These are many of the fics that I wish someone had told me to read when I was first looking for X-Files fic. The list is super not complete and I’m going to keep adding to it as I remember names. Not trying to be obscure or find the deep cuts, just listing what I’ve liked (or maybe didn’t quite like but have read more than once for some reason or another). Almost everything on here is MSR to one degree or another. Strong preference for long stories. My picks from prolific authors are…pretty idiosyncratic, but consider any name on here as a blanket recommendation for the rest of their work.

Big fan of Miranda not being able to help watching Andy leave

Damn way to look tender on the last one. Like oh "her eyes softened." Yup. Yup they did narrator.

Miranda watching Andy play with her fridge while she walks away. That's her POV. Andy looking well dressed, pretty and full of hope

And that's what makes Miranda smile and blush like she's got butterflies? Andy Sachs giving Miranda Priestly butterflies.

[pizzaboat]

Ahh the way Miranda looks around like she's processing that Andy is gone. Like, "where is she? Is she over there?"

"No. Oh. I'm alone." Ouch.

The way she blinks a few times in the final realisation and looks dissapointed, not angry. Like hesitation of a blink in gif two. That's trying not to feel.

Sure she calls Andy afterwards but I get the impression she knew she'd scared Andy off. Miranda knew she went too far that day

Ow.

thinking about scene when Nigel is talking about when Miranda’s micro expressions mean how she feels about certain outfits and collections

Imagine how funny a scene would be if Andy was like. “Hey Nigel what does it mean when she looks at an outfit and then licks her lips? Good right? Really good?” And Nigel’s like “what the fuck.”

The movie deleting the scene where Andy protects Miranda at the benifit pisses me off cause that scene totally does recontextualise Miranda's demand that comes afterwards

Like its not just that Andy got a name right when Emily foundered. Andy jumped in and protected Miranda from Stephen's BS emotional abuse. Like that scene is technically Stephen's 2nd appearance or would have been if it hadn't been cut and once again he's resentful of Miranda, drinking, letting her know he's angry and doesn't wanna be there... and then he mocks Irv

Miranda is there to network. That was a very important night for her and he tried to get her in trouble with her boss and Andy has to jump in and protect her

That benifit was serving as the place where Miranda would be making up her mind on who she needed in Paris and for what reason. Miranda deciding that Emily can't go because she got sick and forgot a name makes her look impulsive and illogical, since Emily has been serving her purpose all along

But Miranda recalibrating what problems can arise, and realising that Stephen can be a problem and there are social problems that she won't be able to deflect on her own, that Andy CAN deflect makes for some good thought

When she tells Andy that fashion week is the most important week of the year and she can't have anything mess it up, it takes two meanings depending on which cut of the movie you've got

Is she just a controlling asshole or is she a woman that's aware her shitty husband will be with her in Paris and might try to mess with something to undermine her... because he's jealous of her?

And Stephen ends up hurting Miranda in both cuts then, but one feels like it's trying to shame her as the reason for the breakdown of her marriage (but she still feels sympathetic)

And the other is fucked up cause Miranda is blaming herself still, even though Stephen has been the abusive friction in their marriage

The movies obsession with a moralization of both Andy and Miranda's paths really flattens what realistically is going on and I'm annoyed they cut scenes because they made Miranda "sympathetic"

Because Nate was already an asshole and the movie wanted you to ignore it. Having Stephen be an obvious POS doesn't disrupt narrative coherence and the mirroring of Miranda and Andy, it actually makes it more coherent

Emotionally abusive, whiney, insecure men who can't stand to see their girlfriend/wife succeeding without them

Even the scene where Stephen complains about being stood up in the restaurant is a red flag to me because his framing is paranoid and carries on that "people know who I am/should know who I am and you make me look bad just by existing with your career and brilliance."

I'm glad that scene at the benifit is considered canon by the fandom tbh
