Nevermind Our Wicked Ways by indoorbutch

Summary
Maybe seeing me again is as inconsequential to her as running in to an acquaintance from high school. After all, it was such a brief relationship, not even a relationship at all, just a—a thing. And when I was reckless enough to tell her that I loved her? Radio silence. No reciprocity. Over the past three years, I’ve come to the conclusion that all the intensity of emotion was one-sided, and Therese was just a straight girl who got caught up in the illicit thrill of being pursued by an older woman...
This is my take on the "Therese never went to the Oak Room" prompt, but make it a modern AU. Tell me if it's working for you. I'm feeling rusty.

Summary
I recently started this story after resolving to myself to write more. Carol and Therese is currently my favorite love story so I decided to take a stab in this department.
I think the reason that Patricia Highsmith was so successful at telling this love story, and later obviously Phyllis, Todd, Cate and Rooney, was because she got us invested in the characters before their major acts are committed. We love them, and we forgive them their faults by the time they make a commitment to an act.
So, this is my first shot. There will be smut, but it will be later on, and if you've read the book or watched the movie, you'll know when. I aim to continue this after the end of the book and the movie.
This is Carol and Co morphed into present day in NYC. Carol's occupation has yet to be revealed, and Therese is currently working at a paper and invitation store. Their meeting is chance, but their intent thereafter isn't. Please feel free to comment. This is new to me and I'm still finding my way.
Dusky & Sweet is how Highsmith once described Carol, hence the nameBookmarked by Jacx

Summary
It has been a few months since the mess that was Paris Fashion Week. Andy has taken her new job at the NY Mirror, but she still thinks back to her Runway days (and especially a certain someone she left behind) frequently.
Emily, Serena and Nigel think they must do something about the ever foul mood of their Editor-In-Chief. Along the way, Emily finds that maybe, she wants more than friendship from Serena.

How do you send the Devil Wears Prada movie-verse off in a totally different direction? Start by changing one thing. Add in some romance, a dash of investigative journalism, a lot of longterm pining, and a number of very familiar lines of dialogue and you get "Even."

Summary
Andi Sachs is a mess. Recently a college graduate (third try's a charm!) she has no idea what to do next. Estranged from her mother, they're nevertheless under the same roof for the first time in over six years. She has choices, so many choices. There's time to figure it all out and maybe fix what's broken in her relationship with her mom.
The one year anniversary of Miranda's divorce from her first husband has come and gone along with any desire for another relationship. As ever, Runway and her twins are her only focus but that doesn't mean she won't find time to date when there's a suitable candidate. For now, she has sole custody of Caroline and Cassidy and a gaudy divorce settlement, thanks to her lawyer and friend, Evelyn Sachs. The last thing she will ever do is risk everything she's gained for someone who's not ready for her.
Love comes anyway.

Summary
*The information and general ideas are based off of one of my favorite international intrigue authors: Eric B. Lustbader. Derived from his Asian-American-Soviet-era, Nicholas Linnear novels such as The Jian or Second Skin, I began to imagine Miranda and Andy in such a startling and complex world where loyalties are few and the shadows are often dangerous.

Summary
"Paris..." Andy sighed deeply.
Paris had been a disaster, both personally and professionally.
Leaving aside all the events, (Miranda's divorce, Nigel's dashed dream job, Irv's intrigue against Miranda) that had happened in Paris, a simple text message had ended up throwing Andy off balance.
Addendum: Andy has secrets that Miranda did not expect. But now she has to deal with them. Which sometimes doesn't seem to be easy.

Summary
Andy made the rash decision to leave Miranda in Paris. Miranda made the calculated decision to keep her, no matter the cost. Is she ready to pay the price?
“Do you wish to see the depths I'd sink to keep you?” Miranda asked, coming to a stop right in front of Andy, looming over her, eclipsing the light coming from the lamps. Eclipsing any thought. Miranda tilted her head to the side, regarding Andy calmly, her eyes a dark storm. “Is that what you want?” She placed a hand on Andy’s leg and knelt regally in front of her. “Do you wish to see contrition, Andrea?"
