New Fic: The Right Thing (5A/6), Miranda/Andy
Title: The Right Thing (part 5A/6)
Author: lauriestein
Rating: PG this part, NC17 eventually
Pairing: Miranda/Andy
Word Count: ~5000
Disclaimer: I don't own anything, these characters remain the property of Lauren Weisberger and 20th Century Fox. No profit is being made, and no harm is intended (except the fun kind!) This story borrows from real-life events in cases such as Martha Stewart's, but I promise to keep it light on boring corporate stuff as much as possible.
Summary: Set after the movie!verse of DWP. Andy is working at the Mirror and receives an unexpected phone call. Miranda needs her, again. It seems Miranda has run into a little legal trouble, and who better to help get her side of the story out, right?
With a million thanks to shesgottaread for a sterling beta a job :) She really goes above and beyond, and this story wouldn't be in any kind of shape without her! Thank you all for your feedback so far, I'd love to know what you think of the latest developments!
------------------------------
The weeks slipped past almost without Andy noticing. She was busier than ever in the newsroom, and apart from the occasional press release regarding the investigation into Wisteria (and by extension, Miranda) she was occupied with the rest of New York life, from the sensational to the mundane.
News of the indictment, when it came down on a Friday morning, was crackling around the city like an electric current, lighting up malicious smiles wherever it went. Schadenfreude was alive and thriving in Manhattan as ever. Everyone wanted to speculate on whether Miranda would end up with her own Camp Cupcake stay, and within minutes the email forwards with cruel jokes and suggestions were flying. Andy would have been more impressed if they weren’t all simply recycled jokes about Martha Stewart--she’d come to respect a little originality in her cruelty.
