link 5 times people find out about Miranda/Andrea.
Or any other couple of your choice. I'd love to read a really good Miranda/Emily of this.
Can be as 'caught in the act' as you'd like. Could be emotional as they wade into family, etc. Accidental finding out, the team coming together, Irving, HR...
Link Emily. Appendix. Drugs and the things that would come out of her mouth.
Link any, umbrella
Link any, road trip
Link Miranda/Andy, navigating trust issues that were a result of getting together while Miranda was still married to Stephen. Author's choice how successful they are (or are not) at working things out
Link Miranda/Andy, Miranda has a run in her stocking
Link Mirandy - It's Easter, Miranda has thrown a big celebration for the girls after a long and tiring few months of going thru the divorce with Stephen. Andy is still Miranda's assistant after having stayed in Paris. She is constantly craving Miranda's attention, and see's a rate opportunity to get close to Miranda thinking it will be the only possible opportunity, and dresses up in a Easter bunny costume and shows up unannounced to the townhouse. The twins are stoked. When the children finally get bored of her and her miming acts she has her chance and goes over to Miranda and hugs the Editor who protests but then gives in. Bonus points if you have Miranda knowing or work out that it was Andrea and have her confront Andy later that night.
Link Mirandy - Miranda gets accused/arrested for the murder of Irv. What lengths will her assistant go to, to help get her out of this mess?
Link Mirandy - trapped
Link (bonus prompt for the above prompt)
I love the trapped theme. In an elevator, in the closet, on an island, in an airport. I love it when they are continuously bickering.
Link Mirandy AU - The Lady in Paris
Link Mirandy - car wash
Link Mirandy - scissoring
Link I know there has been several "stranded on a desert island" type fics written/started with Miranda and Andy, but what about one more like "Swiss Family Robinson" with the twins where they become a family to survive. Maybe when stranded (by boat in a storm?) Andy is still her assistant but as time goes by and MP sees what AS has to offer is not just survival tecniques, they fall in love.
Just a thought, don't even know where it came from.
Link (bonus prompt for the above prompt)
I'd love to read a story of them stranded somewhere with the twins and as a family have to come together to survive. So hope someone takes the idea =) maybe add in a bit of Mirandy bickering lol :p
Link I still firmly believe a crossover with Warehouse 13 would be awsome. I have a few plot ideas if anyone is interested.
Link Any pairing, poison ivy
Link 19th century
Andrea as Sherlock, Miranda as prime suspect
Link 20th century
Andrea as Bond, Miranda as M
Link 17th century
Andrea as lady in Waiting, Miranda Queen Christina of Sweden (with Garbo accent)
Happy Ending and no flights to Rome
Link 21st century
I still like her as catwoman and Miranda as her awesome self
Link Miranda/Scandal crossover...
Link Miranda/Andrea
Story line up to writer, actual quote up to writer...
"Do you know how my parents met?"
"Andrea, how could I possibly kn.."
"Almost 30 years ago Daddy hired Mom as his executive assistant. This is not cliché Miranda it's (tradition? rite? can't find the right word, maybe YOU can)
Link Smart, fat girl.
I would love to read a story where Andy was actaully overweight, and Miranda fell in love with her. I would prefer that Andy didn't work at Runway and was Miranda's assistant but worked as something else. I've thought maybe as a plus-size model. What ever the writer decides is fine for me. I just would like to see this written out.
Link Mirandy - "Yes, come with me. Lets recreate Paris." Miranda murmured. "Now get over here."
Link What would happen to the Miranda/Andrea dynamic if the woman were the same age?
Say if it's in Miranda's direction and both women are in their late forties: what intrigue would ensue from a meeting where the editor meets her match? A woman who knows exactly who and what she is and can see right through Miranda and is not the least bit intimidated by the editor's fearsome persona.
Or conversely, if it's in Andy's direction and both women are in their mid-twenties: how would they affect each other's development and maturity? Would a softer, less steely Miranda be attractive to Andy? Would they be friends or lovers? And if lovers, would it be lifelong commitment or a short lived affair?
Link In a universe where Andy’s father is a filthy rich Goldman Sachs shareholder and Runway magazine is corporately owned by Goldman Sachs, Andy’s dad gifts her the reins to the magazine on her 25th birthday so she can work on the plebian publishing career she seems so fixated on. Enter Runway’s editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly who must play nice with the new, young, naïve, horribly dressed, and unilaterally controlling head of the company. How do these two forces of nature deal with one another through the transition of leadership? What does each learn about the other? Do they fall in love? Or is everything only a power play dynamic in the business world?
Link Gladiator AU, Miranda/Andrea
