Headcanons because I'm excited for the sequel and for Mother to return

You’re the assistant that’s always ready to go above and beyond for Miranda

While you’re excellent at your job, she always remains firm, calculating, and offers you zero favoritism

If anything, she’s more critical with you in front of others

But behind closed doors she’s soft and teasing. It’s like she dares you to challenge her with your impressive wit, but only when you’re alone

It started out as a simple service you could offer her: A way to help her release her frustrations whenever she felt slightly out of control

You’d go over to her place to drop off the book and end up staying for however long she required you

It was usually quick followed by little conversation

Which isn’t to say it wasn’t an extremely satisfying physical relationship. She knows how to make her partner happy and always strives to be the best at what she does

And then one day, after work hours, she called you over and you were greeted with dinner instead of normally being expected to strip right away

You’re uncertain what to talk about with her at first when she looks so vulnerable

“Tell me about that book you’ve been reading. It must be devastatingly well written for you to be so distracted by it”

She can never just simply show interest in you or your hobbies. She always has to act above everything

But you know she does pay attention because she gifts you exclusive editions of your favorite books and albums before they even drop

She rarely touches you in public, but occasionally if you sit across from her during a meeting her foot will find a way to lightly brush your ankle

Or she might keep a guiding hand on your back whenever you have to walk through crowds and cameras

What she’ll settle for is knowing she’s the only one that gets to pick out what undergarments you wear each day

Fancy lingerie is something she doesn’t care too much about wearing herself, but she thrives on dressing you up in the finest lace and silk pieces from Italy and France

You enjoy going to the theater and ballet with her, especially when you can get a private viewing box

By the final act she’s already whispered to you exactly what she expects when you get back to her place

And sometimes it’s just a few drinks and a bath. She is an older woman with less energy than she had 30 years ago

But you don’t mind what it is you’re doing. You simply enjoy being the only one that gets to see her this way

Andy never brings Miranda the manuscript. Never returns to Runway. She's blacklisted from the publishing industry and goes to Harvard Law to make up for the fact she's been barred out of her chosen industry

10 years later Miranda is the defendant in a court case, for whatever reason she's being sued by a company, probably a scheme to finally take the dragon down after years of tirany and countless enemies made

But Andy isn't defending Miranda in court. Nope. Andy is a corporate lawyer now, and when she finds out she'll get to have a little justice against the horrible woman who 'ruined her life' because she dared to climb a set of stairs, Andy jumps at the opertunity

Enemies to lovers. Hate sex. Smug Andy Sachs looking at Miranda like this the entire time. 10% meaner than canon cause 10 years of resenment:

"Andrea, it's none of your fucking business. You ran away with your tail between your legs. It's not up to you to tell me who the poor thing is."

"You think so?", smile. "It's my fucking business, because you got what you deserved. You bullied hundreds of people. And what happened? Everyone who could help you turned their backs on you. The fall of the Queen. It sounds so sweet..."

"I will destroy you, and then-"
