I wanted to get them back into the movie. But I figure now that Andy's halfway in love with Miranda (and we all know Miranda's always had a thing about Andy), they'll be getting back together soon enough without all the baggage of abuse/torture/etc. And thanks for reading!
Oh gosh. That was a roller coaster. And in the end, just in time for Paris, for Andy to leave Miranda again! Noooo---
In a way it's a pity they lost their memories of each other, but then again, it's a relief, too. Well, they didn't lose all of it, I guess, so I'm hoping that means Andy doesn't walk away from Miranda this time =)
Ditto what Kosmos said about bittersweetness, and Paris, and leaving. But this was incredibly imaginative and evocative. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, and it definitely brought a welcome distraction to a fairly stressful night!
Thanks for the most unusual Pradafic I've seen yet. I really enjoyed it.
Hey, thanks! I appreciate it -- especially since I spent two weeks reading it over and over and wondering if it was the most implausible thing ever or not. But in the back of my brain, I figure that they'll get together anyway, and Miranda can be herself without all the baggage, and Andy can use the inner strength she discovered and didn't forget. Which means that the sex is fabulous, of course ;) Hope your stressful night takes care of itself in a good way, and I'm glad to have provided a distraction...
"And I know my pet would love the company," she whispered in Andy's ear, tugging at the earlobe with her teeth. "Would you like to know, Andrea Sachs, what form I assumed to trap my pet all those weeks ago?" Her smile was millions of times worse than Gareth's. "Would you?"
That that's the kind of scene from Miranda's POV that I would *love* to see. How did Lyra do it? What did she say, why did Miranda respond, etc. Talk about yummy and creepy. I'm having tons of fun just imagining it!

Well... you could always write it, you know... (she says ever-so-slyly) I wouldn't mind at all.
Although now that you mention it, it would be fun to puzzle through. For one, why the hell did they end up at the same bar or party or whatever? Man... after I finish the other fall ficathon I signed up for, if you don't write it, I will.

I cannot encourage this idea enough.
Tell you what. I have an idea. You write the scene from Miranda's POV when Andy!Lyra first encounters her or seduces her or whatever. And then, if you don't mind me dicking around with your beautiful ficverse, I will produce a short ficlet about Miranda encountering Gareth after Andy leaves her in Paris. Because that idea bit me and just won't go away.
Re: also...hayseed_42October 31 2007, 10:20:58 UTC
Indeed it does. Because now not only is the idea stuck there, it'll give me a chance to see what I can do with Miranda POV, which I generally don't mess around with much.
And please please please write about Miranda and Gareth -- that sounds like it could go in so many different directions, all of them wonderful.
Oh, wow. This gave me shivers the entire time. Highly ambitious and inspired with fantastic execution. The bit where Miranda first breaks a little and asks Andrea for her help is simply arresting.
And this:
But when they were alone, the façade dropped and Miranda's hands started to tremble. Once they were in the car, she pressed herself against Andy's aching side and refused to budge.
There was no question of Andy going anywhere but the townhouse. She and Miranda slept side-by-side in the master bedroom, hands grazing against each other in the night.
makes me achingly sad. In the best way. Thank you for sharing!

Hey, thanks. Do you know, that scene was actually the original inspiration for the fic? That's kind of cool.
Thanks for reading -- I'm glad you enjoyed it!
